Please excuse the spelling and roughness it's my second full story, I make up as I go along and put down whatever comes into my head.
I hope you enjoy it.
I hope you enjoy it. Chase sat, drinking coffee, he was tired, he'd been awake half the night with the noise coming from next doors, his new neighbours, a wierd looking bunch and trouble, loud music day and night, yelling and shouting at all times.
If he had known they were going to turn up in the hood he would never have bought the house but he had been told by the estate agent that the old place next doors was to be torn down.
It had ended up being sold to a man that dealt in cheap housing, giving them to anyone that paid the rent and didn't ask for any work to be done. Chase sighed, it had taken a long time to get were he was now, alot of hours and hard work but now he had his own buisness drawing plans for..well...just about anything, house's, office's, bridge's he could do any of them and he was the best, people came all across the world to hire him.
Things were good, not great but good, he had always been a hard worker and after the accident he threw himself into it even more...
Hearing the honk outside he got up, i'll go over to that place later and see if I can get them to quieten down a bit.
Locking the front door he got into the waiting car and left for work. That afternoon he saw his new neighbours return home and studied them closely.
They looked very odd, black leather with chains and heavy make up
He mumbled threw gritted teeth about "These youngsters needing to get job's" as he headed for their house. Chase knocked at the front door, he could hear drums being banged loudly and threw the noise a voice shouting "Spog! will you get that, SPOG... SPOG, get the blooming door!"
"Oh for goodness sake", IT'S OK ARRON, I'VE GOT IT!
Chase wondered if they ever lost there voices with the amount of shouting that went on.
The door opened and he came face to face with the most startling eyes he had ever seen, they belonged to a.. well... a young woman, no more than nineteen maybe twenty, even with the piercings and odd hair he could tell she was very pretty.
"Yes, may I help you?"
Chase coughed, "Ere..yes I would like to speak to the head of the household"
"That would be my brother, please come in and i'll get him for you"
Wow! he thought, get rid of the silly stuff on her face and some nice clothes and she would be hot, "Thank you" he replied "And your name is...?
"Storm, my name is Storm and my Brother is Arron.
Chase walked threw the door into what only could be described as nasty, the place needed a complete overhaul, even torn down and rebuilt.
A young man with bright orenge hair looked at him with suspision, "You the law?" the man demanded.
"I've come to complain about the noise"
"AANND.what ya gona do about it?" the youngster replied folding his arms.
"LOOK HERE!", Chase answerd, "I wont stand for the noise day and night, people apart from you live here and we sleep at night as we have jobs to go to".
The lad sneered, "And who's gonna stop us..you!" Chase looked at the other trying to control his anger, "I can do plenty, I am not without power around here and the courts would back me up"
"LAA..DEE..DAA, I am a big man" The orange haired lad smirked, "I'm not afraid of you, or anyone!"
Chase wondered if the boy was looking for a fight or was he just acting brave, it was obvious that if it came to it he would win, although older than the boy he was fit and knew how to look after himself.
"SPOG!...thats enough, i'll handle it". came a voice. Chase turned, "You must be Arron?"
"That I am and i'm also the leader of this little gang, you'll have to excuse Spog he can be a bit hot headed at times, now what can I do for you?"
"Look, i'm not wanting to cause any trouble but can you be a little less noisy at night, everyone in the street is mad at the amount of noise you lot make and are complaining, I must admit that I have had little sleep since you came here"
"Hay, look, we like to party, but we'll try to keep it down...a bit"
"Well if you don't i'm afraid there will be trouble.
Arron looked at Chase, "There's always trouble" A few weeks later Chase returned home, he'd been away on buisness, two weeks of meetings and more meetings but he'd got the contract, he was to draw up plans for the new bridge in pleasantville.
Getting out of the car he looked forward to a shower, stiff drink and bed. He'd just got in the door when the bell rang, opening it he was surprised to find Storm standing there.
"Mr Young i'd like a word with you" she demanded.
"Can't it wait till morning" he replied noticing the change in her hair.
"No"
"Very well, you better come in"
He led her to the livingroom, "Now Miss err....
