The thing is I just cannot move. Why the hell do I find him so attractive! He's just another womanizer for God's sake! I finally manage to take his hand OFF my thigh.
"Mr. Williams…"
"Call me Diamond."
"Mr. Williams…"
"Diamond!"
By that time everyone is looking at us with the 'what's-the-deal' look.
"Excuse me for a minute." He leaves the table and goes to the bathroom. Jesus! What am I to do with this man!
I enter the bathroom and look at myself in the mirror. Splash the water on my face. What the hell is wrong with me! I can ALWAYS, and I mean ALWAYS play it cool. Around her- no can do. I think she doesn't know who I am to her. If she knew she'd be very nervous. Plus, I cannot see her using any powers. If she were a vampire I'd feel it. If she were a witch she'd probably try using her powers on me (cut my head off pour exemple). It's full moon so she's not a werewolf.
The tactic. Think of the tactic with her.
Come back there. Play it cool. Make sure she knows that she wants you. You've got LOADS of time. She works for you, man!
Uh-oh. He's coming back. Looking too confident.
"Where were we?" he questions as he sits down next to me.
"The cases." I answer smugly. Why is he looking at me like that? God, his eyes are soo… and that shirt!
He throws himself at me and kisses me. It's not the 'first-innocent-play-it-nice' kiss. Oh, no! It's hard, passionate. It makes you want more. Before I even know it we are both lying on the couch, him being on top of me. I pull my leg around his waist as he kisses my neck. GOD, do I feel like exploading!
"Serena?"
GOD, it was my fantasy! I WAS FANTASISING ABOUT HIM WITH HIM RIGHT NEXT TO ME. Three words come to my mind- oh my god.
"Sorry, I'm just a little bit tired."
"You know we can relax now.." he purred seductively.
Suddenly I got this weird feeling. Déjà vu?
I saw a thousand pictures. Myself on a bed with him, both of us naked. I saw our wedding… Laughing, in a restaurant. Out of nowhere I remembered something. I used to be with him! In the past. Oh Jesus what the fuck is going on?
"I'm sorry I'm not particularly well. Can we please finish this tomorrow at 5 pm my office?"
"Sure…"
He started talking but I was already out the door. What was that? What's going on with my life!
I reached my apartment and looked under my bed. Took out a huge, thick, old book "The witch's tale". It contains just about anything a witch should know- legends, myths, spells. I remember reading something about the witch princess.. The famous legend! No-one knows where she is, how she looks like. She committed suicide because her race was to be taken over by the vampires. What else was there?
I opened the book. Page 3123 and started reading.
Knock knock
"SERENA! It's 6 am! Thought you were asleep. How did the date go?"
JESUS! I've been reading this for the past 8 hours! It seems the story is much more complicated. I actually start remembering things. That's why I can feel the vampires so well. I am a part of them in a way. Diamond is much stronger than me (my powers would do VERY little harm to him!) but he doesn't know if I was born with the same abilities as before I was reborn. Point for me.
"SERENA!"
Ups. Forgot about Mina. "I've been calling out your name for the past 2 minutes! Where were you?"
"I still have to meet him today. SHIT! I have to get to work!"
"Serena, it's 6 AM! We have to leave at 7. Don't worry. HOW WAS THE FUCKING DATE!"
"Mina, I have to get ready. We finished early because I was tired. I like him a lot."
SHIT! Did I just say that?
"God, I must be still drunk" I say and go to the bathroom.
The way to work is tiring because Mina constantly keeps on asking me 'What was he wearing?' 'do you plan to meet him again?'. Jesus, even I don't know what to do.
"Serena!" I turn around to see Andrew
"How did the meeting go? Did he try anything? 'Cause if he did…"
"Than what Andrew? Tell me, than what! You sent me on this meeting, remember? Since you stopped caring let's keep it business- Mr. Williams is coming here in the afternoon because we haven't finished."
I go to my office and sit down frustrated. I don't know what to tell him. Hell, I don't even know what to think about this situation!
"Serena…" there is Andrew again.
"Look, I have lots of work."
"I'm sorry. I really am. I cannot do anything, you know that"
"Well, I am the girl that's in this Andrew, so excuse me for being angry frustrated or however you'll call it."
"Wanna be left alone?"
"Yes."
I am destined to be with that vampire. He probably knows it's me already. If it's destiny it cannot be stopped. Jesus, I mean how can you just wait around till it gets you! I won't!
The whole day I sit and do some stupid paper work. Get to know the cases of Diamond. From what I can see I'm gonna have to spend a lot of time with this guy!
"Hello" someone whispers into my ear. I jump up and turn around to find an annoying vampire smirking at me.
"How the fucking hell did YOU get IN HERE!" I didn't even notice the anger that started building up inside me.
"Tsk, tsk, why should such horrid words come out of such a beautiful mouth? Ladies these days.." he pondered.
"How am I not supposed to swear when OUT OF NOWHERE a VAMPIRE appears IN MY OFFICE!"
Diamond raised a brow and crossed his arms over his chest and looked at me. What the fuck is he waiting for! Christmas?
"You find me attractive. That's why you are so frustrated. I'd like to remind you that you were always so calm, steady- that is before you met me. Now you cannot get me out of your mind, which annoys you even more. Remember the spaghetti incident with the French guy? You were even calm than!"
"HOW THE FUCKING HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT! You put a file on me or what!"
There was this French guy, over a month ago, who was flirting with me. He was just crossing the line! In front of my bosses he told me 'he'd like to have me in his bed' which he later said, was not what he meant to say,it's his bad English. When I was sitting at the table, eating like everyone else, not only did he switch places with Andrew, but he put his hand on my thigh. What do I do? Upss, how did the spaghetti get on your pants sir? With all the calmness..
"That's for me to know and for you to find out.."
" I WILL NOT FIND OUT! I SIMPLY REFUSE TO! I REFUSE TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU!CAN YOU HEAR ME!"
"I'd be surprised if the whole NY hasn't heard you by now.." he pointed out. "plus, you are my attorney and something more…"
"What the f.."
"Now now no need to use such harsh words. I see you're not in a mood. I just came over because you didn't let me finish yesterday. Today I have a party- more official, if you know what I mean. Please do come with Andrew and I'll find the time for us to finish YESTERDAYS affairs". Affairs? Did I just hear affairs?
"Don't worry" he adds," you don't need invitations. The party starts at six. Your dress awaits you in your apartment. Till I see you again." He kisses me on the cheek. Oh his lips are so soft.
And he vanishes.
Wait. WHAT DRESS?
