Super Human
Part 23
Natalie walked upstairs, threw on a sweatshirt and her favorite pair of sweat pants from Pink, and returned to Everett in the kitchen.
"Good mom?" She joked.
"Yes, thank you." Her mom smiled. Natalie giggled and took Everett's hand, walking into the hallway.
"Nice talking to you Ms. Miller!" Everett called back. Natalie led him upstairs and into her 'random room' which was the name Natalie and her dad gave it. Inside was a big couch, TV, Wii, and whatever else Natalie's mom stored there, hence the name.
Natalie fell back on the couch, pulled Everett next to her and flipped on the TV. They watched for a little while, Natalie was thinking about how to tell Everett about the party. She wanted to tell him, but she knew he would tell her not to go. She decided not to tell him. What he didn't know wouldn't worry him, right?
Unfortunately, Everett noticed her nervous habits- biting her lip and not staying still.
"You okay?" He asked, searching her face.
"Yeaaahh..why?" she said slowly, not looking at him-another habit. She just stared blankly at the screen. He didn't answer, and she still felt his eyes on her.
"What?" She asked, looking at him. She saw his eyes flicker purple quickly. She realized his eyes hadn't been purple around her for awhile, and he never knew what she was thinking.
He wouldn't let it go, and kept asking her.
"You sure?" he said, getting nervous himself.
"Uhh. sorta. No i mean yes, I'm fine." She said, she knew he wouldn't stop until she told him.
"No theres something wrong, you can tell me Nat." He said, still watching her.
"I swear I'm fine." She said giving him a reassuring smile. Everett sighed.
"Fine." He said, looking back at the screen. Natalie felt his hand moving up her back.
"What are you doing?" She said looking at him weird.
"You need to tell me." He said, not moving his eyes from the TV. Natalie felt his hand stop on her shoulder at the base of her neck.
"Please dont." She asked him. She felt him press his hand on her shoulder- some pressure point thing he knew. Natalie screamed and fell into him, laughing hysterically trying to pull his hand off of her shoulder. He was laughing too, she was too weak laughing to stop him.
"okay okay okay STOP" she laughed, "I'll tell you pleaseee stop."
Everett let go of her and let her sit up. To avoid him doing it again Natalie shifted back and told him immediately.
"Fine. I got a message from Alice today" she explained, "she sent me an invitation to her party tonight. I think I'm gonna go."
She searched his face. His eyes changed to a silver-gray color.
"Babe, we both know that's a bad idea." He warned.
"Not really, maybe she decided to lay off and wants to be friends?" She offered.
"Its not that simple." He tried to explain.
"Maybe it is. It wont hurt to go, whats the worst that can happen?" She asked. He didnt answer.
"Exactly."
