Phoenix and his new lover

Part three

Before anything could go anywhere I spoke up.
"So hot chocolate?"
"On the table,"
"Okay cmon" I said tugging him to follow.
But he didn't budge. More emotion flowed into me.
"Oh Phoenix.. I want my hot chocolate" I said trying to be cheerful.
More emotion. I had to take a deep breath. 
"It's probably getting cold right now.." I said trying to keep the same tone. 
But then he tugged me.  He was looking down the entire time.  He grabbed my arm and gently tugged me towards him, now trying to make his way into the his room.
I tried to resist again but more emotion. I realized what he wanted.
"Phoenix grab hold of yourself."
He just continued tugging me and successfully pulling me towards the bed.
I sorta tripped and fell forward but he caught me. He helped me back to my feet and I gripped his arms. I looked at him and he was just a different type of handsome. He pushed more emotion into me as he leaned down.  I let my hands travel from his arms to around his neck as he slid his hands down to my back. He brushed his lips against mine.
"Kiss me." he said under his breath
I let out a small giggle.
Before I could do anything he closed the distance.  I closed my eyes and I felt longing and want, from him.  I ran my hands through his perfect hair and he lifted me up. I broke away from him as he placed me on the bed.
It was honestly hard to fight the emotion. "No Phoenix.."
"Yes,"
"Phoenix stop."
I stared at him as he approached me.  I backed away and I got off the bed from the other side. 
"Phoenix I just want my hot chocolate" I joked. "You have to control yourself"
He took a breath and now he was actually relaxed.  Emotion was everywhere.  My head started to spin, but I tried my best to hide it.  I walked over to where he was standing and I took his hand in my own and pulled him towards the kitchen.
The emotion subsided. 
"Oh I have to be home by 8 by the way."
"I know" he said honestly.  I didn't even want to know how he knew.
"Okay so I have to get the bus at like 7."
"I can make it so you can stay here."
"How?"
He led me to the kitchen balcony.
The cold air hit my skin and I shivered.  He put an arm around me and was still.  Then I heard a loud thunder. And it started raining in the far part of the city. 
My eyes were wide in amazement.
"You did that!?"
"Yes" he said proudly
"That's so cool!"
"I guess, you haven't seen much yet.  So what I wanted to do was just make a really bad hurricane that forces you to stay here."
"My dad would never let me stay with a guy."
"I'm Ashleys friend, and I met up with you guys out of surprise on the city.  Ashley had to go back home for an emergency and her friend is making sure you don't get pneumonia." He smiled as if it was the greatest plan ever.
"Psh I could've came up with that." I remarked.
I wanted to text one of my other friends right now.  Ashley never met her but we are somehow pulling each other through high school together. 
I didn't because I knew that would be rude to Phoenix.
"Hey go take the remote and turn on the tv, go to the news"
He rubbed his hand over my back as I left him for the living room. 
I went in search for the remote, until I realized it was right next to the tv.  I grabbed it and I sat into the couch.  I also took out my phone to quickly text her. 
I found Angie's number.  I suddenly forgot what I was going to text her so I turned on the tv and went in search for the news channel.
I found channel 7 and there was breaking news. "Hurricane forming over Manhattan right now... Couldn't see it coming.... Out of no where... Stay indoors..." I only caught a few words.  I ran to Phoenix.
"Phoenix this isn't a good idea just to have me stay over.  Anyways my dad would probably travel out here to get me either way."
"It's a small hurricane, I'm just making it seem like it's huge, but it's nothing"
"I'm trusting you on this."
He laughed.
"What's so funny?" I asked
"Nothing, it's just you trust me already."
"Oh.. Well yea"
He put his arm around me as he Brewed up the storm.  It happened really fast actually. 
"You should call your parents" he advised
"Oh okay,"
I walked away into the living room and I called my mom. 
It rang, Phoenix came to sit next to me. It rang the second time and she picked up.
"Hello?" She seemed confused
"Hi!" I squeaked
"Where are you? You should get out of the city."
