AN: Just a quick little drabble that came to me today at work. Hope you all like it! First time I've written for Vampire Diaries.
I do not own Vampire Diaries. I'm just a fan-girl :) Enjoy!
No.
Not this time.
She would not let herself get carried away with another human. Not with the scars of last time still lingering.
Looking was fine. Perfectly acceptable. Lots of people look. It's not like she should gouge out her eyes in the fear that he may cross into her line of sight. No. There is absolutely nothing wrong with looking.
Touching was also okay, albeit tricky. But she could control herself, not a problem. Kissing, licking, sucking, fucking; all completely doable without issue. But no caressing, no holding, definitely no cuddling. That's where it all went wrong before and she will be damned to let it happen again.
The problem with that kind of touching is it always leads to one thing: thinking. Thinking is a huge no-no; it ruins everything. To allow his image to run through her mind unchecked would be asking for trouble. She, for one, did not have a death wish. Don't think about him. It's just that easy!
…perhaps she should just stay away from him; leave Mystic Falls again, go back on the open road. She could start hunting again. Maybe that was her problem. It had been much too long since her last fresh meal. All this cold blood was messing with her mind. There would be no curious thoughts of him if she had been feeding properly. Then it's settled. She'll leave at first light and not return again for another hundred years, never to see him again.
But his eyes are so blue…
