Chapter 36 Morganville Vampires!

Carrie's P.O.V

I was having a great time. Cayd had took me bowling and of course he was winning, but only by a bit. He was a really great kid, but i couldn't help but compare him to Tyler. If Tyler was here he would joke about the way i throw a bowling ball, where as Cayd just laughs at me. He wasn't mean or anything like that, in fact he was the nicest person had just knocked down all the bowling pins.
'Oh yer! Cant help being good cant i?' He says. I punch him playfully on the arm.
'Whatever, i'll be beating you in a minute so just watch your back k?' I joke.
'Okay then, go ahead' He laughs and sits down.I aim the bowling ball at the pins, but sadly only knocked down three.
'I thought you said you was going to win?' He asked.
'Whatever just take your turn' I say. He picks up his bowling ball and throws it at the pins.
'Full house baby!'He announces, and grins at me.I flip him off and he laughs.
'You need to learn some manners, lady' He says
'Oh yer sorry Dad' I said. He smiles and checks his watch.
'You wanna go get something to eat now? Or do you want to stay and do this?' He questions
'Erm, lets get something to eat' I say and get up. We hand our clown looking shoes back in and put our original shoes back on. We then went to get some fish and chips which was near thing you should know about me is that i love normal dates, i dont mind the posh fancy restaurants but normal ones like this are great.
'-So she cut off half of my hair, I had to wear my hat for about 6 weeks until the rest grew back' He was saying.
'Your sister sounds great' I say
'Great?She cut my hair, and she'll probably cut yours if she got hold of it' He told me
'It must be great not being the only child' I said
'It can be annoying but i suppose its ok' He says
'Are you really protective over her?' I ask
'Yes, very i dont like hearing her talking about other boys. I dont know what type of boys there like' He points out.
'Wow, i dont think anyone is that protective over me.' I say.
He laughs 'Oh trust me, your family is very protective over you'
'How do you know?' I ask
'I...I can just tell' He says
'They didnt say anything did they?'
'Nope not at all. But i think they would if they knew what the boys are like with you at school' He said
'What do you mean?'
'Well, they all think your hot for starters, and most are actually considering dating you' He tells me.
'What? I wouldn't date half the boys in the school. I didnt even know they recognized me'
'Well trust me darling they are quite popular already' He says.
'I had no idea' I said. He just laughs and carries on eating.

'So what do you think of the school?' He asks me.
'Its ok. I mean i get to see people with weird coloured hair and i'm actually getting close with this girl' I say
'You on about Tiffany arnt you? She had dyed her hair like bright blonde' He laughs
'Yer well she shouldn't have messed with my audition' I said
'What? Did you have something to do with it?'
'No...Kinda...Ok yes i did and she knows that' I said
'Your crazy. I'v never met someone like you before, you just so... fierce' He told me
'Fierce? Really? I thought you was going to go with Crazy Carrie or something' I joke
'Nah to casual, Fierce is a better word' He laughs, i shake my head and smile. I took out my phone and checked the time. 10:20.
'Wow i cant believe its twenty past ten already' I stopped eating and checked his watch.
'Ok, well i need to take you home, like now' He tells me and gets up. I got up after him and followed him to his car.
'Why are we going home?'
'Because your dad wants you home by half past ten. I dont want to be in his bad books' He told me as we got into the car.
'So he did say something?' I ask. He started the car
'Well you know just normal stuff a dad would say' He says as we pull out the parking area.
'And what does that mean?'
'It means that he said, he want you in at half ten, and that i should keep it PG .Something like that anyway' He shrugs
'Oh i am going to kill him' I mutter, and Cayd laughs.
'He's your dad, he's obviously going to say something'
'He doesn't have a right'
'He has every right' Cayd told me whilst soon changed the subject and got to know each other more. Cayd was such a nice guy but...i just dont see us together. The car had stopped and we took our seat belts off and got out the car. He walked me to the gate.

'Thanks for tonight' I say
'No problem.' He said
'I'm also sorry for my bad bowling skills' I joke, and he laughs.
'Yer you need to work on that' He says and stares at me.
'Listen Cayd, i dont think that we are... you know' I said
'Going to date? You didnt feel anything either?' He asks
'Not really. I can just see us being close friends you know?'
'Yer. I'll see you tomorrow at school' He says and then kisses me on the cheek. I smiled at him.
'See you tomorrow' I said. Then i heard the front door opening.
'Carrie! Its dark come on in!'Mum yelled. I sighed and looked back at him.
'Good night Cayd, i'll see you tomorrow' I said. He started to walk over to his car.
'See ya at school Carrie' He shouts and gets in his car. I wave at him before running inside. Everyone was up but Tyler.
'Carrie! How did it go?' Eve asked me whilst giving me a hug.
'Great, i thought you would all be in bed or something' I told them
'Oh us? Nope your dad was to worried' Mum said
'Can you blame me? Half ten is a late time to be coming in' Shane says
'I hope he didnt do anything to you' Barry says. I stare at him.
'No, he was fine. Dont worry' I said
'Well we'll talk about it when the boys arnt around' Mum says and grins at me.
I laugh 'Sure, but erm...its late so i'm gonna go to bed'
'Ok sweetie night' Mum said and kisses me on top of my forehead Even though i was taller than my mum, when she kissed me on the forehead it was never awkward. I was about to walk out but stopped.
'Is Tyler already in bed?' I asked.
'Yer he went up ages ago, he said he was tired' Michael replies.
'Oh... night' I say and walk up the stairs and into my bedroom. I hope Tyler isnt in a mood with me. I hate arguing with him, mainly because i like him. I cant help but smile around him, and when he kissed my neck before, i dont think i'v ever wanted him more. That's why i cant date Cayd, because i like Tyler to much. Maybe he will be all happy tomorrow. Its like the mood he is in has a effect on me as well, if he's happy i'm happy. If he's sad then i'm i feel down. I want to be with him. But its like he doesn't want me, i mean sure he's kissed me but i do have my doubts. Maybe if i date other guys he will realise that he maybe like me. But i'm not that sort of person, so what else can i do? There is nothing else that will attract him to me. Or maybe there is. If i play hard to get and add a bit of teasing in there. Then maybe he will start to like me. All i need to do is flirt a little and get him to see me talking to other guys and then BOOM. He will realise that he like me. I hope this works because i really, really like him. Fingers crossed.

Wow, is this like the shortest chapter i'v ever done? So this is what happened on the date...a bit boring i know. But Carrie has a plan...we will have to see how that goes :D Please comment your thoughts. Thanks for reading :)
