"Loving is like walking. It's not always fun, and you dont always want to do it, but you should be glad for the ability."-Lana Cole(Not ment to offend anyone)

It's the wanting you, never getting you

Sage’s Pov. (MAX 3 INLINE COMMENTS!)

“I didn’t come down because I wasn’t hungry,” I said a little snappy. I knew I shouldn’t take it out on Blaze, but I was angry. I crossed my arms on my chest.

“Are you mad or something?” He asked in a low voice.

“No I’m fine,” I told him avoiding his eye contact, he was so desperately trying to reach and my eyes went to the TV.

“I brought you some food anyway, you should eat. We’ll be heading home tomorrow morning.” He mumbled and I knew then, that his cold front was coming back.

“I thought that we were staying a week?” I asked making eye contact with him for the first time today.  His eyes looked duller, as if he had bad news or something. He walked away and started shoving things into his bag. I immediately got up and put a hand on his tense shoulder.

“Blaze if there’s something wrong, just tell me.” I said softly, and to be honest I was expecting his normal ‘Just drop it, Sage’ but he didn’t say it, and it shocked me.

“I have to get back to work, and I know you are annoyed with Marnie and Stacy and don’t try to lie, because I saw you when you came down to breakfast this morning. I’m having some problems with my father, and I’m stressed now can we drop it.”

I couldn’t believe it; Blaze had a heart to heart with me. Well not necessarily a heart to heart but he told me something! And that was enough. I forgot about Marnie and all I wanted to do was make him feel better. And no matter how much I liked being here, I understood that he was stressed and I wasn’t going to push him to stay. I was a little sad that I was going to miss the rest of the Festivals of Aloha, and the Food expo. But I guess it’s just an experience I can live without. Just being here was a great journey for me.

I tugged on his arms and with a sigh he complied and I pulled him to the bed. We just sat there staring at each other for a while. I smiled and pulled him into a hug. At first he did his normal tense up, but then he relaxed, let out a breath, and wrapped his arms around me.

I lost track of time and in Blaze’s arms that was easy. I felt so serene, so at peace and I honestly wish this moment could last forever. His embrace was warm and inviting and I never wanted to let go, he felt somewhat like how a blanket and hot soup felt to a sick child during the winter.

There was no knock or sound to show that Aubrey was coming in, she just bound through the door with DVDs in her hands. Blaze and I bound apart, and sat awkwardly on both edges of the golden colored bed.

“We got the best rooms in the place, so let’s go into the living room of this room and watch some movies.” Mark told us, already half way walking there. I laughed a little and got up following him.

There was another knock at the door but Blaze answered.

“Blaze-y! You ready to watch a movie!” Marnie squeaked wrapping her arms around Blaze.

Honestly Marnie just looked like a normal girl right now. She didn’t look like a whore right now. She looked like a normal girl with her brown hair pulled into a high ponytail, light makeup, athletic shorts, and a form fitting shirt. Her socks were fluffy and girly, and I’m surprised Blaze didn’t drool. Marnie was actually pretty and I have no idea why she couldn’t get Blaze.

Lana pushed her way through the two and gave me a bright smile. I returned the smile and led her into the living room, where Zac made the move to put blankets all over the floor, and fill the table with snacks and things to eat. I sat down in the corner of the couch that was placed in front of the television, but not even two minutes later I was lifted up by Blaze and placed on his lap. He intertwined our hands, and that made me look down at them and then up to his face. I made a confused face and he said nothing, he just gave me a chaste kiss on the lips and directed his attention back to the TV.

I wouldn’t question it, I just settled down into Blaze, making sure not to wiggle, because I know we would have problems again. And Blaze getting a boner in front of Aubrey, Lana, Zac, Mark would be the worst. Plus Marnie would pratically tried to rip my eyes out.

We watched over 3 movies alread and towards the middle of the movie we were watching, which was 21 Jump Street, Blaze’s arms moved from their position at his sides to around my waist. I looked over to the left of me and saw Marnie angrily biting a vanilla wafer. She got up and walked out of the room with her cell phone in hand.