"Oh I met one of Ashleys friends today while we were at Starbucks and then Ashley had to rush home for some emergency while we were at the mall, and so now I'm at his place."
"His? How old is he?" That was like the only thing she heard: 'his'.
I looked at Phoenix.
He put up ten fingers and then eight.
I was wide eyed at him.
"Oh he's eighteen"
"Gabby you know you can't trust anyone, even if it's your friend's friend."
Phoenix put his arm around my waist, I tried to shoo him off but he didn't budge.
"I know! But listen if Ashley trusts him than I trust him.  And Ashley left me with him right now, and it's much better than being outside, by myself, in Manhattan, where its started to pour."
I was out of breath.  I was in trouble when I got back home.
Then her tone changed.
"Okay, fine.  You stay with, what's his name?"
"Phoenix."
"You stay with Phoenix and if he hurts you call the police and us okay?"
"Okay.." I tried not to sound angry.
"Wait how long can I stay?" I asked
Phoenix tensed.
"As long as you have too, if he doesn't mind."
I smiled. "Nope he doesn't mind."
"Okay only if it gets really bad overnight, then you might want to ask if you can stay over, if you can't I'll send your father to come get you."
"Okay, he wouldn't mind.  He's really nice.  Not like other weird guys."
She laughed "okay be careful"
"Okay byee"
"Bye" and she hung up.
I felt Phoenix relax beside me.
"So now that you're staying overnight, I suppose we should get you some clothes while the rain hasn't started yet."
I giggled and I laid my head on his shoulder. 
He wrapped his both arms around me and held me tight. 
"What do you like to wear?" He asked
"Oh like jeans, sweatpants, t-shirts, hoodies, um I think that's about most."
"What about little cute dresses that might fit nicely on you?"
I blushed but tried to talk.
"Oh um yea. Like on special special occasions. I find dresses uncomfortable and uhh yea."
He smiled at me.
"Okay we should get you something you can sleep in though."
"Oh well, I don't know."
"Well what do you wear to sleep?"
"A big shirt with sweatpants." I laughed.
Most girls wore little cute whatever's to sleep and I looked like a warm potato. I don't mind, because I was a comfy, warm potato.
"Oh, I only wear pajama pants to sleep."
He was trying to make me blush. This little, I'm going to get him back.
He saw me turn red when I smiled and he laughed.
"Stoppp!" I said
"Stop what?" He continued laughing.
"Stop making me blush you idiot!"
He laughed more "no, you're too cute"
"Ahhhhggg!" I got up and left him by himself on the couch. I walked into the kitchen and he followed me. 
"Okay okay cmon lets go, we have shopping to do."
He grabbed my hand and we made our way out of the apartment, using the elevator.  The wind was fierce as soon as I stepped out but it didn't seem to bother him.  I took my other hand to grip his arm instinctively.  He squeezed the hand he was holding and he started to relax again while we started walking. 
"The mall is two blocks over there" he pointed with his free hand to the left. 
"Okay-y" I stuttered, shivering.
We made our way to the mall and the heat hit me as soon as we walked in. It was still cold but less than it was outside. 
"So where do you wish to go?" He asked
"Um I don't know, I barely go shopping."
"Okay, how about khols?"
"Okay, that's fine."
Khols was the first store we saw.  We walked inside and I was a little hyper to go shopping.  The only real time I went shopping was with Ashley. 
I stared at the beautifully trimmed dresses.  I felt his eyes on me but I didn't care, I always wanted a nice collection of dresses but I can't even afford to buy a shirt and jeans.  Phoenix turned all of a sudden leading me to the dresses.
"Hey where are we going?" I asked as I looked up at him, I didn't notice how tall he was.
He picked up a dress.  It was a silky, black, above-the-knee type of dress.
"I think this suits you" he grinned.
"Phoenix I need pj's not a dress."
"I think I can supply for my girl"
My heart beat faster and I couldn't hold back the smile.  I guess we were together together.  He handed me the dress.
