Star Crossed In Time

I feel the bright sunlight coming into the window so I tightly close my eyes and bury my head further into the warm blankets. I hate mornings... A low chuckle slowly pulls me out of my sleep state but when I feel a brush of fingers across my cheek, I instantly sit up. 

Bai Lei lays on his side while propping up his head with a lazy smile on his face. His long black hair cascades down his shoulders, stopping to rest on his white pillow. I was snuggled up against his chest! I scoot further back and quickly climb out of the bed.

I run my fingers through my hair as I awkwardly say "Caffeine..." I quickly walk out of the room and don't stop until I get to the kitchen. As I've said before, I can't take anything bitter so the only way to get caffeine is my Coca-Cola. 

I grab a glass cup and fill it up with crushed ice before opening a coke and pouring in. As soon as the fizz dies down, I quickly down half the glass. A pair of strong arms suddenly appear on both sides of me, effectively blocking me in. 

I choke on the coke as Bai Lei leans in next to my ear saying "Can I have some as well? You make it look so good..." I nervously laugh as I try to slip away but he doesn't budge. "If you want some, I need you to move so I can make you one," I say with a shaky voice.

I feel his smile against my ear making me blush as he says "I want some of yours..." I choke again but this time it's my own saliva! I quickly grab the glass and shove it at him as I practically climb on top of the counter to get away.

He gives me a dark knowing smile as he takes a sip from the glass. He no longer has trouble drinking soda... I clear my throat and make another glass of coke in silence as I try to think of ways to have Ted or one of the others take Bai Lei in. 

After fixing another drink, I make some toast with a few eggs for breakfast. I hate mornings... My phone dings with an alert but when I look over, I see that it's just an advertisement for a new theme park. 

I push the phone away in annoyance but when I look back to Bai Lei an evil light flashes across my eyes. Hah... "Would you like to see more of this world?" I ask with a smirk. Bai Lei notices the smirk but he still nods his head and says "Sure." I giggle and say "Get dressed!" 

I smile in satisfaction as I take off down the hall to get dressed. I put on a simple outfit and a little makeup before walking out to find Bai Lei completely dressed and ready to go. He wore a pair of black ripped jeans with a black long sleeve shirt... His hair was back up in a bun making me frown.

I look back down at my outfit and turn around with a huff. I quickly walk back to the room and change. Why does he look so good in everything!? I slip on a pair of black leggings and an oversized black hoodie. I guess we'll be matching today... 

I walk out to find Bai Lei leaning against the front door with a bored look on his face. I sigh in defeat and quickly grab my things. My silver hair stands out against the black but I kinda like the look... it's definitely growing on me.

The both of us slip on black boots and step out into the morning sun. People instantly look at us as I wave down a cab. Bai Lei watches me with a frown but as a cab pulls up, he nods in understanding. I open the door and say "Get in."

Bai Lei looks to the cab before looking back to me in unease "Are you sure it's safe to sit inside the metal beast?" I blink at him several times as I fight to keep the smile off my face. "I'm certain... the metal beast eats a liquid called gas."

Bai Lei nods his head and carefully crawls into the car. I climb in after him and give the cab driver the address. Bai Lei looks out the window with wonder as the cab drives us to the new theme park. He resembles a child again... 

I pay the cab driver with my phone and quickly get out of the car. I use the coupon on my phone and pay for the two of us to enter. It was still kinda early so there weren't many people here just yet. I let out an evil laugh as I drag him to the largest and fastest roller coaster in the park.

"They look like a famous couple..."

"He's so good looking!"

"She looks just as good!"

"They don't look real...." 

I ignore the comments as I continue to drag him to the ride. Bai Lei watches me with amusement but when he looks up and sees the ride, his amusement instantly disappears. "What is this..." Bai Lei asks with worry as my smile continues to grow. 

"This... is a mighty dragon! Only the strongest can ride this beast and survive!" I say with an evil smirk. Bai Lei watches as a group of people fly past us screaming at the top of their lungs. He swallows hard as he nods his head and says "No problem..."

My evil smile grows as we get closer and closer. You pulled one on me last night... hehe... this is payback! You'll think twice before messing with me again! Hahaha!! Bai Lei turns to look down at me with a frown as I laugh with excitement. "Oh don't mind me... I just love riding the mighty dragon!" I say with another laugh. Bai Lei's eyes flash with something before he quickly hides it...
