On The Other Side

[kailey]

Eva took a few from his hands and distributed them, offering an encouraging word and a smile here and there. One particular girl who was in her thirties it seemed was huddled in a corner, all alone. Evangel walked up to her and handed her the best tasting coffee in her hands. After drinking it, the girl stood up and wrapped her arms around Eva.


Dayton pulled her in again and kissed her harder, longer. "It won't take as long as you think, gorgeous" he muttered, his voice extremely slurred at this point.

 

[tamaracorine]

Jack watched her happily, admiring her. He could like a girl like her, someone who could hug a woman who needed it. He smiled and approached a man, chatting easily.


Leah gulped, turning herself around to face Dayton. "You gonna break my heart?" She whispered.

 

[kailey]

Eva spoke with the woman a few more moments before making her way back over to Jack. She smiled at him and leaned against the nearest wall, she didn't want to interrupt his conversation with the man.


Dayton frowned thoughtfully and kissed her neck. "You don't have a heart, dear, you're a demon. Physically, yes, but not in the sense that humans use. But if you're extra good I'll try and pretend like yours is a good one,"

 

[tamaracorine]

Jack finished his conversation and walked over to Eva. "Hey." He grinned. "I like to bring these guys coffee sometimes. It's sort of nice to hang with them."


Leah wrapped her arms around him and groaned. "That's not an answer..." She mumbled. "Not an answer. Come on. You can't just kiss me to shut me up."

 

[kailey]

"They're extremely nice people. It's a shame they have to live like this. No one seems to care about them," She commented as a hint of sadness spread across her face and into her voice. She quickly smiled up at Jack. "It's wonderful that you do that though"





He continued to kiss her neck and talk. "It's an answer, I should think. But I know what you mean. I can't guarantee anything, but you're kinda growing on me" if he were sober he would've never said anything like that, but he was completely out of it.

 

[tamaracorine]

Jack put an arm over her shoulders carefully. "Come on." He walked away with her, heading towards a tree. He climbed into the top of it and sat on a branch. "This is my favourite spot in the park. Can see everything."


Leah nodded and pulled him into a proper kiss, a long kiss. She was still holding onto some of her self control, the voice of the head angel in her mind, scolding her, but she wanted to let go of it. Maybe it was time she became a real demon.

 

[kailey]

Eva smiled and was pleasantly surprised when Jack draped an arm across her shoulders. It made her feel... Safe. She proceeded to climb the tree with him, and sat next to her fellow angel. The city was gorgeous, really. And he was right, this was a great spot.


Dayton sensed something stirring within her. Something evil. He kissed her again, much harder, biting her lip as he pulled away. His hands moved up and down her sides. Smirking, he looked into her eyes.

 

[tamaracorine]

"Check out the pond. The kids with their remote control boats." Jack laughed. "Sometimes one falls in and it's hard to not laugh. I swear they do it on purpose half the time. Honestly. They want to fall in. Maybe we all just want to fall sometimes. Lose control."


Leah shivered, shaking her head. "No, no, no. Don't. No. This is bad. This is bad. Bad, bad, bad." She murmured, bouncing nervously. "I'm not this easy.


I'm not."

 

[kailey]

Eva laughed but considered what he said. It was true, in a sense. As an angel, she grew up with somewhat strict guidelines. It would be nice to let loose a little every once in a while.


Dayton frowned and pulled away, giving her some space. He wasn't completely heartless. "Blame it on the alcohol, darling," he suggested with a shrug.

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah took slow breaths, her eyes searching Dayton's for something. She touched his cheek lightly, leaning over to kiss him. "Why is it so hard to let go of being an angel?" She whispered, "I just want to let go." She played with Dayton's hair, "Help me let go."


"Maybe we loose control in other ways." Jack shrugged. "Greasy food. Coffee with friends. Late nights and trashy TV. Hardly demonic. But it's okay. We don't want to be like them."

 

[kailey]

"I like that." She stated simply, looking over at Jake with a smile. It was getting to be pretty late, actually. Eva noticed the sun setting in the distance and sighed. Despite the whole demon mishap, it had been a pretty good day around town with him. It was a Shame it was almost over.


Dayton nodded, understanding. "You are fallen. They don't control you. Embrace being a demon, Leah," he looked into her eyes again before kissing her, long and slow. He wanted this one to last. But as he kissed her, he sent sone fear into her again to get her adrenaline going.

 

[tamaracorine]

"Do you carry a phone?" Jack asked. "If you do, can I have your number?" He asked hopefully. "Today has been fun. I'd like to do it again sometime, even if it includes the demons."


Leah nodded slightly, leaning back to take another gulp of alcohol. "And embracing being a demon obviously means I embrace you?" She chuckled. "Funny how my fallen state means I get naked with you."

 

[kailey]

Eva nodded. "Here it is," she repeated the numbers to him. She liked the idea of spending more time with him. She was beginning to feel something... But she couldn't place it. Eva just shrugged it off for now.


