Chapter 6
I fell in love with the way you touched me without using your hands.

Burgers, Carnival and Ice-Cream
Destiny
Sighing with my face in my palms, dropping on the bed with a huff of frustration. That's all I've been up to for the past two weeks. Now, it's another weekend and just my luck; I'm stuck at home, grounded because of the little incident on my first day of school. Tsk. If only that Banshee had kept her mouth shut, I wouldn't be stuck in this mess. I would be outdoors, doing something fun with Luca.
Chuckling a bit by the thought. Having Luca as a friend is so worth the punishment. He's been there for me ever since the start of school, but not today. He said his brother, Brandon, and his best friend, Tyler, will be up to shit. Sighing, yet again, that I'm missing out. I've met Brandon before. He is a total hottie if I must say so myself. With his lean yet muscular body that was clad in leather, along with his dark silky black hair that was disheveled as his light blue eyes, much similar to Luca's, glimmered in mischief along with a bit of a bad boy aura, to add the cherry on top—but he's not my cup of tea.
Aunt Cammy has been great also, I must admit; having no idea I would welcome her so quickly—her aura reminds me so much like mom and Grandma Sara's. I just had to hug her the way I did. Meeting her and the alpha she served got a bit overwhelming. I thought I would crack, but they feel at home and I haven't felt that in five years, even with Grandma Sara and Arturo.
I miss them.
Luca's family is cool too. Even the Greyson's, but I'm yet to meet the mysterious Tyler Greyson Jnr. I've talked and met all of the Silverstone. Well, Graham's I should say since Cammy's married. Their daughter, Jenny, is slowly becoming a great friend as well.
In the witch world, females keep the family name in order to preserve the bloodline. Hence why Jenny's still a Silverstone. I'm slowly warming up to people. I thought to myself, my mom always feared I'd end up alone with Demon by my side.
But, can I really blame her? I mean, I'm different from everyone else. My thoughts get interrupted when I feel the vibration of my phone under the pillow. Thank God Blue snuck it in while Martha was busy at the stove again, cooking.
“Destiny. Get dress. We're like five minutes away from the Inn.” Luca, oh so nicely, ordered me before I could even greet him. Then hanging up before saying a quick "dress casual". The nerve. Who the hell are we? Ugh, that dork. Two minutes later, my phone pings signaling a message.
Luca: We're outside, a block away. Hurry up and make your move before Martha notices Tj's car.
With that, I hurriedly brush my teeth, style my hair in a messy ponytail before dragging on random pieces of clothing. Which includes ripped jeans, a mini white crop top, and my plaid shirt from Monday's attire tied around my waist and a pair of strapped up heels.
Once finished, I start to sneak my way out—the bedroom window to the left corner of the room being the best option. Opening it up, I barely had to use my levitation powers in getting down, landing on my feet. Brushing off the nonexisting dirt from my shoulder, I sauntered my way towards flashing headlights.
Once I reached, what greets me, puts me in a trance. Holy shit, it's a deep silver Koenigsegg Agera R. And damn, the view is such a turn on right now.
The car horn blares, knocking me from my trance and I hurriedly open the door, sliding inside. Immediately, Luca's death-grip hug assaults me.
"I said to dress casually. Not like, ugh. Couldn't you've like, I don't know, put something better together than what you're wearing," Luca scolds and I frown?
What the hell is wrong with my outfit.
"Bitch. This is what five minutes dressing looks like. So take it and deal with it," I grumble. Does it look like I took the time to dress up?
Hearing laughter in the front I suddenly remember that we're not alone. "Oh, hey, Brandon," I chuckle.
"Hey, cutie.” Brandon greets from the passenger's seat. “This is my best friend, Tyler Greyson. Tj for short, seeing as he's the junior between him and his dad." He added.
I hear a soft chuckle and then a deep, sexy voice. "Hi, Destiny. It's great to finally meet you," he says, briefly glancing around with a smile.
Oh, ancestors, I think my panty just got wet for the first time. Damn, his voice is so sexy, deep, smooth and alluring. So busy gawking, I didn't even notice the car has started, and we're moving.
"Yea... You too," I embarrassingly reply.
Like what the hell was that? I thought.
Back in Barbican, there were guys who wished to be with me, but I never gave them the time of day. Not even Miguel, who's the definition of what your partner should be despite his arrogance. Yet, here I am, getting wet from a voice I've just met.
"We're here," an amuse Luca states and I glare at the little shit.
Looking out the window to see where ‘here’ is. I peer out and I'm instantly in love.
"Oh my God. I'm in love," I voice out my thoughts, getting out of the car ungracefully. Brandon snickers along with Luca. Don't they know I love burgers and here we are, at Juicy Burgers? They have about everything you can ask for here. I just love it!
I turn to glare at them, but Jesus living christ now that Tyler's out of the car, I can study his features more clearly. He's about 6'4 much to my dwarf displeasure. Has beautiful green eyes, luscious full and inviting lips, broad shoulders, and brownish hair that I want to run my fingers through. He's got a light bronze-ish smooth looking skin and his white dress shirt clings to his sexy body so tightly, I'm almost drooling at his muscles.
