After dealing with Bryan, Blaze and I decided to pick the balcony of his house as an escape. We sat on either sides of the table and enjoyed silence. I admired the beauty of the night sky and tried to dismiss the cold breeze. while Blaze kept his eyes set on the party. He was a social butterfly and I felt a bit bad for taking him away from his world. However I desperately needed a break.

Letting my eyes drift from the scattered illuminating stars to my husband's face made me shiver. He was definitely a sight to see. His sea foam eyes looked a bit darker because of the dim lights. His expressions were relaxed and his lips had a continuous mischievous smirk plastered on them. His jaw was sharp and defined. Everything about him was defined. His dress shirt hugged his body like a second skin accentuating his abs and muscles. He was definitely a sigh to see and admire.

I still remembers how my aunts reacted seeing him ,for the very first time. I was told on several occasions that I am normal looking. I was told that some of my cousins are better looking. I was brought up to think that I will only end up with a normal looking man. My aunts were left awestruck when Blaze visited my house for the first time. Their mouths hung open and their breathes were cut short. They were amazed and I felt proud because I broke their codes.

Following Blaze's gaze, my eyes fell on a blond girl. Blaze's stare looked so intense. He looked like he exists in a momentary world with that girl alone. My eyes fell on her and she looked as if she just came out of Vogue or magazine of that kind. She was tall, thin and curvy at the right places. Her blond hair covered her exposed back ad her dress hugged her in all the correct places. It , the burgundy dress, made her the center of attention.

"You have been eye raping her for the last ten minutes." I commented as Blaze probably kept on mentally undressing the blond girl.

"It is like touching her but not really. My imagination can go wild. It is fun." he responded easily still keeping his eyes on his goal for the night.

"You can go talk to her if you want." I offered even though it felt wrong saying such thing. Blaze's eyes shot my way widening at my words. He froze for a little moment then shook his head as if clearing it.

"We have a facade to keep." He warned going serious all of a sudden

"You can pass her your number somehow if you want." I offered again hating my own echoing voice

"I won't. My parents have eyes everywhere and I won't risk getting caught." He denied again

"Okay, as you wish. Just keep on ogling her from a far." I mocked and Blaze chuckled

" I can teach you to undress people in your mind." Blaze offered with a childish grin and I couldn't help but laugh. We must sound so twisted to anyone else. A couple persuading each other to enjoy other people on sexual levels.

"Pick the hottest person here." Blaze dared and I did my best to ignore his gaze. The answer that popped in my mind made me blush deeply. I wanted to tell him that he is the hottest but that would end up making stuff awkward.

"Bryan, I guess. He might be a snob but he looks great" I lied and hardly shifted my gaze away from Blaze's burning one.

"Pick anyone else." Blaze ordered and his tone sounded gruff and weird. His eyes hardened and his playful smile was far gone.

"All guys ,here, are old or grumpy. He looks like the only young, hot, fun guy around." I tried to explain my pick and saw Blaze's hands clenching and his knuckle becoming white.

"Imagine that you too are in a room alone....Just look at him and let your mind go wild...Imagine that there are no social codes. You two are free to do all that your hearts please....His hand would lightly stroke your blushing cheeks. He would gather you in his hands and hungrily kiss you senseless...He would drop you on his bed and would explore your body inch by inch...You too will do the same ..." Blaze described and I couldn't do such a thing. I couldn't imagine Bryan holding me or kissing me senseless. I had no rush of lust or hunger towards Bryan. I was just focused on Blaze and how he spoke each sentence sounding angrier and louder. I was about to stop him but my phone ringed cutting such tense atmosphere.

"Hey, superman." I saluted Luca trying to sound as happy as always even though images of Blaze kissing me started to invade my mind.

"How are you doing baby girl? Are you okay out there in his world?" He asked and I could imagine him smiling

"I am okay, sitting away from the crowd for the moment." I informed smiling at how sweet Luca is.

"Are you alone?" he sounded a bit alarmed proving how protective of me he can get

"Nope, Blaze is with me. He is teaching me how to mentally undress people." I said laughing and sticking my tongue out at Blaze who looked shocked and started to shake his head knowing that Luca will get angry. Luca nearly choked hearing my words.

