Hey,been awhile since I was on here. Actually I've been going under the Harry Potter fanfiction instead;it's entertaining and I've somehow managed to write 2 stories for it. But I felt really guilty for not updating any of these in a while(the last Morganville Vampires story I updated was a month ago:11-21-10). Because my Christmas break started today and I have the next 2 weeks off-I promise I'll update each and every 1 of my stories twice. To make up for my usual not much updating. Forgive me? Hope so. Let's get the stories starting!
Chapter 11
Oliver POV
I had no idea why I had reached out and hugged her. Her.My great-great-great- great-great-great granddaughter. How was that possible? And why was I so...enthralled at getting to spend perhaps a year or so with her? Maybe a few years. Wait,enthralled? No,I am Oliver. I do not get enthralled,nor minutely glad. Unless there was a human execution or I was the ruler of Morganville. And since the latter would not most likely happen again and the former was not a usual occurrence,the days did not find me happy.
I turned and went to my chair with a book,which is precisely where I spent all afternoon. Instead of going as fast as I could and being done with it in mere minutes,I read slowly like a human does. It was a good,but terribly slow afternoon. I closed the book after reading the last word and checked my watch: 6:54 P.M. Jess still hadn't come down from her room and it had been around 6 hours ago when she went up. I stood and walked up the stairs,slowly and carefully.
I stood outside the door to her room for just a second before knocking two times in quick succession. No response. I knocked louder. No response. I decided her privacy could be put aside for once in the off case she was in trouble. I opened her door and nearly laughed. I'd been worried for nothing. Jess was lying across her bed with a book on her face. Of course-I had noticed she had quite a few books in her suitcases.
She breathed out a deep breath and I realized she'd woken. She hadn't even moved an inch. Reaching up a hand to remove the book from her face,she blinked and sat up. "Hello,"she greeted cheerily. I just stood there and slowly nodded my head at her. "You can sit down if you want,"she said,gesturing to the end of the bed. I walked over and sat down on the very edge of the bed,waiting patiently as she swung her feet over the side so she was sitting like me. "You look like there's something you want to say." She said slowly. Honestly,are my emotions showing that much?
"Yes,I do,"I began hesitantly,"Remember meeting the vampires the first day you were here? Remember Amelie?" To this I received a nod. I continued,"I have a meeting with her tonight so I won't be back for awhile." At that Jess started smiling and a had an amused glint in her eyes. "What?" I snapped out. "Oliver's got a date! You have a date!" Then she started laughing and play-punched my arm. "Get her roses. Pretty ones. And pull her chair out for her. And don't forget t be gentlemanly. Be sweet and compliment her. And don't forget to kiss her at the end." She yelled the last sentence because I had stood up and exited her room shaking my head.
I went downstairs and called Amelie. I got our meeting set up. We arranged to meet in a half hour. We were eating at a vampire restaurant and taking my limo. And then realization struck me:
"I am going on a date. With Amelie."
SO what do you think? Good or not? I have an idea where this is going. I just wanted to try this out. I was thinking maybe having 4 or 5 more chapters and then ending this. But who knows,I come up with stuff all the time so it may not end so soon. ANyways,review about the usual and tell me what you think about the future pairing of Oliver and AMelie. The future,possible pairing. Thanks,