"HOW DARE YOU! WE PROMISED TO KEEP THE NOISE DOWN BUT YOU GO AHEAD AND TRY TO GET US EVICTED!"
Chase looked at Storm with surprise, "I'm sure I don't know what you are talking about, i've been out of town for the past month and know nothing about it"
Storm wasn't listening as she was so wound up, "WE HAVE BEEN PRETTY GOOD, WELL BETTER, BUT THE POINT IS YOU SAID AS LONG AS WE WERE REASONABLE THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM BUT NO YOU HAVE TO GET A COURT SUMONS TO MAKE US BEHAVE AND THREATEN US WITH LOOSING OUR HOME......"
He was staring at her eyes, the anger in them made him think of a raging storm, wild, raw he wondered what it would take to tame her. Chase grabbed her and kissed her, the look on her face told him she wasn't expecting it but he didn't stop, he felt her resist, try to put up a fight but then she stopped and slowly she kissed him back.
So she felt it too, the chemistry between them, he had wanted to do this from the day he first set eyes on her and boy did it feel good, it had been a long time since he had kissed a woman...not since that day... all those years ago. Chase stood in the bathroom, he really should shave if he had known what he was going to do he would have done.
He thought back to earlier, she had returned his kiss, putting her arms round him, then suddenly she pulled back with a questioning look on her face she turned and ran.
There was certainly an attraction between them, why did he feal that way towards her from the looks of her she was not dinner party material, they were from two differant worlds.
He lay in the dark, tossing and turning, should he have gone after her.
He thought of the last woman he had been with, Lucy, god how he loved her, he was devestated when she had gone and swore never to fall in love again maybe it was time to mingle in the dating world again, it didn't have to get serious, heck he didn't want that but another woman more his type.
He made the decision not to give Storm another thought as he finally fell asleep.
Storm had woken early after a bad night, it hadn't been easy getting to sleep and when she had her dreams were full of Chase, she had enjoyed the kiss and secretly had wondered what would be like the day they met.
She checked herself in the mirror, scared that somthing in her look would give it away, it wouldn't be a good idea for Arron to find out he would be furious..getting involved with enemy, Arron was a good brother and as the eldest had taken it on himself to care for her when their parents were killed but their life was hard, they were misfits, unwanted, they were not bad people just a bit wild, she hadn't been to school much, they moved around to much, getting a job was out of the question, you need to read to do a job even waitressing required that but Arron made enough money for them by doing up cars and selling them, sometimes she wished her life to be different.
Was that the attraction to Chase, wanting what she couldn't have? A few days later Chase got a surprise visit from Storm.
"I wanted to apologize for my outburst the last time I was here, i've heard that you were out of town and so you couldn't posably be the one to get the law on us"
Chase watched her with a little amusement, first he could tell she was nervous and second she didn't mention the kiss.
"I will accept your apology only if you will have dinner with me!".
"I....I...well"
"Just dinner", Chase pushed.
"Ok" she replied, she was glad that he had asked her but also wondered what a man like him could see in a girl like her. Chase started to cook, "This a new dish i'm trying so be kind"
Storm stood and watched while Chase prepared the meal, listening to him talk, she could have listened to his deep voice all night.
"Storm could you look up the magazine for me i'm not sure if it's thyme i'm supposed to use?"
Storm looked at him in horror, "Err, yes, of course", she answered picking up the magazine and flicking threw the pages.
After a while Chase turned to see why she didn't give the recipe he watched her getting more and more flustered.
"It's called salmon-a-la-posh", twice she got to the page only to carry on turning, he wondered if she would pick it out if their was a picture to the recipie, "I've got it, it is thyme", putting Storm out of her misery, in her agitated state she had a severe risk of biting her bottom lip off. Storm put the magazine down with a sigh of relief, she could try to bluff it but thought it best to not mention it.
She turned to look out the window, hiding tears, tears of anger and embaresment, as if being a penniless misfit wasn't bad enough she now showed him why he should not want her.
She was so busy trying to fight the tears and gain some composure that she didn't know Chase was behind her, or that he could see her crying in her reflection in the window.
