CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER

Avery parked along a dark street shadowed by bushy maple trees that hung low over the curb, their leaves tickling the top of my head as I climbed out of the car. Kasey and Avery had to duck beneath the branches to avoid being whacked in the face.

Once we moved past the concealing canopy of trees, I found myself peering up at what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse. It had a few lower windows that were boarded up, while graffiti littered the dented sheet metal covering the sides of the building. Most of it consisted of the usual banal tags, things like ‘Bobby was here,’ and ‘fuck the po-po,’ but one in particular caught my eye and I read it out loud. ”Down the rabbit hole.” I couldn’t keep the smirk off my face as I glanced at Kasey. “No shit. I might have to change my name to Alice.”

He grinned at me and I heard an exasperated sigh from Avery, who had been lingering a few yards away. He stood glaring impatiently at the pavement with his hands shoved in the pockets of his jeans. I couldn’t help but notice how the worn denim hugged the curves of his muscular thighs. It pissed me off that I noticed him at all and I challenged him with my eyes.

His lips tightened and I felt a quick jolt of satisfaction. He might be gorgeous, but his arrogance seemed to have no end. It made me want to screw with him as much as possible.

He glared back at me and I knew he had listened to my thoughts. The knowledge pissed me off even more and I stared right back, refusing to be the first person to look away. I can do this all day, I thought. Just keep fucking with me.

“Are we going inside or what?” he ground out between clenched teeth, glancing away to address Kasey.

That’s right, look away, you ass licking pretty boy! I crowed inwardly.

“And you,” he turned to glare at me again, “if you don’t want me in your head, stop shouting at me. Ass licking pretty boys like me can’t shut out your thoughts when you’re practically screaming at me to listen.”

I lifted my chin and rolled my eyes as I made finger quotes, “I bet you listen in on everyone whether they ‘shout’ or not.”

We glared at each other and I didn’t need to be a mind reader to know he was as unwilling to back down as I was. He took a step forward and the low hanging branches cast a heavy shadow across most of his face. Only his eyes were still exposed and, as they bore into mine, I felt something other than resentment emanating from them. It reminded me of the vision I’d had of the two of us and I flushed.

I felt like he was drawing me in for a moment and somehow I knew it came from his fascination with me. What that really meant, I didn’t know, but I knew without a doubt that he was as drawn to me as I was to Kasey.
