My Warped Love - Jacky Vincent Fan Fiction

Chapter 6 - I Curse This Taste That's On My Tongue

When Jacky was fully calm and the shock had worn away, I lead him into the lounge area steadily, hoping to show Ronnie the song we had just created. Familiar chatters came from the kitchen, bringing my attention far away from music. Slowly, I strolled towards the door, floating by the metal door frame, leaning my arm against it, letting the cold sensation tingle in my arm.

Ryan - not to be confused with Ryan Seaman -, Jack and Tom stood talking to Ronnie looking fairly amused. Ronnie leaned against the counter, swinging keys around his fore finger bringing his deep brown eyes to focus on me.

With a blush, I continued into the small kitchen area, placing myself next to Jack as all three of them trailed their sleepy eyes towards me, after all, It was only 10 am. "Natasha!" my band mates squealed happily as they crowed around me, forming the most perfect hug. A smell of aftershave filled my soul, calming my down and making me feel so safe as it always did.

"I missed you guys" I murmured in a daze, eyeing the many leather covered arms that surrounded me as a refuge. Reluctantly, I pulled out of the hug, smiling happily, trying not to flutter my long eye lashes too much.

Ryan's face turned quickly from a brilliant smile, to a confused expression full of thought and meaning, "What did we come here to tell her?" he asked as he scratched the front of his perfectly styled hair, not leaving even one flaw behind as he let his arm drop carelessly.

My three friends remained silent for a brief period of time as they filtered through their forgetful minds for the answer. Honestly, this was typical for the guys, but it made me laugh so much. It's as if you tell the guys something and they don't even absorb it. It was funny to watch anyway.

"Oh yeah..." Jack mumbled, letting his eyes wander the black and white tiled floor beneath us as he rubbed his elbow. I could tell he was feeling uneasy and awkward, "Josh is here" he whispered so quietly that it sounded more like a muffled breath as he folded his arms nervously awaiting my response.

My heart began to pump viciously, I wanted to be as far away from him as I possibly could. "What." I blurted, almost spitting out the cold ice water that I sipped gradually feeling the hot anger well up inside. I could feel my whole body trembling, causing the freezing cold glass to shake in my hand. The small cubes of ice clinked together making an unsteady beat as I tried so hard to calm myself down.

"What happened to you Jacky?" Ronnie cut in, trying to liven up the mood, "Cat fight?" he teased with a devilish smile as he stared at the cut that lined a small section of Jacky's pale flawless face. 

Jacky blushed embarrassedly, a curtain of red flushed his cheeks. He stroked the cut on his face with his thumb, staring at the floor timidly as he gulped down the nervousness that all the attention caused. A huge bashful smile appeared on his face as he caught my strong gaze at him, that was when I finally realised that I had been gawping at him for a while... Way to go Natasha.

Ignoring Ronnie's attempt to change the atmosphere, I still felt the burning hot rage swelter in my mind no matter how much I tried to push it away. "Oh, there's going to be a cat fight" I exaggerated, picking my leather jacket from the granite counter aggressively, trying to make my way towards the door.

"Woah, wo-woah" Tom uttered, stopping me in my tracks as he blocked the door, "Calm down first Tash... Don't let him get to you, Don't let him win" he advised, making me become numb and lose all tenseness.

A smile appeared on my face at his support as I cooled myself down, sipping one last gulp of ice water, letting it tingle on my tongue and freeze against my teeth. "You're right" I stated as soon  as the brain freeze allowed me to speak, "Can you guys come with me?" I asked innocently, hoping for them all to agree.
