Here it is at last. The next chapter! Sorry it took for ever to write and I hope you people are interested.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything but the plot, Richelle Mead does!
Christian was sleeping in the second guest room. On the bed were red silk covers and sheets. I turned round to Christian who had a raised eyebrow.
'Silk? How am I supposed to sleep with silk?' Christian asked
'You get used to it, it's not as bad as it looks'
'Sydney…will you stay until I'm settled? Only I can't deal with Adrian right now, I know he's waiting to ask questions about Lissa…' he broke off.
'Sure but I can't stay long, I going to get a hot drink, would u like one?' I asked politely.
'Na thanks syd I'm all good and besides the airhostesses on the plane kept shoving coffee in my face, so I'm full thanks.' He finished out of breathe.
'Right…well I'll be back soon'
I know it's wrong, but I don't really want a hot drink, I was actually hoping I'd see Adrian again, but when I got down stairs he was nowhere in sight, nowhere. Where could he have gone? I rolled my eyes, the pub for a drink. I sighed out loud.
'Whats wrong?' Christian's voice sounded from behind me.
'Nothing I'm fine' I lied.
Syd for some reason I don't believe you'
His voice was a lot louder this time. I slowly spun around and was immediately met with Christian's bare chest. I raised one eyebrow at him.
'What I was getting changed, I thought you had left me all alone'
'Unfortunately no I'm still here'
I regretted what I said the instant it left my mouth, hurt filled his face.
'I'm sorry I didn't mean it, I really am sorry'
'It's ok come here' he said wrapping his arms around me.
Just at that moment the front door opened and Adrian walked in with someone I've never seen before. Honestly she looked like a tart, I was gonna tell her this then thought against it, that is not very lady like of me and also not who I am.
'Oh, you're still here, I thought you would be upstairs getting Christian settled in'
I stood back from Christian whose arms were still wrapped around me. I turned around and took my coffee, then headed for the stairs. Christian followed my every move. What are you doing Sydney? I asked myself. I have no idea was the answer I replied with. I entered Christian's bedroom and flopped on the bed, full of anger…wait anger? Why am I so angry? Adrian can see whoever he likes; sleep with whomever he likes, why do I care so much? You're jealous my conscience told me…
'No, I'm not!' I said
'No you're not what?' Christian asked
Woops I must have spoken out loud. I sighed
'Nothing don't worry'
I sat up on the bed, Christian sat down as well. I was just about to talk when I thought I heard someone knock at the door. So I stood up and went to look, but there was no one there.
'err…syd that's coming from Adrian's room, looks like he's got himself a bed warmer for the night'
I froze, which was a bad move. I could hear the banging louder now, the moaning. Trying my best not to get upset and ignore it, I said to Christian
'I'm quite hungry; I'm just going to get something to eat'
Christian stood up.
'I can go alone, how about you finish unpacking?'
He nodded, and I headed downstairs. I was actually hungry now that I'd mentioned it. I walked out into the hall; it was quiet so Adrian and his 'Bed warmer' as Christians had called her must be asleep. I made my way into the kitchen and opened the fridge, with tears in my eyes.
'Sydney?'
Great, I so did not want to talk to him right now. I wiped my eyes and spun around. Sure enough there he was, in nothing but a silk dressing gown.
'What Ivashkov?'
I asked, using his last name because I was mad at him, for what I wasn't sure yet.
'I…I…I thought you had left already'
He nearly whispered. I couldn't look him in the eye, so I span back towards the fridge.
'No I was upstairs helping Christian get settled in, remember like I should be'
'yeah sorry about that, but it's not every day you walk in on you best mate all over an innocent little alchemist like you, especially one that I've slept with'
He didn't look at me once while talking, which made me even more fuming.
'It wasn't what it looked like, but as per usual you wouldn't give me a chance to explain! And you know what I don't have to explain myself to you anyway'
I half shouted at him.
'You're right you don't, and I'm sorry.'
There it was again, the apology, which I nearly accepted until his bed warmer walked into the kitchen.
'There you are babe, when are you coming back to be…oh whats this bitch still doing here?'
I took a big breath to calm myself down, I don't get angry, I don't get angry, I repeated in my head.
'Don't worry I was just leaving, Adrian was just going back to bed anyway so don't let me keep you'
I tried so hard, but failed as a tear rolled down my cheek.
'What! You're leaving? Why—'
'I'll be back in two days' time with the other, as Jill will want to see you'
I said cutting him off. I also turn professional as I said this; it helps me let no emotion show.
'Wait sage…please stop for one fucking minute!'
He swore and shouted, making me jump. I gave out a little whimper.
'Ha-ha…look babe…pathetic, she's scared. She's probably going to run home to d—'
'Go back to the bedroom Katelyn'
He said cutting the bitch off. She stormed off, obviously not happy being dismissed like a dog. Adrian walked over to me.
'I'm sorry…again I didn't mean to s—'
'Forget it, it's fine, go back to her she obviously means a lot to you! I'm going back to the school'
'Wait—'
'Forget it, bye Adrian!'
I sobbed. I ran out to latte tears streaming down my face. The worst part, he didn't come after me, he probably went straight back to bed. That night I cried myself to sleep.
The next chapter there will be a makeup between Sydney and Adrian that maybe might change things between them. And Jill will be the one to spot it. Please review so I know if I should carry on with this story between Sage and Ivashkov.
Also please check out my other new story: DEADLIEST SECRETS. I've just started that as well and I think its going well. it kinda runs alone the lines of vampire diaries, because well…I totally love Damon Salvatore…just as much as Adrian Ivashkov! Please review.