"You find me some pj's and I'll try this on"
"Okay text me when you're done taking your selfies" and he laughed as we both walked away.
I rolled my eyes and walked into the changing room.  This dress did fit pretty well.  I took out my phone and took a lot of pictures. Then I texted Phoenix.
"I'm doneeee"
"Okay I'll be right there"
I locked my phone, hid the tags, and fixed my hair real quick. 
"Alright I'm here!" He sorta yelled.
It was weird because it was so empty.
I walked out of the stall and I saw him staring at me again.
"You look stunning"
I must've turned red.
"Oh thank you!" I squealed.
He walked up to me and I felt a little insecure. He took my hands in his own.
He laughed to himself. "I can't believe how lucky I am."
I was confused for a moment. But then he looked into my eyes.
"Oh... Me-me too" i stuttered
He chuckled and caught me in another kiss.  It happened so fast.  I just felt a rush of emotion before he pulled away again.
"Go change, I'll be in looking over there" he smiled at me.
"Okay" I said I little hyper.
I went back into the changing room and changed back into my clothes.  I heard buzzing coming from my phone on the shelf. 
I grabbed it and looked at the screen.  Of course that was Angie spamming me.
"Hiii!" I texted her back
"It's about time! Where are you? There's a hurricane coming!"
"Oh lol I'm at the mall and I know lol"
"Wow..."
"Lol oops"
"Just wow, your gonna get sick"
"Lol nopes I won't"
Then I got a text from Phoenix.
"I got you some clothes hurry up!! They're already home too."
"Okay wow"
Ugh so many texts.
"Yes you will!" Angie texted again
"Kevin said you will!"
"Are you serious lol" I texted back
"Brb I'm tryna get out of here"
"Okaieeee"
I locked my phone and got my shoes on.
Then there was another series of texts right before I got out of the changing room.
"Gabby stand on the seat of your room"
It was Phoenix.
"What why?"
"Just do it!!"
I crouched onto the seat and tried to stay still.
I heard a man yelling outside. 
I couldn't make out what but he was saying something.
"I know the grigori is here!!"
Oh shoot.
I was praying he was talking about someone else.  I wasn't a grigori yet.  I'm 15.  No not now.
I was shaking as I tried to text Phoenix.
"Crazy man outside..."
He called me.
"Gabby stay calm, don't move okay? I'm coming.  If you can try to put up your guards." He was quiet and scared, for me.
"Okay okay but he wants me?" I asked
"Yes I told you... exiles,"
"Oh... I'm scared I don't want to die" I felt tears welling up.
"No crying, you have to be strong.  You have me and whatever you do don't look at the fight."
"What fight?"
"Well I don't see anyone else who's gonna take him down... I'll come get you soon where you are."
He hung up and I called Angie.
"Hello??"
"Angie oh my gosh"
"What?"
"Long story... Um I'm not allowed to tell you but ahhh I just need someone to talk to!" I should've never called.
"You don't have to tell me... What's wrong?"
"I don't know.. Ehh I'll call you later bye!"
And I hung up.
I was scared.
"Traitor!" I heard the man yell.
"You side with the grigori even in your exile nature!" He was yelling at Phoenix.
I heard the fight go on.  Didn't sound nice at all. Then all of a sudden after a few minutes, there was silence.
I heard nothing.
I texted him.
"Phoenix?"
He yelled out "I'm alright, come out"
I got off and opened the door.  He was walking towards the room but he was looking down at the floor.  He didn't notice me until I ran into him to hug him. I held on to his sweater for dear life. 
"It's okay, nothing happened.  It took a while cause I had to knock out the cameras."
"Oh, are you hurt?"
"I barely ever get hurt."
I laughed relief into his chest.
"Thank God.. Oh my gosh I was scared to death."
"That's why... I have to stay with you.  Exiles are everywhere." He pulled me out of the embrace and held on to my shoulders.
