The Demons Within Me

Later that evening, the two of us were in my room; Amanda on my bed reading one of my books, and I was at my computer desk messing with some of the graphics on a picture I had been working on. The repetitive and simple turning of pages of Amanda’s choice reading material, as well as the solid thumping coming from my brothers room and the angry yelling from downstairs caused me to put in my ear buds and listen to music to drown out the noise. Moments later, I felt warm hands caress my shoulders and turned half-way in my seat to look at Amanda as she began to softly and gently knead the knots of stress from my shoulders. She slipped one of the earphones out and said



“You know I really don’t know how someone so young manages to get so stressed so easily.” I sighed and she continued the slow continuous movement until I shrugged her off to turn the computer and get ready for bed. I swiveled the chair around so that I could face her and smiled gently.



“Wanna share a bath, or take turns?” I asked slowly, knowing her answer already.



“Share, if you don’t have a problem.” I stretched myself on the chair before getting up and walking past her replying



“Of course it’s no problem. You should know that by now.” She chuckled and followed me. I started hearing the sound of cloth hitting cloth as she stripped and dropped the clothes on the carpet and restrained another chuckle as I grabbed two towels from the cupboard near the door of my bathroom and walked in releasing my body from the cloth restraints that covered it daily. Turning on the tap, I began filling the tub as I heard the bathroom door open and close behind me. Shortly after turning the hot water tap on, I felt a pair of arms circle my waist and a pair of soft breasts press into my back.



“You do so like to tempt me don’t you?” her voice whispered in my ear. I straightened and glanced at her



“I have no idea what you’re implying,” I replied smirking, “I’m simply getting ready for a bath.” she giggled and let me go, reaching down to check the temperature of the water while I went for the scented salts I keep in the cabinets. I turned around and was met with her face inches from mine. My temperature rose and I felt my cheeks flush as she slid closer to me with an intense look in her eyes. Slowly she took the salts from my hands and stepped away, leaving me slightly breathless.



“I hate it when you do that.” I mumbled looking at her naked form as she rested the container on the floor next to the tub. She straightened and left her athletic body in full view for my scrutiny. My eyes swept over her full breasts, and toned stomach inching lower to her most secret place before I stopped myself, forcing my eyes to cease their wanderings and look back to her emerald eyes to see a mischievous glint in them… as usual. I sighed and we got into the bath…



~~~~~~



“So… did you like what you saw?” Amanda asked as I moved to my bed, both of us now fully dressed.



“Always.” I replied without I thought. She chuckled, shortly before tackling me. The yelling downstairs had all but stopped, but the sounds in brothers room, if possible, had increased. The thumping was now accompanied with punctuated, breathless ‘Oh God!’, ‘Christ, Jacob’, ‘AAHH!’ and Amanda knew exactly how I felt when she pressed her lips tenderly to mine, blocking my mind in the only sure way she knew. My mind became filled only with the thoughts of the sensation of her lips against mine, followed achingly slowly by the slow movement of her hands along my sides. My hands moved up along the bottom of her night shirt and slipped onto the warm flesh of her stomach. I felt the ripple of her muscle as she tensed, her hand sliding up and cupping my breasts through the fabric of my pajama top. I moaned into her mouth and she inhaled, sending shivers down my spine. I wasn’t sure who broke the kiss, but I found myself lying on my bed with her straddling my hips with such a hunger in her eyes as she looked at me, I could feel my underwear getting wet. My hands had frozen on their upward trek as I stared into her soulful eyes, trying to understand the depth of the desire she had for me… blissfully unaware of her hands nimble movements unbuttoning my top to allow her hands full contact with the flesh of my upper body.



“Aaaahhnn.” the sound left my mouth with no preamble as she swooped down and engulfed my left nipple into her mouth. I struggled to keep my sanity as she manipulated me as putty in her hands, not coming near my core, and I was already driven mad with want. My hands moved out of her shirt and rested on the back of her head as she suckled me almost as a new-born babe. “D…don’t stop. Please don’t stop…” I breathed when I felt her slow. She smiled against my skin and allowed her hands to trail circles lower down my body, playing with my soft spots, my weak spots and spots that simply shouldn’t exist driving me over the edge. My back arched and my body stilled for a moment before collapsing under her weak, sleepy and content. She pulled herself up to my lips to give me a slow toe-curling kiss, and my breathing hitched for a moment before she relinquished her hold on me letting my mind go fuzzy, then dark…



~~~~~~



I woke up before my alarm went off feeling warm and comforted. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Amanda’s sleeping face inches from mine, feeling her arms wrapped around my midsection. I smiled briefly thinking back to what she did to me last night and nuzzled closer to her. Her arms tightened briefly around me as I moved then her eyes flickered open. I smiled again and kissed her nose. “Morning.” I mumbled



