Author's Note: This is my first Morganville Vampire's Fanfiction. It is not my first fanfic, though. I'm a huge fan of Eve and Michael in this series. I do not own the characters only Rachel Caine does nor do I take credit for the title. The title "Coma White" is a Marilyn Manson song. All the titles will come from bands because I tend to write with music playing in the background. I hope you enjoy! I can't wait for "Fade Out"!
A bright light somehow managed to leak through my dark black curtains. I angrily rolled over and pulled my pillow over my head. I did not want to go to work today. In fact, I just wanted to stay in my bed. My room offered a safe haven from the world outside. It also kept me from having to remember about all the crazy shit that's been going down lately. Things in Morganville were never the greatest but now it seems like it's manifested into something worse. I heard footsteps outside my door and then a banging.
"Hey sleeping beauty! Get your ass up or you're going to be late for work!"
I rolled my eyes and gave up on any last chance of sleep. "I've got an idea. You go to work for me Shane!"
He laughed and opened my door. "Not happening. There's no way in hell I'm going to TPU for any reason."
I leaned up and rubbed my eyes. "You do realize that you're gonna have to get a job someday right?"
"Of course. Just not today." He flashed me a smile and moved some of his messy brown hair out of his face.
"Where's Claire?"
"She's downstairs helping Michael make breakfast. Michael sent me up to wake you."
"Fine. I'll be down in twenty." I waited until Shane left and dragged myself out of my warm bed. I went to my closet and glanced at my clothes. I decided on a black and purple shirt and a black tank top with a skull and crossbones. I loved my clothes. I also grabbed a pair of black tights and my kick ass Mary Janes and headed toward the shower.
Twenty minutes later, I walked down stairs. My makeup was flawless and my hair was pulled back into two ponytails. Michael smiled at me as I made my way into the kitchen. He kissed me gently and handed me a cup of coffee.
Claire waltzed in with a smile on her face not to mention her lips were a tad swollen. She and Shane must have been saying their good mornings.
"Morning Claire Bear!" I smiled and took a sip of my coffee. "You look bright and perky this morning." I gave her a wink.
She blushed and headed for the fridge and pulled out a coke. Shane came in a few moments later. I grinned. "I love your new shade of lipstick Shane. Is that the Passion Kisses color?"
Shane flipped me off and I just laughed. "See Michael, this is why we should have just let Eve stay in bed."
Michael smiled. "She's the only one bringing in an income."
Shane rolled his eyes. "Whatever."
I glanced at the clock and sighed. "Okay CB, you ready?" I drove us both to TPU everyday. I'm not too keen on her walking the streets in Morganville even though she's Protected by Amelie.
Claire nodded. "Yep, I'm ready. I have a major test today."
"You'll be fine."
I leaned down and kissed Michael. "Do you need anything?" I asked after pulling away. Michael was now a vampire and he sometimes had us bring him some blood home. Actually us meaning Claire. She had access to it easier than I did.
"No, I'm good." He kissed me once more. "Just come home safe."
I nodded. I basically had to pull Claire off Shane and we stepped outside. The sun was already blazing and the heat felt massive. We made our way to my car and Claire called shotgun. I laughed.
"You're getting better."
Claire laughed as well. "Yeah, you know how Shane is about getting the front seat." I put in the Marilyn Manson CD in my player and sang the entire way to work. Claire just ignored me and my fascination with Manson. I pulled in my normal parking spot and Claire and I stepped out of the car.
There were already tons of students walking to class. Some were couples holding hands and making out. Others glanced toward me and frowned. I just shot them my best 'fuck you' smile and gave Claire a hug.
"I'll see you at your break!"
"Yep. Later Eve."
"Later CB!" I casually walked to the Student Union building and headed right for the coffee shop. My boss was already there. He smiled at me as I got my apron. I returned his smile. He was a strange man but at least he wasn't a vampire, unlike my former boss at Common Grounds. When I found out Oliver was a vampire, I was pretty shocked. Then I found out he was the one that had tried to turn Michael into a vampire. Only that mission failed and Michael became a ghost. So help me, if I learn that my new boss is on the bloodsucking team, I'm driving a stake through his heart and swearing off working in coffee shops forever.
Work was rather slow and I was able to listen to my iPod while I cleaned tables and swept. I glanced over at the clock and realized that Claire should be coming in soon. I walked back behind the counter and replaced my iPod back in my coffin bag. I pulled a cold soda out of our small fridge and opened it. I don't like drinking coffee at work. Besides, soda made me happy and perky. I was about to find something else to do when I happened to see Monica and her loser wannabes walking in.
"OH look girls!" Monica's voice oozed with sweetness you'd use on someone that was about to die. "They let the freak show keep working."
"Actually." I replied leaning against the counter. "The freak show just walked in. Oh wait! I forgot, you guys would scare the freak show away!"
"Shut up Rosser and just give me my coffee."
I so badly wanted to throw her coffee right in her face, scorching water and all! Of course that form of action would have disastrous results. She'd call her precious daddy and he'd call the vamps. I'd be killed for sure. Damn, oh well, I wonder if she'd notice if I spit in it? I silently made her coffee and when I went to hand it to her, my hands accidentally slipped and the coffee landed right on her designer shirt.
"YOU BITCH!" Monica screamed.
"Damn, I'm so clumsy." I replied and grabbed a towel. "Here let me help."
"You're gonna pay for this you gothic freak!"
"Put it on my tab." I smiled as she strode off in fury with her friends in tow. Claire happened to approach me.
"That by far was the most amusing thing I've seen so far today!" Claire said laughing. "Man Eve, I wish I had a video camera. That was priceless!" She gave me a high five.
"I'm taking a break!" I told my boss after I made Clair her usual drink. I grabbed my soda and we headed to a table to talk. "So, how was the test?"
"Too easy." Claire said after taking a sip.
"So what's next in Clair land?"
"I have stuff to do for Amelie and then I'm done for the day. You?"
"I'm hoping to get to bail out early. Things have been extremely slow."
"You can always throw more coffee at Monica and her cronies!"
I laughed. "So true! That was definitely the highlight of my day! Actually that might be the highlight of the year!"
"Don't let Michael hear you say that, he might feel jealous."
I could feel a blush coming on. Damn, that man had a great body and he sure knew exactly how to use it to it's greatest potential!
"Um earth to Eve. You're in escaping into Michael fantasy land."
I shook my head and tried to get the images of Michael's sexy body out of my mind. At least for now while I was at work.
"Sorry, but you know how it is."
"Yeah." Her eyes widened. "I mean I know how it is with Shane."
We talked for a while longer until a third person reached our table. Claire and I both glanced up and standing before us was no other than Amelie.
"Hi." Claire replied. "Um, did I do something wrong?"
Amelie's hair was pulled back and she had on a cream white suit. "Actually, I came to talk to your dear friend Eve."
I'm sure I looked surprised. "Me? Why?"
"I'm afraid I have some terrible news for you."
I didn't like the way she was staring at me. It's like she was trying to dissect my entire being. "What?"
"I came to tell you that you are no longer allowed to continue dating Michael Glass. In fact, you are no longer allowed to remain living in the Glass House as of today."
My happy world just took a turn toward hell.
