Hey guys so this is the first chapter to this Claire X Myrnin story, dont like the pairing then feel free to read but don't say anything like 'Shane + Claire 4 eva!' because its ok to love Claire X Shane but don't give me hate about it! xD For those that dont mind the paring then please feel free to read and review and favorite and alert xD
This chappy wont be as good as the ones to come because its always hard to kick start off the story so please hang in there and wait until the next ones :)
Not so regrettable regrets
(Claire POV)
My shoulder ached from constantly hefting around my backpack, I lifted my other arm and slowly caressed in between my shoulder blade and neck, I was in desperate need of a good massage (will have to mention it to Shane later). I was stood in the midmorning Texan sun looking down the alley that led to my demanding job and my crazy-ass vampire boss (If it wasn't for the amazing physics opportunities and the 5 figure number in my bank account, I would have quit a long time ago!).
My cell phone started chiming irritably the Twilight Zone theme; I fished around in my jeans pockets looking for it. When I finally found it in my backpack it had stopped ringing, a box was on the screen stating I had a miss call off Myrnin. I rolled my eyes as the phone started chiming again "What do you want Myrnin?" I sighed
"You are late" He bluntly stated (by 2 minutes may I add!)
"I'm outside the lab now" I said even though it wasn't strictly true
"Really? You are right outside the lab right now?" He asked
"Yes"
"No you're not"
"Yes I am"
"Nope" He says popping the p
"Yes!" I said exasperated and getting really annoyed
The conversation carried on for a few minutes before I realised that he was stood in the shadows of the lab shack. "Crap" I muttered before pitching up my backpack and shutting off the call. Myrnin must off spotted me looking at him as he smiled a slightly manic looking smile, that always scares me, and beckoned me over. I mumbled some more before trudging down the alley and into the 'trap door spider's' lair.
As I reached him I noticed his eyes widened as he took in my new appearance. I looked down suddenly self-conscience and wrapped my arms around my faded black crop top. Before he had rang me and demanded I was to come over me and Eve had been having a bit of a makeover, my now longish hair had been died blacker and a purple stripe down the front, I didn't like it that much, it was too extravagant for me, but Eve had said it would wash out soon and that I didn't have to do the washing up until it was gone.
Myrnin smirked "Well, my, my, little Claire look at the state of you!"
"Shut up Myrnin! It's not like you're the best-dressed vampire in Morganville!" I snapped trying to hide the fact I wasn't too sure of the outfit or make up that consisted of a faded black crop top and skinny black jean lots of bracelets and purple high-top converse, thicker eyeliner then i would usually wear and (insanely) blood red lipstick; shoving him away from the lab entrance and storming in.
(Myrnin POV)
I chuckled but once Claire's back was turned I looked down and checked what I was wearing. Tight black leather pants and a turquoise waistcoat on top of a bright purple shirt (the same colour of Claire's new hair) and of course my fanged bunny slippers and some multi-coloured beads, it was a perfect outfit! To say she is clever she really doesn't know a well-dressed man when she sees one, not like she can talk with the strange hair (who in the right mind would have purple hair!) I shook the silly doubts of my fashion sense away and followed her inside.
Claire was holding a shiny pan up to her face and was prodding the sides of her eyes where her fairly thick eyeliner ended and dabbed her fingers over the bright red lipstick. My mind wondered as I wondered what she would look like if it was real blood. I smiled at his picture, god knows why i imagined it, and then composed myself when I realised Claire was looking at me with a confused look.
"What we doing today then?" She asked dumping her bag on the floor and bounding over to me. I remembered what I had just made and was suddenly excited to show her.
"Oh yes! Come I have something I believe will fascinate you!" I jumped up and zoomed over to a metal tin holding it up in the air, proud of the new invention, especially as it was edible
"Well that's very good but what is it?" She said in a ridiculing tone
"Ah, let us see if you can guess" I teased handing her the tin
She opened it very slowly and I gazed at her slightly worried look on her face. (Why she would be worried I don't know I've only accidentally nearly blown her up twice!)
(Claire POV)
I studied the tin properly before deciding it looked safe enough to open. Slowly I pried the lid of the tin inch by inch, not too keen on having a repeat of that UV bomb or the two actual explosives. I can feel Myrnin behind me bouncing, his excited energy radiating into me making me smile a little. Myrnin had finally had enough as he ripped the tin out of my hands and ripped off the lid and gave me back the product inside.
I looked at what seemed to be just a red sherbet… but what was that smell!
