3 hours later we were in LA, my home. We still were at the airport and just got our suitecases and where now heading out...
„Oh and before we cross this Door, to the outside. I just have to tell you a tiny little thing." I said trying not to sound too innocent.
„And that would be ?" he asked skeptically.
„There will be about 20 paparazzi or more. And they will take pictures of us, so there will be a lot of flashes. Just wanted to warn you." And I walked out, giving him to chance to respond.
And there they were about 40 paparzzi were there, screaming my name.
„Gabriella over here !" „Gabi this way !" „One smile please !" „To the left !" „Miss Montez !"
I rushed outside and turned around on the halfway to make sure Troy was still behind me. But he wasn't and I almost panic. I walked back an started to look for him.
„Troy ?!" I screamed. And all paparazzi asked „ Who's Troy ? You're new Lover ? Is he a hook up ? Is he a Friend ? „
I ignored them and screamed one more time „Troy ?!". And then I saw him.
„Let him through, guys !" I screamed and grabed Troys hand to get him through.
We made our way to the limousine, hand holding. I just didn't want him to lose again. The driver closed the car door and drove off.
„Do you even know where to ?" I asked him.
„Yeah, you're holiday house, Mr. Montez told me everything."
„Okay. Are you okay, Troy ?"
„I...I'm fine. That was just a lot, you know."
„Yeah, I know. A lot to get isn't it ?"
„Yep. How many were they ?"
„55 paparazzi plus I think 2 Television Channels and 15 guys who flimed it." The driver shouted from the front.
„Wow, I didn't knew they were so much." I said impressed.
„So do we have to deal with them our whole 2 days ?"
„If we're lucky they won't be at the holiday house ." I said trying to make the situation better.
„Do you always deal with them, when you're here ?"
„Yeah, but you get used to them. I mean they have to earn their money somehow, too."
„Yeah, but that's just bad. I mean they do anything to get a picture of you."
„Well...I guess so."
„We're here" The driver shouted and got out. He opened the door and Troy steped out first.
„That's your holiday house ?! It looks more like a castle to me !"
„But it's still a house." I said and got out, too. I took one deep breath, the air of LA is nothing compared to the Alberqueue air. There was totally silence, no one screaming anything...What I didn' knew was I better should enjoy this moment.
„GABI!" I heared someone screaming and this person was runnig outisde. It was my other cousin, Justine.
„Justine !" I ran to her and huged her.I could feel her cold skin, how she needed blood...
Meanwhile the driver was getting all the suitcases in the house. „Gosh I've missed you so much!" I said as I looked at her.
„Me,too." She said. „And who is this ?" she said looking very attired at him.
„That's Troy. Troy this is my cousin, Justine."
„Hello." He simple said, while Justine checked him out.
„Does he know ?" she asked with her look.
„Nope." I said with my look.
„Hi. Alright no more standing outside, let's get inside." And we all went inside.
„What are you doing here anyway ? I thought you study in San Fransico ?" I asked her.
„I took a break for a couple of days. How long are you gonna stay here ?"
„For 2 days" Troy answered for me.
„So Gabriella could you help me in the kitchen for a sec ?"
„Sure. Just make yourself feel at home, just like you do at mine."
„I do not, do that at your home."
„Oh you so do." I said and walked into the kitchen, with Justine following me.
„So..." she said.
„So what ?" I asked.
„Are you 2 together ?"
„No... we're not." The Thing is I don't know what we are.
„Good, because he's hot." You should see him nearly nacked...and yeah he is hot.
„I guess so." I simply said.
„Then you don't mind me going after him, do you ?"
Cousin, who's living in my house, say WHAT ?!
„No, absolutly. Go for him. I don't mind." I said instead.
„Great." She said and walked to the living room."Troy !„ she screamed, „And how do you like it here so far ?"
„It's big and there're a lot of Paparazzis, but it's great." He said staring at a picture.
„What are you staring at ?" I asked him, while I made my way to the living room.
„At you." He said, smiling at me. „So that's why you don't have any baby pictures of you in your apartment, you all have them here."
„What can I say, you caught me." I said with a smile on my face.
„Anyways, do you want to go out today ?" Justine asked, trying to get the Attention full on her.
„Er...well I don't know any good bars or restaurants here." Troy answered.
„Oh that won't be a problem. I know a couple of good ones. You and me will have a great time." She said, making a fake smile.
„Wait, Bries not coming along ?" he asked surprised and party in shock.
