I Think It's Just About Time To Give Him Up
Claire Danvers was walking home to the Glass House when she saw her boyfriend. She walked across the street to Common Grounds to meet up with him; it was a weird place to be for Shane Collins considering he usually avoids the place like the plague. "Hey babe, what are you doing here?" Claire asked.
"Oh, I was just waiting for you; I wanted to walk you home considering I had the day off. Don't you have the day off as well?" Shane asked, already knowing the answer.
"No Shane, I have work until five thirty."
"Aww, come on can't you just ditch one day?"
"Not unless you want me to become breakfast, lunch or dinner; depending on what time of day Myrnin finds me." Myrnin was Claire's freaky vampire boss who she could swear had Multiple Personality Disorder I mean sheesh, one day he's your best friend then the next he wants to drain the life out of you- literally.
"Oh, alright, but hurry home." He gave her a quick kiss on the lips then she was off to work and he was off to the Glass House.
o-o-o-o
Work was uneventful, thankfully. Now she was off to the Glass House where she was hoping that dinner was somewhat edible tonight. I mean it's not like Eve Rosser, Michael Glass, and of course her boyfriend doesn't try, it's just that well they aren't the best at cooking.
When she walked through the kitchen door she found Eve in all of her Goth fabulousness in the kitchen cooking with her boyfriend standing behind her while she was stirring what appeared to be spaghetti sauce. "Hey CB, how was work?" Eve asked in her usual bubbly mood.
"Oh you know, the usual Myrnin is still bat-shit crazy and he's still trying to convince me that the only way to fix the portals is to hook it up to a human brain."
"Yup, sounds like Myrnin, why don't you sit down, dinner's almost ready." Michael said
"Alright, but first I'm gonna go get Shane." She walked up the stairs and knocked on his door. He opened the door looking somewhat stressed. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing, was there something you needed babe?" Shane asked.
"No, just dinner's ready." Shane was acting weird, I know it probably seemed like she was jumping to conclusions, but Shane never acts so distracted unless something is wrong.
"Alright, I'll be down in a minute."
SHANE'S POV
Shane turned around quickly and said: "You have to get out of here Michelle, Claire can't find out about us, it would break her, she already almost caught us when we were at Common Grounds and now here, I think she's getting suspicious. We have to find a different place to meet up.
"Alright honey, you just text me with the deets." Michelle said seductively.
"Okay, now you have to go, I've gotta go for dinner, or they'll start wondering where I am." Shane left the room knowing that when he came back Michelle would be gone…
Sorry about the short length, I wanted to leave it off as a cliff hanger type thing. PLEASE REVIEW it would really make my day
