Chapter 13

Aura

“Maxx, stop! You win! I was lying about not being ticklish!” I chuckle, pushing Maxx’s hands away from my waist as he tickles me on the cloud. He chuckles, rolling onto his back at my side as I turn my head to look at him. His black hair covers his eyes a little, much in need of a little hair cut but somehow, I think I like it this way. It makes him less scary, softer. I reach over pushing the soft strands away with the tips of my fingers.

“Tell me something random. Something not many people know about Aura Scott,” Maxx asks, staring at me like I’m the centre of the universe or something. The way he looks at me in these last few days, well they make me forget how bad it is when I am awake.

“Will you tell me something in return?” I counter. If he wants me to share secrets, I want one back at least. Only seems fair.

“Yes, freckles,” he says, reaching over and taking my hand, linking our fingers as I think of something to tell Maxx. I’m quite for a while, not sure what to tell him until something suddenly comes into my mind.

“When I was a kid, I asked my dad where babies came from. He went bright red and told me you bought them on Ebay. I literally believed that until I was twelve…” I confess, and he laughs, just like I thought he would. I was more embarrassed when sex education class at school told me the truth and I hadn’t got a clue what they were talking about. It was a shocking learning experience to say the least. When I questioned my dad about it, he could only grumble about how it was my mums’ job to tell me the truth.

“That is a good one. Okay, my turn…” he drifts off, staring into my eyes for a moment but it is clear his mind is thinking of something to tell me.

“When I first met you, I didn’t want to leave. Even though I had healed you and you were okay, the police were on their way…I could barely drag myself away. When you came to the village, being away from you actually began to hurt. I acted out, got jealous of you talking to any guy and overall acted like an idiot, but it was because of damn enchanting you are. People had warned me what it was like to meet the other half of your soul, but nothing could have prepared me for meeting you,” he tells me, making me feel like I can’t breathe. Sometimes he could be a right asshole, and he certainly has been in the past, but I understand his reasoning for being one. He thought us being together would only put me in danger and get me killed. Now that we are both powerless, there is no point either of us trying to push each other away for safety. We are better together.
