CHARLIE'S POV
I was living back at my little house. I turned my bedroom into a gym and practice when I finished seeing Belle. Which her father made pretty clear I was not aloud to do, she would sneak to my house, but she wouldn't stay long... Too Dangerous. Her father hated my guts and I knew it wasn't me precisely. I knew he was terrified. That man was deeply in love with his wife, and I knew me and his daughter brought painful memories.
But I could not make myself stay away from her... I did try, oh how I tried so many times before... I just have to do what she kept doing... Fight for our love... Even if it kill's me in the process.
So I been in my gym for an hour now, when there was a knock on my door. I walked towards it, and open it. Mister Thomson was at my door.
My mouth dropped open. I stepped aside and let him walk inside. I closed the door, watching him. I walked to the livingroom and sat down. He did the same.
"Hello there Charlie."
"Hi... Sir."
"Have I thank you, for saving my daughter's life yet again?"
"It's not necessary Sir. I would have done it regardless."
"And now you two are bonded." He said with a hint of annoyance.
"I'm so sorry... I did try to save her-"
"Yet you turned her." His eyes turned dark for a quick second.
"You rather she died?" He pursed his lips.
"No... I would not survived that."
"Then?"
"I want you to lose in this tournament."
"Sir... Your daughter is not going to give up. She's proven that, when-"
"DO YOU want her to give up?" I sigh.
"No... I don't. Yet I had tried to keep my distance. Your daughter can be quite persistent and stubborn. I could fight what I felt for her, as long as she stayed away."
"So now you won't?"
"I can't Sir...I'm...Sorry."
"No even to be rich?"
"It would not mean anything... If I don't have her."
He glared at me. "Answer me one last question." I nodded. "Who made the first move?" I gulped. I could lie... But he would see right thru.
"I did." I whispered.
"When?"
"When... we rescue her, from Peter... I could not control my emotions and kiss her." I though he would be mad, but he just looked surprised.
"You held your feelings back until then?"
"Yes.. And never kissed her... The thought of thinking she would be dead thinking her feelings were not corresponded back... Droved me to kiss her that day."
He gave me a sympathetic look and stood up slowly. "Well, I have no other choice but to say... Good luck." With that he walked out.
I threw myself back in the cough. I didn't know how many minutes passed... But eventually there was another knock on the door. I groaned loud and clear, I stood up slowly and walked towards the door. Opening it yet again. Then my mouth dropped open.
"What are you doing here?" I hissed under my breath. She put a hand on my back, and the other one she grabbed my hair passionately and pulled me to her and kiss me. As soon as our lips touched, my lips parted giving her access to my mouth. I pulled her inside the house, and closed the door with my leg.
We found our self in the sofa, she under me, this was not our usual makeout session. She was putting more passion into the kiss. Not that I'm complaining. She took my shirt off, then her's. When she started fumbling with my zipper of my pant's... That's when I put her hands above her head and stared at her, studying her face.
She was upset. Although she was smiling seductively at me, it did not reach her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." She lie. I stared at her.
"I want to have sex with my boyfriend. I'm not a kid anymore." I smiled a little amused at her little tantrum, she was too hot, for her own good. The fact that she was under me, with only jeans and a bra was turning me on. She elevated her leg softly and caress my tight with it.
I fought the urge to moan, Because if I did. She wins. "We are not dating right now." I reminded her. "It has been put on hold."
She glared at me. "You know damn well, we are together, no matter what my dad say's." I smiled at her, and watched her trying to fight my grasp. Ever since she was turned into a vampire, she has been stronger than me, and she was enjoying it way too much. But it was fading, and she was now like any other new born. So I held my grounds.
"Belle... What's wrong?" She looked away. I held her down with only one hand, then with the other one, I held her chin softly with two fingers and made her look at me. "What's wrong?" I whispered. She sigh, I let go of her hands, she rested them to her side. I put my hands on each side of her.
"I had a fight with my dad... I follow him here, afraid he came to kill you." I smiled down at her.
"Well, he did bribe me." She arched an eyebrow interested.
"And?"
"Of coursed I said no." She giggle.
"I though you would accept the money, and become rich." She said full of sarcasm.
I laughed, glad, she wasn't that upset anymore. "Is that how much Faith you have on me?"
"I have less." I arch an eyebrow at her.
"I see how it is. Now that you have me, you don't think I'll stay."
"Exactly." She tried not to smile. I got off her fast. Walked to the door and open it, gesturing for her to leave. She stood up slowly, staring at my eyes with a seductive smile. She took off her bra, and threw it at my face. As soon as the bra hit the floor. I closed the door fast making her laugh. I ran towards her trying to grab her arm.
She got away. Stupid vampire abilities. When she was human, it was easier. She arch an eyebrow at me, clearly guessing my though.
"Are you turned on by me, Mister Smith?"
"No." I lie. She started sliding off her jeans slowly. I ran to her and tackled her to the floor. She burst out laughing.
"What are you doing?"
"Trying to stop you from undressing."
