Chapter 29: Poison
'Hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting it to hurt the other person'
That is one of the best quotes I had ever read and meant I tried my best to forgive and forget and go through life with happy goggles on holding no grudges.
Of course I hadn't met Blade Night then..
Right now, sitting in the car whilst watching the first property, a garage in Old Town, ensuring no one was inside before we went to have a look, I might as well have been drinking bottles of poison!
Blade was being highly obnoxious and it was driving me mad and I was hating on him big time! Firstly, to wake me up on arrival, even though I was bloody faking sleep, the asshole stroked my cheek in a really loving manner and since then he has taken any opportunity to touch me!
I really didn't want to have another argument with him in this sort of enclosed space and when we were on a mission but I swear if his hand came anywhere near me again I was going to break it!
When we had first arrived, Blade had attempted to make small talk, however I had given him the cold shoulder and he had finally given up. I was starting to worry I was acting like a bunny boiler** I mean we had only shared a few touches and kisses and we had kind of apologised to each other and called a ceasefire in his office so I don't know why I was always so mad at him.. maybe it's unresolved sexual frustration or maybe my Aunt was due..
Finally, after a super careful and necessary -insert eye rolls here - fifteen minutes of staring at an empty garage, Blade deemed it safe for us to go over and have a look inside. Lane and I had broached the subject of gaining access but Nate and Blade had smirked and told us not to worry so I guess they both took a masterclass in breaking and entering..
The garage in question was one of many, there being several rows of them and they were back to back which meant there was only the one entrance and exit. It's lucky this was a fairly industrial, quiet part of town as I doubted an old garage door like this looked to be would open quietly.
Blade took a chisel and hammer out of his inner coat pocket.. like a master criminal.. then put the chisel against the small keyhole in the handle and bashed it with the hammer! It worked like a charm and we were able to open the door but I was so disappointed he hadn't picked the lock like I was expecting!
"We don't have time for you to make any of your sassy comments Tash, just get in there and start looking."
Muttering under my breath I clicked on my torch and got ready to search.. nothing. The garage was completely empty. Not a shelf, not a drawer, nothing! Blade crouched down, seeming to study the floor intently so I crouched next to him trying to figure out what he was looking at.
"What've you seen?"
"Nothing, I'm just checking to see if there's a secret door in the floor."
I felt bad. I did. I just couldn't help it. I laughed like a loon! Blade sent me a dark look then dragged me back to the car, but I'm pretty sure his ears were red!

The next two properties we viewed were both devoid of any type of clue or anything really and, feeling a bit dejected, we met up with Lane and Nate - who had also been unsuccessful - for some food.
As the prez was paying, Lane and I had ordered steak and as the almost buttery meat melted on my tongue I forgot there were other people present. I devoured that steak in about 3.5 seconds and they may have been the best 3.5 seconds of my life. Licking my lips repeatedly for any remnants of flavour I seriously considered licking my plate when I glanced up and realised my table mates were all staring at me.
"I'm so sorry you had to see that!"
"Waiter, bring her another three steaks"
Nate and Lane snickered at Blades hollered words but I was too caught in his heated gaze to find it funny. Leaning in, his hot breath against my ear causing the usual shivers, he whispered low and hot.
"I've only heard those noises come out of your mouth when my hands are on you."
Pushing back from the table I hastily went to the washroom and started splashing cold water on my face and neck to cool my libido down. No man should be that hot! Hearing the door, I lifted my gaze to the mirror expecting Laney but it was Night.
"This is the WOMENS wash room.."
Smirking, Blade stalked towards me, his movements sensual and graceful.
"Tasha I need to make you come. I need to be inside you, finally."
He reached for me and I did the only thing a strong, mature woman could do.. I ran! I ran and I didn't stop until I was sitting in a taxi on my way back to my mothers place, safe from Blade and his overwhelming sex appeal.
