Crystal Mirrors

14-Practice

I sat across from Cole in the grass and his eyes were closed. I waited patiently but my own thoughts were wandering. After the quick conversation we had in each others minds (That still sounds so weird) he didn't bring it up again. I'm sure we've been out here for at least an hour. 

   He finally opened his eyes and looked at me. "You need to learn focus. It's the only way you'll learn how to control your telekinesis."

"Fair enough," I tilted my head the side. "How?"

"I'm not an expert on that. But what I do know is when it comes to the mind type powers you have to start from the man. Opposed to other body parts that a lot of powers root from. So think or imagine something moving or being done and then make it happen."

I looked at him like he was insane. "Anything else?"

   "Do I have to bring out the shirt to show you what you did with my buttons?"

   I blushed hard and looked away. "My goal was not to take your clothes off believe it or not."

   "Then what ever could you have been thinking of?"

   I didn't want to talk about this anymore. I wanted to focus on the task at hand. "I was angry at you." I responded. 

  He raised an eyebrow. "Sure it wasn't any of that sexual tension you've been holding up? I think I figured out your trigger but you're going to have to trust me." 

   I almost snorted but before I could he was by my side. He grabbed hold of my hands and locked me in place. I could feel his breath behind my ear. 

   "W-what are you doing?"

   "Shh, trust me. I'm here to help you."

   "If this is your way of trying to..." I couldn't focus anymore. His hands were on my waist and he was somehow warming my body. All I felt like... all I wanted to feel like was floating. I looked below me and gasped. We were in the air. 

  "Excellent." I couldn't see his face but I could tell he was grinning. Terrified I clung to him and he turned in front of me. "It's not just you doing this so don't let it go to your head. I'm using cold air to push us up. But you are doing this."

  "Gee thanks. I feel completely normal." My voice was shaking and I coughed willing it to be stronger. "How am I doing this?"

   "You tell me. You feel on cloud nine when I touch you like this?" His hand touched my neck and grazed my lower back. I felt the chills of when he first kissed me in the movie store. My emotions and mind were in two different places and yet they felt closer than ever. 

  Why was I letting him touch me? Why was I pushing him away?

   "You're body is connected to your emotions which connect to your power," He said and I felt his hands leave my neck and resume its place on my waist. "Have something to tell me Cel?"

  I suddenly remembered his words that burned in my mind and made me feel like trash. Make it look real. 

 With all my strength I turned around and pushed Cole away from me. He was still floating and so was I only somewhat higher. "Don't touch me. You don't have to teach me anything to touch me, got that?"

  His face was expressionless but he was amused. It was obvious. "You've done pretty well for a newbie. Congratulations. We can continue this later." 

   Slowly we left the air and found the ground level again. Before Cole could walk away I grabbed his arm and pulled. "Wait, that's it? You're just going to leave?"