"Why?" I looked down at her, noticing her perky breast. I could not control my actions. I leaned down on her and kissed her softly. She moaned in my mouth. She put her hands around my neck, pulling me to her...
I don't know where I found the strenght, but I got up, and helped her get dressed. I walked her to the cough and sat her on my lap.
"Sorry... You were saying?" She glared at me. "Belle. I know.. Since we met, you been wanting my beautiful body." I said teasingly, and I knew I pissed her off futher. I clear my throat. "Something IS bothering you." A tear fell down her cheek.
She nodded. "I have to interview the challengers." I laughed at her a little relaxed. I could not helped myself. She wiped the tear away angrily.
"Baby, that is part of the process-"
"I tried to cheat." I stared at her confused.
"How can you cheat with that?"
"I was selecting the weak ones." She said in a small voice.
"How many did you had to pick?"
"My father..." She gulped and looked away.
"Belle?"
"First it was 50..." That was a big number.
"How many are applying for you?"
"Hundred's." Whoa...
"Well-"
"My dad said he'll have to approved them, my choices, and I already choosed 10, before he caught up to me."
"He can unchoose them." I shook my head. "So?"
"My father up the number to a 100. He's going to break it into groups of 20, out of the 20 only 10 will come out for me to choose."
"How long?"
"The tournament is going to be a week." I stared at her in disbelieve.
"That's impossible."
"And that's why... I'm worried. Charlie."
"I can do it." I sort of lie. This tournament was meant for ten people to come out winners. I had to be one... But I had to fight 5 to 10 people in a day. By the time I had to fight to be top 10 I would be tired and weak.
"Charlie... You might be immortal, but the people my father is choosing-"
"I'll win." I promised her. She arched an eyebrow at me, clearly not believing me.
When Belle left, she was still worried. As soon as her car drove away, I punch my wall, making a hole. It would not be easy to win... There was going to be 10 winners I just have to be one...
I held onto that and went to sleep...
The day of the tournament finally came. I spend my time, training and buying human blood. Belle bought vampire enhancer. I fought with her, but she would not hear any of it. She did not come often to my house. She was kept busy interviewing candidates.
When the day came a limousine picked me up. I was taken to a big house, next to the arena. I had to shared the bedroom with 5 other vampire's. I rolled my eyes. The room looked expensive. I was choosing my bed, when Kyle walked in.
I threw my bag in the bed, and lay on the top one. Resting my head in the bag.
"Well, well, well. Isn't this perfect?" I closed my eyes ignoring him. "So now you're too good to talk to me?"
I chuckle and stared at him. "Nope, look's like we qualified in the same level." I said in a mocking tone. He glared at me and took the bed under me.
"One stupid mistake-"
"You tried to drink blood, by force from Mister Thomson's daughter-"
"I paid for it." He shiver remembering. I could only imagine his punishment.
"Yet, your still alive-"
"I did not touch her-"
"Thank's that I was guarding her. So... Your welcome." He glared again and ignored me. Thank goodness.
A few minutes later, once we were all settled down. Mister Thomson came into check on us. He gave me an evil smile, and gave each of us a paper. I looked down and stared. I was one of the first 5 for tomorrow. That meant I would pretty much have to fight every day to keep my title, until only 10 remained.
I just bowed my head to him.
"So you are one of the first group?" Kyle asked me once Mister Thomson left.
"Yes."
"He must really want you to lose." He chuckle.
"He must." I said closing my eyes.
I almost crawled to the bathroom. I just ripped off the clothes off my body. They were torned any damn way. I was covered in blood and bruises and everything in my body hurt. I had to fight 5 vampire's that were tough. After the 3 one, I stopped healing. I put the water as hot as I could managed and got in hissing in pain. I washed all the blood off me. I took a long hot shower, until I was really clean. I got dressed in sweat pants, and a tank top. I put on sandals and walked out bumping with Belle.
I stared at her warily. "What are you doing here?" I guess my tone being like a jackass because she wince at it.
"I came to check on you... You got hurt pretty bad." As to make her point she put her hand on top of my eye. I winced.
"I wish I was human..." She murmured. I put both hands on her waist and pulled her to me.
"Then I wouldn't had a chance at your heart... Because I would not qualify." She looked up at me.
"So you're not mad at me?" She pouted. I smiled giving her a quick kiss.
"No. You are so worth it." I let go of her and looked around. I'm pretty sure, her father would use this against me. "But you need to go. You can get me disqualified." She put something in my sweat pant's pocket with a mischievous smile, and walked away. I put my hand in the pocket and took it out. It was a small note with money. I glared at her, but she did not look back.
If my father can cheat, so can I. Drink double smoothie on us.
With all my love,
Belle..
I kissed the note and put it on my pocket. I did order double the blood. I needed a goodnight sleep. Tomorrow would only get worse...
WRITER'S NOTE: Ok, so as I been writing more details about Charlie and Daniel. I been thinking... Should I make a book about the same story, But thru Katherine's POV? See why Daniel is so terrified? Would show the decades they spend away in different bedroom as well. Let me know your opinion on it. :)