Dayton kissed her harder and pushed her down on the couch. "It really is the worst possible thing you could do," he responded with a smirk. He was one of the baddest Demons in the area. The poor girl wouldn't have any more angel left in her.

 

[tamaracorine]

Jack saved the number into his phone and smiled, leaning over to kiss her cheek. "I'll probably call you tomorrow. Apparently you're meant to wait three days so you don't sound too eager, but stuff that." He smirked. "See you soon." He flew from the tree, grinning.


Leah moved them to her bedroom soon enough, and as early morning arrived, she smiled to herself through the hangover, cuddling close to the man next to her. He was hot. She had let go.


'Coffee?' Jack texted Eva.

 

[kailey]

Eva smiled and blushed as he kisses her cheek. After he left, the girl climbed down and walked home, it wasn't too far.


Dayton awoke with a pounding headache and a girl cuddled up with him. It took him a second to remember who she was. Right, Leah. Demon, he relaxed knowing this information. Fully demonic, he thought with a smirk as he moved closer to her.


Eva heard her phone buzz while she sat at her kitchen counter watching the news. She replied: "Sure. Here's my address, head on over "

 

[tamaracorine]

Leah looked up at him, her eyes bloodshot from the hangover and a small smile on her lips. She kissed Dayton's neck lightly, nibbling the skin. "Hey." She whispered. "Didn't expect you to stay until morning."


Jack grinned to himself and travelled to her place, climbing in through the window. He smiled at her, "hey, beautiful." He greeted.

 

[kailey]

In truth, Eva was still in her pajamas which consisted of a messy bun, sweatpants, and a Nike t-shirt, but she smiled and blushed nonetheless. "You sure seem extra excited this morning," she observed as she stood up to walk over toward him.


Dayton stared up at the ceiling as she kissed his neck. He wasn't expecting to stay either, but for some reason he did. They both were very hungover, but she still managed to look cute. He sighed loudly and turned over to wrap his arms around her. "My bed isn't this comfortable, I thought I'd take advantage of yours," he mumbled sarcastically.

 

[tamaracorine]

"Well, I'm in a good mood." He shrugged. "I'm often in a good mood. Used to be told I was too perky even for an angel. Not my fault the sky is blue and the world is bright." He smirked.


Leah smiled and nodded, continuing the kisses. "Uh huh. I don't believe you." She laughed. "I think you like cuddling with me. Or at the very least, you like me naked so much that you don't want to leave me alone and naked."

 

[kailey]

"Not a bad quality, I admit it's admirable to find optimism and cheeriness in every situation. I gotta go get dressed, so just make yourself comfortable," Evangel turned to go into her room. She grabbed a plain, gray skater dress and sandals. She quickly combed her hair and brushed her teeth and went out to meet Jack in her living area.


Dayton groaned tiredly. "All of the above," he responded, his hands moving down her sides... Then back up.

 

[tamaracorine]

Jack was laying down comfortably on the couch and smiled at her as she returned. "What do you want to do today?"


Leah settled her head on Dayton's chest, her arm draped over the middle of his abdomen. She traced circles, enjoying the feel of his muscles. "I've got two assignments today, but maybe I should forget them and stay right here."

 

[kailey]

"I'm really up for anything, don't put me in charge of decision making," Eva warned teasingly. She was glad he seemed comfortable in her little apartment.


Dayton mumble something, still half asleep. "I hardly do what they tell me anyways, you'll be fine if you wish to stay," his own generosity amazed him.

 

[tamaracorine]

"Oh come on." Jack rolled his eyes. "Show me your favourite spots. Show me something that makes you smile. Hell, we can ride the Ferris wheel down by the river if you like." He grinned.


Leah nodded and closed her eyes, taking deep breaths. She rolled out of bed and walked out of the room, for the first time ever unashamed of her naked form. She looked good. The mark of an angel remained on her back, two long lines where her wings used to come out. The difference was that they were stitched painfully shut. Apart from that, she had the pale skin and perfect form of a demon woman.

 

[kailey]

Eva laughed and thought hard. "Could we... Go to the beach on the river and just go have a picnic and swim and relax?"


Dayton let his eyes wander over Leah as she got out of bed. She was breathtaking. A range of feelings spread throughout him; lust, jealousy, greed... He sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. He had never worried about his exposed self. He was toned, fit, slim waist and muscle.

 

[tamaracorine]

"Done." Jack nodded. "Let's go." He rolled off the couch and walked out of the apartment. "So, is this like a date?" He asked.


Leah made a pot of coffee. As she waited for it to brew she returned to Dayton's lap, sitting down on him, facing him with a small smile. "You turned me. No more angel left. That voice of innocence is gone."

 

[kailey]

Eva smiled excitedly and went into her room to quickly pack some towels and a bikini for swimming . They could pick up food on the way. "Would you like it to be?" She called out to him as she returned into the living room.


"Oh I know I have," he mumbled, his voice raspy and rough from sleep. He let his hands wander over her skin, her back, sides, everywhere. The stitching on her back didn't bother him. It meant she had given up that life. And he has fully demonized her. Dayton smirked.
