I woke up an hour and a half before I use to. I took a really long shower, making sure, I use almost all of my Axel men body wash. After the long shower, I put a towel around my waist and walked to the bathroom sink. I moved the fog that formed on the mirror with a hand and stared at my reflection. My face was smooth, thanks to the abilities that comes with a vampire. I took a hint of hair gel and started styling my hair in a messy way. You would think a style that appears to make the guy like he just got out of the bed was easy.
Once I was happy I put a hint of arm spray under my arms, then put on cologne. I walked to my closet I was dried already of how long I took in the shower and hair alone. I took a pair of boxers, and put them on, letting the towel fall off my body. Then grab a pair of faded jeans that were ripped, looking at them, you think they were old, that was the style now, and for some reason, girls love it. I put them on, and grabbed a white tank top, which was ripped as well, and put on a black leather jacket, and some expensive shoes. I grab my keys and my back pack and headed down.
I took a bottle of smoothie blood and walked out, driving to school. I notice Ella walking towards the inside of the school. I ran to catch up to her.
"Hey."
"Hey." She murmurs. We didn't had any classes together, I would have notice her sooner. So I ask the next question.
"Would you like to have lunch with me-" She stopped and turned towards me looking me up and down. Her face was neutral but her heart told me everything I needed to know. I was suddenly glad, I took time on my appearance today.
"Lunch with you or AM I your lunch." My lips curled up in a half smile.
"Are you ever going to let my past go?" She put on a thinking face.
"Nope, we are going to be married, with kids, and I'm still telling our children the story." I had a full smile now and looked down at her amused. "What?" She snap.
"I only ask to pursue you. Who said anything about marriage?" She blushed tomato red, and I fought the urge to put a hand on her cheek, to feel her heated flesh. I just put my hands into fist, to fight the temptation.
"You want to compete on the challenge for my hand next year-"
"Is a whole year Ella. What if I get bored by then?" She pursed her lips. I was just teasing her. I might like her, but I was still me. She turned about to leave, and I grabbed her arm turning her to me. "Why did that sentence annoyed you?"
"You made me realized something?"
"Do tell."
"Your right. You were fighting for a girl, not long ago, what makes you so different?" My smiled drop. I look at it too far... Well fuck.
"I told you, I was already in the competition... I couldn't back down of it."
"Well I am not spending much time with you. I rather keep my heart intact until I get to choose a suitor." I pulled her to me, and looked down at her, and smile again.
"But there's nothing better out there than a broken heart." She glared truly mad at me
"Why is that?"
"Because in order to heal a broken heart you need to give all the broken pieces to the person, that is meant to fix it.. And I'll make sure to take a long time fixing it."
"You don't need to break my heart-"
"Are you going to give it to me whole?" She started breathing fast, I leaned down towards her about to kiss her, she pushed me back, making me stumble. She shrugged and started walking towards her class. Oh, Man... I love you...
School was a drag. I spend the first two classes in detention. The teacher there knew me, It was like a second home to me. Finally lunch came and I ran to the cafeteria after buying my smoothie. No sigh of Ella. I sat by my self on a table, a few minutes later Cleo sat on the table I was. With her own smoothie. I raised my eyebrow at her.
"Are you lost?"
She giggle. "Oh come on, is not like we haven't had our share of broken beds."
I gave her my most seductive smile, remembering. "Fun times... If I recall you left me for that Charlie guy-"
"He's hotter than you." She said as if that was reason enough.
"Now that's a vile lie!" She laughed.
"Whatever. I'm bore, and your starting to become appealing once again." I stared at her.
"But I almost drank the blood of your BFF." I said in a mocking tone, as I remember her punch to my face she gave me for it. She glared not liking the reminder.
"I hope you learn your lesson." I chuckle.
"I sure did."
"That's great. How about it? Want to be my fuck buddy again?" I stared at her, there was a reason, why this girl name was Cleopatra, she was beauty incarnated, and she was name after one of the most beautiful ruler Egypt had. If it weren't for Ella I would be taking her to my car right about now, and I knew by the look, she was giving, that was exactly what she though I was going to do... But I found myself saying.
"Why don't you just settle down with another guy?" Pain crossed her features, every guy knew better than to bring love topic to this creature, but I just had too... It's been decades. It seem like every vampire was destine for a horrible romance story... Yet Charlie not only found it but keep it... So IT was possible, that happy ending exist.
"It's too late for me.. I'm a whore." I laughed.
"So are the guys-"
"Yeah, but even though the world have evolved the vampire rulers haven't... We were suppose to be marrying virgin-"
"Come on, any guy would be on their knees for your love-"
"Are you offering?" She challenged. I stiffened.
"I..I found someone." She smiled and relaxed on the table.
"So.. THAT'S why you risked losing your tongue... Your in love!" I laughed.
"Please. You would have to be able to touch me in order for you to ripped my tongue off. I would just have you in your ass in seconds." She stood up, put both hands on the table and leaned towards me.
"IS that so?" I stood up and put both of MY hands on the table and leaned towards her, until our faces were inches apart.
"Oh, Cleo... Don't make me demonstrate. PLeeeasseee!" I smirk looking at her cleavage on purpose.
"IS on!" She said. I grabbed her by the arm, and pulled her to me. She had to either climb the table or be slide against the smoothies. When suddenly a familiar scent hit my nostrils. I let go of Cleo fast and turned towards the smell. Ella had a tray of food on her hands, and she was petrified. She was staring at us in disbelief. I gulped.
"Ella-" She dropped the tray of food and took off running the same way, she probably came away from us. I stared at her running figured in dismay. Cleopatra slapped me so hard I fell to the floor on my back. I stood up putting ha hand on my cheek and glared at her. "What the actual FUCK?!"
"Go After her, you jackass! Explain to her what she saw!" I nodded, and stood up fast, and ran to her vampire speed.
This little human girl kept turning my fucking world upside down. She kept making me have feelings I didn't know I could have... Right now the new feeling I was experiencing was fear.. I was truly scare of losing her...
