Elements

7. movie night

We walk out and Jesse runs over to Aaron and lays down on the couch beside him and I watch as he lifts his arm up around her side as we now watch what ever discovery channel video Aaron has on.

A half hour or so later the big doors open up behind me as I quickly flip around and watch as Malek walks out of the room, clean this time but now has bruises on his torso along his ribs?

I watch as he continues walking back to his room before slamming the door shut? I sit back down Into the couch and look across to Jesse and Aaron and they are already back to watching the tv.

"Where are you from Jesse" I say curious

"London" she smiles. "Lived their with my parents and sister before.. "

"They kidnapped you from London and brought you back here?" I say confused.? Are we still in America?

"Yeah and they took him out of Brisbane" she says nodding to Aaron. Guess I was lucky I didn't have to sit through a long plane ride? Lucky is the wrong word I suppose

"There has to be a better way to conduct this operation" I say rolling my eyes and Aaron nods in agreement

A while passes when Malek finally reappears and sits down beside me on the couch without a word but he has a white shirt on? He never wears a shirt, I mean wasn't complaining. It will be a lot easier to be around him now.

"Didn't know if movie night was still happening, looks like they kinda beat you up in there" Aaron says looking over at Malek

He's says nothing in response but Jesse change the channel back to Netflix as we start shuffling through movies, Aaron getting up to turn out the lights.

It's her night to pick and she chose The hangover. We all settle in and start watching and for a while I'm able to escape my reality. About half way though I started to get cold and got up and grabbed a blanket before laying back down on my side with my head propped up so I could still see the screen.

I find myself resting my feet up against his leg as he's radiating heat, I'm assuming because of his element. Not to long after I then feel him rest his hand down against my foot from on top of the blanket, but he doesn't look over at me.

My feet start to warm up under his hand and I know he's doing it, it's nice actually.

Wait? Is he actually being nice to me?

And just as that thought came, it went. suddenly my feet kept getting hotter and hotter tell they start burning and I pull them away quickly. I look up at him and I can see a small smirk on the side of his mouth. Jerk.

A moment or two passes when he turns his head over then grabs my feet again and places them back in the same spot as before but I quickly try to pull away but he grips me and I can't. He looks back at the tv and continues watching while still warming up my feet now without burning them?

20 minutes or so pass when I can start to feel him move his hand up to my ankle now, continuing to warm me up. This is the nicest he's been to me since I got here.

I look over at Jesse and she's already noticed what's happening and is grinning. She then raises her eyebrows and nods slightly then smiles before looking back to the tv. What does that mean? What am I suppose to do?

I do the only thing I can think to do and slide my foot up over his thigh into his lap and at first he stopped what he was doing and looked over at me but I continued staring at the tv like nothing happened.

Moments later he rested his hand back down on my calf and ankle from on top of the blanket before slowly stroking my leg softly and warming me up again. I start to smile as my cheeks go red as he continues, how did this even happen. I guess I'm just not use to guys giving me a whole lot of attention, my guess is because I don't fit into the skinny figure most guys our age are looking for. That and my lack of going out of my way to ever assert myself into situations with guys one on one. I was always too focused on school and friends. I had even just started talking to a guy online before all this.

As the show rolled to credits Malek was up and out of the common room in seconds. Well alright then.

Jesse quickly crossed the room sitting with me on the couch as I watched him walk down the hall into his room.

"Eeeeeeee" she squeals quietly "I told you" she smiles ear to ear

"Told me what?" I say brushing it off

"You think Malek would do that shit for me? He won't even say good morning to me" Jesse says excitedly

"Did I miss something" Aaron says standing from the other couch

"No, go away" Jesse says playfully

"I'm waiting" he says as he walks past us to the hallway and into Jesse room? Well I think we all know what he's waiting for now..

"You have the power im telling you, even if u don't want any of that for my entertainment please work on him" she smiles

"Shut up" I say rolling my eyes but she smiles so big I end up cracking and grinning too making her fly forward hugging me.

"He's hot. Girl go catch a dick" she says standing from the couch. "I know I am" she says grinning before walking away back to her room. Who is this girl my god

I am not going to sleep with him, she's literally just insane. she's gone nuts in here.

I stand from the couch, folding the blanket, before walking back to the bathroom and brushing my teeth then heading back to bed. As I'm walking I slow down outside of Maleks room but I cant see anything, how has been here this long and hasn't asked for anything?

I continue back to my bed and lay there cold as I try to gather body heat under the blankets but I can't stop thinking about Malek now and I want to just punch myself in the face because I already know he's going to be a jerk to me again the next chance he gets
