I have a stupid freaking alarm clock. It beeps at the wrong time. To get it to stop, I angrily chucked it at the wall, breaking it.
"What is going on?" Mom busted through the door, worried.
"Nothing," I said innocently, sitting up. Then I noticed that she had her hands behind her back
"Never mind about the clock, it annoyed me anyway," she said, brushing it off, "Guess what you got!" I looked at her in astonishment. Usually, Mom is never a morning person. If you dared to disturb her she will bite your head off.
"What?" I asked, surprised. She took her hands from behind her back; she was holding a bouquet of daises. I noticed that the card envelope was ripped open, probably my dad. He never really liked it when I got attention from guys. I grew up being his little girl, and he wants it to stay that way
"So…who is this guy named Louie?" she raised her eyebrows, "Was he the one you last danced with at the ball?" I nodded.
"Oh my," she giggled, "When can I meet him?"
"Mom…" I groaned.
"Okay. Okay, I'll stop," Mom said, "Hurry and get dressed. Lisa and her mother will be here soon." I put my pillow over my head and groaned. Oh, joy, I thought.
"Come on, dear," Mom told me as she left the room, closing the door behind her. I had no other option than to get up and face Lisa.
Dressed in a cotton white sundress, I went downstairs to the dining room. Lisa and her mother were already there, sitting at the table. I had to unfortunately sit in front of Lisa.
"Good morning, lily Anne," she smiled, fake sweet. She's like a diet soda, sweet enough to make you puke. It's not naturally sweet, just artificial. It's way too sweet for my taste.
"Morning, Lisa," I said, politely as I could, "Good morning, Mrs. Lonwith."
"Good morning," she said back.
"Oh my gosh," Lisa acted, "My date went so well last night!"
"Good for you," I said, uninterested, before I took a sip of orange juice.
"It went so well," Lisa continued, "There's going to be another one tonight!"
I almost chocked on my o.j. at the though of it. Half of me was disturbed, but half of me was laughing.
"Lily," my mother nudged me under the table, "Tell them about this morning."
"I got flowers," I put simply. I don't like telling these kinds of things.
"It seems like they were four yesterday." Mom sobbed to .
Note to self: If I have a daughter please do not mention how she has grown up.
"It sure does," Mrs. Lonwith agreed.
After about 30 minutes our company left. I glanced at the clock and sighed. It would be hours until I met Louie again. We could only meet at night, he told me. I wonder why…
Mom still pestered all day about me about meeting him, but I'd abruptly change the subject. I hope Daddy wouldn't get wind of it. It would be really bad, if he did. The way that he looked at Louie…it worried me a little. I was called into my father's study.
"Yes, Daddy, you wanted to see me?" I asked from the doorway.
"Yes, my little angel, come in," he motioned for me to sit beside him on a couch, which I did.
"Are you okay?" He asked, "You've been acting weird."
"I'm fine, Daddy."
"Good I wouldn't want my angel to be in any danger…"
He or I didn't know that I already was.
"Lily, I have something to tell you," the look on Louie's face told me that it was not good news. That night I was so excited to meet him. This caught me by complete surprise. My mind was going
"What is it?" I wanted to know, but at the same time I didn't, fearing that it would hurt too much.
"I…I'm a vampire," Louie said, "My last name is Von Helson."
My eyes stared at him with complete shock…
