Maybe (COMPLETED)

Chapter Fifteen

Isaak's P.O.V again

My brain was in chaos as Mekhi walked stonily next to me. 

Oh my golly gosh what just happened. What is wrong with this guy? He's so hot... I mean mean. He's really mean. And then he is nice cos he actually talked to me... but he did literally call me useless... I sighed loudly and continued with my scatterbrained thoughts. He goes from answering me to teasing me to insulting me to flirting... if you can call that flirting... and then he goes on to be angry and grumpy and hot damn is he sexy af. Uhh... no, Isaak, jeez! No more falling for bad boys!

I glanced sideways at the storm next to me. I sighed again, but this time almost contentedly. God, thunderstorms were sexy. Wait, what?

Mekhi look just happened to look up at me too at that moment, catching my red cheeks. He raised his eyebrows at me, and his eyes flicked down to my slightly open mouth and then he literally growled and murdered the ground with his glare. Talk about mixed signals! I thought as I joined his staring at the ground. Like, if signals were colors it would be one of those modern art things where they threw paint at the canvas. And made it look sexy... goddammit! Isaak, stop it. I snapped at myself, starting to feel like a broken record.  

I wanted to look at him. I know it sounds creepy, but I really did. His brooding eyes and defined jawline and his muscular figure... holy heck I wanted to see all of him! Like, all of him. ALL. 

So I couldn't help it. I look over at him. And at that exact moment he lifted his left arm to push his hair back, closing his eyes briefly, lifting up his chin, taking a breath through his mouth with parted lips... a pain shot through my toe and I face planted onto the ground with a hoarse cry. 

I sat up, spitting out dirt and leaves from my mouth. Mekhi was doubled over with laughter. I heard Ash asking from ahead if I was okay, and Mekhi replied that indeed I was (I wasn't) and told them they can stop for a rest while he took care of me and wait for us to catch up. 

I groaned unhappily wiping at my eyes and consequently pushing the dirt into my eyes and causing a lot more pain. I squeezed my eyes shut tight, and felt tears build up as a reaction to the irritant. 

"Here, do you need a hand?" Mekhi asked, no longer laughing at me, but ignored my head shake. I heard him squat down in front of me, and he held one side of my face with his left hand. With the other he gently wiped away the dirt from around my eye, and then he literally had to put his thumb on my lower eyelid bit to wipe away more dirt which really hurt. 

"Ow." I whined, pulling at his arm. "Stop." I tried to open my eyes but it just stung more. 

"Isaak you fell right next to a Baneberry bush."

"Which is?"

"Poisonous." A wave of fear swept through my chest. "Well, it expels poison so no other plants grow around it. It won't kill you, but it will make you sick and I'm pretty sure it isn't good for your eyes. Hang on." 

I decided to listen to him since he probably knew more than I did. I heard swishing like a water bottle, and then his hand half gently half roughly grabbed my chin and forced my head up. 

"Open your eyes."

I tried but it really, really hurt. "I can't."

He sighed, and then he literally pried my eyelid open, and poured water into it. 

I seriously don't know how he did it but he managed to keep my open, keep my head up and pour water onto my eye at the same time. He quickly cleaned my other eye and then let me cough and splutter a little, seeing as water got up my nose and in my mouth. I finally opened my eyes and it was only then did I notice our proximity. And how much he had just touched me. And how nice he had just been. I didn't even realize I was gaping at him until he gave me a funny look. 

"What?" He asked, and then reached up to brush my wet fringe out of my eyes, and what I assumed was more dirt off my cheek. But his hand didn't move. Well, it did, but not off my skin. It moved behind my head and into my hair. "Isaak?" 

"I dunno I just didn't expect to see this kind side to you... oh my god what are you Mekhi this is really weird you've seriously got issues but so do I considering I'm totally falling for you anyway anger and violence issues and all." 

There are times where I wish I could duct tape my mouth shut and promptly melt into the ground. Times like these. Where I loose my brain to mouth filter. 

"Is that a complimentary insult?" Mekhi asked, clearly confused. "Hang on, did you just say you were falling for me?!" 

I shook my head violently, sending little drops of water from my hair and onto Mekhi's slightly shocked and very confused face. "Nope. I did not. Why would I say that?" 

Mekhi obviously trusted his ears more than my words. He grinned. "You're funny, Isaak."

Oh no. Please no. Don't reject me like this. Don't go down the 'aww you cute little baby with an innocent little newbie crush' path... 

The last thing I expected was his lips suddenly on mine. But that's what happened. Mekhi, with his hand that was still on the back of my head, pulled my forward and literally smashed my unexpected mouth against his, causing a strange noise of surprise from me. A strong wave of dizziness hit me as his mouth moved against mine.

And then as quickly as he came he was gone. He stood up, ran a hand through his hair, cleared his throat and went back to looking moody af. He offered me his hand and I just sat there dumbstruck. "Isaak. Stand up."

"Oh." I grabbed his hand and he pulled me up with a little too much force, causing me to crash into him and hang on to him for balance. He grabbed me and held me back at arm's length. I still felt dizzy. And hot. Very, very hot and bothered. For a second he stared at my flustered self as I shuffled a little and looked at my feet. 

Mekhi cleared his throat again. "Hurry up." he deadpanned, turning to catch up with Archer and Ash who apparently hadn't seen any of what just happened seeing as they were hidden by a few trees. I half jogged to catch up, and when I did, Archer and Ash were getting up to go as well. 

I was out of breath, flustered, dizzy and my eyes still hurt.

"Hang on, guys, could we stay a bit? I don't feel to good."

Hey guys here are some name facts, I swear I didn't even know this until now:

Isaak means: He will laugh/laughter 
Ash means: Ash tree or happy
Archer means: Bowman (wow what a surprise haha)
Mekhi means: He who is like god (I laughed so hard when I saw this!!!)  

Anyway, again my apologies for the late update, I hope you enjoyed this!!

Also, if this doesn't really sound like Isaak, can you please let me know? It's been a while since I've written Isaak and I think I've lost his voice...
