Hey!
Umm wow I wasn't expecting to get favourites, alerts and reviews so quickly.
And apparently I have a number one fan.
Ahahaha now I feel special!
So thank you!
I hope you enjoy this chapter!
:)
I raised my eyebrows and looked at him in wonder, waiting for him to laugh it off and tell me it was all a joke.
No such thing happened.
Silence hung in the air as none of us said a word. Soon enough I couldn't stand this awkwardness that was filling the hallway. So I did the only thing I would do in an awkward situation like this.
I laughed.
And not just like a little nervous giggle a girl does when a boy compliments her.
No, I mean like holding my stomach and gasping for air while toppled over laughing kind of thing.
He looked down at me, a little offended by my reaction to his "oh you are sooo in love with me" theory. I finally controlled myself and stood upright, wiping the tears out of my eyes. I sighed loudly and turned back to a furious fang staring me down; sparks of anger was practically flaring off of his ghostly body. I stumbled back a few steps, careful not to anger the beast.
"Oh my gosh you were serious?" My voice shook with fear as his eyes angrily burned into mine. Number one rule of living with a ghost. Especially boys. Do not ever wound their ego.
I swear that saying if looks could kill, well I'm not too far off of that right now. Soon enough I will be walking amongst the dead as well. Would I be as infuriating as fang is? God I hope not. Speaking of fang, where did he go? He was right in front of me and now he has disappeared.
"Uh fang?" I whispered quietly, trying hard not to startle my parents downstairs. I whipped my head around in all directions trying to catch a glimpse of him. But I couldn't find him. Ugh I hate it when he does this! It makes me so paranoid.
Is he here, is he watching me?
I can't even get changed without totally freaking that he may be watching me with a bucket of popcorn. I mean, it's a dream come true for a teenage boy to be able to watch girls getting changed without them noticing.
I of course would notice but he is amazingly good at hiding and is deadly silent when he moves.
Kind of like well, a ghost.
Ironic right?
But I still take my precautions.
Which he doesn't appreciate.
No need to explain why.
I'm sure we can all figure that puzzle out.
A ghostly chuckle (Hahahahaha ghostly...he's a ghost...Get it?) rang throughout my ears, pulling me away from my thoughts and back to reality.
"Where the hell are you?" I muttered under my breath so low I knew only he could hear me. This is just a game to him. And the sad thing is, I never win. But in my defence he has a huge advantage. He can just magically disappear randomly and then reappear a couple of meters away. It really isn't very fair.
"I'm right here." I let out a shriek and jumped back, instantly covering my mouth with my hands.
"Is everything okay sweetie?" my mother yelled up the stairs in a concerned voice. I walked towards the top of the staircase and yelled back down to her.
"Yeah, everything is fine, mum. I just thought I saw a... ghost." I swivelled my head around and glared at fang who was gracefully leaning against the wall with an amused look playing across his face. I rolled my eyes at him and walked down the stairs towards the kitchen.
"So, your still seeing these...ghosts?" my mum asked as I sat down across from her on the kitchen table. Wow, she sure knows how to start a conversation. I poured myself a glass of orange juice, avoiding her gaze as she looked at me sceptically.
"From time to time." I answered casually ignoring the disapproving look on her face.
Okay, so it wasn't the whole truth but at least I wasn't lying to her exactly. I just... left some important information out of it. There's no harm in that.
She sighed deeply and turned her attention back towards the newspaper in front of her.
"She really doesn't like me." Fang said staring directly at my mother with a hurtful look on his face.
"News flash Fang, no one likes you." I whispered back at him. He glared at me once before making his way over to her still figure. He stood beside her chair and took a closer look at her aging features.
"Wow, time has not be kind to her. How old is she? Like 70?" he asked twisting his face into a grimace. I crossed my arms angrily over my chest and raised my eyebrows.
"No, and how old are you smartarse?" I asked icily. He looked at me and smiled. "I'm not really sure. I lost count after the first 90 years." He walked over to the fruit bowel and pinched out an apple, playing with it in his hands before taking a bite.
"Eww and you expect me to fall in love with you how?" I took a sip of my juice and watched as he tapped his chin in thought before answering.
"Easy. With my amazingly good looks and charming personality." He said flashing me a smile. I spat the juice out of my mouth and coughed violently in the midst of laughing. My mum turned away from the paper and looked at me, totally lost.
"Are you okay?" I nodded slowly before standing up and walking towards the door.
"I'm off to school. Bye!" I yelled back before closing the door behind me and making my way towards my slowly aging truck.
The sweet summer air swirled around me, giving off a calm, relaxed vibe. I took a deep breath and smiled as the familiar senses took over my body, enveloping me in a peaceful state.
"Seriously, what was that all about?"
And yet, nothing good lasts forever.
And there you have it.
Chapter two of ghostly pleasures.
Hope y'all enjoyed it.
Reviews are very welcome (and wanted) :)
