Disclaimer-I own nothing, I often dream of owning Jason, but I always seem to wake up...Damn...
You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye on the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't You?
-You're So Vain by Carly Simon-
"You told him? My God girl I leave you alone for less than a month and you go off running your mouth!"
I bit my lip and held the phone tighter to my ear. "I really had no choice Coraline, he walked in with me in Josef's room..."
I heard her sigh. "Well, you could have lied your way out of it...Mick doesn't take news like this well."
"Yea, I know that now!"
While in Europe I had spent most of my time with Coraline, I couldn't help but feel like she was family. She had, after all, helped raise me into the vampire I am now.
I heard the door open, I looked up and Josef was leaning against the door frame with a smirk on his face. He knew exactly who I was talking to, and he didn't like it.
"So, what are you going to do?"
I sighed. "If I knew that, I wouldn't be calling you..."
"I think the best thing you can do is just give him some time. Mick could never hate you, it's just not his personality to hate someone..."
"That's what Josef said."
"Then why are you calling me? You already had your answer, Josef knows Mick just as well as I do."
"I don't know, I guess I wanted to see if there was any other thing I could do."
"Just give it time. I know that patience isn't your strong point, but you have to try at least."
"Thanks...I'll call you soon..."
"Bye!"
We hung up and I tossed the phone on the end of the bed. Josef just continued to smirk at me.
"You called Coraline?"
"Yes, I called Coraline...is there a problem with that?"
He shrugged. "No, it's just that I don't know anyone who would willingly put themselves in Coraline's presence."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "I didn't like your answer to my problem so I went for a second opinion."
"I know, but Coraline?"
I rolled my eyes. "Well normally in a situation like this, I would call Mick, but he's not exactly talking to me right now!"
He gave me a small smile and walked over to the bed, I ran my arm around his back and put my head against his stomach. "I can't stand the thought of Mick being mad at me...I just can't."
"He will forgive you, just give it time...we do after all, have eternity."
"But I don't want to...I want it to go back to how it was before..."
He laughed. "What? When you would take three baths before you left here just so he wouldn't smell me on you? Or how you had a totally different set of clothes you wore around him and around me so that my scent wouldn't be on your clothes?"
"I...yes...well no...Dammit! I don't know!"
He laughed again and I hit him in the chest. "Ow! Don't take your anger out on me! I didn't do anything!"
"Yes you did! If you would have just let me tell him, things would have turned out differently, instead you bust in with you insensetive comments..."
He smirked. "You were taking to long."
I glared up at him. "Put yourself in my position, I felt like I was telling my father I was sleeping with his best friend."
He grimace. "That just sounds disgusting."
"Well, that's basically the position I was in..."
"Yea, but, when you say 'father's best friend' I get a vision of a middle-aged, balding man..."
I laughed. "And I now know who Carly Simon was talking about." He gave me a confused look, and I just stared at him in disbelief. "Carly Simon...'You're So Vain'...ring any bells?"
He nodded. "Yes, now it does...I'm not vain..."
I laughed and stood up off the bed, I walked past him towards the door. "Yes, you are."
I heard him walking behind me as I headed towards the kitchen. "I'm not vain."
I grabbed the bottle of blood from the fridge. "Yes, you are."
-2 Days Later-
"Oh! Baisez tout cela au diable!" I gently pushed the lid of the freezer open and rubbed my forehead. I can't believe the loud thud of me hitting my head on the lid didn't wake Josef up.
The pounding on the door continued. I looked at the clock, it was barely noon.
"This better be a life or death situation, because if it's not I'll make it one..."
I pulled on Josef's shirt and headed downstairs towards the door. I was still rubbing my forehead when I opened the door.
"Mick...what are you doing here?"
He stared at me for a second, like he wasn't sure what to say. Without thinking stepped closer and wrapped my arms around him, it took him a moment to respond the hug, but he did soon.
"I'm sorry we didn't tell you...I'm so sorry."
He kissed the top of my head. "I wish you would have."
I pulled back and looked up at him. "I promise, no more secrets ok?"
"Well there are somethings about you and Josef's...erm...relationship, that I don't want to know...but when it comes to the big stuff, please tell me."
I nodded with a smile. "Deal."
