I Time Travel for Love (chp.4)
--------Mike------
I decided to listen to her so I wouldn't get the "look" from her. I rested my head on her lap and started to watch tv. She started playing with my hair and it felt so nice. It made me relax for once in a really long time. She made me feel so happy. All the emotions I thought I had lost were still in me when I was around her. I grabbed her hand and kissed her palm, I felt her shiver. Just as I did this Josh walked into the living room. I thought, way to ruin the moment.
"I see your feeling better mike?" He said. Anger clearly in his eyes.
"Yeah you didn't hit me too hard." I said.
"If I wouldve known you'd be in here making Annabel feel sorry for you I would have tackled you harder." He said, clenching his fists.
"You didn't hit me that hard to begin with Annie just insisted I lay down. Don't be jealous. If you want her attention so much I'll tackle you gladly." I said getting up. Annabel looked at both of us clearly angry.
"That's all you guys do is fight! I don't know why I look forward to coming here every year!" She yelled stomping up the stairs. I saw a tears welling up in her eyes and she stomped up the stairs to her room. Josh was going to follow after her, but I grabbed him by the arm.
"Let her cool off, Josh." I warned. He didn't listen to me, like always.
--------Annabel--------
I slamed the door of my room and sat on the edge of the bed so angry that I felt tears coming down my eyes. I don't know why they always do this! They fight over stupid things like me. They are brothers, they should love eachother. I loved my brother, even though he was just my step brother. As I was thinking I heard a knock at the door.
"What?!" I yelled.
"It's Josh please open the door, Bel." He said sounding sad. I went to the door and opened it. I felt really bad he sounded hurt. He walked into my room and I went to sit on the edge of the bed again. He came to sit by me and hugged me. I started to cry because I felt so hopeless at the moment and he was confort.
"Please Annabel don't cry. I'm sorry I shouldn't of got angry like that. I'll admit I was jealous." He said stroking my hair. I looked up at him.
"Really?" I sniffed.
"Yes. You know I care for you and have feelings for you but I know we can't be together and it hurts me so bad, but at the same time I don't want my brother to take you from me while I have you. I only have you for a month, tops and I want you to myself. That may sound selfish, but im telling you the truth." He said still looking into my eyes. I just couldn't breathe.
"I...I don't know what to say..." I said playing with my hands.
"Maybe this will help..." He said. At that moment he grabbed my chin and lowered his lips to mine. I was so surprised I grabbed his shoulders to push him away, but the kiss got deeper and I clung to him instead. It was amazing I felt like I was floating. He picked me up so that we were kneeling on the middle of my bed. My breath quickened and I was gasping. I pressed closer so that my body was curved to his and he groaned. He started to kiss my neck and I threw my head back. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and I jumped. Josh winked at me and went to open the door. I was so shocked I sat on my bed looking at the ceiling. I didn't want to see who was at the door.
"Josh? Is Annie in there?" Madie's surprised voice trailed to me.
"Yeah but she's a little upset. What's up, mom?" Josh said.
"I just wanted to know if she wanted to come into town with Nikki and I." Madie said.
"I don't think...." Josh was saying but I cut him off.
"Oh I'd love to go! Maybe it will make me feel better." I said jumping off my bed and grabbing my purse. I had to brush by Josh to get through the door and he looked at me puzzled. I just smiled and ran after Mady, not wanting to talk to Josh. I don't know why I did that! I needed to clear my mind.
