Chapter nineteen
He better be ready
I take the roses from his hands giving him a sad smile with a little sniffle. I look at him seeing his hopeful face thinking this is going to work. Oh Alec you're easier to read then Bella Swan and that's just sad. I give them a sniff and then suddenly start running to my room acting like I'm crying. There still are tears from earlier on my face so it's easy to deceive him. I turn to see him on his knees like he's crying but vampires can't cry.
I get to my room and flop on my bed I hear Sky cooing in the crib next to me. This lesson is going to something he really needs and I'm the only one ballsy enough to do it. Oh Alec just wait and see all that's in store for you.
I roll over snuggling in the covers letting sleep take me.
When I wake up I hear Sky crying I roll over getting out of bed picking her up bouncing her slightly. I get in the mini fridge that Aro bought for me grabbing the ready made bottle putting it in the microwave… yeah Aro made us are own kitchen in are suite. So I walked around the room bouncing her waiting for the microwave to beep. Finally it beeps and I grab it putting some on my wrist to check if it's to hot knowing that it's not I walk to the rocking chair. As I sit down I feed Sky quickly sitting her in the floor to play thinking of what to do about Alec. What can I do to make him see that I'm not going to wait forever? I start thinking when it hit me Demetri Alec doesn't like Demetri. Also Demetri loves me he'd do whatever I asked so maybe we could have a fake relationship to mess with Alec's head… just a little. I hear a sharp knock on the doorway turning I say "Speak of the devil I was going to go looking for you." Demetri never really talks much to people…except me. Demetri is almost a completely different person when he's around me… well except for his womanizing ways. He gives me his famous smirk that made women swoon. He says "Well what did you want with me I'm your humble servant my lady" wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. I couldn't help but laugh hitting him lightly on the shoulder, him being overly dramatic acts like he's been burned with a lighter falling to my feet causing Sky to giggle. I just shake my head smiling that's when I feel him grabbing my legs throwing me over his shoulder. I squeal as he runs out the doorway running around the castle to the gardens. He acts like he's going to put me down then quickly spins me so that he's carrying me bridal style. I laugh my head off as he spins me around running towards the…NO NOT THE POOL!
SPLASH
I shake my head looking at Demetri who jumped in the water with me in his arms. I splash him with water which caused an all out water war. We look like we're nuts but I'm having so much fun that's when I looked up seeing Alec looking at me and Demetri his eyes filled with jealousy. I haven't even asked Demetri to help me yet but boy is it working. I smiled wrapping my arms tighter around Demetri's neck. I saw Alec's hands clench at his sides and Demetri's tighten around me. I look at Alec questioningly acting innocent like I have no idea why he's acting like this. He shots daggers at Demetri who doesn't even notice or just seems not to care. I peck Demetri on the lips causing him to let me go letting me swim to the other side of the pool. He looks at me saying "How did you get over there?" I said "Half werewolf half elf remember?" His face changed in realization and he gave me a mischievous look diving under water. Oh crap I try climbing up the pool walk but I can't get myself up Demetri keeps getting closer so I just close my eyes. I feel someone grabbing under my arms pulling me out of the water into their arms causing Demetri to hit the pool wall. I look up to see Alec's crimson red eyes staring into mine…gulp. Breathe in and out just act normal like this doesn't affect you at all, like you can't feel his body heat seeping from him to you or his arms flexing from how tightly he's holding you. I definitely can't think of his breath on my neck making my pulse accelerate. I start to act on impulse when I feel Chelsea's hand on my shoulder. Alec puts me down reluctantly so I follow Chelsea as she walks me back into the castle away from all the men. She walks me to her room which just happened to look like an Indian palace. Bright pillows scattered everywhere with different colored drapes over each window.
I turn my head to the left seeing a huge circular pool surrounded by small trees and a large tree with big thick branches covered in colored shawls and drapes. You'd never think Chelsea the quiet girl that's behind Aro would be as outgoing as she is. Yet the reason you don't see it is because of how important her power is to the Volturi she can how do I say this… break bonds between vampires or create need ones. Aro cares for her like a prized gem passed down from generations everyone knows it. That's the reason Chelsea's mate Afton is still alive because Chelsea gets whatever see wants from Aro but Afton doesn't know any of this. Afton is what you say a wall flower his power is nothing really he can make himself invisible but it can be easily deactivated by someone with good focus or mental shields.
I hear Chelsea make a coughing sound causing me to turn to the right seeing her sitting on a huge pillow motioning me over to her. I walk slowly over to her sitting next to her she says "So what game are you playing with little Alec hmmm? You flirting with Demetri is getting under his skin badly. You playing game with him… good choice on choosing Demetri the charming gentleman we picked up long ago but be careful he really is a Casanova and he enjoys the chase." I explained to her everything every little detail of the crap going on between Alec and myself. She just sits there and listens after I've said everything I could think of she says "Well your in a sh*t storm now aren't you?" I sadly nod my head when I hear her say "But I think your doing the right thing, make him realize you're not going to wait on him that if you want you can have anyone. That if he wants to be with you he has to step up and be a man to help you raise your daughter. Just don't get yourself hurt or that little angel in the process of showing him what he's missing ok?" I nod my head at her causing her to smile and she says "Just know that if you need me all you have to do is ask." I nod and start walking towards the door when I hear her say "Oh and bring Sky by sometime I haven't gotten to see her very much and I have a present for her." I smile telling her I will while walking out the door. I start to turn to go to my room when I run straight into Afton. He gives me a sheepish smile mumbling an apology before asking if Chelsea is in there. I nod causing him to smile broadly before thanking me running in the room…great I need to speed up now. I almost run down the corridor until I bounce off of someone else really who could it be now? I was in someone's arms when I looked up I saw Demetri's Casanova gleaming red eyes with his eyebrows in a suggestive position saying "Are you falling for me already Blaire?"
I give him a look which pretty much says "Really that's all you can come up with." He laughs at my face then says in all seriousness "We need to talk" I nod at him and we walk to the garden. He sits on a bench motioning me to sit down next to him. I sit down saying quickly "I need to ask you a favor" he nods his head for me to go on when I say "I need you to act like we're a…item to make Alec jealous. Are you ok with helping me out?" He looks at me a wide grin on his face with a suggestive look in his eyes he says "How convincing do you want to be darling?" I look at him and say "pretty convincing" he leans closer to me wrapping his arm around my waist whispering in my ear "Laugh then lay your head on my shoulder Alec is watching." I do exactly like he says looking out of the corner of my eye seeing Alec standing stock still hand clenched tightly around a brick crushing it into dust.
This plan might work faster than I thought it would.
