Chapter 16


Btw, the music isn't really chosen for any reason, just that Im listening to it at the time I want to put a song in xDD.
Well apart from the first 3 in this story, they were intentionally put in.

Also, sorry it's been a week since my last update. Had a little writers block with the end of this one.

Anyway on with it, cause I left you on a cliffhanger. Hehehe

~------------------------~

Both of you froze at the sudden shout. Alastor pulled away from you and turned to look towards the window. As he moved away from you, you grabbed a pillow and put it in your lap. Your trousers feeling the effects of his teasing, you didn't want him to see it.

You watched him walk over to the window and look out. He leaned against the wall next to it and opened it.

"Alastor! What's taking you so long?!" The person shouted again. You heard him growl a little, obviously frustrated.

You decided to stand up, picking up the glasses, and walk over to the kitchen. You emptied out the glasses and cleaned them, trying to distract yourself. Trying to ground yourself.

"That's none of your business Vaggie!" You heard him shout back. Vaggie? The white haired lady from the commercial.

After you put the glasses away you turned to him, leaning on the counter. The island blocking the view of your bottom half. You watched him convers with her throught your window. The effects of your previous experience fading away, you now well aware of what was going on.

"Alastor." You spoke up, crossing your arms across your chest. He growled a little again and turned to you. "I think you should go." You said, sighing a little.

"No more questions my dear?" He said, walking over to the kitchen island. You heard the person outside start shouting again. "No and it seems like your needed elsewhere." You gestured towards the window.

He sucked air throught his teeth, "something wrong my dear?" He said, leaning on the counter. "Yes, everything is wrong." You said pushing off the counter and walking towards the island.

"What do you mean?" He questioned, a small smirk on his face. Seeing that made you growl a little, irritated that he'd try and pull that card.

"You know what I mean. Teasing me to get what you want. It won't work because I'll always snap out of it." You said pointing at him, your brows furrowed.

His face relaxed into it's normal smile and he let out a sigh. "I know your games, already been warned." You narrowed your eyes at him, almost daring him to try something again.

"Let me tell you something my dear." He said, fixing his tie a little. "I normally don't like that kind of stuff." He sighed and rolled his eyes. "That was new, and dare I say fun, To watch you melt like that." He gestures towards you, mostly your lower half. His words shocked you a little.

"And I'm supposed to believe you?" You leaned closer, face showing nothing but unease. Still not 100% trusting him.

"Yes, my dear. Because that's the truth. I don't see any use for such activities." You stared at him, a little shocked. You thought about it for a second. There was no way he doesn't like that kind of stuff, he was a natural at it.

You looked up at him, just to see his normal smile and a soft look behind his eyes. He really ment it???

"I still don't know if I can believe you." You said, still a little uneasy. He leaned away with a sigh, "I should get going my dear." You watched him walk over to the window and shout down at her again.

You kinda of zoned out, staring at him. Your mind a little numb and not even going anywhere.

Alastor walked back over to the counter, "Walk with me, will you?" He asked, snapping you out of wonderland.

"Uhhh, sure." You walked around the kitchen to the front door and grabbed the keys.

Alastor opened the door allowing you to walk throught, you said a small thank you.

The both of you walked back down to the cafe front in silence. Just the sounds of shoes hitting the floor, the fridge buzzing and the clock ticking.

"Well, this was an interesting meeting to say the least." You said, scratching the side of your neck. "Indeed it was." Alastor agreed, nodding slightly.

You looked up at him, to see him already looking at you. The softness still there behind his eyes. You smiled slightly at him, which made his grin even wider.

"I'll see you tomorrow My dear~" he cood, placing a hand on your cheek. This angled your head up a little more, making you look right up at him. His hand cold on your cheek, but a little comforting. He begun to lean closer to you, his eyes half lidded. You closed your eyes, leaning a little, almost wanting this to happen.

Bang bang

You jumped up and away from Alastor.  Looking towards the window to see Vaggie, and angry look on her face. You were almost greatfull she snapped you out of it.

"Alastor, let's go!" She shouted, stomping one foot like a child.

Alastor sighed, threading a hand through his hair. You watched him, as he pushed his hair back, some loose strands of hair fell. "I'll be back tomorrow my dear." He said turning away from you.

"Um yeah, see you tomorrow." You said walking over to the door and unlocking it. He nodded and walked over to the door.

"Took you long enough! What are you even doing here?" Vaggie asked, her hands on her hips. "That's my secret dear vaggitha." He pointed cheekily towards her.

You just watched the two, bicker back and forth. Well, Vaggie kept on going. Eventually they started walking away, still talking. You watched them walk away, but as you where about to close and look away, Alastor gave a little wave. It made you smile a little.

You locked the front door and lowered the curtains a little. Then made your way upstairs again. You turned to the side, where you had pinched the radio from downstairs. You turned it on, messing the the stations. Trying to find something you like the sound of.

~Next up we have: Zero gravity by Black Gryph0n, Baasik and Michelle Creber~

You left it on this station and listened to it for a while, actually enjoying it. You didn't really know this song or the people who wrote it. You vibed with it.

Deciding to clean a little, you started to wipe down the counter in the kitchen while the music played. Moving to it a little, just trying to forget what just happened.

