Do You Believe In Magic? Part 27

Victoria's Point Of View

Jesse and I sat at my kitchen table, we had been practicing for three hours. I felt like I was making a lot of progress. I couldn't make him do anything he didn't want to do, which is the hardest.

"Do you want to try again or shall I?" Jesse asked, I bit my bottom lip.

"Make me do something I don't want to do at all and see if I can not do it. " We locked eyes.

"Get a beer from your refrigerator. You know you want it, Victoria. I bet you can't wait to sip that icy cold liquid." I stood up, not breaking eye contact and then I shook my head. I smiled and sat down. He smirked and clapped mockingly.

"Thank you, Jesse!" I hugged him with excitement, he chuckled.

"I didn't do much." He said and I pulled back.

"You're helping me. That is much." He chuckled again. "Can we try again?"

"Why don't you try to make me do something that I want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" I asked with a laugh, he smirked.

"Well, I want to hug you. It makes me feel human, your warmth." I smiled softly.

"That's sweet. Are you ready to do this?" He nodded and we locked eyes. "Hug me, Jesse." I said in an inviting tone. "Jesse, wrap your arms around me." He leaned forward then smiled and shook his head.

"Not bad." He commented.

"I seriously suck. Don't I?" I frowned and slumped back in my chair.

"Hey, hey." He said softly, he put two fingers under my chin, I looked up. "You're doing amazing for using it for the first time. If you use it on someone who isn't able to use compulsion, it would work."

"Thanks, Jesse. You're a great teacher." He winked and smiled charmingly, I smiled back.

Luke's Point Of View

"It feels so good to laugh with you again." I said, laughing.

"I know." Rosanna-the person I was talking on the phone to-said with her own giggle.

"Shut up, dude." Ethan growled, I ignored him.

"Give him a break, he's talking to his girlfriend." Maggie said with a smile.

"We haven't seen each other in a long time." I said, Maggie's face dropped.

"Who are you talking to?" James asked, I put my hand over the receiver.

"Rosanna."

"Your ex girlfriend?" He asked, I nodded. "Can I talk to her?"

"Sure." I handed him the phone, he snapped it shut. "What was that for, man?"

"Why are you talking to your ex, dude?"

"We're just friends!" I said angrily.

"You can't be friends with your ex when you have a girl!" Maggie exclaimed. I stomped out of the house, very irritated. I drove to Victoria's house.

"Hey Vic." I stepped into the kitchen, she tore my gaze away from Jesse and smiled at me.

"Hey Luke." She stood up and went to me, we kissed softly.

"How's the lesson?" I put an arm around her shoulders and looked at her.

"Great. I have the best teacher ever." She beamed at Jesse and he chuckled.
