The Ink Of Hearts.

Part Twenty Seven: An Excerpt from a Book I Will Never Write. Well, Maybe.

"Why are you doing this?"

He demands as soon as we are out of the ballroom.

I ball my hands into fists and walk forwards, ignoring any footsteps falling behind me.

But then those footsteps start to overcome mine and block my way.

"Jack, get out of my way."

My voice is like iron wings, cutting through the space between us.

He tilts my head up, my hazel forest eyes meeting his ice cold ones.

I almost flinch, when I see the icy fire clashing with the hot water in his eyes.

When I see his jaw clenching, with every heart beat of mine.

Key word: Almost.

"Dear Jack. If you have any chivalry left inside that stone cold heart, would you please let a girl pass through?"

I can smell smoke.

We are on fire.

Two eyes, two souls, glaring fire at eachother.

He lets the hand gripping my chin slip.

"Dear Aless, if you have any sense left in that pea-sized brain, would you answer my question?"

Okay.

He did it.

But then I started this. And never have I ever let anyone finish what I started.

So I compose myself, and let out a breath.

And smile.

"Whatever." I say while flashing my teeth at him.

I leave him there, standing still, but his eyes are dancing with hatred.

I only manage a few, shaky steps towards the refreshments area, when I am slammed against a wall.

Which wall? What wall?

I have no idea.

All I can see is him.

All I can feel is him.

All I can sense is him.

When my eyes meet his, I know that I never ever stopped.

Never stopped loving him, like I never stopped breathing.

He lowers himself, so he can whisper in my ear.

I just hope he can't hear my heart speaking volumes to him, when my mouth is sealed shut.

"You know I don't like her," He says, gently brushing his lips against my ear, making me shiver.

"Then maybe you love her?"

His grip tightens. His eyes never stray from mine.

Why is he suddenly so near?

"I know I don't."

He presses his fingertips in my skin for emphasis.

I shrug.

"You know what you know."

Why is he grinning now?!

"And I know that you know I don't like her."

"D-does it matter?"

I. Stuttered.

You had one job.

What he says next, renders me speechless.

What he says next makes me feel as if my heart is beating double time.

"It matters because you matter."

A/N: Horrible! Absolutely horrible! I can NOT write... Ugh.....

Lol it's okay.

"There is always time for success." -LxxxAI

One day maybe I'll reach the sky...

But then I know I will want more.
