Chapter 3

"Finally you summon me…"

"Hey… What's up, un?" I asked kind of embarrassed already.

"I thought you would summon me earlier. What took you so long? Were you maybe reconsidering?" The man whose image was haunting my thoughts all day, asked.

I took a deep breath and sighed. How was I going to explain what I felt when I was this… messed up.

"You might want to try using words." The raven offered. Damn him and his mind-thoughts reading. My eyes widened when I realized he had heard it because he smirked.

"Shit, you really should stop listening to what I'm thinking." I pouted and he genuinely chuckled.

"My deepest apologies, for I meant no harm. I find great joy in tantalizing you. I give you my word, I shall prevent myself from trespassing your territory, from now onwards." He promised, while smiling amused.

"I bet you will." I said, sarcasm lacing my every word. We both smiled after that.

"So, my beautiful new partner, what has been on your troubled mind?" He asked as he brushed my fringe behind my ear.

"This is really nice, don't get me wrong, un. You offer me what I have always been dreaming of but something inside me tells me that this must have a downfall. Your dream shouldn't come true that easily, right?" I huffed. Itachi took my hand in his and stared into my eyes.

"I understand your hesitation beloved, but I am not a mere human. I am a vampire and I have pledged my heart to you."

"I still haven't come to terms with you being a vamp, but what does that mean?" I asked raising a brow.

"Vampires do not have one night stands, unless of course you are their meal. I assure you, if you were a one night stand, I wouldn't have marked you." He answered his crimson eyes never leaving my own blue ones.

"So, let me get this straight. You are telling me that you guys don't cheat or fool around?"

"Yes and no, it depends on the situation we are facing and every vampire is different. We are no like werewolves who need to constantly feel the love from their destined mate, we just fall in love." I licked my lips at the answer.

"So werewolves exist too?" Itachi nodded and I stared at him.

"Wait, does that mean that you fell in love with me?" Another smile deemed me speechless.

"Don't look so surprised. I will be yours if you'll be mine, and that's a promise. Now, stop that hammering heart of yours, or I will be tempted to hear your thoughts again."

"No, no, no don't do that! You promised!" I said waving my arms in front of me and blushed like a madman. "Oh, my father invited you over for dinner today…" I said changing the subject. He frowned for a second. "Is he aware of my situation?" he asked afterwards.

"He only knows that you brought me home last night and that I like you." I answered while blushing, my answer melting away his frown.

"When if that is the scenario, I will gladly take on your father's offer." It was my turn to frown.

"You have to speak more like you were actually born somewhat around this century, or my father will think you are a closet pervert or a serial killer…"

"I am something worse and far older, but I can be whatever you want me to be."

"I want you to be yourself. My parents don't have to know about you being a vampire and all…" I said secretly wishing to kiss his lips.

Itachi took my face into his hands and kissed my lips softly. I licked my lower lip afterwards smiling.

"You promised me you wouldn't read my thoughts." I said looking into his eyes.

"I didn't…" He gave me a smirk that melted my heart and made me blush.

Our moment was interrupted by my phone ringing. I huffed and checked my screen, scoffing when I realized that it was a text from Neji; seriously what now? I opened the text and read through. Idiot Neji…

"What is it?" Itachi asked concerned.

"I got a text from my bestie, he wants us to go on a double date with him and his new boyfriend. They are at the park nearby. If you don't want to go, it's totally ok, un."

"Let's go then." Itachi said with a smile, surprising me.

We both got up and I was ready to lead the way, when he caught my hand in his.

"We are an item now, so this is allowed, right?" He cocked his head to the side.

I just smiled, nodding as we continued our way to the park where Neji and his redhead boyfriend were expecting us.

Once we reached the park though, Neji was the only one there. Once our eyes met, I could see his smile. This guy must really make him happy…

"Hey there gorgeous, where is that hot ass of a boyfriend you have?" I asked, giving a wink.

"You're the one to talk, damn Dei I thought you wouldn't go for the hot guys anymore but for the good." Neji smirked back.

"I assure you I am good. I'm Itachi." Itachi said, his face void of emotion. Why was he like that?

"I'm Neji, I have heard a lot from Dei for you. You are lucky I hope you don't mess up because then I'll be free to mess you up badly." Neji answered while smiling.

Itachi nodded and Neji smiled wider.

"Stop intimidating my boyfriend. Where is yours?" I asked trying to lighten the mood.

"He went to buy me some ice-cream. He is such a gentleman. He even came by my house to bring me breakfast…" Neji beamed and Itachi tensed beside me.

"Gaara? What are you doing here?" He asked a hot redheaded guy, with a flaming red tattoo on his forehead and an ice-cream on one of his hands, who also happened to be Neji's boyfriend.

"Do you know each other?" Neji asked. If they did, Gaara is some super being or something, which wasn't good.

"Does your father know you're here?" Itachi asked completely ignoring Neji's question.

"You know his parents? Great I would like to give them a piece of my mind. And stop ignoring me!" Neji said furious but stopped right away when Itachi gave him an icy glare. It was the first time that I saw Neji cowering away. Itachi turned his icy glare to Gaara who didn't even flinch; yep definitely superhuman.

"I'm here with my boyfriend. Dad knows. What are you doing here?" Gaara asked while passing the ice-cream to Neji who was still petrified.

"Sasori is aware? Why didn't he inform me of such important matter?" Itachi said confused and shocked.

"Maybe because you aren't around to talk to. Neji is my special someone, so get over it." Gaara answered, hugging Neji to his chest. "And you didn't answer my question."

Itachi took a moment to compose himself and get rid of any facial expression. Why was he so expressionless and what on earth is going on here?

"Gaara this is Deidara, my own special someone." Gaara's eyes widened and the last thing I saw was the fury in them before I passed out, his growling echoing in my mind.
