When I awoke the next day I did my usual routine of getting washed and dressed. When I went downstairs my mum had just put her coat on and was heading out of the door. She told me that she would be late and that she hoped I would have a good day, I couldn't help but think I would if Gregory was ill and didn't turn up.
When she left I went to the kitchen to get bowel of cereal. I sat on the counter while eating, listening to the silence and looking into the empty house. My mind wondered to the story Gregory and co told me and to my dreams, they backed up everything he had said, they were sort of evidence in the case of past life's. It was impossible but everything pointed to it been the truth.
A knock at the door snapped me out of my trance. Placing my bowel down I jumped off of the counter and walked to the door. Guess who. Gregory stood before me with a smile on his face, a smile that made me melt upon it's sight.
"What?" I asked.
"You may has well take your uniform off, we're not going to school."
He tried to walk into my house but I pushed him back and closed the door so only my body could be seen. How dare he!
"I beg your pardon, who gives you the right to make dictions for me or to barge into my home without an invitation to do so."
The smile widened and I swear my tough exterior almost melted into a puddle a glop onto the floor along with my insides.
"I figured you'd have questions and I don't think school is the right place to discus it. You could come over to my house."
I stood looking at him for a long while. I was going to tell him it could wait until the weekend but I was extremely curious, but then I thought about weather mum would find out or not. I had no idea what to say.
"Your mother wont find out. She works until 7 or 8." He said reading my mind.
"Are you a bloody stalker or something." The words just slipped out of my mouth.
He laughed. "I suppose I have become some what of a stalker, I've been watching your house, for any movement of you quite a lot recently."
A nervous giggle escaped my lips has I slowly began to shut the door, which he stopped.
"Just let me in." The way he said it seemed light hearted, like a friend who pissed you off without meaning to.
"Fine." I opened the door wider for him and he stalked inside. "Just for an hour though."
I led him into the kitchen, he sat at the table and I sat back on the counter taking my tie off and unbuttoning my two top buttons. Picking up my bowel and began eating while studying him. He was the first to speak.
"What was that thing you took? The tablet."
There was a spar box on the counter beside me so I chucked it at him and he caught it one handed.
"What are they for?" He asked
"They stop the dreams. I forgot to take them that night."
"You want to stop them."
"Yeh, because of the dreams I have ether woken up in hospital, with tears spilling from my eyes or…
aroused." I said the last bit quietly.
He nodded. "What's your full name?"
"You should know that." I pointed out.
"You never told me your first name. Your mother disapproved of it so she called you Elizabeth. I'm guessing it's Lucy Elizabeth Silverman."
"If she didn't like it, why'd she call me it."
"She didn't, your dad did. When she gave birth to you she lost a lot of blood, she was passed out during the naming process."
Chucking my bowel in the sink I lifted my leg up to take off my shoes and knee length socks. Gregory's head had turned side ways and his gaze was aimed up my skirt. When I took my second shoe off I chucked a shoe at him, which he dodged, and I dropped my leg.
"If you loved me so much, why didn't you change me?"
"Because I hated what I was. Why would I change the one I love into something I hated with all my heart?"
Jumping from the counter I sat across the table from him.
"How did we meet?"
"My drive ran you over with the horse and cart."
"Wouldn't I have died?"
"That's what I said, but you insisted. You hurt your ankle so I had to take you to my place."
"Why did you come back…that night?"
"I couldn't bear the though of your first time been with anyone but me. I guess I was selfish."
"Did my family know about you?"
"Yeh, we were to be married when I became human. They thought I had ran from cold feet."
My bum began to grow numb so I moved into the living room to sit on the sofa with my legs folded. Gregory followed me and sat next to me.
"You treated me as if you hated me."
"I was scared."
His eyes wondered down my neck and landed on my cleavage. It should have bothered me but it felt comfortable. When his eyes returned to mine he reached out a hand and gently touched my cheek then he leaded in. Knocking his arm away I stood up.
"What do you think your doing?" he pulled a face has if to say typical. "What? You think that after all the evil looks and bullying I would just kiss you because I'm this girl who used to love you. News flash, that was 300 years ago."
I began to walk towards the door, I had intended to chuck him out, but he had got up and grabbed my arm spinning me around, then his lips crushed down on mine. He pulled away and looked into my eyes, waiting for me to say or do something, but I was in shock. It had felt so good. My hand slowly went to my mouth. He began to frown and his arms grabbed my shoulders gently so he could get a better look at me. Catching him off guard I flung my arms around him and pressed my lips against his. His arms wrapped tightly around my waist, pulling me closer to himself with great urgency. One of his hands slid down my body, over my bum and thigh, to my knee where he bent my leg and lifted it to his waist. Jumping up I wrapped both legs around him and he backed me hard into a wall. His hands ran through my hair, pulling it free from my bobble and letting it fall around his fingers. One of my hands was wrapped securely around his neck while the other wondered under his shirt, feeling his soft toned stomach and chest underneath.
He broke from the kiss and began nibbling at my neck. My head tipped back with eyes closed with pure bliss. The fog in my head cleared suddenly and I remembered who this was. He had spent the week bullying me.
"Wait. Stop a minuet."
He stopped biting my neck and rested his head on my shoulder with an inpatient growl. Both of us we breathing fast and wild.
"What?" He breathed.
"It's going too fast." I slid my hand from under his shirt.
"I know." He whispered.
He kissed my neck once then stood back a little so I could stand. I didn't want to move away. Not really. Smiling, he moved and sat down on the sofa with me straddling him.
For the rest of the day we did nothing. Just stayed wrapped in each others arms, talking, until he had to go. He left reluctantly and I let him go reluctantly. This day had been almost has weird has the others. I was going out with my enemy slash old lover.
