Okay sorry to all the readers about not having posted anything up, but with school it's been hard. However, I have been working on the next chapter and I'll try to post it up soon. I'm just not satisfied with it yet. But I've felt bad for not having anything up yet after receiving quite a few reviews. So I typed this up fairly quick in hopes to satisfy the reader somewhat. It has no Edward in it just to let you know and it takes place in the past. So I've tried to write something similar to what it might sound like back then. I don't have much experience in writing conversations or situations not of this millennium keep that in mind so you might just have to imagine it is 1900.
It was so peaceful tonight it almost didn't seem real. As if it were merely a dream that would pass on as quickly as it came. I didn't want this night to the end. Nor did I want to go inside and rejoin the party. The party for celebrating the new year, the next millennium, exactly four minutes ago was it official.
I heard the door behind me open and close. I didn't have to guess who it was as the footsteps came closer. I knew instantly who it was simply by his careful, precise footsteps. His hands gently wrapping around my waist only proved what I already knew.
He softly kissed the side of my neck and I smiled. His head slowly lifted up to my ear as he whispered, "Would you mind company?"
"If I say no it won't stop you from joining me, now will it." I turned around wrapping my own arms around his neck while he kept his firmly on my waist. He smiled down at me his teeth glistening in the moonlight. These were times I wished could last.
"Indeed," he replied leaning down placing a kiss on my lips this time.
It was a quick cash, though. His lips lingered on mine for only a minute before his head rose again. Putting on my best disappointed face he chuckled as he rested his forehead on mine. We stared into each other's eyes content, ready to face the next millennium, the 1900s. So far the year was turning out great.
That was until Riley coughed from behind John. We both looked at him wondering what was going on. Riley was a good friend of John's and had been for a while. Once John and I had become mates I met Riley and instantly fell into a nice solid friendship with him. He was sweet and funny, but what I appreciated most was he knew the times when it was best not to be around. Never did he interrupt an intense, romantic, or intimate whatever you prefer moment with John and I until now.
He shifted uncomfortably on his feet. John loosened his grip on my waist. In a very serious tone he asked, "Riley, what is it, we were in the middle of something."
Riley smiled uneasily raking a hand through his locks. "I know, but I need to inform you about James."
As the name left Riley's lips John's hands fell from my waist to his sides. My arms however tightened even more around his neck. I felt almost as if I was restraining him as his body became tense and rigid. His eyes were filled with anger and hate, but looking close enough you could still see the hint of mourning in them.
"I see," John replied after a moment of awkward silence. He turned back to me kissed me swiftly on the cheek and said, "You should go back inside and join your sister. I'm sure she misses your company."
My eyes narrowed at his fake smile as he was trying to encourage me to go inside, so that he and Riley could discuss. He started pulling my arms away from his neck gently and I let him. Trying to decide what was the best decision to make. I hadn't had a chance to catch up with Karina and Craig yet and hadn't seen them in a while. If I don't catch up with them soon it would be a while before I could do it again.
As if sensing my distress he squeezed my hands with his right while lifting his left hand up to my right cheek. Caressing it gently and whispering, "It will be copacetic. Go I will meet up with you soon."
I nodded and left them both entering through the doors back to the celebration. I looked through the window and saw John's calm façade fall now that it was only him and Riley. His anger was well shown and Riley didn't flinch from the rage. He obviously knew and expected John to act like this. He had been his friend for a long time after all. But what I wasn't sure was did Riley see the hurt John was covering up as well or was I the only one who saw that?
Two words you might not understand the meanings of are Cash & Copacetic. I found them on the web as words used back in the early 1900s. Cash means kiss (check means kiss me later) and copacetic means fine or all right. The only other thing I have to say is I just finished reading another vampire series that I really enjoyed and got me a little more inspired in to keep writing this fanficition. It has a totally different concept of vampires and it's by Melissa De La Cruz. There are three out now called Blue Bloods, Masquerade, and Revelations. There will be from what I've read at least ten books to the series. The fourth book is coming out September 1, 2009. Alright now I'll go back to typing the next chapter.
