The Bad One or The Nerd One

Episode 6

Jax's P.O.V.

I tried my best to follow her through her own house. It was very hard. I had to keep stopping and strain my ears to hear the sound of footsteps over the adults talking. All the time I was walking after her I could hear someone behind me, following and staying in the shadows. It must be her boyfriend. I think his name was Zac. He must really not trust her if he is having to follow us to make sure. He seemed to really not like me as he had been staring at me the whole time I have been in this house but he also looks surprisingly familiar and I will find out why. I was brought out of my own world when I saw the angel sitting in the corner of the room overlooking the pool. In the sliding glass doors I could make out her face and she looked like she had been crying. 

She seemed to sense my presence as she lifted her head and wiped her eyes before looking me directly in the eyes. Even in her reflection, her eyes seemed to glisten like the clearest ocean. I could feel my breath leave my body as I looked back at her. She seemed to look so innocent yet experienced in the world. Her makeup was tear-streaked and I could tell this was not the first time she had cried today. The thought of her being in pain made my heartache. 'No, I shouldn't feel like this' I scolded myself. I was the coldest bad boy in my old town and I was not going to drop it for one failed target. When I came out of my head I looked back at her to see her wide eyes staring right behind me. I knew immediately that her boyfriend was there and he was most likely pissed. 

I turned my head while I tightened my fist to be ready to punch him. What I did not expect was to see him staring back at her with the same look. They seemed to be having a conversation in their heads to each other. That was impressive. 'What if they are werewolves with a mind link!?' my conscious questioned while getting excited. "Impressive!" I mentally replied. I came out of my trance by angel talking.

"What are you talking about? We haven't said anything." Her voice was just as peaceful and calming as the rest of her. I swear that there is nothing wrong about her. She seems perfect in every sense. No going soft on her! "Hello! Anybody there?" I came out of yet another trance because of her to see her standing in front of me waving her hand slowly closer to my face. Before it could get any closer I grabbed her wrist and it left tingles in my hand. I had never felt that before and immediately dropped my hand to my side once more. She made no attempt to hide what impact it had on her and clear that she felt them too. 

"Kat. Come on. Your mum wants us back out there." Her boyfriend said to her while starting to pull her away. He was protective of her. 

"Sure. Tell mum I went to get cleaned up before dinner. I don't want to look like this around people." She replied while trying to suitably nod in my direction. So she wanted to impress us. "Unless I am close to them and that is only you, mum and Uncle Cody." Not trying to impress. Remain presentable.

I watched as she left to cover her tear-stained face and wondered if I would ever have a relationship like she had with her boyfriend. I don't deserve one but I can wish for one.

I turned back to lounge following behind her boyfriend at a safe distance. The adults were still talking and I felt that I would be spending a lot more time in this house. Yet my mind kept flicking back to the tingles in my hand when I touched her. It felt pleasant as it swept up my arm and was filling my body. I didn't even know that feeling existed. Angel seemed to know what it meant and was surprised that she felt it. She must have felt it with someone before to know what it means. Or she is the little nerd of the area and reads constantly and maybe found something out in there. The curiosity of what it means got the best of me and I had to look it up. The results shocked me. It is mainly talked about in supernatural fiction stories as the mate. Your soulmate. The same sensation can be felt at a smaller degree in humans when there is love felt for the person. I hardly know her, I can't love her. It must be some stupid person trying to spread rumours to scare people. It's working though. I am scared as to the fact that I could be falling in love. I don't want to be in love with anybody. I have to find a way to touch her again to confirm that is was a one-time event.