Chase's heart jumped, if he had known he wouldn't have put her in that situation but then how could he have known, taking her hands he turned her to face him, "You can't read can you?", didn't you ever go to school?" Storm's head was swimming, his hands in hers was making her spine tingle.
"NO, I CAN'T READ, NOR CAN i WRITE, NO I NEVER WENT TO SCHOOL, DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR STUPID QUESTIONS!", Storm blurted out before she had a chance to think, removing her hands from his, "I think I should go now" she whispeard backing towards the door.
"NO! wait, i'm sorry I shouldn't have asked, lets forget it happened and have dinner?"
"Ok" They ate in silence, Storm embaressed by her secret being known.
Chase watched from the other side of the table, sitting here he had a real chance to study the girl..woman, good grief how old was she?"
"I hope you don't mind me asking but how old are you?"
"Ninteen nearly twenty", she replied defensivley.
"How did you end up here with your brother?" he pushed wanting to know more.
Storm sighed, "My brother has looked after me since I was six, our parents died in a house fire, "Dad was a scientist and had been working on a weather machine, it was supposed to solve all weather problems in the world but on it's first test insted of rain it threw fire balls, the house and my parents were ingulfed", Storm stopped for a moment, I was at school and Arron was at collage, after the accident Arron quit collage and taking me along with him left town, we have moved around ever since, Spog teamed up with us and then Arron met Jamie, the other girl at the house that day you came round, well she's Arron's girlfriend now" Chase felt sorry for her, he too knew what it was like to loose a loved one.
"So what's with the wierd clothes and the make up?" he asked instead.
"Were Goths, it's who we are, people think were trouble but we just want to be left alone to live our lives, yes there wild and have been in trouble with the law but really we are just wanting to be left alone"
"Don't you ever wish for a normal life?"
"I wouldn't know what a normal life is, and besides it would hurt Arron and he's been very good to me, he's my brother, I love him"
Chase sensed that was all he was going to get out of her so changed the subject, "So when are you coming for your first leason?"
"Sorry what leason?" she replied with surprise.
"Your reading leason... no don't answer yet, listen to what I have to say first, I know your bright and will pick it up easy, i'm a good teacher, wouldn't you like to be able to read books and magazines, they tell you alot about the world or can loose you in a world that dosn't exist".
It had taken some doing but he managed to convince her to come twice a week, anymore would make Arron suspitious she had said.
Chase wondered why on earth he had offered to teach her but as the weeks went on he started to look forward to her visits, she was a quick learner and was keen.
She never mentioned the kiss so niether did he but he wished she would just so he could kiss her again. Chase made several more complaints about the noise and parties but Arron ignored him, he had made an enemy and although it didn't bother him he was surprised that Storm kept coming for her leasons.
He had gone round one night and had a argument with Arron that nearly came to blows but that Spog fellow had calmed things down by drinking from the drinks faucet and nearly choking.
As everyone ran to help Arron had told him to leave. He new from the neighbours that the were causing trouble in town too and had got into several fights that had involved the police, they local people were fed up and were planning to have a eviction notice served on them.
He had to admit he was fed up with them, their parties had got louder and more frequent and did they have to let of fireworks so often.
Storm loved being able to read and now had her head in a book at every opportunity.
Not wanting Arron to find out she spent a lot of time in her room but one afternoon she got caught.
"And since when have you been able to read and how?" he demanded.
Storm look up from her book and as calmly as possible, "I taught myself" hoping that he bought her lie.
"Huh, what can you possably learn in a book that you can't here with us?"
"Well I don't need you to check the size's on the labels when buying my undies anymore"
Arron's girlfriend heard the conversation, "Arron!, what's wrong with Storm learning to read and as for you" she turned to Storm laughing, "You go girl, we girls have the right to buy our undies in private"
Arron grunted and muttered somthing about it not being a problem before as he stormed out the room. She was delighted over the fact that she was now able to read the classics, at the moment she was enjoying Pride and Predudice, a difficult book and she was slow but loving every bit of it, if she got stuck Chase was their to help.
After a lesson one evening Chase suddenly made an anouncement, "I have a surprise this weekend, you have done very well and I think you deserve this, will you come with me?" he asked taking her hand.