„Brie ?! But that's the nickname her fath-„
„I know and he does also." I said interrupting her." I have some things to do anyways. I brought my macbook with me."
„You did what ?!" I heared him in panic. His eyes told me „Please, don't let me alone with this...Girl. She's crazy, can't you see that she's after me ?!"
„You heared me." And I told him with my Eyes „And ? There's nothing I can do. It's not like we're together."
„Then I won't go." He said and still looked me in the eyes „I won't go without you. We may be not together, but I won't go out with anyone, but you."
„But you have to !" Justine protested.
„I won't go, if Gabi's not gonna go."
„Fine then Gabriella's gonna go, right Gabi ?!" she asked annoyed.
„Yeah, I can finish those things later." I said politely.
Then the sound of a Cellphone appeared. „Excuse me, I have to get that. I'll be right back." Justine said and went outside.
„So it's not like we're together, huh ?" he asked coming closer to me.
„Yeah, I mean we just can't. Not right now."
„Why not ?"
„Because I'm your tutor."
„I thought we had that conversation."
„I- yeah we did. But my cousin wants you."
„Tell me something I don't know. Then you just have to tell here we're together, or going out or whatever you want to call our situation."
„I kind of already told her you're free..."
„Oh great. Then we have to do anything to make her see I'm not interested in her."
We both saw Justine coming back.
„And that would be ?"
Justine opened the door and looked at us.
„This." He said and kissed me intensive. After we broke apart I saw Justine looking shocked.
„I--I just got a call I have to go back to San Fransico." She said half in shock.
„So fast ? I wanted to spend some time with you." I said innocently.
„Yeah." She grabed her bags and opened the door. „Bye, it was nice to meet you Troy."
„Good bye." We both said at once and she closed the door.
„Now that was fast." He said.
„I guess she just got shocked seeing us kissing."
„Yeah. You want me to do it again ?"
I didn't said anything, instead I just kissed him and he hugged me.
„So what do you want to do now ?" he asked me, still hugging me.
„How about we watch a Movie ?" I said.
„Sure, which one ?"
„Mhm...how about All boys love Mandy Lane ?"
„That's a horror Movie."
„I know." I said and picked up the DVD. I put it in the DVD Player and we sat on the couch watching the Movie...
I looked at him and he smiled.
Gosh what am I doing ? What am I doing ?! I asked myself over and over and over again. I can't be with him, I simply can't. Because whenever I'm with him, I'm putting us both in danger. I didn't even wanted to know what my parents would say about it . I mean sure, my Dad probably knows that I like him and he also allowed me to be with Luke but...it was different with Troy. Troy wasn't Luke, thank god for that...
I continued staring at Troy, while he watched the Movie. And then I felt it again, the coldness, the wanting...the needing of blood. He noticed I was staring at him.
„Aren't you gonna watch the Movie ?" he asked, his eyes still focused at the TV.
„I...I'll be right back." I said and got up, making my way straight to the kitchen. On my way I felt how I was getting the horny, typical, vampire teeth and I knew, if Troy was going to be infront of me at that second I would've probably kill him. But luckly he wasn't here, not in the kitchen anyway. I opened the fridge and got out a bottle with blood. I drank a little bit and felt better the second after that.
Okay you're gonna do this, you're gonna be fine...he won't find out.
It has never been so hard with Luke, party because he didn't care and partly because I didn't care about showing it. He never saw me in my vampire status though. But I knew he always was thinking of me not being a human. And that's what scared me.
With Troy everything's different. New Love, new Game, huh ?
I know that I can't tell him or show him or anything. Because I know if he knew, he would've gone crazy. I just know. Troy is like a challenge for me. Whenever I'm with him I challenge myself. I try to resist doing things I would normally do. I try not to switch places in milliseconds. And I also tried not to bite him or do anything that would cause more damage. But still even if I could break him with every move I do when I'm with him, I don't want to be without him. I don't want to feel lonely anymore. What I want is him, him as a human. As someone I am not...never been...and never am going to be.
I walked back to the living room and sat at the couch.
30 Minutes later I felt assleep and I felt how Troy carried me upstairs to my bedroom. Even through I slept I could almost see how he was carring me, how his strong arms carried me. And for one second, just a millisecond of it I thought „If he would be a Vampire, he would be the strongest of them all" . But he isn't and he'll never be. I heared how he opened the door with his left hand I lied me down on my very comfy bed.
„Sweet dreams." He whispered and kissed my forehead. I heared every single step he made, before closing the door very silent.
