Aqua's pov

-

"What was that all about?" Allie whispered. Our eyes focused on the heated girl that stomped her way out the living room.

She seemed so pissed, her fists were balled tightly and her veins were visible. I wonder what seemed to be the problem, there wasn't anything happening here to be angry about.

Allie sighed and turned her attention back towards me but my eyes were still on the girl that disappeared around the corner, perhaps she went to splash some water on her face.

"What are you into Aqua?" she said, I furrowed my brows and stared at her

"What?" I questioned

"What do you like to do?" the girl asked again

"There's not much I did back at home. Women weren't allowed to take adventures, the men were the only ones allowed to leave beyond the line of our city. One time I snuck out to go to a party, but I was sadly caught. According to my father, it's no place for a woman to disobey the orders of a man. They had to stay home and do the cook-"

"Cooking and the cleaning and the washing. Yeah, I know" Allie rolled her eyes. I tilted my head as I observed her.

"Have you dealt with this before?" I questioned

"No one could dare force me to do that. They'd be dead to think I could follow the rules of a man that degrades a woman or fits them into a category of utter shit. But my mother did. Abel -my father-" she assured

"He's a control freak, so traditional. He sees women as a way of sex and comfort"

"How so?"

"He thinks women should sit still, look pr-"

"Look pretty" I gasped when I finished her sentence. Allie chuckled at me. We seemed to be finishing each others sentences as the conversation went on

"I say that all the time. It's literally my sarcastic motto back home" I laughed

"Some men in this world need to be hit with a pan behind their head, I swear" she rolled her eyes

"Abel thinks the job of a woman is to cook, clean and feed parasites when they're hungry. Pop a titty in their mouth"

I furrowed my brows when she said paratises. Did she mean-

"Are you talking about babies?"

"Same thing" she rolled her eyes, I laughed

"I hate children too, they're sticky and disgusting" I scrunched my face in disgust, Allie's eye's lit up

"Right? Some people think they're cute. I mean... They are... But they're not so cute when they're shitting all over your leg and crying all day that it literally damaged your eardrums" she groaned

"Right?! They're cute when they're calm but most days it's not that adorable when they vomit all over your body in the middle of a meeting" I laughed

"That's why I'll adopt a kid when they're 13" I smiled

"Exactly! Oh my God" she giggled

"I'll get a 15 year old, then we could play video games all day" she said

In the corner of my eyes I see Beverly, she leaned her frame against the door entrance and she glared at us. Her mouth moved fast as she muttered something to herself.

"Hello Beverly, nice of you to join us again" Allie smirked

"Sorry. I had to do something" she muttered as she approached us. Beverly sunk back into the chair she previously sat on and pulled her phone to her chest

My eyes flickered over her body, her brows were furrowed and a vein was visible on her forehead. Perhaps she was in a deep thought of something. She rapidly tapped the heel of her feet against the floor as she grinded her teeth against each other.

"So how did you two meet?" Allie asked

"Beach" she muttered, I furrowed my brows at her

"How long now?"

"A week" she muttered again

"Okay..... Where do you live Aqua?" Allie chuckled

"I-"

"She's staying here for a few weeks" Bev assured

"Oh- do your parents know about this?"

"No, so go ahead and hold it against me. I don't care" Beverly spat

"You're still on about that?" Allie asked, I could sense the anger in her voice. I looked between the two cousins as the tension in the room grew thicker

"How can I not be?!"

"You really wanna start this bullshit right now?"

"Bring it, what are you gonna do? Hit me and get arrested again?!" Bev scoffed

"Run" Allie growled as she launched forward to Beverly. My eyes grew wide as I leaped towards Allie.

I held her waist tightly as I tried to pull her away from Beverly. To my surprise, the smaller girl looked unphased, she sat in the chair and didn't bat an eyelash to the red hair girl.

"You act all sweet but we both know you have demons in your closet" Allie hissed

She shoved her arms from me and broke from my embrace. I wonder what she meant by that?

Allie stood before her cousin, her eyes were burning holes into her head. I rolled my eyes and went back to my seat, if they wanna kill each other. Fine by me, just leave a can of Sarine out before they die.

Allie huffed and went away, to what I assume was her room.

I turned to face Beverly who's clenched jaw was now released as she brought the back of her hand to her eyes and wiped a tear

"Are you okay?" I questioned

"I'm fine" she gritted through her teeth

"Bev... It's okay to talk to me you know?" I whispered, she stayed silent and gripped her phone tighter

I sighed and stood to my feet, I made my way towards her. Beverly glanced at me before returning to her phone.

I smiled and leaned down, my arms scooped her up and I pulled her onto my chest. She squealed when she was tossed in the air. I knew her tense demeanor was now released and a smile appeared on her lips. Perfect.

"What are y-You doing" she giggled

"You're ignoring me so..." I smiled innocently, she wrapped her arms around my neck as I held her bridal style

I sat into her seat with her on my lap, her feet hung over the arm chair and her arms were still wrapped around my neck. The electric charge flowed through my veins slightly, my eyes locked with her and I smiled widely. My fingers ran over her soft skin, she closed her eyes and sucked in a breath. I knew she was feeling this weird electric sensation too.

It seemed to happen everytime we touched, sometimes it wasn't as intense but on other days, it was crazy.

A few days ago, she was casually walking while her eyes were focused on her phone. Her toes stubbed the table and she fell forward. Luckily I was right next to her and I caught her.

The electric charge flowed through my veins, pulling goosebumps onto my skin the second our fleshes touched. It was too intense that it shocked me, my arms went weak and she slipped from my embrace, landing on the floor.

It happened to fast, I couldn't use my powers to stop her fall in time. But I knew she felt the sensation too since she stared at me in disbelief. The stinging pain in her toe was overpowered by the feeling coursing through her veins. We stood there panting for breath and staring into each other's eyes.

That day was the most intense.

"You're so ridiculous" she chuckled

"A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do" I laughed, Bev threw her head back as a laugh escaped her throat

"Wanna talk about it?" I asked, Bev turned her attention back towards me as she bit her lips nervously

"No. Not really" she mumbled, I nodded in response

"That's okay, I won't push it" I whispered

"You're light as a baby"

"I am NOT"

"Yeah you are" I giggled

"And you're really short too"

"Oh fuck you"

"If you want to" I smirked, a blush crept onto cheek as she tried to glare at me

"Dumbass" she groaned

"That I may be" I chuckled

She sighed laid her head in the crook of my neck. I furrowed my brows at the new affection. A heat spread through my entire body when she wrapped her arms tighter around my neck, I noticed her heart was beating rapidly, going in chime with mine.

I wrapped my arms around her body and held her close. I closed my eyes and inhaled her scent. It was nothing but peace, our bodies pressed against each other and the enjoyment of the moment.

Yeah it's only been a week, but I was starting to truly feel something for this girl. I'm not sure what it was, hell I've never been with anyone before to know what exactly I was feeling.

But what I was sure about was, I'm really really starting to like this girl.
