Burning for her

Chapter 14

Abigail 

"Jump!" My finger trembled above the button as she slightly yelled at me.

"I-"

"Jump, love!" She warned me and I really had no idea what to do.

"Shoot!" I watched the helicopter crash into a huge mountain, causing everyone inside to burn to ashes basically.

"I told you you should jump." Clara leaned back on her chair, crossing her arms in front of her chest. I couldn't help my eyes run down her body, from her baggy t-shirt to her shorts.

"You did not tell me how to jump." I put the controller down to the desk.

"Everybody knows how to jump. Common knowledge." She smiled softly, looking at the screen where the huge Mission fail words were appearing.

"Apparently I don't." I shrugged. Before we started playing I was afraid that if I fail I will feel bad about it, but I didn't care about my mistake, because the way she looked at me was more than enough to make me forget about everything.

"It's the X, love." She grabbed the controller, putting it in my hand again. "Do you wanna try again?"

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Did you change your mind about a quick guide?" She smiled at me. Her hair was all out of the place, a few red marks on her collarbone. Nearly not as visible as the arks she left on my chest. In the dim blue light of the room and in the old shirt and shorts, she looked even more beautiful than ever.

"Yes, apparently I'm not a natural." For starters I refused her help, thinking that I could figure it out alone. Well I could not.

Clara rolled closer to my chair with hers, her legs spreading as she leaned forward to explain to me everything I had to know so I would not die instantly. "So, this is a ps4 controller, so it's not the same if you play with an xbox but very similar."

I honestly did not pay proper attention to what she was saying. Her voice was too smooth, her hands touching mine in the process and after the brush of her finger over mine all the braincells I have left and died on the spot.

The game was much faster than I imagined, but when I successfully exited the helicopter without dying I was pretty damn proud of myself. "You are doing so great, love." I tried really hard actually. "Things are gonna go down quickly now."

"I'm gonna die so soon." My eyes jumped to every little detail on the screen, not knowing what to pay attention to.

"You are doing good, don't panic." Her arms settled on the side of my chair. "Someone will pop around from the corner." She warned me.

"Ahh" It wasn't that big of a surprise but I died as soon as the man noticed me. "How did you know?"

"There is a map in the corner of the screen." She pointed. "If you are close enough, there will be a red dot signing an enemy."

"Noted." I nodded. After a few more rocky rounds I picked up on the flow, killing three people before dying. I don't know if it was impressive or not, but Clara said I was really good. And I always believed her when she said I was good at something.

"I'll get you a drink." Clara pushed off her chair, quickly jogging out and coming back in a second with a cherry coke in her hand. She placed it onto the desk after opening it, giving a quick kiss onto my cheek. "Do you wanna go again?"

"Uhum." I hummed, starting the game, biting my lip concentrating. Before I could get off the plane, a huge Pause caption appeared. "Wha-"

I didn't have a chance to finish my sentence, Clara spun my chair around, smashing her lips against mine. My breath hitched, too surprised to kiss back properly for the first time.
