Chapter 8
As they walked to the food table, Cordelia got the feeling that someone was watching her. She turned her head slightly and saw that the director that had beenlooking ather earlier was again staring at her. She took this to be a good sign and positioned Doyle in front of her so that he wouldn't block her out of the director's view. She didn't know much about the director, in fact, she didn't even know his name. It's just her friend, Christine had pointed him out, and said she would be working with him on an advert a few weeks ago. Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Christine since to ask about it. She must have gone back to her family's house to spend the holiday season with them. As they reached the table, Cordelia took out her compact to fix her makeup and was delighted to see that the director was still watching her. Maybe he wanted her for another ad. Maybe he wanted her to take Christine's place. That girl had never been reliable. She put her compact in her bag again and reached for a plate,
"So is he still watching me?" Cordelia asked Doyle
"Who?" he asked, sounding confused
"The guy behind me. He has black hair and he's wearing a suit"
"I see him. Yeah he's watching you. Want me to get rid of him?"
"No!" she almost shouted.
"Okay" Doyle said, looking hurt, and a little jealous
"He's a director" she explained
"Oh" he said, the hurt fading, but the jealousy remaining.
"I'll be back in a second" she said, going to chat with the director, "And don't go anywhere this time"
"I won't" he promised. He watched her leave again, for the second time that evening, not even trying to disguise his jealousy anymore. He knew their conversation would probably just be about work, but it didn't help his self esteem that the person Cordelia had abandoned him for was exceptionally handsome. The type of guy Cordelia would want to date. He saw the man put his hand on Cordelia's arm.
Cordelia grinned at the gorgeous director, as he laid a hand on her arm, but feeling slightly guilty, because she knew Doyle was watching, she suggested,
"Why don't we go over there to chat" gesturing towards the drinks table. He simply nodded and walked towards the drinks table. However, he didn't stop when he reached it; he instead walked into the bedroom behind the table, apparently thinking she was suggesting that. Cordelia followed him in, knowing he probably just wanted to talk, but still not feeling very comfortable going into a bedroom with someone she'd barely spoken to. The uneasiness got worse as he closed the door behind them.
"So" Cordelia began, trying to make the worry subside, "You were saying about an audition?"
"Yeah, you'd be perfect for the part" he said, circling her, looking her up and down, "You have the right eyes, the right hair and you've definitely got the right personality"
"Thanks" she said, happy with the compliments. He stopped in front of her and leaned in to kiss her. She pulled back before his lips touched hers, feeling more uncomfortable than ever.
"I'm sorry; it's not that you're not good looking. You're really, really good looking, but I came with this guy, and there might be something between us. So I'm sorry, this can't happen." She said. The director nodded, looking disappointed but he said,
"It's okay" and he spun her around sharply, holding her tightly against him. Cordelia gasped as she felt elongated teeth brushing at her neck and she wondered how she could be so stupid. So she did the only thing she could think to do in that situation. She opened her mouth, and screamed.
A/N: So what did you all think? Like it? Hate it? Tell me in your reviews! and I'm alsoslightly unsure what to do next? Should Cordelia manage to save herself? Should Doyle rush in to the rescue? Should the vampire get away? Or something completly different? Help me with your sugesstions!
