Elizabeth was still as a statue, now that I knew she was a vampire, she didn't have to act human. I tried to watch the television but I just couldn't stop thinking about Matt. Then to my surprise he was suddenly sitting by me. I jumped a little, then laughed. He kissed me on the cheek. I blushed and he just touched my cheek with his cold hand. He smiled at me. His eyes were like butterscotch instead of almost black. "Bye Liz." He said as he picked me up and carried me into his room. She didn't even say anything as she was transfixed on the TV. He set me down gently on the couch. "Sorry about earlier, I hope Liz didn't try to eat you." He said laughing a bit. I was glad to see him in a better mood and not so stiff around me. I tried not to think he really wanted to drink my blood. "It's alright. And no, she didn't." I said grinning. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me on the lips again. They were cold but I kissed back. It was wonderful to be in his strong arms. I felt safe, like nothing bad could ever happen to me. I felt wanted and loved.
Then my phone vibrated in my pocket but I didn't want to stop kissing Matt. He pulled back, but slowly. I smiled as I reached for my phone. Honey. I think it's time to come back home. Don't want to wear out your welcome. I groaned as I replied an "ok." She just didn't get it. But moms are here to ruin everything, but I still loved her. Matt got a puzzled look on his face. "My mom. She says I have to go home. Don't want to wear out my welcome." I said, rolling my eyes. He just chuckled. "You could stay here all night and it wouldn't bother us. Of course you might have to sleep eventually, but I would watch over you." He said sincerely. He really meant it. I couldn't help but hugging him. "I love you." I muttered into his shoulder, knowing he could hear me. "I love you too Ellie." He said. And I knew he meant it. "Now we better go. Don't want your mom to be upset at me." He said as he picked me up again. I could get used to this whole not walking thing. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he flew down the stairs. I buried my face in his neck, I couldn't look at the ground rushing past me and dangerous speeds, but I knew he wouldn't drop me.
We were suddenly by his car. He opened the door and carefully put me in the seat. I smiled at him as he shut the door then walked around to his side and got in. We didn't even need to say anything on the ride home, probably because we didn't really have any time. Where it would have taken me about 10 minutes to drive to my house, it only took him 5. I was slowly getting used to his fast driving, but it was goign to be harder than I though. Lucky I don't get car sick. We pulled in my driveway and I saw my mom look out of the window. "I want you to go straight up to your bedroom because I have a surprise for you." He said grinning playfully. I smiled and nodded. I got out of the car and walked up to my house. My mom greeted me at the door and ushered me in. She had a happy look on her face and asked me all about my "date." I explained every little detail to her, then told her I had to get upstairs and finish my homework. She let me go and I walked into my room, shocked at who I saw laying on me bed. Matt.
I jumped on my bed next to him and sat down. "Well, this is your surprise!" He said smiling. "It's the best surprise ever!" I said laughing a bit. How had he gotten in? Well, it didn't really matter to me, just as long as he was here. I sat down on the bed facing him. "You know you really should lock your window." He said smiling. "Well, it's not like I have a vampire wanting to sneak into my room everyday." I explained, giggling. "You better not!" He said, trying to be serious, but we both ended up laughing. I laid down next to him and put my head on his chest. It was weird not to hear a heartbeat, but it didn't really matter. Who said you have to be alive to be in love? "Your thinking about something." He said, playing with my hair. "Just thinking about you." I said tilting my head so I could look at him. He was smiling. I love it when he smiled. "Ah. And I was thinking of you." Matt told me. I snuggled up next to him even though he was cold, good thing I didn't mind it. "You know it kind of defeats the purpose of snuggling if the other has no body heat." He said playfully. "Well do you mind it?" "Well, no." He replied. "Good, then don't complain." I said playfully. We just laid there, not saying anything. We didn't need to.
Then I head my mom coming up the stairs. Before I knew it Matt was gone and my mom was standing in my room. "What happened to doing your homework?" She asked, grinning. "Got a bit tired. And I was thinking about things." I explained. It's not like I could tell her Matt had snuck in through my window and was somewhere in my room. "About Matt?" She said laughing. Why couldn't she just shut up? "Yes." I confessed, blushing, knowing he could hear everyword, then again, it's not like I was lying. "I'm so glad you had a good time. And I'm glad he proved me wrong. You just seem so happy." Mom said, getting all motherly on me. "Thanks mom. Well, can we talk later? I have a history report due in a couple days." I said, kind of lying. It was due in a week, not two days. She just smiled at went back downstairs and I flopped back on my bed.
Matt came out of the closet and he was grinning. "Go ahead, say whatever you want to say." I said, rolling my eyes. "First of all, your a liar, and second...you loooove me." Matt said, drawing out the love. I laughed at him. "Well, I needed to get her out of here. And I do love you. You know that." I said giggling. Before I knew it, Matt had his arms wrapped around my waist, and was looking into my eyes. "And you know I love you." He said, still looking into my eyes. Then he leaned down and kissed me. His lips were cold, but the kiss was more than welcomed. Instinctively I moved myself closer to him. He pulled back a little and murmered "Don't push your luck silly little human." I could tell he was smiling. "Alright." I said softly and then he moved his lips back to mine. His arms were still around my waist, but I let him move me when he wanted. I didn't want to tempt him more than I already was without knowing it. Eventually he did move me closer to him, and I was glad he wasn't thirsty because I wanted to keep kissing him forever. Then I inhaled to regain my breath. His eyes grew darker and a small growl erupted in his throat. He had me pinned on my bed and his teeth were hanging dangerously above my jugular when I let out small wimper. I hoped he was playing around, but my gut instinct was telling me otherwise. This is what I fear the most.
Matt managed to tear himself away from me and I staggered back a couple feet. He was across the room before I could even blink and he was facing away from me. His hands were balled up into fists and he was mumbling things that I couldn't understand. His head was down. I could tell he was mad, was he mad at me, or himself? I didn't want to say anything, I couldn't say anything. I knew all he needed was time. I couldn't believe this was happening, or happened rather. I told myself I wasn't scared and I braced myself in case this very thing happened, but now that it actually did, I was scared out of my freaking mind. Then he faced me and his eyes were dark, almost black. Which meant he was hungry, and thirsted for my blood more than normal. He walked up to me and held his hand up to my face and I instictively flinched away. "I'm so sorry Ellie. I didn't mean to. It just happened so fast...I didn't have time to think. Please don't cry." He said softly, but loud enough that I could hear. I looked in his dark eyes and smiled. I didn't cry, but had been dangerously close. I knew that this would probably happen eventually, and he had warned me about it.
I couldn't be mad, or scared. But I couldn't help feeling a little hesitant. "It's fine. No harm no foul." I said, my voice shaking a bit, but I still managed to hang on to my smile. I knew it hurt him when I flinched away. His eyes looked upset, hurt, angry. "I'm so...upset, at myself. If I ever hurt you in anyway, I wouldn't be able to live with myself." He confessed, and I knew he meant it. I hugged him, but only for a moment. "Ellie. I almost kill you and you hug me and tell me it's ok. It's alright to be mad at me." He said grinning. His eyes were still dark, but they were lighter, happier. "I can't stay mad at you. I was scared but...I don't really know. All I know is that I love you and will do anything to help you." I said. He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me. I could tell he was holding his breath though. That's one great thing about having a vampire for a boyfriend. Even when they try to kill you, they can hold their breath.
