Beautiful Things Can Happen In Morganville Too

This is my first fanfic, hope you like it. I don't own Morganville Vampires or any of the charachters in this story. That privledge goes to Rachel Cain sadly. Also I am sorry for any spelling and grammer mistakes.

~~Claire P.O.V.~~~~~~

I was laying in bed after waking up tp my alarm clock goiing off. It was seven in the morning and I had to be at class in one hour. I roll over and look at Shane's sleeping form. How he can sleep through my alarm clock is something I still can't figure out.

I lay there watching him sleep. All the pain, worry, and anger is gone from his face. He looks so peaceful when he sleeps. I take him in from his shaggy brown hair to his toned body. I still cannot believe that a guy like him would go for a girl like me. I am not very pretty or have runway features like some of the girls I am sure he has dated. Yet he still makes me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world. I know that there is no better guy for me than him.

Slowly I reach over and tough his cheek. I run my fingures threw his hair and he stirs. Scooting closer I place a kiss on his bare shoulder. I feel arms wrap around me and look up to see him opening his eyes to look down at me.

"Good morning." I say to him looking up threw my lashes. He kisses my forehead and I lay my head on his chest.

"Morning." He says in a sleep huskey voice. I kiss his chest and his arms tighten around me but then he pulls slightly away. Dissapointed I look up only to have his lips meet mine. Instantly my body reacts to him and my lips part, Shane moaned as he deepened the kiss. I knew I should get up and get ready, but I never wanted this to end. I felt shane's hands roaming up my back, inching closer to my bra clasp. I could stay here in Shane's arms all day happy and content, or I could go to college and raise my B up to an A again.

Sighing I pull away, not compleatly, but providing much need space. He looked down at me dissapointment filling his face, but his eyes were wild.

"What's wrong?"

I sigh and say, "I have to be at the college in an hour."

He pulls me into him once more. "Stay here please." His lips brush my ears as he speaks.

"I can't, I have school." even as I said it I knew that staying in his arms would make me forget all about college.

Shane kissed the spot below my ear. "So. You can always skip. It's not like missing a day will matter much with you being a genious and all." I shivered as his breath brused my neck and he grinned. He knew he was winning, but it wasn't fair because he knows what I like.

"I can't, I have a B from not showing up because I was fighting for our lives. I have to go." I sounded weak even to me.

Shane didn't bother to respond. He just kissed my neck and lightly sucked on that spot that always makes me melt in his arms. I felt him smile; he knew he had won.

Just as I was giving in there was a knock on my door. "Claire I'm going to work soon! If you want a ride you better hury up!" Eve yelled from the other side of the door. I used the distraction to slip out of Shane's arms and off the bed. Shane's head fell back against the pillow as he accepted defeat. I went to my closet and found a t-shirt and jeans. A quick glance at Shane showed he had his arm over his eyes. I put on mu clothes and walked over to the bed. I grabbed a pillow that had been on the ground and threw it at him.

"Hey what was that for?" I had to laugh.

"For being lazy. Get up I have to leave soon."

Sighing heavely he said, "FIne, but you owe me."

I walked out of my room, down the stairs, and to the kitchen. Micheal was sitting at the table with a mug of coffee and the paper in hand. He looked up and gave me a small smile before sipping his coffee.

"Hey Claire, Happy Birthday." I stopped and relized that today was my birthday. I was nineteen at last. How I survived this long in Morganville is a mystery.

"Thanks. Where's Eve?" As if on que, Eve came busting in from the living room.

"Happy birthday Claire Bear!" Eve gave me a hug and planted a kiss on my cheek no doubt leaving a vivid red mark.

Eve was dressed in a black tank top with a smily face with fangs on it and a black and grey skirt with black fishnet leggings and her boots. Her makeup was much the same. black eyes and blood red lips. She left her hair down to show off the newly added blue streak.

"Here you go." Eve handed her a small black box with red wrapping and a black bow. I ripped open the wrapping and looked in the box then blushed a furious red. Inside it reveled lace and slik in black, red, or both. Eve had gotten me super lingerie. I knew the wrapping paper would cover more.

"Eve!" I shouted at her. She smiled and Micheal raised a questioning eyebrow.

"What? I know fpr a fact that you don't own anything like this. You'll thank me later."

Micheal shook his head and laughed. I turned my glare on him. "Did you know about this?"

He raised his hands and shook his head, " No that was all Eve. I got you something less...interesting." This one was wrapped in pink and didn't have a bow. I opened it and looked inside. It was an album of photos taken from before Morganville and after I moved in. I stopped on one picture of me and Shane. We were hugging and he was kissing the top of my head while i smiled like a teenager in love. It was easy to tell that we didn't know the picture was taken.

"Where did you get these?" I asked Micheal.

"Your mom emailed them to me. That one has to be my favorite picture of the two of you. In all the time i have known Shane he has never been more comfortable than when he is with you, You bring out the best in him Claire." My eyes were watery and both Eve and Micheal came over to hug me.

"Wow, why is everyone hugging my girlfriend in the middle of the kitchen but me?"

We broke free and I hugged Shane then showed him the album. He smiled than pulled me into the same embrace as the picture. "Happy birthday Claire." I smiled and pressed a kiss to his shoulder. we stepped away from each other and I noticed that Eve, Micheal, and Eve;s presant were all gone.

"So I was thinking that later tonight we could go out. Get dinner, see a movie. something to celebrate your birthday. What do you say?"

"I would love to, but right now I have to leave."

"Yeah. Don't worry I didn't forget your presant, I just want to give it to you tonight. And belive me, It will be a big surprise." I stood up on my toes to kiss him.

"I can't wait."

Eve came in and we left. She asked me what she thought Shane was going to give me. I told her that I had no idea, but somehow I knew it was going to be really good. I was still thinking about it as I walked to my first class. What could Shane get me that would be as surprising as he says? Oh well, I willk see tonight.

Thank you again for taking time to read this. I also want to apologize again for bad spelling. Your reviews are welcome and in fact are encouraged. I don't tend to take long when writing so I may have the next chapter up by next week unless i have things happening that stop me from writing. Thank you all. Shane Collins 3 :p
