I was laying on my back my head hanging off my bed watching Kramisha argue with the Twins about which Sak's sale was better. I was watching them with a smile on my face when I felt the now familiar pressure of one of the Twins pushing their thoughts into my brain.
You like her don't you Cowgirl? My eyes flitted to Erin as she glanced at me with a knowing smile on her face. I rolled my eyes at her before replying.
What on earth makes you think that?
You have that stupid puppy love look on your face.
I do not.
Georgia and Kramisha sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G . First comes love-
I swear to the Goddess Erin I will call water to fucking douse you.
She was holding back giggles while I sent her angry glares. It was early Saturday morning we had just finished class and I was waiting for the sun to come up to call Grandma Redbird. I sat up and flopped off the bed and walked towards the bathroom.
"White girl where you goin?" Kramisha said turning around to look at me. I smiled at the name, that's all she'd been calling me since we met two weeks ago.
"To get something to eat. You wanna come?" I said with a smile. "I'm covering my Mark and heading for the IHOP uptown."
Grandma had brought my truck and the things she bought me a few days ago before taking a taxi home. Kramisha grinned.
"You mean I can eat something besides all the health shit they've got here? I am so in. Let me go change clothes and I be right back." She stood up and walked towards me the Twins watching her every move like a hawk. She glanced at them before leaning in to whisper in my ear. "You taking me on a date white girl?"
My cheeks flushed and she was gone before I could say anything and a giddy smile overtook my face. The Twins were giggling like a couple of school girls.
"What?" I snapped sure my face was as red as a lobster.
"You liiiiiikkkeeee heeerrrr-"
"-Cowgirl wants to ride into the sunset-"
"-with Kramisha!"
Water come to me. I felt the element rush around me excitedly, spring mist brushing across my skin. Soak the Twins.
The twins shrieked as the element soaked them to the bone. I was laughing so hard I didn't notice Kramisha come back into the room until she grabbed my arm.
I screamed. Loudly. Like a little girl met with a giant spider.
Kramisha laughed loudly as I trying to keep my heart from beating out of my chest. The Twins were still shrieking over their now ruined hair while Kramisha used me to hold herself up. My cheeks were even redder than before as I watched Kramisha laughing with joy. Once she calmed down she looked up at me with a smile.
"You're cute when you blush White Girl." My heart fluttered and my cheeks got hotter.
"I-uh-I'm gonna go cover my Mark." I stuttered quickly before rushing into the bathroom. I heard Kramisha chuckling behind me as I closed the door.
Ride that pony cowgirl! Shaunee's voice poured through my mind and I huffed.
"Get her water." I giggled when I heard Shaunee scream again, followed by Kramisha's laughter.
Thanks Water, Go play now! Water washed over me joyfully and disappeared.
"GEORGIA I SWEAR TO GODDESS!" I quickly covered my mark and rushed into my room. I grabbed my purse and then Kramisha's arm dragging her towards the door.
"Bye guys! We'll see you later!" I yelled darting out the door and running down the hall with Kramisha stumbling along with me laughing. She shook her arm from my grip before grabbing my hand and squeezing it. My pulse raced as she smiled at me brightly as the twins screamed behind us.
"Come on White Girl! Let's go! They're on a warpath after that!" She said with a huge grin. We ran out the front door of the dorm our laughter filling the quiet night around us. Goddess thank you for Marking such an amazing girl, she's incredible. I sent up the quiet thanks as I watched Kramisha under the moonlight. The gentle light of the moon danced on her toffee skin making her glow, her eyes sparkled with mischief as we darted across campus like a couple of bandits in the night. This night was perfect.
Kramisha sat next to me in the middle of the bench seat in my truck fiddling with the radio as I drove through the early morning traffic of Tulsa. She hummed along to the song on the radio making me smile.
"So White Girl is this a date or what?" She asked cheerily. I bit my lip nervously.
"If you want it to be." I said glancing over at her. A small smile hung on her plump lips and her hand slid onto my knee.
"Then I guess its a date Doll Face." I grinned as she squeezed my knee softly.
"You know when we first met I beat myself up for flirting because I had no clue if you even liked girls."
"Girl I like pretty people. And you White Girl, are pretty people." She said lightly and I smiled.
"So that's why you like me? Because I'm pretty people?" I asked snarkily and she smacked my leg.
"Girl you know there's more to it than that."
"Like what?" I asked biting my lip.
"That." She said and I felt her hand on my face. Her fingers brushed my lip and my lips parted. "You bite your lip when you're nervous, and you play with your hair when you're thinking. You blush, like all the time. I like that."
"You're awfully observant." I muttered as I parked the car in the IHOP parking lot. I took my hands from the steering wheel and looked over at her quietly.
"I am. I also know that you are incredibly gifted. There's more to you than meets the eye White Girl." Hey brown eyes were watching me closely as I took in her words.
"I notice things about you too. You bite the end of your pencil when you're writing. Your eyes light up when you laugh, you actually like my stupid pick up lines. You love to argue with the Twins about shoes. You get lost in the music you listen to when you read your classic lit for Lit class."
"You do notice things." She said softly leaning closer to me and my heart leapt into my throat. "Have you noticed something else?"
"What?"
"How much I like..." She leaned in and pressed her lips to my ear. "to eat pancakes?"
She laughed loudly before bailing out of the truck and racing across the parking lot towards the restaurant leaving me grinning like an idiot in the drivers seat. She was absolutely amazing. I grabbed my purse and ran to join her at the door. She laughed as I jogged up and slapped her on the arm.
Kramisha took my hand leading my inside. The hostess placed us in a booth leaving us with our menus. I watched her closely as she rested her chin on her hand and flipped through the menu. Her hair was curling around her face beautifully and I couldn't help but stare at her. She glanced up at me and the side of her mouth tilted up in a smirk.
