Chapter Eleven
When Carolyn woke up she was facing away from Andy but she could feel his cold breath on the back of her neck and it made her almost giggle but she managed to control herself. As soon as she moved Andy's arm tightened around her waist and pulled her straight back to where she was. She knew Andy wasn't asleep and that he had stayed up all night just lying next to her and watching her. In some aspects this could be considered creepy but when you've experienced all that Carolyn has then you start learning the real definition of creepy. She turned around slightly so that she was facing Andy and she let a small smile cross her face when she saw him smiling at her. He leaned forward and pecked her lips so lightly that Carolyn found herself practically begging for more. When he pulled away it was only so he could lean his head against the top of hers. He was wearing a shirt with short sleeves so all Carolyn could see was Andy's bare arms.
"How was your sleep?" He asked sweetly. Carolyn had to hold back a laugh as it sounded as though they had been married for years even though they had only shown their love for each other yesterday.
"It was great with you by my side" Carolyn whispered with something flirtatious hidden in her voice. Andy pulled away slightly and he pecked her cheek once more as Carolyn stood up and walked to the bathroom. Andy could hear the tap turn on and the sound of bristles rubbing off something very quickly. He realised it was her toothbrush and followed her into the bathroom. He stood behind her and smiled at her. From the mirror she could see Andy and she thought to herself about how vampires do show up in mirrors and she silently cursed the movies. She turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist after spitting in the sink. He smiled again and flashed his pointy teeth at her. This time it didn't freak her out and she seemed to think it was even sexier than anything else she knew about him. He pressed his lips to hers and began to move. She followed his patterns and they soon had a rhythm going on.
"Jake can probably hear us" Andy warned but Carolyn shook her head adamantly. She pressed her finger to his lips in a polite way of telling him to shut up. He pecked her finger which caused her to giggle.
"I don't care if Jake hears us. Both me and Jake have to move on and I'm with you now" Carolyn explained. Andy knew that Carolyn wasn't trying to sound like she didn't care for Jake anymore because he knew that she did but they both wanted to be with each other for so many years.
"Come on" Andy sighed whilst taking Carolyn's hand and leading her downstairs where Jake was sitting on the sofa with a huge grin on his face. Andy saw this but he was a bit afraid of asking why it was there. With Jake you never knew what he was going to say and you didn't know how weird it might be so it was best to just leave it when it came to him. Carolyn walked past Andy and went to go sit down next to Jake and she smiled.
"You and Andy were getting close this morning" Jake laughed. Carolyn's mouth hung open and she playfully hit him on the arm and he faked pain by thrashing around on the sofa. Carolyn giggled and patted the sofa next to her as a signal for Andy to sit down next to her. He obliged happily and sat down with his arm around her. Carolyn couldn't help but smile and edge slightly closer.
It was about midnight now and Jake was tired of sitting in the house with the two lovebirds so he said goodbye and went out for a little while. He had no idea where he was going but he knew it wasn't going to be the forest this time. He had been there a lot lately and the last thing he wanted at the minute was to waste his time thinking about what he almost had. Maybe if he hadn't started freaking out about Carolyn and Andy then he could have stayed with Carolyn but he blew his chances and now he had to move on. He was walking on the path that was beginning to lead him away from the house and into town where the city would be alive and most likely half of its population would be rolling around in a drunken state and Jake wanted to join them. He took off down another road until he saw more and more people and then the first sign pointing to the nearest pub. He separated from the street and entered the pub where the smell of stale beer hit his nose. He revelled in it for about a minute before taking a seat at the bar stool in front of the woman who was serving drinks. She wasn't like all the other women in this bar. She was wearing enough clothes to keep her covered up and she looked so much more natural than any of the other women. She smiled at him warmly and asked what he wanted.
"What can I get you love?" She asked. Her voice was the voice of an angel and her smile could stun you from a mile away.
"Whatever you're having" Jake flirted. He could see her blush and turn away.
"Half a bitter" She answered and Jake nodded. She turned away and then handed Jake his drink as she took a sip of her own. Jake handed her the money and she left for a moment before returning and taking a bit more of her drink.
