Oh Mandy, Well you came and you gave without takin', but I sent you away, Oh Mandy, A horribly off key voice rang throughout the room as Charlotte, recently dubbed Charley by Jeremy fumbled to find her cell phone. Well you kissed me and stopped me from shakin', And I need you today, Oh Mandy- Charlotte finally answered the phone but Jeremy and herself were in a fit of laughter so she put it on speaker. As soon as her dad heard their laughter he groaned. "You still have me singing 'Mandy' for your ringtone don't you?" She giggled at her dad as the two younger ones stopped laughing.
"Yes dad I still have your rendition of 'Mandy' as my ringtone when you call but don't worry, Lindsey's is still that time he sang 'L.A. Song' after he fixed his strumming hand and I've got Lorne singing 'I will survive' for his." Jeremy burst out laughing and she smiled at him.
"Who is that?" Charlotte froze, oops.
"Um, dad this is Jeremy Gilbert Jeremy this is my dad Angel. Dad, don't go all 'scary I'm-also-known-as' on him." She could almost picture her father rolling his eyes.
"I was just going to inform him I was once known as Angelus and the Scrounge of Europe-." Charlotte cut him off.
"What did you call for dad?" Her father took a deep breath.
"Well, Spike is coming to check in on you and I'm letting him bring Lindsey but I swear if he makes another move on you-"Jeremy seemed unsettled by the fact someone had attempted to make a move on her.
"Ok dad, we get it. Tell them I can't wait. Goodbye." And with that she hung up on him. Jeremy drew her into his lap and kissed her softly, she responded and what they had been doing for the past few weeks started up again but this time instead of just kissing her he made his way down to her pulse point –or where a human's would be- and scraped his teeth against it, she leaned into him and he came back up to whisper in her ear.
"Bite me." She was alarmed.
"What- Jer, no way. I'm not biting you!" He looked her in the eye, dead serious.
"Charley, bite me. Right now, please bite me." He had guided her head to his neck and she drifted her lips across his skin meeting his eyes one more time to make sure before, as gently as possible she slipped her fangs into his vein and slowly drank a bit of his blood, mere drops at a time, making it last longer as he rubbed his hands along her legs, up to her blue jean shorts and back. She knew that it was like a drug when a vampire bit you and she knew he was in no pain, if anything he was feeling the best he has in his life. Jer kissed her neck, pulling her closer to him until she brought her fangs out of his vein, running her tongue over the holes; she had ended up only taking what would equal a teaspoon of blood. She had feared hurting him if she took more, after, he sat, relaxed on the couch with her in his lap, half-way asleep with her head resting in the crook of his neck, her mouth not far from where she bit him. Out of nowhere she stood up, "I can't do this, I have a boyfriend." Jer nodded understandingly and held her until she fell asleep.
