Chapter 25: I Quit

David is goes to his place to shower and change, after getting Candice's voicemail to meet her when he got done. He didn't want the filth of his day to be any where near Candice. Everything was taken care of for Josef, Nina was no more the message had been sent, no one with any common sense or sense of self preservation would try and steal from Josef again anytime soon. Now the rest of the night he had to himself, or with Candice he did need to talk to her, maybe Josef was right.

Candice paced around her living room waiting for David to call her back or show up she had left him a message that she needed to talk to him. Hoping she didn't sound to ominous she just didn't know what else to say, she wanted to tell him she quit her job as a freshie, that he was the only set of fangs she wanted in her.

After pacing the room for what seemed like forever, Candice finally gave up and stretched out on the couch trying to calm herself down. A few minutes of steady breathing she felt more relaxed, until a knock at her door kicked her heart back into overdrive. Jumping up from the couch she made her way to the door quickly smoothing herself out along the way.

She opened the door and there he stood, looking as good as ever in his usual jeans, dark shirt and leather jacket. He was leaning against the door frame with both arms like he was going to do push ups or was bracing himself for something major.

"Hey, come on in," Candice moved aside and let him in.

David leaned in and kissed her check as he walked past her into the room.

"I got your message. I was going to come and see you anyways, but you said you had something to talk to me about."

Candice walked to him and took his hands pulling him to the couch to sit face to face with her. He could feel her heart racing and was starting to worry. Candice could since his unease as well.

"Did your job for Josef go okay?"

"It was fine, nothing unusual. I don't think that was what you wanted to talk to me about."

"No, but you seem tense."



David looked down with a small laugh, "Yeah I need to tell you something, and I'm not really sure how."

Candice pulls one of her hands from his and pulled him up to face her, "Just tell me."

David gives one of his heart stopping smiles, "I like you."

Candice smiles at him, "Good, because I like you too."

"That's not what I mean, well it is but…it's more than that. I've never felt this way for anyone before and it's new to me. I just want to make sure you know this before we continue. I know Josef said you would be my freshie, but I don't want you to give me your blood or body as my freshie. I only want you for you." David stops seeing Candice look down her heart still racing he could smell tears, "Why are you crying?"

Candice looks up at him her hands going to her eyes to whip the tears, but when she looks up she is smiling and laughing. David is confused trying to figure out what he had said that was funny he was trying to be honest with her, put his feelings on the line and she was laughing.

"I'm sorry, it's just that this is funny," still laughing and wiping the last tears away.

"I must have missed the joke."

"David I wanted to talk to you tonight about the same thing. I didn't want this to get in the way so I took matters into my own hands. I talked to Josef—"

"When?"

"Today, we must have just missed each other. I quit," Candice said turning her head to the side slightly with a smile.

"What?"

"I quite, so I am no longer your freshie, or any one else's."

David cups her chin in his hand and pulls her to him, his lips finding hers in a gentle kiss. The tender kiss lasted for a brief moment before he pulled back to look into her eyes.

"You didn't have to quit."

"I know I didn't have to. I wanted to. I find myself having feelings for you, strong feelings I don't quite know what to do with. I do know that yours are the only fangs I want inside of me, I want it to mean something."

David takes her lips again this time with more passion and intensity. Candice can feel herself melt against his body, as his tongue traces her lips looking for access. She parts her lips and he seizes the opportunity tasting her, caressing every inch of her mouth, leaving her breathless. Her hands tangle in his hair pulling 

him back to her wanting lips as soon as she has gulped down some air. David traveled kissed from her mouth along her jaw to her soft throat, placing wet sucking kisses along its length. Candice moaned at the touch of his tongue to her bare skin, then again as his fangs grazed her skin.

"David, do it," she almost whispered.

David smiled against her neck kissing his way to her ear, "Not now."

David pulls back, his hands caressing her checks, "I want to take things slow. I don't want to move to fast, I need to figure some things out. Can you be patient with me?"

Candice lets out an exasperated sigh, pulling his forehead to touch hers, "Don't take to long."

"I won't, I promise."

"I will be holding you to that."

"I hope so," David kisses her forehead. "So what do you want to do?"

"Sit with you," she answers innocently.

"Sounds nice, do you want to stick in a movie?"

Candice nods and walks over to pick up the remote handing it to David to search if anything is on, while she retrieved a drink from the fridge. Moments later Candice is settled into David's welcoming arms as they sat to watch a movie.

Okay yeah I know everyone was thinking they were going to get Candice and David sealing the deal…sorry not just yet. Sorry it is taking so long between updates but with these storms every night I have to shut down my computer and that is the majority of the time I write. Then when I can get on…I get on and first have to see what I have missed.
