I didn't know what to do. I knew we had a connection in the past but what's going to happen now? The same thing? I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact of me gradually falling for Talon. How could I do that? It felt like my head started to spin as I tried sorting my thoughts. Oh no. He can hear my thoughts. Blaze you're so stupid! Talon skillfully moved us across the floor in graceful waltz like movements, pretending as if he can't hear me panicking. He was so close to me, and I just had this weird urge to kiss him. Did I? No. I wouldn't degrade him like that. I should just hide my sudden affections for him instead. I fought the urges to slap myself in the face for just creating more stress and drama to be on it's way. Daxton would surely kill both of us if he were to know of this.
Ugh, the thought of my disgusting pig of a companion nauseated me. I despised him. I tried to save Talon and I's lives, and we get placed in a stupid beautiful cell instead. Don't take it the wrong way, I love the way we created our cell to look like our own little apartment, but I want out of this mess. I'm the rightful heir to this entire kingdom. Wait a second. I'm the rightful heir to this entire kingdom. I can make the rules! Why have I been so stupid all this time when I could've just ordered them to let me go? God, Blaze, you're one knuckle head! "Are you done insulting yourself now?" I looked up at Talon, where his eyes shone with excitement, humor, and curiosity. "You heard all that...?" I hesitantly asked, knowing very well that he was most likely listening to every word.
"Yep," He replied and we both started to laugh. "We're weird." I said and he nodded as we continued to laugh. After a few moments the laughter died down and it was just Talon and I staring into each others eyes. As much as I wanted to pull away from his enthralling gaze I knew I couldn't. His eyes were like magic wells of color, if that made any sense. His eye color seemed to always be a different color for some reason and I'm assuming he has eyes similar to Mood Rings. As of right now they were a bright magenta-ish color. I wondered why his eyes turned different colors. Perhaps it was something from his past, like a weird chemical freak accident in Science class or something when he didn't wear safety goggles. When I was a kid I hated those stupid goggles. They always made me feel like they were going to suck my eyeballs out of my head from the suction edges.
"You get distracted quite a lot, you know that?" I heard Talon's voice behind me and I opened my eyes, not realizing I had closed them. He wrapped his arms around my waist nuzzling my neck. I felt my face heat up with embarrassment as I felt his hot breath on my skin. I wondered if he knew how much of a sudden effect he had on me. I turned around to face him not noticing how close our lips were from touching and backed away from him. I cursed myself for being so stupid as to corner myself between him and the cell wall. He stepped closer to me, his hands finding my waist once more as my breath hitched in my throat. What was he doing? "Blaze, I'm not going to lie to you," He said. I wordlessly nodded.
"I know you don't love me like you did before and that's okay, but believe me when I say a part of me wants to kiss you right now." He said and I immediately blushed. I didn't know what to say to him or how so I just decided to stay silent. For once out of all the times I've seen him, his eyes went from a bright pink to a beautiful bevy of colors, something so amazing that I've never seen before, but would spend timeless hours staring at. He smiled genuinely. I knew he heard what I was thinking. I knew it was crazy to be so attracted, so allured to someone I've spent not even a week with, but it felt as if my heart was assuring no control over my brain and for some reason I really liked it. It felt like eternity as Talon leaned in closer to me, and it made me so anxious. If we're moving so fast why is he moving so slow? Was it just all in my head or something?
Before he made his move, I idiotically decided to speak which was stupid of me because I didn't want to say something like that out loud for him to hear directly because I didn't want him to know my weaknesses and/ or strengths. "What are you waiting for?" I quietly asked and he smirked at me, but it wasn't his regular smirk. It was like his genuine smile and his flirtatious playful smirk mixed into one expression. "You to tell me to stop," He replied. I didn't understand why he thought, or even expected me to react that way. As far as I know I've never kissed a guy except for Talon and that was supposedly many many years ago. My hands dangling at my sides, I wait for something, anything to happen.
"You won't get that kind of reaction from me." I said and he looked at me scrutinizingly for a moment before resting his forehead against mine gently. "Are you sure?" He asked in reassurance, looking up to meet my eyes. I nodded. I didn't care if Daxton was watching. I was forced into the relationship with him and he's trying to kill us both anyway so why not just do what I want and live my life before it's over? Talon leaned in and pressed his lips tenderly to mine, letting them linger for a few sweet extra seconds. "I hope you're okay with that," He said a few moments after he pulled away and we both just stood there and smiled.