“Morning… Do we have to get up yet?” she asked to which I shook my head. “Good… I like to have you all to myself for awhile longer.” She pulled me closer and my lips brushed against hers softly. The rushed scuffling in my brother’s room told me that whichever girl he managed to somehow seduce had to ‘suddenly’ disappear…

School this time was uneventful, and I knew that as it was Friday, I had to expect my day to be ruined in one way or another by the time I got home. The park was one of my more favorite retreats. Staying under the weeping willow next to the lake always had a calming effect on me, and today I was using it to delay the inevitability of going home and meeting the insanity that goes on there. I had my sketch book out and I was making a black and white sketch of the people on the benches that littered the serenity of the lake. An old couple, two lovers, a single woman, a young boy playing feet from a young couple that could be his parents, a solitary elderly man who seemed to be always there with a mournful look on his face… A sound behind me caused me to look back to see Amanda with a soft smile on her face. “I thought I’d find you here.”



“Hey Amanda.” I turned back to my sketches,



“Aren’t you going home?” She asked sitting next to me and peering into my book.



“Later. Not sure I want to start off my weekend with my family just yet.” I replied trying to give her a bright smile. Last time went home early on a Friday I ended up in one of the biggest fights in my family’s history… spent a week in the hospital with a broken ankle and a gash on my back that made the doctors amazed at my recovery. I did not want a repeat of that mistake ever.



“So what’s your plan until then? Stay here and draw until you can’t any more?” She asked, her hand finding it’s way onto my shoulder.



“That, was my plan…initially…” I said tilting my head to her, “Then I was going to roam the streets for a bit…”



“The whole ‘where the wind takes you’ is dangerous.” She remarked with a frown. “Lets go for a walk.” She pulled my arm, and I struggled to get my stuff put away before she dragged me off. My back-pack now on my back I walked slowly next to her and heard her sigh.



“What’s wrong ‘Manda?” I asked seeing a twinge of sadness in the beautiful eyes that had a habit of entrancing me.



“Remember how I told you my dad was trying to get me to ‘hook up’ with a guy?” I nodded, she sighed again. “It’s Robert” I stopped.



“Robert.” I stated shocked to the core. “As in Robert James?” She nodded, “THE Robert James, voted most homophobic in the year ten times over by the school? That Robert James?” She laughed,



“Yes Saige. That Robert. Asshole of a century, and my dad insists, ‘Come on love, just one date… who knows? You might actually like it.’” She replied with a strikingly accurate imitation of her fathers tone. I sighed and asked,



“Well, are you going?” She whirled on me as I started to move with her again and gave me a furious look.



“Do I have a choice?” She demanded “Daddy dearest always has the last say in any matter, and this is one matter I wish he’d keep his nose out of.” she spat out, tears threatening to spill from her eyes. I put my arm around her and kissed her forehead.



“Watch out around him please.” I murmured, recalling all the stories of his escapades around the school. “I don’t want you getting hurt, ‘kay?” she nodded putting her arms around me and we stayed like that for a moment longer before letting go. We walked for a while longer before she looked at her watch and groaned. It was just after six and the sky was beginning to change colors as the sun set. I sighed and took her by the arm “Lemme guess… He’s supposed to be coming to pick you up around seven?” Typical time and her dad was predictable. She nodded rolling her eyes. I smiled sadly, “Then we should get you home before your dad has a cow.” She pouted and walked after me as I started on the way to her house.



“I wish he’d just leave me alone.” she mumbled in a low voice. I said nothing as it was obvious she didn’t want me to hear that, but I couldn’t help but agree with her. He made his voice clearly heard by the boy he chose for her. Yet he didn’t see how much it was hurting her, and if he did he was simply heartless.



~~~~~~~~~



In my room again, just managing to get away from my fuming parents as the questioned my brother on some of his less questionable nighttime activities, sitting at my table filling out some of the sketches I had made of the people around the lake earlier and I heard a buzzing sound emanate from somewhere near my feet. I looked down at my bag before moving to shuffle through and found my phone as it lit up, the caller id reading Amanda’s name. “Hey what’s wrong?” I asked as I picked up. I heard a wry chuckle before she answered my question



“I saw a couple in the restaurant and I couldn’t handle his remarks.” I frowned before asking



“Male or female?”



“Male… why?” a smile came across my features,



“He could just be overcompensating… you know that.” she laughed at my words and I could almost see her shake her head. “What did you tell him?”



“Nothing. But I sent him evil eyes and got him to sober up.” I shivered at the thought of being on the receiving end of her ‘evil eyes’ they tended to make normal people tremble at the horrors that are promised on the other side. “But…” her voice was hesitant.



“Do you want to come over again?” I asked knowing deep down I just wanted to see her yet again.



“If that’s no problem.” I looked down at my art



“Lemme just ask my mom. Gimme a minute.”
