Brian's POV
I find it strange that the guys who give the best head taste so… bitter. Then again it's always hard to find a tasty meal at Babylon, but at least you can always find a good fuck. After I finish feeding on… who ever this is (can't remember his name) I wipe my mouth. "Now you should go home and rest, oh and forget about me biting you. And draining you of blood" I say compelling him. He repeats me (the only annoying thing about compulsion) then leaves the bathroom stall.
I look at my watch its four o'clock in the morning, "well Kinney third night in a row, you've stayed away" I say to myself. Third night in a row that I've been able to stay away from Justin. I sigh frustrated and run my fingers through my hair. How can a seventeen year old boy haunt me so much? I leave the bathroom and head to my jeep.
I remember the first time I saw him. I was driving home from work and made the mistake of looking out my window. And there he was in his sexy school uniform, talking with his friend Daphne. Then he laughed, it was the first time I saw that incredible smile of his. I hop in my jeep and drive home. After I saw him that day I followed him the rest of the day. I even spent the night on the roof of his house listening to him sleep. Talk about pathetic, I park and head upstairs.
When I get in my loft I take my clothes off and, turn the shower on as hot as it goes. Even after feeding at Babylon I'm still hungry, and being hungry means feeling cold. Feeling death (since I sort of am dead). Maybe that's why I'm so drawn to Justin, because he's so – shit I should've left this kid alone. I've been obsessing over this kid for about four or five months now. I even started doing something that, in all my hundreds and hundreds of years as a vampire I've never done. I've been visiting Justin in his dreams, months and months of basically… dating this kid. Maybe if he wasn't so… sweet. Wait sweet? Since when do I use words like sweet?
This kid is really stuck in my head. The worst part is that I don't mind it. I should stay away from him, I'm not good for him. Unfortunately I've never been good at not doing whatever (or whoever) I want. Three nights without stalking him or visiting him in his dreams. I hate to admit it but I sort of miss him, I brush my teeth and get dressed. After making some coffee I grab my stuff for work and leave. Maybe I'll check in on Justin at lunch, and pay him a visit tonight. While I'm driving my cell rings its Emmett.
"What?!" I say putting it on speaker.
"So you're alive Teddy and I wanted to wait for you, but we figured you left. What time did you get in?" he asks.
"Got home about an hour or two ago, showered made some coffee. Now I'm on my way to work" I tell him.
"Shit, Brian even as a vampire I don't know how you do it" he says
"And you never will"
"Are we still on for tonight?" he asks
"You boys will have to drink without me, I have plans" I say.
"This is the hundredth time you've bailed on us, you've been acting sketchy for months. If I didn't know you better I'd think that you have a secret boyfriend or something"
"Well it's a good thing you know me then, talk to you later" I say hanging up on him.
The only thing about knowing someone for hundreds of years is that they can tell when you're hiding something. And knowing Emmett he'll start digging. Then everyone will know, and that's the last thing I need. I park then go inside the building, only six hours until lunch.
A few hours Later
It amazes me how easy it is to sneak onto St. James academy campus. You'd think that as a private school they'd have some type of security. I find Justin and his friend Daphne sitting outside in their usual spot. Their talking so I adjust my hearing so I can hear what their saying.
"Still no appearance from your mystery guy?" Daphne asks him
"no and today makes three days. Maybe I'm just going crazy, he's probably just a figment of my imagination" he says.
"Hey no quitter talk, you said he's real. And you're like the most logical person I know. So if you think he's real then I believe you" she says.
"Well then logically I think I should see a shrink" he says. I can't help but laugh.
"We'll let that be plan B, maybe he has a reason for not visiting"
"like what?"
"Well if he is real then he has to have some type of life. You know a job, friends, maybe he's just busy" she says.
Well I knew this was going to happen. The lad's a genius, I knew he was going to figure out that I'm real. And knowing him he'll come looking for me sooner rather than later.
"Any new theories on how he's in your dreams in the first place?" Daphne asks.
"No and frankly I don't care anymore" he says. Uh oh I don't like where this is headed
"to busy falling in love huh" she teases.
"I never said that" he says
"well you do, don't you?" she asks him. He looks down and smiles
"I don't know maybe, but for the sake of my sanity. I think I'll answer that after we prove he's real" he says. The bell rings letting them know lunch is over.
"You still coming over after school?" she asks.
"Yea, I mean it's not like we could talk about this at my house" he says standing up.
"You should just tell your parents all ready" she says annoyed.
"Yea if I told my parent's that I'm gay they'd kill me" he says as they go back into the school.
"A little old for high school aren't we" Lindsey says surprising me.
"You know it's not smart to sneak up on a vampire" I say turning to face her.
"And it's creepy for a thirty- oh sorry twenty-nine year old man to be lurking around a high school" Lindsey says.
"Oh please I've never been thirty, and I haven't been twenty-nine in centuries"
"it's weird that I understood that and that it made sense to me" she says. "So you really like Justin huh?"
"So it would seem" I say. Lindsey found out about my obsession because she's Justin's art teacher, and apparently he's been drawing me.
"So why don't you talk to him. Since when does Brian Kinney deny himself something he wants? And don't tell me you don't want him because if you didn't you wouldn't be here" she says.
"You know why" I say quietly
"oh I see... Brian it's been years since-"
"you don't know him" I say cutting her off.
"Michael hasn't made an appearance in years. What makes you think he'd pop up now" she says putting her hand on my shoulder. Part of me wants to believe her, hell part of me does believe her.
"You know a good teacher would try to prevent a relationship like this" I say.
"Despite your best efforts I know you're a good guy Brian. If I didn't we'd be having a totally different conversation" she says. Lindsey, just like Emmett insists that underneath all my bullshit is a good guy. Which annoys me considering how hard I work to hide that. "So will we be seeing you tonight or do you have plans?" she asks smiling.
