Okay, so been like 6 months again? Oops! Well anyways, I've been writing a book for a long time now (real book not fan fiction) and today, after five years of planning and writing and blood sweat and tears it's finally done! So I thought I'd post something to commemorate it! So, here you go!
Knowing who it was before I opened the door, I just groaned. "Come in" I yelled and Dimitri strode in along with Rose.
"It was you!" She screamed at me. I wasn't sure what she was referring to so I didn't move.
"You, are you serious? You have no training, no experience, how could you have been the one to kill the three oldest strigoi we know about!" She asked incredulously and I felt Jay stiffen beside me.
"That was what I was telling you to wait for" I said in his ear and he blanched since I had just confirmed it.
"That isn't possible Reen" Rose says and walks up to me. "So tell me who really did and I won't have you expelled." Oh, promise? I wanted to be expelled didn't she get that? Though I didn't really have anywhere else to go….
"If you're telling anyone else about this then it was you who killed them. If it's between us, I did" I say. She was not going to scare me. No matter how good she was, I would always be better. Or, the spirits would be.
"Me? I didn't kill them and neither did you. Who are you covering for?" She asked, fire raging behind her eyes.
"Myself. Yes I did kill them, but if you tell anyone I will deny it." I say. A mother is supposed to love her daughter, not the her more than anything. All I did was be born. Was that really that bad?
Apparently Rose isn't one for words because she stormed out of there faster than you could say leave.
Dimitri followed her like a lost puppy and then there was just Jay and I in the room.
"So that's your deep dark secret?" He asked me.
"Yup" I say and I curl up into a ball on top of my bed.
"You really killed them?" He asked and I nodded.
"Do you know how awesome that is?" He asked me, his face lighting up as my head shot up.
"What?" I asked, royally confused.
"You had no training, no practice and you managed to kick their asses, that is incredible!" Jay said and then hugged me. "I think I'm in love with you" he said jokingly in my ear.
"Mr. Ozera, please don't be so forward with your affections" I told him in a snobby fake British accent.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Cambridge, please do forgive me" he said in the same accent.
"it will take some making up" I state and he laughs.
"That is alright with me" he says and grabs my hand to pull me off the bed. "How about some ice cream?"
"Yes, one hundred percent yes!" I say and we walk towards the café.
"So, are you enjoying your time here?" Jay asked me as we continued to walk towards the café.
"Not really, so far there's only been one good thing that's happened" I say.
"What was that?" He asks, his voice showing that he's a little hurt.
"You" I state simply. His head whips around and graces me with the most brilliant smile I have ever seen.
"Really?" He asks and I nod.
"Really" I say.
We make it to the café and around the back is where they keep the ice cream. We each get a bowl and load it full of as much junk as will fit.
"It gets better" jay says as he takes a spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.
"Says the prince" I mutter
"Really, it does, besides you have the prince to do your bidding" he says and smirks.
"Really? Hm, well, what should I make you do first then?" I ask thinking of all the things I could make him do before I settled on the one that I had wanted since I first spoke to him.
"Well?" he asked me, waiting for an answer.
"Kiss me" I breathe, expecting him to laugh at me, and run away to tell all of his friends how much of a stupid whore I am, but he doesn't.
Jay pauses for a moment to make sure I actually said what I did and when he is certain his lips crash onto mine. They move in sync, even though we're in a public place I can't help but concede when Jay pulls me onto his lap. My hands grab fistfuls of Jay's hair and his arms snake around my lower back, pulling me flush against his chest.
When we need to breathe we begrudgingly break apart and take deep breaths, I'm excited that he's as out of breath as I am.
"Please tell me you didn't do that on a whim" Jay asks in a hushed voice.
"I didn't" I reassure him. He smiles and moves his lips back to mine.
I couldn't tell you how long we kissed, all I know is that I never wanted it to stop But stop it did when I felt myself be yanked backwards by two strong hands.
"You do not kiss Lissa's son!" I heard an enraged Rose yell. Well shit.