Storm's heart started to beat wildly and her mouth was going dry, "Where?"
"Thats the surprise, say you'll come?"
She thought for a moment trying to ignore the hammering coming from her heart and the touch of his hand, "Yes"
"Great!, I have to work but I finish at five, be here for six, it'll take an hour by car but it's worth it"
The rest of the week seemed to drag but finally Saturday arrived, Arron was in the yard having come across an old heap that he thought he could do up and sell.
"You honestly think you can fix that piece of junk?" Storm asked with a twinkle in her eye.
"Oh sis, ye of little faith, you wait this is gonna be a piece of art when i'm done".
"You mean a piece of scrap" she laughed, "Look i'm gona head into town for a while, I don't know when i'll be back"
"Ok, were you going?, want me to come along?
"NO, no, i'm going to the libary and then I thought I might do some window shoping" hoping that he could'nt tell she was lieing. "Look i'm sorry about my anger when I found you reading, I guess I was angry that you hadn't told me, your ok arn't you?, I mean your not unhappy?, I brought you up the best way I know, your all the family i've got and i'm scared i'm gonna loose you that you won't need me" he blurted not looking up from the car.
Storm planted a kiss on his cheek, "Don't be silly, your my big brother i'll always need you" Turning she almost ran out the yard terrified the guilt she was feeling would make her blurt out the truth. They drove in silence, Storm feeling guilty about all the lieing she had done lately.
Chase was having a different problem, he was trying to work out what was happening between him and Storm, he felt drawn to her but why, she was really too young for him, good god! he was forty, then there was their differances, he a well known Architect with his own buisness and she, he gave a quick look, well she was one of those goth things, trouble or at least the rest of them were, to be honest he could have his pick of women but he had lucy till that day and then wasn't interested till now, so why Storm, what was special about her.
"We're here he suddenly anounced as he parked the car, come on let's go make a sand castle!"
Storm looked up to find they were at the beach. After the castle building they went for a swim.
"Bet you can't catch me!" Chase shouted and took off.
Storm watched for a moment, admiring his strenth as he cut through the water, she had to admit he had a wonderfull body and it was obvious that he worked out, she felt her face go red.
Shaking the thoughts out of her head, "You wait till I catch you!" Afterwards the ate, Chase had even thought of a picnic.
They stood in silence watching the waves crash against the rocks and when he turned and stroked her cheek she didn't stop him, maybe it was the warm air or the sound of the waves but she knew he was going to kiss her and waited....
Chase was looking at Storm, the moonlight catching her pale skin made her look more delicate than normal, as if she would break, his hand went to her face, he knew what he was going to do, he would regret it tomorrow but he had too, he brought his face closer, hoping she wouldn't pull away but at the same time wishing she would. Nothing existed, nothing mattered, their differences, their problems, time no longer existed, it was just them and the sound of the waves even the gulls above had gone quiet as if knowing this was their moment. It had been several weeks since Chase has seen Storm, not since their trip to the beach.
He had woken on the sunday mad, he was mad at himself, what had posesed him to kiss her, worse still it hadn't stoped at the kiss.
He made his desision not to see her anymore and thankfully she hadn't been in touch, but for some reason that hurt.
He threw himself into his work again and tried not to think of her. Storm was in trouble, she had been seen with Chase at the beach and when confronted by Arron told the truth.
"WHAT?,you've been seeing him behind my back all this time", he roared, after everything i've done for you you repay my by this, you've been seeing the enemy.
"I'm sorry Arron, it just happened"
"Just happened, how can you be with that man, he was trying to get us out of this house, get us thrown out of town"
"Arron, he had nothing to do with that order he....
"And I tell you he was, I brought you up, I nursed you when you were sick, I gave up college for you and you go sneeking of behind my back with him".
"Look it's over, I havn't seen him in weeks and am not going too"
"Its too late, you have lost my trust, I don't even know you, maybe I never did" Storm looked at her brother with tearfull eyes, "Very well, I will leave in the morning"
"No, I think it better if you left now, I don't ever want to see you again"
Storm held her head high as she walked through the front door.
Maybe when things had calmed down he would regret the things he had said and forgive her but till then she was on her own.