I tugged at Blaze’s hand so that I could get up, and when I got out he looked at me confused. I just whispered ‘bathroom’, and he just nodded his head. Why was he being so affectionate anyway?

Then it hit me, he was trying to get Marnie off his back. Something didn’t seem right about her and the way she was acting.

I tip-toed around the corner so I could hear Marnie’s conversation, I wanted to know who she was talking to.

“No sir. I swear I’ve tried everything, he won’t budge. Of course I tried tempting! She’s either always around or he’s always touching her.” She rolled her eyes and went silent while the other person on the phone talked.

“He’s decided to come first thing tomorrow. Of course, but I—okay bye sir.” Then she hung up her phone and started to walk in my direction, and I just popped out like normal and tried to make it to the bathroom.

“You know I hate you right?” She asked as if she was telling me something new. I turned around and looked her in her brown eyes.

“I know that Marnie, and if you think I care then you must be crazy. I honestly don’t know what kind of girl still chases after a boy when he’s about to get married. To be honest it seems pathetic.” I didn’t mean to be so harsh and I really did feel bad after I said it. I was going to apologize but before I could she started to speak.

“Whatever you poor loser. Blaze and I are of higher class and we never marry down. Blaze will be mine before your wedding, I will have him in my bed and I will be his heart. I’ve known Blaze all my life, if you think you can just come here and appear out of thin air as Blaze’s fiancé and get accepted into our society you thought wrong. Ultimately Blaze will be mine, and you will be back on the street like you belong.”

Right when she finished her sentence I don’t know what went through me. I blanked and followed her in the living room. Blaze looked up at me with concerned eyes and that caused me to snap. I lunged at Marnie and started hitting her in the face.

My fist was smacking into her face making a clapping sound. I wasn’t even aware of what was happening, all I know is that Aubrey was cheering me on, Lana was yelling “Chica calmate” the fight last only about 40 seconds before Blaze pulled me away with a lock of her extension in hand. Stacy was at Marnie’s side trying to console her crying friend. Oh come on, it wasn’t like it was her real hair; it was glued not clipped in, or sewed in.

But me being me I had to apologize, I felt so bad. I didn’t mean to actually hurt her, but she made me so angry when she said I belonged on the street. And—and—and when she said Blaze would—I was caught off from my thoughts by Blaze.

“Sage, are you okay?” He asked softly, knowing I would never fight someone usually. But before I could answer that annoying voice of Marnie’s cried.

“You’re asking her?! She’s not the one with the missing piece of hair or the messed up lip.” I rolled my eyes.

“Shut up, it wasn’t even your real hair.” Lana told her giving her a tissue to wipe the blood off of her lip.

“Get out,” Blaze told everyone meanly. I glared at him, and wondered why he was still holding me. But I never question anything else, so why question it now.

“What he means is, it’s late and we have an early flight.” I told everyone softly. Aubrey gave me a thumbs up with Mark on their way out, and Stacy and Marnie scurried quickly behind them.

Lana and Zac were bickering as usual. “Damn Lana is that real back there?” He asked and put a hand on her butt. Let’s just say she punched him in the chest hard, and cussed him out in Spanish. I didn’t catch much with my little knowledge of the language but I knew what she was saying wasn’t pretty. About time they made it out the door, Zac was apologizing “I’m sorry—ow! I’m sorry Lana; I took it too far that time—ow! Okay stop!”

I closed the door behind them and sat on the bed without a word, waiting on Blaze’s comment. It was several minutes before that came.

“What the hell was that, Sage?” He was standing across from me, leaning on the mahogany desk. I looked up at him through my glasses. His face gave away nothing, not even his eyes this time, and that bothered me. Was he mad that I hurt Marnie? Or was he mad that I didnt apologize?

“That wasn’t like you. You don’t fight, and what could she have said to make you go off like that?” He was confused and shock, and even if he didn’t show it on his face it was evident in his voice. Ohh he didnt understand why I would lash out.