"Please trust me"
"I do Phoenix" I stared into his eyes seeing hurt from the past.
His fear rippled down onto me. 
"Why did you tell me this so quickly.. Like we just met... Why?"
"Because.. I know of a man that held it in away from her and she turned against him for a long time.. Until she realized.. Many things."
"Oh.." I muttered.
"And I didn't want us to go through that."
"Oh ok,"
He chuckled.
"Let's get you home."
"Wait but"
"I already got everything, it's all home.. Enhanced speed remember?" He said mockingly.
"Yea yea yea.. Will I have the same powers as you?"
"I don't think so, but my essence can pass along to you."
"How?"
"If you die, I can bring you back to life, giving you some part of me like my essence."
"That's cool I guess but I don't want to die just yet."
"Let's keep it that way."
I giggled and he chuckled. He slipped an arm around me as we walked out.  I looked around cautiously and was surprised to see no trace of any man.  Phoenix must've realized my concern.
"Once an exile is stabbed with the grigori blade, he is instantly returned to that realm for judgement."
"This is so much."
"I know, you'll learn in time.  You're a fast learner aren't you?"
"I guess." I didn't want to brag but I was pretty good in school. 
"I just want you to know now... That I.. I can't tell you everything just yet.  And believe me it's killing me to hold it back but you will know in due time."
"Now I'm going to annoy the hell out of you to spit it out."
We walked out of the store. 
"You can try," he laughed
"Ugh.." I said in disappointment.
He stopped walking right before we walked outside. He leaned close to my ear and I felt his breath on my neck. 
"Perfect birthday present right?" He pulled back as he grinned slyly enjoying my agony of the thought of the time to wait. 
"Is it good or bad?" I asked worried
"Oh well it matters.. I think you'd love it though.  Because when I found out about... Er... About... About it, I was confused and really happy about it.  And I know you'd love it."
"How could you tell?" I asked
He put his hands on my shoulders, softly and he grinned at me.  My breath hitched a little at his touch.  I couldn't control myself.  He leaned closer to me and I couldn't steady myself.  I tried to avoid his eyes but his soon caught mine.  He slid a hand up to the side of my face letting his fingers linger around.  My heart beat quickened and I felt caught on words.  He was just smiling.
"Well because I know so much about you" he grinned and leaned closer. 
His lips brushed against mine and I was tempted to take it, take the chance for another kiss.   Although, he pulled me towards him first so our lips collided.  I closed my eyes slowly enjoying the moment.  He pulled me closer after a small break of contact by sliding his fingers through my hair. I rested my hands against his chest and he chuckled against my lips.  He deepened the kiss as he tugged me more and more towards him.  He dripped that familiar lustful emotion into me.  He made me want him more.  I slid my hands up and around his neck, playing with his hair. More emotion trickled into me.  My head was telling me to put up my walls, but i couldn't.  I didn't want to.  He kissed me softly one last time before pulling away.  I felt heat rush to my cheeks.  My heart was pounding and my head was calling me an idiot.  I wrapped my arms more so around his neck so I could hug him.  He put his arms around my small body and held me tight. I heard his heart beat ever so calmly. 
"As much as I don't want to let go of you, we have to get home." I could hear the dread in his words.
"Oh.. Okay." I was upset at that fact.
He released me and I took a few steps back. My eyes scattered.  I looked at him then to the floor, then back at him to see his cheeks a little pink.  I giggled and he swung his arm around me finally walking out of the empty mall. 
We made our way to the apartment through the wind.  From the sounds of it, all transit on streets would be cut off in the next hour.  Wow.  Talk about precautions.
I left him and walked toward the elevator forcing him to follow. 
"This thing takes forever" he grunted
"Oh well" I giggled and the doors opened.  I stepped inside with him into the empty elevator.  We made our way to his floor and he unlocked his door as soon as we got there. 
He held the door open for me and I walked in and made my way to the couch.
"I still want my hot chocolate" I said smiling at him, sitting down.