I lent closer to sniff it, it smelt like Coke and toasted marshmallows and well sherbet. I sneeze suddenly (that type of sneeze that you can't tell if it was a sneeze or Myrnin had in fact booby trapped the tin) sending some of the sherbet into the air and to stick to my face. I laugh and lick my lips tasting the divine tastes I could smell before. I spin round to look at Myrnin, shocked he has made something that (granted it's not necessary) didn't blow up and it was edible, something I never thought I would ever associate with my crazy bi-polar vamp boss!
I look up at him and say excitedly "Is this sherbet? Wait, is this edible? I'm not gonna die now I've eaten some am I?" My eyes wide and gleaming and a massive grin plastered on my face, almost matching his manic smile he was giving me.
"Yes, little Claire, it is exactly that. And don't be absurd of course it's edible!" He says "I knew you had an obsession seen as you talked about how you and that boy had it with ice-cream and I thought it would be nice for us to have a day off and have some ice-cream, so I've made sherbet with your favourite flavors" He announces in his usual quirky self. I couldn't help but realise how sweet that was for him to know I ADORE sherbet and to do that flavor!
I was stood there in amaze at this strange little outburst, I mean I'm use to him climbing walls and keeping pet spiders (May Bob R.I.P), not noticing little, sentimental things. I quickly compose myself as I'm not too sure why I was so touched and then suddenly realise "But we have no ice cream!"
At this he just chuckles "Little Claire do you really think I would forget the necessities" And that's exactly what I would expect, just not say when he has just made a tin load of amazing sherbet. He quickly dashes off leaving me to wipe the rest of the stuff off my face. A minute later he re-enters the lab with two massive bowls full of ice cream, which I am quick to cover in super sherbet!
OoOoO
About 30 minutes later and I'm literally bouncing off the walls whilst Myrnin is sat on the sofa laughing uncontrollably. I plonk my bowl on a lab bench after my 4th bowl of super sherbet (we agreed that that shall be its name) ice cream. I didn't know what it was but there was some type of drug in there because I was currently clinging to my shoes so I wouldn't float away!
My phone buzzed and I staggered over to see Shane trying to ring me. "Who's ringing? Is it Shaaaaane? Does he want you to get away from the big nasty trap-door spider?" Myrnin mocks; I just hold a finger to my lips and answer it.
"Hello Shane" I greet trying to act normal
"Claire where the hell are you…" He starts angrily but I don't listen to the rest because I'm trying to hold back giggles as Myrnin is creeping around on the floor pretending to be a spider
"Stop it" I giggle kicking him, then realising I just cut Shane off "Erm sorry Shane what… what did you erm say?" I say holding back yet more laughs as Myrnin is now led crying on the floor after reminding himself of poor Bob.
"Just get home Claire!" Shane shouts before shutting off the call
I look at Myrnin and try to lift him up "Come on, I need to go and your too heavy to carry and I need a portal!" I say setting him on his feet and then picking up my backpack heading for the portal door
"Very well my dear" He says and dramatically sweeps his arm over and the portal appears and I step through it and into the Glass house living room (and a very angry Shane!)
Shane grabs my arm and yanks me forward, then he grabs Myrnin and does the same to him so I am now stood swaying into Myrnin and facing Shane. "What the HELL is going on between you two" He shouts making me flinch and almost fall backwards if not for Myrnin's arm supporting my back.
"N… Nothing! I stutter but he clearly doesn't believe me even though its true
"Bullshit! You two are having an affair aren't you?" He demands, very loudly (Gosh does he not know what an inside voice is!)
"No Shane we are not, we merely had sherbet when you rang" Myrnin informs him
"But I heard you giggling… You know what I don't want to know!" He shouts (Again!)
"For God's sake Shane" I stress getting really annoyed with him "Would it make you happy if there was something going on? Hum?" I spin round quickly and grab Myrnin by the front of his waistcoat and pull him down kissing him deeply just to give Shane what he wants and prove nothing's going on, not too sure how i expected that to work, not realising how good it would actually feel to do so.
The kiss come to an abrupt end as Shane's fist connects with Myrnin's jaw surprising him enough to send him back on his back and long enough for Shane to pounce.
Shit don't think that kiss worked like I thought!
Yes a little strange I know but what will be revealed in the next chapter is that Myrnin put Ecstasy in the sherbet, but he didnt mean too!
Hehehehehehehe
Anyway please do review even if i suck! but dont favorite or alert without a review pleeeeeeeaaaaaaaasse!