"Like what you see White Girl?" She said slowly making me squirm under her gaze.
"Of course I do, you're beautiful." I said a blush rising in my cheeks. She smiled brightly.
"You aren't to bad on the eyes either Doll Face." I smiled and looked down at the menu to see what I wanted to eat.
Finally deciding on a stack of chocolate chip pancakes I sit the menu to the side and pull out my phone to see what time it was. 4:45 am. Another hour and I could call Grandma. The waitress arrives to take our orders and deliver our drinks.
"Who you waiting to call? I heard you and the Tweebs talking about it." She said closing her menu and taking a sip of her lemonade.
"My Grandma. I'm adopted and I came to Oklahoma to find my birth family. My mom didn't want anything to do with me, she slammed the door in my face. Then I found Grandma Redbird. She welcomed me with open arms. I call her a few times a week."
She smiled sweetly and nodded.
"What's she like?"
"Amazing. She owns a lavender farm." I gushed and her smile brightened. "She talks to me about anything and everything. She updates me on my siblings, they don't know I exist but anyway, she gave me the lavender plant I have in my room."
"I noticed that and I wondered what it was."
"I could see if she could bring one for you when she comes for family visit next week."
She looked up at me her brown eyes glistening.
"You think she'd do that?" I nod enthusiastically as I brush my hair out of my face.
"I know she would! She loves kids."
"We're not really kids White Girl." She said with a smirk that made me squirm in my seat.
"Tell that to my Grandma." I whispered.
"I think I will." She said grinning as she leaned her arms on the table. The waitress arrived with our food. I drown my pancakes in syrup and dig in a low moan escaping my mouth as the chocolate and syrup dance across my tongue. I look up and Kramisha is staring at me with a sultry look on her face that set my whole body on fire. "Keep that up White Girl and I may have to come over their and see what all the hub bub is over those pancakes."
My cheeks flushed and I looked down at my plate in embarrassment. I tried to remain silent but I guess I slipped up because without me noticing Kramisha got up and slid into my side of the booth pressing up against my side. I jumped and looked over at her. She had an expectant look on her face as she placed her hand on my knee. I picked up my fork and offered it to her shyly. Kramisha leaned over her eyes never leaving mine and closed her lips over the fork. As she took her bite of pancake a soft moan left her lips and I shivered.
"You're right White Girl those are some damn good pancakes." She smirked at me as she moved back to her side of the booth.
"You like to tease people don't you Kramisha?"
"That I do White Girl." Her laughter filled my ears making me feel warm and fuzzy. We finished eating in silence, only stealing the occasional glance at one another. Once we paid she pulled me from the booth and out into the parking lot. She wrapped her arms around my arm and pulled me closer to her. I leaned my head over onto her shoulder as we walked to the truck. She sighed contentedly and a smile found its way to my face. When we get to the truck we climb in and she slides to the middle pressing against my side with her hand on my thigh.
We're quiet on the way back to the school nothing but our breathing and the radio in the background. I reached down and laced my fingers with hers. She squeezed my hand lightly and turned her head to lean in and press her lips against my cheek. I was on cloud nine all the way back to school. When we arrived Neferet was in the parking lot waiting for us arms crossed. We looked at one another with identical grimaces on our faces. I gulped as we climbed out of the truck and walked towards her.
"Girls."
"Neferet." We said softly.
"Georgia I know you haven't been here long, but Kramisha you know you have to let a Vampyre know if you are leaving campus. You know it's dangerous."
"I know. We only went to IHOP and back Neferet." Kramisha said stepping closer to me. Neferet noted this and smiled knowingly.
"Next time let someone know you're going out." She said gently and disappeared. I stared after her the dark feeling lingering in my gut yet again. I sighed lightly and turned to Kramisha.
"Don't worry about her White Girl. Let's finish our date. It's almost sunrise." She said smiling. I took her hand and we walked across the grounds. We headed for the east wall just enjoying one another's company. We climbed the wall and sat with our sides pressed together to watch the Sunrise. I laid my head over on her shoulder and she tangled out fingers together as we watched the sun make it's way over the horizon. I yawned and she squeezed my hand. "All right White Girl lets get back to the dorm."
We climbed down the wall and walked hand in hand to the dorm. Just before we reached the dorm she pulled me to a stop.
"White Girl can I kiss you?" Kramisha's words had thrown me for a loop, I couldn't make my mouth form words so I just nodded slowly. She stepped towards me and placed her cool hands on either side of my face. I closed my eyes as she leaned in. Her lips met mine and I sighed melting against her. My arms snaked around her waist as hers draped across my shoulders. The kiss was warm and sweet, it made my heart flutter with excitement. All to quick she pulled back and smiled at me. "Let's get inside before the Tweebs send out a search party."
She grabbed my hand tugging me into the dorm. We took our time walking towards our rooms. we reached my room first and she stood there for a second staring at me before leaning forward and pressing her lips to mine in a chaste goodnight kiss that took my breath away.
"Night White Girl. Thanks for the date." She said with a grin and sauntered off down the hall leaving me grinning like an idiot. I reached out with my mind and yelled at the twins.
You're right. I like her. We went on a date. She kissed me. I'm dead.
I rushed into my room and started stripping my clothes off when the screaming in my head started. I smiled at my friends excitement.
Good Night Tweebs.
Tweebs? Their voices resounded in my head the confusion and annoyance dripping from them made me giggle as I crawled into bed completely forgetting to call Grandma. This new life of mine was turning out to be better than I ever thought it could be.
Sorry for the shorter chapter guys! But just I couldn't wait to start expanding on Kramisha and Georgia's relationship! I've got big plans for our girls! We shall see where they go from here!
