As I walked down the dark alley I tried not to imagine drinking her blood from her lifeless body. I shivered involuntarily. She noticed, of course.
"Don't tell me you're cold." She said, at the same time turning towards me, incredulously.
"No, I'm not cold." You would be surprised. "Are you?" I challenged, turning to her also.
"No I'm not cold." She answered curtly while turning back to look ahead of her. No, you're very very warm. I thought. I wanted to start a conversation, but I just couldn't find the right way to start it. 'So I was wondering if you could possibly come over again to my house. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that we're vampires and we are thirsting for your blood.' Yes. That's just how'll start.
Edward you look preoccupied, focus on her! Alice mentally yelled. I reset my features to more relaxed ones.
We kept walking a ways until we reached her street. She hesitated a little. "Do you want me to walk you down or that's a bad idea?" I so wanted to stay with her a little while longer.
"No, I think that's a bad idea. I don't know how unconscious Charlie is and I don't want to risk it." She started to flush. I began to think of other things.
She's right. He'll get up in nine minutes and fifteen seconds!
"Trust me he's unconscious." I smiled lightly, ignoring Alice and worrying at the same time. For some odd reason she started to blush even more.
"Um…I still don't want to risk it. But thank you." She looked away.
"No problem. So tell me, are you not going to the Spring Dance because Seattle is bursting with excitement and you want to immerse yourself in it or is that an excuse not to go?" I teased.
She looked at me like she wanted to kill me. Ironic once again…I thought wryly. I fought a smile.
"I have things to do there." She answered frostily.
"If I were to ask you to the dance, would you say 'yes'?" I raised an eyebrow.
She stared at me for a full second before answering. "Are you asking me?" Meekly, she looked down at her feet.
"Sure." I threw my head back, "Why not?" I looked back at her.
"Sure." She answered, her heart beating double time.
"Perfect." I said, trying to not show my euphoric state right there in front of her.
"Perfect." Her coffee eyes on me with an unfathomable emotion. Oh how I hated not knowing what she was thinking!
Charlie's going to get up in five minutes and twenty seconds. Let her go. Alice warned somewhere in the shadows.
"Ok, Charlie's gaining consciousness. I think you should go now." I said, wanting her not to study my statement.
"Ok, will I be seeing you tomorrow?"
Yes she will. You'll spend most of the school day together. Alice stated, confident while I saw the vision go through her mind. I smiled at his.
"Yes you will. Now go or Charlie will ground you." I added, saddened by the fact that she had to leave me.
"Good. I'll see you tomorrow!" She waved and power-walked the rest of the way. I stood there watching her and listening to her until she threw her bed covers over her head.
Ok Edward let's go! Alice exclaimed, giddy.
"Race you home." I couldn't help but let the feeling of exhilaration that ran through me.
"You're on!" Alice was beside me then, the second she finished we were off.
