Magic Unbound

The cards

POV Macy

After Walking 15mins I had realized I left my purse at home. I wasn't risking going back and dealing with what just happened. I would get drilled for swearing at Michael. A long walk would do me good after all that went down on top of my weird dream.

Typical it started to rain yet again on midsummers day, the irony of it made me laugh. Finally, I got to Alex's I just let myself in. "Hey Maggie, How's your day going so far?". She had the straightest black hair with a few grey strands around the temple area. she spent too much time in the sun her skin seemed even more leathery than the last time I saw her. "Good love, Pete and I are planning another holiday to Spain soon, You and Alex should come next time". I wished I could afford it otherwise I would take her up on her offer "Yeah maybe next time Mag". I planted a kiss on her cheek almost gagging on her smoke she blew in my face "he upstairs?" she popped her head back up from the crossword. "I don't even think he is awake, go jump on the lazy kid" she gave me a cheeky smile.

Alex's room was like having someone smacked you in the face with Beyoncéposters and sage incense. I loved him to death but he sure did go overboard sometimes. I gave myself a little run-up and jumped straight on him." Jesus Christ you're a fat cow, get off you lump. I should have known I wouldn't get a sleep in. you don't even live here and you wake me up". Laughing a little and sat on the other side of the bed pulling his blanket on me." Michael's being his usual d**k self again. so I made the executive decision to come here earlier" pushing Alex further over to make room for myself. I gave a little sigh knowing if I told Alex about the dream he would either make fun of me or make me do an Ouija board. "So I had another strange dream again. He was in it again, this time he spoke to me. I got scratched by this odd-looking lady, I mean she actually scratched me". I turned my face to the side to reveal where I had the scratch. "What the hell, that's some scary s**t right their babe. O M G I just got some new tarot cards to let's try them and see who this b***h is that's messing with you babe".It kind of scares me meddling with stuff like this as I explained to my mum. "I don't want to know my future Alex it was just a dream". He giggled like I had told him a dirty joke. "You won't know your future it will just give you some guidance, plus they are new and I want to try them. So shut up you're doing it either you like it or not. I need practice if I'm going to start doing this for a job, plus I have a spiritual gift". He was so stubborn I knew I had no way out of this even if I tried. "Okay whatever but nothing too serious". he laid out the cloth so tidy. "please shuffle the cards and pick four" I did as I was told "hmm ahh" he took a long pause "what do you see Alex?" "don't rush me, I'm trying to connect with spirits and aura around you to do a better reading. Okay, I'm ready this one is The high-priestess. She is a link to your subconscious mind. which cannot be accessed through the everyday world but through dreams and symbols. It means paying attention to your dreams and your intuition. She was reversed it means hidden agendas and learn to trust yourself as your gut will always lead you right." Wow "okay so that freaked me out a lot Alex, I don't want to do anymore." His smile went wide "I told you I had a gift but no one believes me". I shook my head from side to side knowing all too well he doesn't. "Maybe it's me who has a gift I was the one who picked the card". I did need to listen to my dreams and my gut was telling me something, although I wasn't too sure what yet. I was grateful Alex didn't question it or go anymore into. I am freaked out enough "so Alex wants to go to this party later at Elsey's?" "Yeah think it will be good. Might find me some sexy man to snog, hey you might even find yourself one instead of whining over this dream man". Rolling my eyes at him knowing full well he is right. I'm not interested in finding a man. I find men attractive then they speak and the rubbish that comes out of their mouth just turns me right off them. They will say and do anything to get into your panties."Gosh, Alex men are stupid. Present company excluded of course. I want a man to sweep me off my feet and keep me grounded at the same time. I need someone to make me a better person, not just another story. I should not have to just settle. I want a man who I can rely on and he can rely on me. I want to be the best in someone and they are the best in me". I meant every word I said "Amen Macy. But you can explore yourself and other people at the same time. Your morals can still stay intact. I just want you to be able to let loose. I want everyone to see how lovable you are even if you are a freak". He just gave me the I love you look but stop being a weirdo. "If only you were not gay. I might have dated you. Smooth talker." I wasn't lying. I was not attracted to Alex but I would be happy to have him as a life companion. Alex was attractive. He was tall, with short black hair that he pushed to the side. He was not tanned like his mum but all his features were dark. "Unlike you babe, I have zero morals. I am all about fun times and hot men". I knew he would as well he always managed to pull someone hot
