West

The western part of the city is often home to the poorer residents. Here there is a grunginess that permeates the town from the graffiti on the once cleaned brick buildings to the broken and unmaintained architecture. Crime runs high within the western half of town, making it the home of supernatural gangs of illicit activities. Such activities are rarely reported, however, and most residents are distrustful of individual's of authorities, and often let the powerful supernatural beings sort things out amongst themselves. Be careful wandering the Western streets after the sun falls.

I could practically smell the fear coming from Ashton and it only made me more nervous. What was he so scared of? Was he already regretting bringing any of this up? Did he want to go back to just hanging out occasionally? I started chewing my bottom lip without realizing it, going through all the options in my head of what could be making him nervous. When I did find the strength to nod though, the breath of relief was all too obvious and my brows furrowed in confusion. Wait, he was nervous because of me? I met his eyes, only to see him leaning toward me suddenly. What is he doing? His lips were tantalizingly close and I held my breath, unsure what to do. Then his lips touched mine, a simple touch and go, but it left my whole body wired like I'd just been shocked by lightening. I didn't let out the breath I was holding until he pulled back. I could still feel his lips on mine. Finally, I was able to meet his eyes again and when he said he was happy, I couldn't help but smile.

"Really?" I couldn't help but whisper. It was like I'd lost the ability to speak. He was still so close, so close that it was still hard to breathe. I pulled in his scent, his cologne, everything. It was like I was drowning in it, but I didn't mind. When his hands found my hips, I felt myself tense at the contact, but when they didn't move further, I found myself relaxing slowly into his touch. So this is what this feels like. I couldn't stop smiling as I looked up at him. Then he asked what I wanted to do for our first date and I thought back to the movies I'd watched. "Eat?" That's what most couples do together, right? And I'm always down for food. Feeling a little courageous, I moved my hands to rest on his arms. Wow, they're solid. Pure muscle. Okay, Malia, try not to squeeze too hard. Don't want him to know you're thinking about his arms when you're supposed to be thinking about your first date.
