CHAPTER 9 - Wings
Jovie blinked multiple times to suck in the reality. She was laying on a bed which in no way belonged to her. She was in a complete unknown room. The walls were painted with a grey and all the furnitures including the bed were white. It was quite a plain room.
She glanced at her surroundings several times to recall having any memories of the unknown place and how did she end up here.
She remembered going to her house and hiding from somebody. As soon as she remembered who that person was she heard a knock on the door.
She was in panic mode. She grabbed a nearby object and rushed inside the blanket acting to be asleep.
After sometime she heard footsteps walking closer to her. She balled her fists in fear and her already increasing heartbeat drummed in her ear.
"Bonjour. I know you're awake." She heard a voice and exactly knew whose voice it was.
She slowly opened her eye and when she saw Aidan standing there she quickly opened another eye.
Some memories rush into her head. She remembered seeing Aidan in that house too but she gasped when she remembered seeing something unusual.
She quickly looked at Aidan and examined him but there was nothing unusual with him.
Maybe it was a dream.
Aidan chuckled at her reaction. "Tu es si mignon."
She gave him a confused look. "What does that mean?"
"Nothing and that was not a dream." Aidan smiled at her.
She looked at him, horrified. "Really? Then can I see them again?"
"Oui." He smiled and started unbottoning his shirt.
Oh God! Is he serious?
She wanted to turn her face away but his perfectly toned body made her betray her morals. If not for that little bit of self control, she would be found drooling over him.
"Like what you see?" He smirked and that immediately made her look away.
Few seconds later he came and stood in front of her. Jovie's jaw dropped open when she saw massive wings attached on his back.
After two minutes of complete silence. "Are those like seriously real?" She mumbled.
"Hm." Aidan walked closer to her and turned around so that she could see his back. "Do they look fake?"
"Can I touch them?" Jovie said with a hint of excitement.
He chuckled at her reaction. "Though I wouldn't allow anyone else."
Jovie got up from her bed and walked towards him. She grasped in his magnificent wings. They arched high above his head. They were made of long and soft feathers, so thick and soft resembling a small cloud but something was strange about them. Both his wings were of different colours. One of his wings was as pure and white as the snow but another was as dark as the night. The darkness of one wing seemed to be consuming the lightness of the other wing but both his wings emitted a glow.
"They're the perfect definition of beauty!" Jovie exclaimed as she stroked the feathers of his wings.
She saw his ears turn red and could imagine him blushing.
Aidan cleared his throat. "Okay that's enough." He said pulling away from her touch. "I'll be back in sometime."
He walked out of the room just like that, leaving Jovie confused but deep inside she knew that he was just shy and that made Jovie smile.
Soon reality clouded up her mind as to what she had just seen and what had happened last night. She wanted answers now. Answers to all the unusual incidents going on and answers about Aidan's surprising presence everywhere.
After sometime, there was a knock on her door again and with that Aidan entered the room looking totally normal.
"I need answers." Jovie demanded.
Aidan raised his brow to tease her. "About what?"
"About everything that's going on." Jovie said calmly.
"Hm. And what would I get in return after that?" He smirked.
"What would you get in return?" Jovie snapped. "I was willing to give you my time but what did you do? Didn't even bother to message me where you were."
Aidan gave her an amused look. "So you just want to know where I was? Were you worried?"
"No." Jovie snapped.
It was unlike her to get angry on small things but the fact that he rejected her made her aggressive.
Jovie was about to burst into tears when Aidan said. "I am sorry. I was sick."
She quickly erased all the expressions from her face but her tear betrayed her and rolled down her cheek.
Aidan came and sat beside her and wiped her tear. "How about we meet today and I'll tell you anything you want to know?" He said feeling guilty.
Just his touch alone sent sparks to Jovie. Her heart was beating faster than usual and their closeness was not helping it either.
Jovie looked up to Aidan who was already looking at her. The way he was looking at her with guilty eyes made her almost faint.
She couldn't help but say. "Okay."
Aidan gave her a huge smile which melted her heart and made her smile back subconsciously.
She then looked at the clock on the wall. It was 4 a.m.. That's when she realised she was doomed.
What about Ethan and Lucy? They'll kill me.
Aidan noticed her sudden panic. "I have already messaged her from your phone."
She looked at him as he handed her the phone.
"How do you know my password?" Jovie asked, suspiciously.
A small blush crept up his neck.
"Stalker!" Jovie declared checking out her phone.
I am staying with Aidan tonight. (Jovie)
"You seriously sent that?" Jovie asked with wide eyes.
"What else would I say when you don't have any other friends?" He rolled his eyes.
Yeah that's true but Ethan will kill me.
Her phone started vibrating in her hand. It was Lucy's call. There were already 50 calls from her and 10 calls from Ethan.
Jovie received the phone.
"You're still awake?"
"Yeah. This guy here didn't let me sleep. He was so worried about you."
"I am fine."
I know. I told him you were busy doing your stuff and it was bad to disturb you both so late at night."
Jovie turned red after hearing what Lucy said. "It's not what you think."
"Yeah. Yeah. Now give the phone to Aidan."
Jovie handed her phone to Aidan who looked at her surprised.
"Hello."
"Just use protection. Okay? I don't want to be an aunt so soon."
Jovie was looking at Aidan, who was trying to hide his blush but failed because he was already pink.
"Give me the phone." Ethan snatched the phone from Lucy. "Do anything bad to her and I'll kill you."
And with that they ended the call. Jovie was looking at him in hope that he'd tell her about their conversation.
"Good night." And with that he just walked away.
