Chapter 14: Just a Kiss

(Scarlett's POV)

I woke up the next morning to find that Demetri was laying by me on the bed. I stretched relieved that I slept through the whole night without nightmares.

"Sleep well?" Demetri asked and I nodded.

"Good," he said standing up and grabbing his jacket, "your food is on the desk, I must go speak to someone." With that he left and I got out of bed.

(Demetri's POV)

"You were in my room," I said walking up to Alec who was reading in the library, "you were there when I don't recall asking you to be with Scarlett."

"I was simply bringing her food," he replied, "after all you're the one who forbid her from seeing Gianna."

"Then why were you watching her form the garden?" I asked crossing my arms and he shrugged.

"I am simply curious," he replied standing up, "after all it's not every day we get a human living here." With that he walked out of the room leaving me in a very confused state. Eventually I sighed and tracked down Heidi.

"What's up?" Heidi asked as I walked into her room.

"I need your help with something," I said and she raised an eye brow.

"What?"

"Can I trust you to help Scarlett with helping her get dressed and doing her hair?"

"Why?" I told her why and she smiled brightly then agreed to be at my room this evening.

"You've been very distracted lately brother." I said walking into Alec's room. He looked up at me from his spot on the couch and I sat by him.

"Why do you say that sister?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Well," I said, "you've been looking for excuses to go see Demetri's human." I said and he sighed.

"I am simply curious about her." He replied looking back at the TV.

"I'm your sister Alec," I said, "that's not true." He sighed and looked at me.

"Do not ask me what is going through my mind sister," he said, "because even I don't know yet."

(Scarlett's POV)

I sat on the bed reading when Demetri walked in and placed a box in front of me.

"My friend Heidi will be up here soon to help you get dressed and do your hair," he said then walked out. A few minutes later a tall woman with long black hair walked into the room smiling.

"Come on honey," she said pulling me off the bed, "take a shower. Demetri is taking you out tonight and I told him I would help you get dressed."

"Where's he taking me?" I asked as she pushed me into the bathroom.

"He's taking you out to a restaurant that has dancing, specifically Waltzing." I froze at her words.

"But I can't dance." I said panicked and she smiled.

"You won't need to with Demetri as your partner." She said then pushed me into the bathroom and started the shower, "now get in and get out." I sighed and did as she said. As soon as I got out of the shower and dried off she threw me some underwear and put a robe on me.

"Now sit down and let me do your hair." I obeyed and she started to blow dry my hair and style it. As she worked on my hair I decided to speak.

"So are you and Demetri close?" I asked and she smiled.

"Yes we are," she said, "he saved my life when I was a newborn and brought me here. We've been friends ever since."

"He sure likes to bring women back home doesn't he." I muttered and she sighed.

"If I tell you something do you promise not to tell him?" she asked.

"Yes." I replied and she smiled.

"Demetri brought you here because he couldn't kill you." She said and I sat there shocked.

"Why?" I asked and she shook her head with another smiled.

"That's for you to find out." She said finishing up my hair and helping me into the dress Demetri bought for me.

"This is different." I said as I looked at the dress and Heidi smiled.

"You look beautiful," she said and left the room. I sat down on the couch not knowing what I was supposed to do. After a few minutes Demetri walked in and froze for a second.

"I'm glad I asked for Heidi's help." He said pulling me while looking me over.

"Where are we going?" I asked as he led me out of the room and to the garage.

"Heidi already told you," he said, "I'm taking you dancing."

"But I can't dance." I said as he drove us out of town.

"I will help you." He said smiling at me and I sighed.

"Order anything you want." Demetri said as we sat at a two person booth in a very expensive looking restaurant. There was a large open floor where couples were dancing. Many of the women were dressed like me.

"I can't read this menu," I replied, "it's in foreign." He chuckled and took the menu form me.

"Actually you're the foreign speaker." He said looking over the menu. The waitress walked up then and he said something to her in Italian. She nodded and wrote down what he ordered for me and walked off.

"Come on." Demetri said taking my hand and leading me the dance floor. I sighed and let me wrap his arm around my waist. Heidi was right. Demetri took the lead and spun me around the dance floor until my food came.

"You're a good dancer Scarlett." Demetri said as I ate.

"You were doing most of the dancing," I said, "so you're a good dancer." After I ate he paid and we left. The stars were shining out over head and I smiled up at the sky.

"Remind me to take you to a picnic under the stars," Demetri said as he watched me.

"I would like that." I said and we stopped by his car. I looked at him when he pulled me close to him.

"So why did you take me out tonight?" I asked and he smiled.

"Because I want something." He said.

"What?" I asked nervously.

"Just a kiss." He said and pulled me in for a very passionate yet soft kiss.
