10. Go for it

1008 Words
Wow...I totally didn't see that coming... I blankly stared at the three of them, utterly dumbstruck for a couple of moments, not really knowing what to say or do. I actually almost even forgot why I came here in the first place... "Blake?" Luc's voice suddenly pulled me out of my daze,noticing the faint hint of concern plastered on his features. "Hmm?" I mumbled, this time focusing solely on him. "Are you ok?" He asked, taking a step closer, gently brushing his fingers against my arm. "Yeah, sure. I'm fine,” I nodded, giving him a reassuring smile, then averted my gaze back to his siblings, Azrael, who was still intensely staring at me, that deep frown never leaving his beautiful features,seeming like he was trying to somehow figure me out while the other guy,Raphael, was busy scanning me up and down from head to toe, seemingly searching for any flaws. "Okay, enough with the-" "Blake!" Shit! Luc was abruptly cut off mid-sentence by my brother's angered tone, the sound of my name being called making me automatically turn around,noticing him and Leila standing in the doorway. "What are you doing here? I thought I made myself pretty clear when I told you not to leave the house by yourself!" He bellowed,throwing his hands in the air, making Leila and I both flinch, but in the very next moment Luc suddenly took a step forward, positioning himself in front of me in a protective stance, facing Rick. "Rick, relax my friend, you know she is perfectly safe here,” He then offered, his tone so soothing and calm "I know that, Lucifer, but that's not the point! She drove up 'till here, all by herself! What if someone saw her and followed her? She wouldn't even manage to get to your door!" He yelled, anger and frustration rolling off him in waves. "Yes, I understand that, but as you can see, she is perfectly fine, so why don't we forget about this minor incident and settle for dinner?" He suggested in that same peaceful tone, seemingly having a some kind of effect on Rick, the frown creasing his features now slowly diminishing. "You could also introduce me to your beautiful girlfriend,”Luc then commented, this time with a slightly playful tone and I quickly averted my gaze back to Leila, noticing the faint blush blooming in her barely tanned cheeks. "She's not my-" Before my brother could finish his sentence, Luc suddenly interrupted him, however with a hint of amusement laced in his tone,"Ok, ok, I get it. No need to get defensive." "Wha-" Once again, Rick's sentence was quickly left hanging in the air when Luc suddenly turned around, his attention now directed towards his siblings who were watching us this whole time, like at a TV show. "I would now like to introduce you to my dear brothers,Azrael," He briefly motioned towards the creepy officer,"and Raphael,” He then motioned towards the other, good-looking guy. ** After things settled down and introductions were made, Leila and I excused ourselves and went together to the bathroom, already eager to talk about it. "Wow...Either their mom is extremely religious, or she actually really likes these types of names..." She commented while checking the state of her make-up in the huge, silvery framed mirror. "Yeah...I was kinda thinking the same thing...why would someone deliberately name their children after biblical creatures, like the King of Hell, or the Angel of Death?" I questioned, casually sitting on the marble sink counter with my feet dangling in the air, absently staring at the immaculate white tiled floor. "Sounds just really weird, right?" I turned my head towards her,earning a slow nod from her. "Yeah, but still, weird names or not, they're hot as fuck.All three of them." She stated, combing her black locks with her fingers. "Yeah, can't argue on that one,” I agreed, letting out a small chuckle. I then suddenly remembered the way she blushed when Luc presumed about her being my brother's girlfriend. "Speaking of, I saw that, you know?" I winked,throwing her a playful smile, earning a confused stare from her. "Saw what?" She rose one eyebrow. "You know, the way your face turned into a tomato when Luc mentioned about you being Rick's girlfriend,” I explained, smirking, noticing the faint redness returning in her cheeks. "Oh...that..." She mumbled, biting her lower lip,slowly lowering her gaze on the floor. "Hey," I inched closer to her, placing a hand on her shoulder,"You know I don't have anything against you liking my brother,” I assured her, giving her a warm smile,"And though I really can't understand what do you see at him -don't get me wrong, I know how attractive he is, I can see the way all the female population in our school looks at him every time he comes to pick me up, you know that sometimes he can be a real asshole..." I rolled my eyes, earning a chuckle from her. "But if you really like him -the psychotic deranged human being he is-then I suggest you should go for it." "Go for it?" She asked, rising on eyebrow, staring back at me through the mirror. "Yeah. Go for it. You know, flirt with him, try to tell him how you feel,” I explained. Needless to say, from the two of us I was the bold, crazier one,while she was the shy, reserved half, so it was kinda my job to advise her when it came to these kind of things. She seemed to think hard about my words for a few moments,before finally speaking again,"But what if he doesn't like me?" She asked in a small, slightly saddened tone. "Well, if he doesn't -which I highly doubt- at least you know you tried,” I smiled, giving her shoulder a light squeeze. "Now let's go back, before my brother starts to freak out again that I disappeared,” I muttered with a roll of my eyes, earning another chuckle from her.
