Magic

Chapter 25

Magdalyn "maggie" James

The question has been eating me up all night. I wanted to know who this girl was and why she came up to me to ask about him. How does she know him and why did she think that it was okay for her to come up to me like that. I was sitting at the table next to kirsnick watching him stuff his face full of food. Him and the rest of the guys were eating like it was the first time they had ever seen food before.

'why did he really bring me here. Was it just to embarrass me?' I thought as I picked at my food. After they ate their full we left the restaurant but instead of getting back in a car we started down the street walking along with the locals who were going from bar to bar enjoying themselves.

"Hey, can I asked you something?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said plainly. He reached over and grabbed my hand. 

"earlier at the beach, a girl named Jade walked up to me and said she was looking for you. You know her?" I looked over waiting for a response or any kind of change in his facial expression that would let me know that he was telling a lie, but nothing changed. he kept the same cool attitude and nearly emotionless expression no matter what I asked him. 

"no," He replied. "I've never heard anyone by that name."

"Oh, she called you rocket.....but maybe she was talking about someone else." I said.

"Yeah, I think so." He said. "nobody has ever called me that."

Before I could open my mouth to say anything else he pulled me from the side walked and over a patch of grass. There was a low railing separating the grassed area from the beach ahead of us. I heard one of the security shout after us but kirsnick turned and threw him a wave before we continued onto the beach. I looked back and there was a single guard following at a distance behind us.

We walked on the beach until a police officer came over to us and told us that the beach was closed and we would have to leave. I didn't bring up the issue of jade any further because honestly, he sounded like he really didn't know who she was. Maybe she was just a crazy fan who's really good at digging for information. They have crazy girls like that out there after all.

We walked back to the hotel. He didn't let go of my hand the entire time even as we approached the door to the hotel room that Jam and I shared. when we got to the door we found another guard standing there. "What are you doin?" He asked the man.

"you guys pay me so I do whatever you ask." He replied.

"What?" I asked.

"offset and your cousin are having a private moment and he requested that I stand here until you return." The guard said. "then when you get here I'm supposed to ask you to leave."

"What kinda shit-"

"you don't have to ask me twice." I said I looked over at him. "it looks like I have to stay with you tonight."

"I, uh...what?" He stuttered.

"take her to your room man," the guard said as he made a face that he thought I didn't see in order to drop a hint that kirsnick either did pick up or one that he was trying to ignore. It seems like everyone has so much to say about he and I being together like that, but we ignore them every time.

It isn't something that we discussed in great detail but it's understood that nothing like that would happen between us until everything was right. when we got to his room When we got to his room he went over to his suitcase and pulled out some clothes. He gave me a t-shirt and a pair of shorts to wear before he pulled the suitcase off of the sofa and sat down. "thanks." I said to him.

"no problem." He replied.

I showered quickly and when I came back out the bathroom he was laying on the sofa with his arm thrown over his eyes. "you asleep already?" I asked. He lifted his arm and looked at me.

"Almost," he stood up from the sofa and grabbed some clothes that he had taken out for himself. "you can have the bed I'll sleep on the sofa."

"no, this is your room and I'm shorter than you. I should sleep on the sofa." I said. He looked over at me and raised an eyebrow.

"You really gonna try to argue me down?" he asked.

"no," I replied going over to the bed.

He went into the bathroom and stayed in there for a long while. I was sitting on the bed watching TV when he finally did come out of the bathroom he was shirtless. He dropped his dirty clothes on the floor and pulled his shirt on. I was staring but I didn't realize that I was staring until he turned around and actually caught me.

"you might wanna close your mouth before you start drooling." He said with a playful smile.

"Me? drool over you? Never." I said.

He got into the bed and laid down next to me. I scooted to one end of the bed because I wasn't trying to be too close. He looked over at me and reached an arm wrapped it around my body and pulling me closer to him. "you wanted me to sleep in the bed right?" I asked me.

"I could sleep-"

"you're not sleeping on the damned sofa so stop trying." He said. He sat up quickly and turned the light off then laid back down. "go to sleep."

"fine, whatever you say."