“I don’t want to talk about it. She just crossed a line, and I blacked out okay?” I mumbled and climbed on my side of the bed and pulled the covers over me.

He said nothing, and got into the bed with me and turned over on his side and fell asleep. I looked out at the balcony and just watched the dark blue ocean crash on the shore. Honestly one side of me felt really bad for hurting Marnie, because that wasn’t me. But the other told me what I did was right and that the bitch deserved it.

On the plane no one said a word to Blaze or I. I thought it was better just to leave him in his thoughts and he didn’t try to talk to me. Marnie thought that was her chance to get closer to him, but he just blocked her out too. I was brought out of my thought but Lana laughing.

“Aww look at the besito Blaze was getting in this magazine! Did you see this one Aubrey?” Lana asked, and I noticed the cover was of me and Blaze’s hot kiss in front of the fancy restaurant.

“Yeah I was laughing about that on our way here. Have you seen the newest issue of Tigerbeat? It was of their heated kiss in the water. They even got the ass grippi—” I cut off Aubrey before she could finish the rest. I spared Blaze a glance and he was blushing a little. I wanted to smile but I knew he wasn’t on my team today.

“Shut up Aubrey and hand me the magazine.”

“Sheesh,” she laughed. “Okay, wouldn’t want you to go all The Hulk on me, and whoop my ass like you did Marnie.” She joked and I thought it was a little too soon, but that didn’t stop Mark and Zac from laughing and Lana trying to cover hers.

I looked at the magazine and it read, ‘The official fiancé of Blaze Colton, Sage Aroem is seen with him at a beach in Hawaii. Could it be an early honeymoon? Did they elope? Or was she trying to get her fiancé from his busy work schedule? The beautiful couple were seen at the beach with friends having a good time. Sage sporting Givenchy wedged heels, and a Missioni pink and brown swimsuit. We think with her fashion choices she might fit in perfectly with his high fashioned mother, Aurie Colton.’

Marnie scowled in the corner, and while Stacy actually said something, which was odd because she rarely talked this whole trip.

“Eww they called that fashionable. You clashed brands.”  It took a lot but I ignored her, I don’t know what made me want to be so violent. But it was really starting to have an effect on me.

When we dropped Marnie and Stacy off at their mansions we all headed back to the condo. Blaze headed straight to the bedroom not saying a word to me.

“Oh, he still does that? I thought with you he would’ve quit doing the whole ‘shut out’ thing.” Lana spoke.

“No, it seems as if he was affected by the Hawaiian air or something. He’s back to normal now.” I smiled, and headed into the room to put my bag away.

“No, father! Why would you do something like that? I was just trying to have a good vacation and business trip with my friends and fiancé. I don’t understand why you don’t—no, no I understand that. Yes I will be at work tomorrow. No she is not a distraction… I guess.”

Once Blaze finished his phone call, in which he sounded very hostile and cold, it seemed like hate, he sat his I-phone down and huffed. When his green eyes met my brown ones, I turned away and dragged my bag to the closet, but before entering I had something to say to Blaze.

“I don’t mean to be a distraction. And if your father thinks that inviting Marnie to crash our vacation was a good way to show that he didn’t like me, he did a great job.”

I down casted my eyes and walked further into the closet. Of course his dad, that was the reason for all Blaze’s stress, well that and taking up for me. I thought I was a pretty likable person; his mom seemed to like me. But why would his father not like me. Is it because of the same reason that Marnie pointed out, why Blaze and I would never work?

Whoa, whoa, whoa I’m talking as if any of this is real! Had I really forgotten that again? Blaze would be moving on from me in seven months and everything would be like I was never there. But I now realized why I fought Marnie. I liked Blaze, I wasn’t in love with him, but I had a slightly major crush on him, and it would suck when we have to part ways. I liked to think I was growing on him, but no one grows on Blaze, you have to had known him from before he became the way he is, to be let in.

I walked back out into the bedroom and Blaze had his hands on his head, but this time I left him there. I didn’t want to comfort somebody who I was a distraction to.
