Beauty behind the magic

chapter 10 "every bit the fallen angel"

ASHTON'S POV :
i stood in shock at the sight ahead of me.  I had come to this party because my friend Ben was dating the girl who owned this house. 

It was common courtesy to come too.  So i decide i would accompany the guys. 

It was a normal party at first with loud music,  drunken teenagers and dancing.  We gathered around the pool table to play a game.  I was really into it.  Until i heard my friends gasp. 

I looked up and saw a dark angel walk in.  I was enamored by her and i stared too.  Just looking at her made me feel hot and bothered. 

That was until she turned and looked in my direction.  My heart stopped.

Tori. 

I had never imagined i would see her like this.  I had succeeded in avoiding her all week.  Each day she grew more distant. But now i couldn't believe this was the same girl. 

She wore a black dress that flowed around her while hugging to her waist.  He long hair swished and her feet clicked on the floor. 

But it was her eyes that really got me.  She had made them dark and mysterious, enhancing the blue in them.  She looked every bit the fallen angel. 

She swept her eyes towards me and they landed straight on me.  They widened a fraction,probably at my expression.  I felt shock waves running down my spine. 

I wanted this girl. 

She quickly turned and walked into the kitchen with her friends.  I turned too, trying to distract myself.  I played the rest of the game and left for the kitchen, hoping to catch her. 

I walked in only to find her slamming a shot. There were two more glasses on the table.  I felt alarmed.  How much was she drinking?!  "you know, you're gonna have  a hell of a hang over if you carry on at that pace"  i said. 

She whipped around and looked at me.  She pointed to herself in question and i just nodded.  She waved it away. 

" So" she began.  I quirked an eyebrow "how come you're talking to me"  she finished.  A saw a flash of something in her eyes.  I just shrugged, determined not to let any feelings show.  She frowned.  I almost smiled. 

Frowning tori was just so darn adorable.

"i never  really ignored you" i started" we were never really friends" i let out. Convincing her was important.  

she just shook her head at me and strangely i felt  my heart clench at  her disappointment . "so since we're not friends it would make sense if we don't idly chit-chat right?" she demanded before shifting around me .i grabbed her arm stopping her , tired of this game i was playing to save my heart . 

i leaned down near her ear and i felt her stiffen , a rogue blush stealing across her cheeks . she looked ahead of me . "i never said we aren't " i whispered "we didn't used to be but we are " . she turned around and came even closer , our noses touching . i felt like i had been kicked in the ribs , her violet eyes in all their glory placed right in front of me . 

"friends not friends , good not good , it doesn't matter to me" she whispered , her voice husky . i could feel myself getting dizzy just staring t her . "you ignored me" she began , a tinge of hurt lacing her voice " you ignored me after you basically spent my first day in school hitting on me.thought you liked me even though we knew each other only a few days ,but you know what? i dont need you . so lets drop the act before we get too  deep and can't back out" she finished . 

i knew my face held shock . i was not expecting that . she said it with such conviction . now the guilt ate at me . had she been so offended ? i thought i was doing the both of us a favour . i stood there , staring at her as she stared back . 

finally she pulled her eyes away and shook her head "you don't even care about me and honestly.." i didnt have time to think as i cut her off by grabbing her and kissing her . i felt like i was a voyeur on myself . i could feel it in my toes . 

being popular , i had kissed plenty of girls before , but no one had given me such an intense rush . i pulled her closer and she complied . i never wanted to let her go . 

that was until she pulled away . i felt euphoric , a smile finding its way onto my face . a smile she completely wiped off my slapping me hard across my face. 

"what the.." i was cut off by her as she yelled at me . "i am not one of your groupies summers" i heard her bite out . confusion passed through me . 

groupies?

"your not" i began as she cut me off  and walked out the door , slamming it . i slumped against the counter and recovered . 

that was hands down the most amazing kiss i ever had . and i had gotten slapped for it . the only option now was alcohol , lots of it . 

*************************************

as i walked into my house , drunk of my mind , i clambered up to my bedroom and sank into my mattress . my parents were heavy sleepers and slept in the opposite side of the house . i closed my eyes and willed for sleep to come. 

as i closed my eyes i could only see tori's face in my mind and the feel of her lips lingered . i felt confused and shocked , but decided i would deal with it tomorrow . 

i would ask her what was the matter . 

i wanted her and ashton summers always got what he put his mind to getting .
