Ghost
What Is All This?
It's been almost a month since the incident with Storm and him making Angel stab me. All the guys plus my crew didn't want me doing anything for myself until I was 100% better and I know I am now. I rolled out of bed and into the bathroom flipping on the light. I splashed some water on my face to wake me up better and it did. I went out of the bathroom and grabbed some clothes and started changing. It was so quiet in the house this morning. What the hell is going on? I looked over at the clock on my phone and it was 7 in the morning. No wonder no one is up. Not even my crew gets up at 7. I headed quietly downstairs to the front door and I could hear someone in the kitchen. I stuck my head in and could see Brian making breakfast. I came into the room and sat down at the bar and he never even noticed me.
"Brian." I whispered lowly. He turned around and seen me and just about jumped out of his skin.
"Damn you sure do know how to make an entrance and scare the living shit out of them."
"Okay now if your shit is living, you got a problem." I said smiling. Brian rolled his eyes but couldn't help but laugh.
"Nix you know what I mean."
"I know. I just felt like being a smart-ass today." I said smiling widely. I got up from the bar and came over to the counter.
"So what's for breakfast?" I asked.
"Eggs, sausage, bacon, and pancakes."
"Sounds good. If Angel or Jase comes looking for me tell them I'm outside." I said and he nodded. I walked out of the kitchen and out the front door and sat down on the porch steps. I took out my cigarettes and lit one before inhaling the good morning welcome of nicotine.
I looked out at the road and seen someone walking. They passed by the house and stared right at me before vanishing. I closed my eyes and rubbed them. I breathed in deep before exhaling. I finished my cigarette and just looked over the area. This would be a great place to live. I bet my mom would even like this place.
"Nix?" I turned around and seen Angel.
"Hey girl." I said smiling.
"How you feeling?"
"So much better now. How are you feeling?" I asked.
"I'm good. Can I tell you something?"
"Angel, you can tell me anything and it will stay with me." I said smiling.
"I think I like Zacky."
"Do you think he feels the same way?" I asked.
"I don't know but I can tell you one thing."
"What's that?" I asked.
"Brian really likes you."
"I know. I like him too but..." I said looking away.
"But what? Nix?"
"What about my mom?" I said.
"What about her?"
"I can't just move here and leave her there in Tennessee. I mean it would be nice to live here. It's such a beautiful place but she's all the family I have left...and what if Brian and I get together and we go back to Tennessee. What kind of relationship is that?" I explained.
"I don't know Nix. You have to find what's in your heart. I'm sure your mother would be thrilled that you would have a boyfriend and she would support you with any decision you make. Look at it this way. Your mom has been there for you when your father died, when you started this company to help others, all the traveling and doing what you love is something she can be proud of. She has a daughter who is living her dream to be a paranormal investigator. what mother wouldn't be proud of her daughter for following her dreams?" My mind raced at the fact of what Angel's words said to me. I know my mother is proud of me for doing what I love.
"You're right Angel. Maybe I just worry too much." I said shaking my head.
"You could be but that's just a sign of a loving daughter." She wrapped one arm around my back and pulled me into her side.
"Do you want me to talk to Zacky?" I asked.
"Would you?"
"Of course." I said smiling. She stood to her feet and pulled me up as well and we walked into the house. The aroma of the food was making my stomach grow loudly and Angel laughed. We went into the kitchen where Brian had just finished setting the food on the table.
"You guys make your plates before they get wind of the food." I nodded and we made our plates and just as we sat down I head thundering footsteps coming from the stairs. I shook my head and began to eat. I finished my plate and washed it off before placing it into the dishwasher.
I watched as Angel and Jase brought their plates over and did the same as me before standing beside me. I couldn't believe the amount of food they ate! They eat more than football players do! They all brought their empty plates over to me and I washed them off before sticking them into the dishwasher.
"Zacky?" I said and he turned to me as the others left the room.
"Can I talk to you?" I asked.
"Of course." He walked over to me and sat down on the counter.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Angel." I said.
"What about her?"
"How do you feel about her?" I asked.
"Oh man she's perfect! I mean...the first time I laid eyes on her and helped her with the incident with Matt, I knew she was the girl I want to be with."
"Why don't you ask her out?" I said.
"I don't know how she feels about me."
"I can tell you one thing. She really likes you. More than any guy she's ever had. Just tell her how you feel about her and ask her out." I said smiling.
"I think I'll just do that. Thanks Nix."
"No problem." I said and I punched his shoulder. He left the room and went to be with the guys as I stayed in the kitchen. Angel's words came back to me about Brian. What if he does like me? I know I would accept his asking for me to be with him but I still couldn't leave my mom all alone. I looked up and seen Brian come back into the room.
"Hey Brian." I said smiling. He came over to me and leaned on the counter.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." I said.
"Can I take you out to dinner tonight?"
"Of course. I would be honored." I said smiling.
"Good. Be ready by 7. Wear something casual." he winked at me before leaving the room. Wear something casual? Everything I wear is casual.

It's almost 7 and Angel was watching me do my hair. I always liked it over my right eye because it looks better that way. I slipped on my Harley boots and slipped my phone into my pocket. Angel looked at me and smiled.
"You're looking good." she winked at me.
"Yeah thanks for the weird image in my head." I said laughing.
"Sorry."
"Hell it's alright. I'm just a bit nervous." I said looking at myself again.
"Why are you nervous?"
"I don't know. Maybe because Brian is taking me out to dinner. Just the 2 of us." I said smiling.
"Ooh." She winked again.
"Will stop that!" I sad laughing. She hooked her arm in mine and brought me downstairs where Brian was waiting for me at the door. Angel let go of my arm.
"She's all yours." Angel walked into the living room and Brian took my hand in his.
"Shall we go?"
"Yes we shall." I said and he laughed lightly. He led me out to his car where we got in and he drove down the road to a little Italian restaurant. It looked closed but the open sign was still on. He parked the car and came over to my side and opened the door for me.
"Such a gentleman." I said smiling. He nodded his head and led me into the restaurant. We went to the back where I seen a table lit up with candles.
"What is all this?" I asked.
"Just dinner reservations." He smiled at me and I got lost in his eyes. We didn't have to wait long before a waiter brought out food for us.
"How did you know I liked spaghetti?" I asked.
"A little bird told me." We started eating and soon the food as all gone. Brian stood to his feet and led me outside to the beach where a blanket was in the sand and the sun was now setting.
"Nix there's something I need to ask you."
"What is it?" I asked looking deeply into his chocolate-colored orbs.
"Since the first day you got here and helped me find out that Jimmy was here and laying your life on the line to get out the evil entity, I've fallen for you. The way you make me feel can't be described with words but by actions. Nixael Ray, will you be my girl?" I looked at me longing to be his but something inside me wouldn't let me get close to someone but I pushed it away.
"Yes." I said and he leaned over to me and kissed me softly. He placed his forehead on mine and we looked out into the sun as he set completely over the horizon bringing darkness. I've never had such a wonderful time in all my life.
"I love you Nix."
"I love you too Brian." I said smiling. He kissed me once more before leading me back to his car. I really had the most wonderful time of my life.
"Brian." I whispered lowly. He turned around and seen me and just about jumped out of his skin.
"Damn you sure do know how to make an entrance and scare the living shit out of them."
"Okay now if your shit is living, you got a problem." I said smiling. Brian rolled his eyes but couldn't help but laugh.