Discreetly as I can, I swipe my hand across my mouth just to check if I'm actually drooling. Ugh, I just want him to have his wicked way with me here and now. Wait, wait, wait! What the heck Destiny Hawthorne! Where did that come from?
Why am I affected by him so much? Besides his physique, his essence is literally driving my senses wild and it feels as if I'm familiar with it. Trying to get my hormonal ass together, while letting the guys lead the way towards our designated area. The moment we step inside, eyes were on us, more specifically me. Seeing as I'm dress out of place. Not that I give a damn.
Taking our seats in the far back, which is the best spot in my opinion. You can see the outside and entrance from this angle. I've never been to a burger place like this, it's almost like a five-star restaurant. Making myself comfortable with the menu, my eyes scan the contents with a groan. Jesus, I'm in burger heaven. There's tons of different type of burgers to choose from.
"Down girl. Remember the menu is not the food." Tyler says with a chuckle.
Forcing a small smile, I try to squeeze my bouncing legs together. I can't help it, this sexy beast's voice does things to me and we've only just met; can't make it too easy for him. Luca snickers which cause me to elbow him in the gut, and he grunts.
Prick.
"Hi, welcome to Juicy Burgers. My name is Alexis and I'll be your waitress," a perky, yet familiar voice states. I look up and sure enough, it's the cheery girl that had greeted me in class on the first day. I smile in greeting and she all, but beams. We place our orders and Tyler opens his sexy mouth again.
"So Destiny. How do you like Rosewood, thus far?" He asked.
"It's been great! Finally feels like home," I replied, whispering the last part only for our food to arrive just in time and my stomach turns in delight. Thank goodness, I seriously didn't want to start crying.
This baby looks so divine. I thought, licking my lips. Taking a huge bite into my honey pepper glazed burger, a moan slips out of my mouth and I swear I also heard a groan in return, but not sure from whom.
"Oh my God, I think my taste buds just had multiple orgasms," I blurt out. Tyler begins to choke lightly and Brandon is trying hard not to laugh. What's so funny?
“Goddess. Does anything filtered ever leaves your mouth," Luca mumbles and I childishly stick my tongue out. The guys all burst into a fit of laughter.
"Okay, where to now?" I enquired once the guys paid and we start heading towards the car. All I got is "it's a surprise". Ugh, I hate surprises.
*******
Pouting all the way there. But within thirty minutes later, my face lights up at the flashy lights. A carnival!!
"I guess you like the surprise," Brandon states. I just attach myself to him with a hug once we got out of the car.
I haven't been to a carnival in five years. Oh, my God. I so want a stuffed panda. I thought, but I'm too busy dragging the guys along with me to all my favorite rides. Especially Tyler. My hands fit so perfectly with his. When I first touched him, I thought he'd pull away. But he didn't. If anything, he gripped my hand firmly, sending a bolt of familiar lightning throughout my entire body.
I wonder if he's got someone. A growl almost slips out of my mouth with that thought. He's mine damn it!
We ended up having a blast after two hours of nonstop fun, but we start to head back to the car sadly. Tyler left a few moments before telling us to meet him there. "Thank you guys so much. I had an awesome time," I squeal. They chuckle as they watch me in amusement. On the way back, I'm suddenly in the mood for something sugary. "Hey. Could we get ice cream," I demand more than asking. Everyone snickers but nods their head. Ugh, jerks.
"Heaven," I moan breathlessly after licking my double chocolate chip ice cream.
"I swear. You're like a walking sex magnetic. Stop making sexual noises. Ugh," Luca grumbles making me pout. He just ruined my ice cream awestruck moment.
Asshole!
We finish up, wiped our hands then shuffled back inside the car. I'm barely inside when my eyes started weighing a ton.
******
“Destiny,” I'm shaken gently.
“A few more minutes Auntie,” I mumbled too lazy to get out of my comfortable position.
“Come on baby girl, I don't want you getting into trouble with your aunt and uncle.” the voice reasoned.
“Fine!” I huffed, ready to throw a tantrum like a child. However, when I open my eyes, green ones are already staring at me with concern. Peeking around, I realized I'm the only one in the car, besides Tyler.
“You fell asleep, and I didn't want to wake you up. So I dropped off Brandon and Luca first,” he explained.
“Oh, I'm sorry I put you out of your way.” I apologized
Waving me off. “It's no problem. Come on, let me walk you back.” He retorts.
Tyler walks me to the entrance. That's right, he's not aware I sneaked out through the window since I met them around the front.
"Here," he says softly but almost shy. Handing me a panda bear. I squeal again attacking him in a big hug and on impulse, I peck him lightly on the cheek, which gives my lips electric tingling. Damn! His skin feels so soft.
"Thank you! Thank you! I love it, Ty. Thanks." He gives me one of his panty-dropping smiles and I'm left standing there wanting to jump his bones. Ugh. He'll be the death of me.
“I'll see you around,” Tyler said, stuffing his hands inside his pants pocket, walking away.
Oh, you will.
I snuck back inside through the front this time, up the stairs to my room, and quickly took a shower. After showering, I kiss Demon goodnight, jump in bed, and get comfortable to fall asleep. It was an epic night from the food to the carnival and the ice cream.
Smiling stupefied to myself, I cuddle up to my panda, wishing it was Tyler Greyson; the man who has lit a fire inside of me.
