Chapter 11: Lights... Camera... Action!
“You look adorable while sleeping.”
“AHHH!” my eyes fly open and I fall on the floor with a loud thud. I look around to see where the voice came from and my eyes fall on him. ugh. “Noah! You scared me!” I yell and he puts a finger over his lips, “Shh.. You don’t want lover boy to find out.” He says and chuckles.
“So.. What have you got so far?” he asks sitting comfortably on the bed, stretching his arms and legs. Nothing, I wanted to say but I don’t. I just keep quiet and rub my hands over my face. I turn to look at him and he is just sitting there casually, picking at his nails. I get up and grab a hand towel from the closet and head to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and use the towel to wipe my face clean. “Are you done wasting time?” he asks when I come out of the door.
“Um, I didn’t actually get any information yet.... I, uh, thought that I’d take this slow, so he won’t be suspicious, I guess?” I sit across him on the bed, waiting for him to blow up on me. Instead I hear him laugh.
“Oh, Jennifer.... you really don’t know how to play with him, do you?” he says and shakes his head. I can see the amusement in his eyes. He chuckles again. “He is your mate, and even if you hold a knife at his throat, he will not find it suspicious because he is blindly in love with you. All you have to do is get intimate with him. Show him that you trust him, spend time with him and when the iron is hot, you strike.” He says looking straight into my eyes. Then he leans towards me until we are inches apart. I can feel his breath on my ear and shivers run down my spine. I close my eyes as his lips touch my ear, “Lights... Camera... Action!” he whispers and I hear the bedroom door unlock. I open my eyes and look around. He left.
“Searching for something?” the voice startles me. i turn around to see him standing near the closets.
“Oh, Harry.. uh, no. I was just... I, uh-“ I was too busy registering Noah’s words into my head. I wasn’t even paying attention to what I was saying.
“Jenn? Are you alright?” I feel his hand on my shoulder. I turn to look at his handsome features. His eyebrows knitted together in confusion and concern. His eyes flashing worry. ‘All you have to do is get intimate with him.’ Noah’s word play in my head.
“Jennifer?” Harry asks again. His voice slow and soft. Before I know it, both my hands fly up to his collar and I pull him down until his face is in level with mine. He looks a bit taken back by my bold actions. He just stares into my eye and I stare into his beautiful purple eyes. I inch myself closer so that our faces are slightly brushing together. Do it Jennifer! I say to myself. I move my gaze from his eyes to his lips and then back to his eyes, before I could make a move he crashes his lips on mine. His hands slowly snake around my waist. Our lips move in perfect synchronisation. I feel his grip getting tighter on my waist, pulling me closer to him. He bites my bottom lip making me gasp. He takes this opportunity to slide his tongue into my mouth. His tongue grazing my mouth hungrily. My hands make their way to his hair. I grab a fair amount of his hair into my hands and give it a slight pull. He moans into my mouth and pulls back.
He sets his forehead on mine and we both gasp for air. I open my eyes and see a smirk appear on his face, “You know, if you wanted me so bad, you should have just told me. I’m all yours anyway.” He says sounding incredibly sexy.
“Yeah, right.” I say and push him back, fighting back the smile that is threatening to appear on my face. I have to admit, this kiss, was amazing. Well, it was beyond amazing. It was almost magical. I suddenly feel his hands pulling me towards him. “What about a round two?” he asks winking at me.
“No can do, sir.” I chuckle and wiggle out of his grip.
“Aw, you just hurt my feelings.” He pouts and wipes a fake tear of his cheek.
“Um, Harry?” Time to get down to business. “Yeah?” he says lying down on the bed. I walk towards him and lay my head on his shoulder. For a moment he looks confused. Obviously, the girl who was not ready to accept him is now sleeping next to him with her head on his shoulder. So much for not making him suspicious. “You’re in a very nice mood today.” He says holding me close to his chest. I nod.
“Um, tell me more about the Black Crystal. Like, why is it so important? How does it look? Where is it?” I ask.
“Why are you so interested in the crystal?” he asks chuckling.
“I, uh, I just.. I’m just curious I guess?” I say shrugging.
“Okay, Come on, I’ll show you where it is. But you can’t touch it okay? I don’t want finger prints to appear on it.” He says arching an eyebrow and I just nod. He both get up and I make my way towards the door.
“Where are you going?” he asks. “Um, you said we were going to see the Black Crystal, so I just..” I trail off when I see him laugh and shake his head. “Just stand there.” He says and starts throwing all the pillows off the bed.
“Um, Harry? What are you doing?” he looks at me but doesn’t respond. “I am not going to clean that up.” I say and he grins but doesn’t say anything. He pulls off all the covers and the mattress. I take a step forward to get a better look of what he is doing. I gasp when I see a door. This bed has a door? That is pretty cool. He opens the door with one hand and holds out the other hand for me to grab it.
I take his hand and he helps me climb into the bed and then he jumps in too. “Um, Harry? Why are we standing in the bed like this?” I ask getting more and more curious. “Just wait and watch.” He whispers into my ear. After a few seconds the surface of the bed starts shaking and then it starts going down. It’s like an elevator. We keep going down and harry closes the bed door behind us. It’s dark and kind of suffocating. The elevator thing starts going faster. I grab a fistful of his t-shirt. “It’s okay.” He says rubbing my back.
Suddenly the elevator came to a stop. It was pitch black and hot. Very, very, hot. “Ready?” Harry says. He sounds excited and I couldn’t help but smile at him. He pushes the wall in front of us and it starts falling, brick by brick. He claps his hands together and suddenly the passage in front of us lights up. The whole passage is covered in white tiles and the white lights shine like diamonds. “Come on.” Harry says pulling me with him. We walk and keep walking until we reach a big silver door.
Harry and presses the Red button beside the door.
“Name?” the machine asks.
“Alpha Harry.” Harry says loud and clear.
“Number of people?” The machine asks again
“Two. Alpha Harry and Luna Jennifer.” Harry says and the door opens slowly. I gasp as my eyes trace the room. It’s like a huge freezer.
“I should have brought a sweater.” I say not taking my eyes off the surrounding.
“Uh, yeah, I should have asked you to carry one. Sorry.” Harry says scratching the back of his head.
“It’s fine.. this place is beautiful. Is that ice?” I say pointing to the corners of the room.
“Nope, crystals. They are called cold crystals.”
“Oh. Um, so? Where is it? You know, the famous Black Crystal?”
“Right here.” Harry says and taps his foot twice on an X sign. The sign quickly disappears. Harry grabs a pair of gloves hanging on the wall behind him. The place where the X sign was, is now opening. It opens about a foot wide. Harry bends down and carefully grabs it.
“Wow.” I say looking at the beautiful crystal in his hand. “Beautiful, isn’t it?” Harry says not moving his eyes from the crystal.
“Yeah.” I say almost in a whisper. The crystal is almost round in shape with black sparkling fluid inside it. It almost looks black but when you shake it, you see the liquid moving inside.
So all I have to do is steal this crystal and hand it over to Noah and I’ll be free?
It’s not going to be a piece of cake but at least it will be worth a try.