"Pass him the phone will you?" Luca demanded and I laughed loudly

"He wants to talk to you." I said batting my eyelashes innocently at Blaze who huffed and refused to take the phone

"We are just having fun...She agreed...You are not her parent...She is old enough...You sound like a grandpa..." Blaze replied after a minute then he took the phone away from his ear and looked at it amazed. "He is uptight." He noted referring to Luca

"He is just careful when it comes to me. He has been there through thick and thin with me and knows what happens when I get depressed. If my guardian angel ever took the shape of a man it will be Luca for sure." I informed defending Luca as always

"And you say that you are not in love with him? I never heard a girl speak about any guy like that without falling in love with him already." Blaze said with a static tone not giving any feelings at all.

"I am not in love with him but I do love him a lot...Maybe at certain points I had a crush on him but neither one of us tried to ruin the friendship and start something more serious. The flame died as the years passed, I guess. We are just best friends now but we truly do love each other deeply." I confessed my feelings for Luca for the first time out loud. I don't know why but I felt like I can trust Blaze.

"So you don't want to undress him not even mentally ?" Blaze dared as his eyes focused on my face as if looking for any signs of lies

"I have seen him half naked" I informed remembering the travelling days when Luca and I had to share a bathroom in a small house.

"And?" Blaze asked and I did not know what answers were he searching for

" He looked nice. Those situations were a bit awkward but we managed to act like nothing happened." I honestly replied

"Did you ever kiss him?" Blaze said looking at me intensely

"Our friends believed in something more in us and made us kiss on different truth or dare games." I confessed

"Didn't you feel the sparks?" Blaze shot again

"You are sounding cheesier by the minute" I playfully teased " and I might have enjoyed kissing him. It felt good but it was never toe curling. It was just warm, comfortable and familiar like Luca." I said remembering how careful Luca was about kissing me. He was so coy that it made me blush deeper. He is truly the sweetest.

"I still don't get how you are not in love with him." Blaze said shaking his head in denial

"I love him deeply. I fear for him. I am also protective of him. I pushed him to stay away from some of his dates because they were wrong for him. He deserves the best but I am not his best. I don't feel like getting in a relationship with him will work forever. It is just my gut feeling and I am not willing to lose him over some months of love..." I said finding a weird kind of ease in talking to Blaze

"Did you ever tell him this?" He continued with his endless questions

"He confessed his exact same feelings first. He is an over thinker and I knew that something was wrong with him. He is the only guy I kissed. One day when we heard that we were both accepted in the same school, he just ran to me and kissed me lightly on the lips. I got confused but because of the news I let it pass. He didn't though. He thought that things will get awkward so we had the talk and agreed that we work best as friends forever." I revealed smiling at my faraway memories

"You don't mind seeing him with other girls?" he inquired still doubting my feelings

"As long as the girl is nice and making him happy then no." I promised

"You have a weird life." Blaze blurted

"I fake married a player to run away from a dramatic family, so I sure do..." I added chuckling at how my life is working out

"The best player in town." Blaze declared puffing his chest making me laugh

"Yep, I picked the best player in town." I repeated making Blaze laugh

"We should go home." He offered and I felt my smile widening I truly want to leave and get this dress off of me. I want to wear my pajamas and lay around not doing anything.

"Will your parents be okay with that or will you be in trouble for leaving early? " I inquired to make sure that Blaze won't get a hard time for leaving way too soon

"I will just tell them that I wanted some time alone with my new wife." He said winking at me and dear god how fast I can blush reacting to his words.

"You are sure you don't want to give that blond your number?" I offered for the third time trying to hide my blush

"I am positive." Blaze said standing up and offering me his hand so he can lead us out "And Bryan cannot be hotter than me. Your stare told it all." Blaze hushed as he lightly pulled me closer to him making me blush harder

"You wish." I fought back a telling smile hiding my face away from him

"keeping on lying to yourself princess. Your blush is my telling evidence." He said laughing

"How modest!" I mocked pinching his forearm

"How mean!" He replied still laughing ignoring my pinch as if he never felt it.
