She Made Me Feel Alive

Chapter 11

Aimee's POV

"You guys might think I'm crazy..." I trail off, maybe they'll think I need to go to a crazy house or something

I know they'll believe me, but the thing is their encounters were when they were younger. Mine is right now and unlike their stories, which was in the past, mine is still going on.

"Aimee we promise we won't think you're crazy," Melody says sternly, looking at me. I know that look to well.

"Mel, you pinky promise?" I hold my pinky up and she intertwined it with mine and smiled warmly.

We both looked at Derek when we finished promising.

"Why would I think you're crazy? I just told you what I had seen when I was younger. I'm surprised you guys don't think I'm crazy." He mumbles the last part, but he's reluctant to pinky swear with me.

"Okay well here it goes," I swallow awkwardly and push up my glasses.

"...and well the thing is, he's still around. Like you know, he is still in my house.." I finish and take a breath or two.

Melody and Derek have been quiet mostly, Melody would stop me a few times to ask if Adam was cute and other questions. As far as that goes they have given me there full attention and right now I'm kinda scared.

"So like you mean you still see him?" Melody was the one to speak first.

"Yeah." I answer hesitantly.

"Is he here with you?" Derek asks carefully, looking around the cafe's kitchen.

"No, but he's at my house. Last time I saw him..." I finish awkwardly, remembering that we had argued this morning and there's probably no way of telling if he stayed at the house or not.

"Oh." Is all Derek says.

"Well, do you think we could come over later and maybe we can try to see if we can see him too?" Melody chimes in not sounding scared at all anymore.

"Sure, I guess." I shrug, knowing that this evening is going to be dreadful.

When I got home Adam wasn't there, I had checked the spare bedroom and everything. To be honest, I was worried where he could be. I was worried and mad at the same time. I'm still mad at him from this morning, but right now that feeling was gone, I was worried if he had vanished and I wouldn't be able to see him ever again.

It was almost 4 o'clock and Melody and Derek will be here soon, but there was still no signs of Adam.

I wasn't going to fix anything fancy for dinner, so I already had a delivery of pizza ordered. I walk into my kitchen and fix myself a glass of water and just for the hell of it, I grab the whole bag of pretzels in my pantry. As I'm walking back towards the living room I thought I heard something upstairs. I decide to go see what had made like a thumping noise upstairs. I set my glass and the bag of pretzels on the coffee table and make my way towards the staircase.

The noise had stopped once I got to the top of the stairs. The first door on my right was Adam's, so I slowly turned the knob and it opened to reveal Adam sitting in the middle of the bed turning the channel to the TV.

I knew I couldn't touch him all that well but I was already sprinting over to the bed and to my surprise I didn't go through him. I had t-bagged him and right now he was on his side while my body was pressed against his. He looked freaked out and caught off guard. " How did you?.." He lost his words looking at me in astonishment.

I too was out of breath a little and also suprised that I was above him and wasn't going through him.

"I thought you were mad at me?" He asks adjusting his body under mine.

"I was, but when I came home and saw you weren't here I got scared..." I trail off awkwardly. I go to get off him, but his arm snakes around my torso. Our faces only inches away.

"You got scared, why?" He loosens his grip but neither of us move.

"I-I didn't know if you were gone for good or not..." I let those words hang in the air for a while.

He doesn't say anything, he just stares into my eyes. I fix my glasses and his eyes move to my nose and then my lips.

"Aimee?" His eyes only meet mine for a milisecond before they go back to my lips.

"Yes," my lips part, where my low breaths fan his face.

He looks up into my eyes and asks, "Can I kiss you right now?"

I didn't know what to say, I didn't want to deny that I too wanted to kiss him right now, but how could this be happening. I didn't want to mess this up, so I looked at him and nodded and I dipped my face towards his.

Our lips mended to each others. It was like fireworks going off, as cliche as that sounds. The kiss was soft and passionate but it became rougher as we started to battle for dominance. His hands ran down my back as mine were in his hair.

"How can this be happening?" I say between each kiss.

He pulls away first and his hand lightly cups my left cheek. His eyes were full of lust and affection. "Do you not want this?"

I close my eyes for a moment and look back at him. I put my right hand over his chest and say, "I do want this, but how can this happen when you're..." I look down at my hand over his chest.

He lifts my chin up and he looks, I mean really looks into my eyes and finishes, "A ghost. I know, but you can touch me. You can touch my hand, you can touch my cheek, you can touch my chest. It's like I'm not even a ghost, but I am."

"I wish you weren't," my voice breaks a little, "but still, how has this happened. I mean it's been almost two months and look where we're at now." I look at us and he does the same. He laughs and I smile awkwardly, embarrassed by what I had said aloud. I put my head on his chest.

"Hey, don't be embarrassed. I thought I was the only one questioning myself about my feelings too..." He rubs my back softly. I look up at him almost astonished that he had said that he had feelings for me.

He realizes what he had said and covers his face with his hands. "Oh my gosh, I can't believe I said that out loud." His voice is muffled.

I start to laugh and I try to untangle his hands, to see his face. He opens his eyes and sees that I'm smiling and laughing. He smiles and brings my face towards his. Our lips once again battling each others, but with passion.

DING DONG! We're interrupted by the door bell. Adam groans as I quickly peck his lips and roll off of him.

"It's Melody and Derek, I kind of told them about you and they wanted to see if they could see you themselves.." I tell Adam waiting for him to get off the bed.

He stands up and asks, "Can I see if I can pick you up?"

"Why not.." I laugh. I cross both my fingers and he goes to grab my waist and thankfully he picks me up off the floor and sets me back down and hugs me. His embrace told me that he didn't want to let me go..

"We're going to have to look into this you know, with me not going right through everything anymore." He says.

"We can do that later, but for right now act normal and act like everything is fine, if they can even see you, and act like nothing is going on between us okay." I tell him and he goes 'yes ma'am', saluting me.