You leaned on the island, looking towards the living room. The place looking empty. You looked to were Alastor was sat, a little divit in the sofa. The pillows all messed up, in the wrong places. 

Everything feeling a little numb. You didn't know what to do now, your mind not realing like you thought it would be. One thing for sure you felt confused about the whole situation.

Was he telling the truth about not finding that kind of stuff appealing? You wanted to know more, but not feel more because you still don't know his true intentions.

You sighed and turned to make a hot drink, just something to make you sleepy. Then you decided to plug the TV back in and sit to watch something. All you could find was adverts and porn. You left it on an advert channel, watching all the different businesses in hell.

A really catchy gingle came on:

"if you want somebody gone, call the immediate murder professionals~"

You looked at it with a brow raised. People can go up to the living world? You leaned forward, actually interested in this. If you could find a way up there you could keep an eye on your son. Yes, you trusted your parents but you also wanted to watch him grow.

This is where you wished you had a phone or some other people you could talk to about this. Maybe Alastor knew a way up there, might have to ask tomorrow. Or ask John, that seemed like the safer option.

You sighed and slowly started to drop, falling asleep on the sofa. Your eyes getting tired. Then everything went black.

~

"(Y/n)~" someone said sweetly. You groans and moved a little. "(Y/n)!" They shouted, then started shaking you. You jumped, eyes flying open but then closing due to it being extremely bright. "Stop, I'm awake!" You said trying to get away from the person.

"As you should be, me and John had to open without you." They said, you now recognised the voice to be Cece. You groaned as she let go of you. "I'm sorry, kind had a shit night." You said, rubbing your eyes.

"It doesn't look like you had a shit night." She said, you looked up at her. A big smirk on her face. You raised a brow at her, confused. "What do you mean?" You asked.

She just stood up and walked over to the window, lifting the curtain a little. You sat a little mark, looked like a radio. Your eyes went wide, mouth dropped. How dare he mark up your window like that.

"He was up here, right?" Cece asked a teasing tone in her voice. "Yes, we had a talk. I had some questions." You defended, because that's how it was in the beginning.

"Only a talk?" Cece walked around the coffee table, standing in front of the TV. You just watched her, just waiting. "That's what it was ment to be." You said, fiddling with the pillow next to you.

"I know that it went to more, have you seen your neck (y/n)?" Cece asked pointing. You looked at her confused.

That's when it dawned on you. "No, he didn't. Did he?" You said shooting up and walking over to your bathroom. Cece laughed could be heard from the living room.

You looked in the mirror to see 2 maybe 3 purple hickeys on your neck and shoulder. You touched them, wincing as they were a little tender. You sighed and looked down, a little ashamed of this.

"It's alright (y/n)" Cece said in the door way. You looked towards her, a sad expression on your face. "Did it go anywhere else?" She asked, now concerned for you.

"No, it didn't. He got cut off, thank fuck." You said, threading a hand throught your hair and gripping it. You sighed. "What do you mean by cut off?" Cece asked now standing behind you.

"Someone outside started shouting for him, a colleague I think. Her name is Vaggie." You said looking up at the mirror again, making eye contact with Cece. She just nodded. "She's from the hotel they run." Cece said, you just nodded.

"Anything else happen?" She asked, walking closer now leaning on the sink counter. "Hmm, we almost kissed but got interrupted again by Vaggie." You said, sighing again. Cece just hummed, thinking.

"It feels like there's a magnet, Cece. Something drawing me to him and I can't get rid of it." You said, feeling very vulnerable right now. "Maybe that's your Souls. Calling for eachother." Cece said, quietly. You looked up at her, confused. "Our souls, what do you mean?" You raised a brow at her.

"There's soul mates down here, you know. Where two souls are ment to be together. But sometimes only one feels it towards another..." She slowed towards the end of her sentence.

"You know what that feels like, Cece. Don't you?" You asked, turning to her. She just nodded, "Burst's the one I feel it with, but he obviously doesn't feel it with me." She said, a sad tone in her voice. You placed a hand on her shoulder. "But I've learned to deal with it." Cece looked up at you, a small smile on her face.

KNOCK KNOCK

You jumped slightly at the sudden loud noice. "I'll go get it, you try and cover that up." Cece said, you nodded and said a small thank you.

She walked out the bathroom closing the door behind her. You turned back towards the mirror looking at the hickeys, wondering if you could use your healing powers on them.

You lifted a hand to your neck and closed your eyes, willing the feeling to your hands. It felt tingly, almost ticklish. You slowly opened your eyes to see what was happening, only to see them slowly disappear. You moved your hand away to inspect.

The hickeys, gone. No trace of them. You laughed lightly, not expecting it to work. You ran a hand over where they once were, no pain, no nothing. Just plain skin.

A small knock came from the door behind you. "(Y/n), you alright dear?" You heard, it was Sally. You smiled and opened the door. "I'm good Sally, what brings you here?" You asked walking out and over to your bedroom.

"I'm here to take you shopping!" She explained. You looked at her confused, why would you need to go shopping again, you had everything you needed right now.

"What is it that you need to get sally?" You asked, openeing a draw and taking done fresh clothes out. "It's not for me dear, it's for you." She said a little too excited.

"What else could I need?" You questioned absolutely confused, looking up at her.

"A phone my dear"
