Ebony's Touch

Fun And Games

I hear a knock at the door and I have butterflies in my stomach knowing who it is. I open it and in walks River.

" took you long enough." He says hugging me

" shut up you tard." I say smiling up at

" oh I'm the tard huh?" He asks, I love this playful side of him

" uhhh ya you are, I mean I'm not mad at you it's not your fault you were just born that way." I giggle as I say that.

" oh that is it you are getting it now" he sets down his bag and chases me around the couch. We keep this up for about 5 minutes until he finally catches me and we fall on the couch laughing. I don't think I have ever felt so light before if that makes sense. Its like I have no worries or any thoughts about anything else except for what's happening now.

He has my arms pinned down in his hands, but I'm not trying to escape his hold. We just sit there breathing hard. I notice his eyes avert down to my lips and mine do the same. He begins to lean in and then slowly he pecks my lips but the intensity picks up the pace quickly. I pull away earning a pout from him. I laugh and kiss his cheek.
" we have to get going for school in like 10." I say checking my phone.

" I have a surprise for you" He says getting up from the couch and making his way over to a small brown paper bag. I didn't know he bought me anything. Wow who new my boy was so thoughtful. He pulls out a frappe from Starbucks. My mouth water just looking at it.

"I got you a frappe baby. Oh and hey when is your birthday?"

" It's May 6 why? Oh and I love the frappe your so thoughtful to me." I grab him by his Nike hoodie strings and kiss him then I take a sip of my drink mmmmm this is the shit I groan with food pleasure.

" I wanna take you shopping at the mall." He says pulling me out of his Range Rover.

" you don't have to do that."

"Baby don't argue with me it's not up for debate now let's go to school." He says sternly but not in a mean way.

" gosh your such a hothead." I say

" your a hothead." He says his eyebrows going up and down and I blush

He starts the car and pulls out of the drive way. I look out the window with my hair blowing and whipping around my face. I feel a shock again when River messages his hand up and down my thy. I remind myself to ask him if the shocks are a side effect to the mate thing.

Rivers POV

Ebony looks so peaceful as she looks out the window. I question daily on how I got so lucky having a mate as perfect as her. She completes me in every way and my soul feels complete. Shit what have I become ... oh I know I'm whipped. I need to tell her about the prophecy. She doesn't realize the power she has not only over me but the physical power she wields. I feel guilty that her world as she knows it is not what she thought at all I mean for fucks sake she found out that "make believe beings" aren't so make believe quite the opposite actually. I move my hand to her thy and rub soothing motions on her skin. The physical contact makes me all warm on the inside like hot
chocolate on a winter day. One thing that I know is if anyone tries to take what's mine away from me they will suffer.

Ebony's POV

We pull into the schools parking lot and I see Amy hug an older man who must be her dad and walks into school. Seeing things as small as that just reminded me of my reality my dad is gone. He left us saying to my mom it was for our own good. He never sent any cards for my birthday not even a simple phone call asking how I've been. Not a letter in the mail with money when mom needed it the most nothing. Nothing. I don't let a tear slip but I see River looking at me with sympathetic curiosity in his gaze.

River knows my dad is not in my life but I have not indulged him on the reason why he left or should I say vanish from life. I just shake my head at him smiling like it's fine but even I know it's not I'm not going to lie to myself but I will lie to the people around me by seeming like I'm fine when sometimes I'm really not, but being around River helps my sanity.

" if you want to talk or anything know that I'm here." He says with warmth
" I know." I say because the truth is I know he would not judge me and I owe it to him to be honest even if he isnt pressuring me to know my secrets. I guess in the end of everything we all hide behind some kind of facade whether it's a smile or a neutral expression or blank stare.