"What time do you get off?" Jake asked. She giggled slightly and she looked like it would be easy to wrap her round your little finger. She suddenly grabbed Jake by the collar and slammed him against the bar. Her force was unbelievable and that was when Jake realised what she was.
"Don't even try it. I could snap every bone in your body in the blink of an eye" She hissed. Jake laughed and shook his head.
"No chance" He muttered and it caused the woman to turn around and glare at him hard. She looked as though she was ready to jump onto the bar and kill him for even daring to talk back to her.
"You don't know anything about me" She growled. Jake waggled his finger in a teasing way and the way her eyes followed it made it look as though she was about to bite it off if he tried anything that she didn't like.
"I know you're a vampire" Jake whispered in her ear and the woman took two steps back and beckoned for him to follow her as she left the bar. When they got outside she took him to the back alley just next to the pub.
"What are you talking about?" She asked. Jake could hear her voice crack and it confirmed his allegations of her being a vampire.
"Don't play dumb with me" He said and opened his mouth. She looked in and saw his canine teeth sharpen and she gasped out loud.
"You're one as well?" She asked and it made Jake laugh and nod his head quickly. She had calmed down considerably and Jake could see that the anger that had taken over her had now turned into excitement.
"What's your name?" Jake asked with curiosity.
"Aurora" She answered and Jake looked puzzled. He always used to like finding out the meanings of names and Aurora sounded familiar. He figured it out and his eyes widened.
"Doesn't that mean dawn?" Jake asked as a large grin spread across his face and Aurora turned away and he could tell she was blushing.
"Yeah but it's not like I can help it" Aurora sighed. That had to be the worst name for a vampire but it was a pretty name and Jake had always liked unique names.
"We're going back to mine so we can talk more about this" Jake said a though Aurora was going to go along with everything he says.
"Is that you trying to plant another move on me?" She asked with a small laugh as Jake took her hand and began to lead her back to the house on the hill where Andy and Carolyn were probably getting romantic with each other.
"I don't have to worry about you killing me so it is definitely a move" Jake answered in all seriousness.
"How come you don't have to worry about me killing you?" Aurora asked as though she thought she was so much stronger that Jake when in reality she pales in comparison to Jake.
"I may be a guy but I'd still kill you if you became a threat" Jake explained as though it was everyday conversation and he wasn't threatening to take somebody's life.
"That's the best pick up line I've ever heard" Aurora laughed. The rest of the walk was silent and rather creepy but not to Jake. He revelled in walking in the dark and with Aurora by his side it felt even better than normal. Aurora was good company to have and Jake knew that and was treasuring it. If you walk with Aurora and it's silent it isn't one of the uncomfortable silences, no it's the more comfortable thing in the world. After about twenty minutes of walking they were reaching the dirt path and could soon see the house. Even though they were both vampires and could run fast they didn't bother. They both loved being with each other so why cut that time short? Soon Jake was yanking open the front door and letting Aurora in. As soon as the door was open Andy and Carolyn came into the hall to make sure that it was Jake and not a stranger who had wanted to see if the house was really haunted like all the children say. Carolyn smiled and when she saw Aurora holding onto Jake's arm her smile grew wider. She thought this would be a great opportunity for Jake to get over her and get back in with the girls. Even if she had never been told this she still assumed that Jake was somewhat of a Casanova. Carolyn was the first to speak and she took two steps forward and shook Aurora's hand.
"Hello, I'm Carolyn" Carolyn introduced.
"I'm Aurora nice to meet you" Aurora said in the sweetest voice she could manage and she received yet another smile off Carolyn. Andy smiled too and stepped forward to match Carolyn.
"I'm Andy, Jake's friend" He introduced and Aurora shook his hand. Aurora's stomach rumbled and she pressed her hand to it in an effort to get it to stop.
"If you're hungry there's stuff in the fridge" Carolyn offered. Aurora shook her head and laughed nervously.
"No, it's just an... illness?" Aurora said as though she wasn't sure about what she was saying never mind trying to get other people to believe it. Carolyn raised an eyebrow at her and Andy gave her a confused look.
"They know about vampires" Jake said and everything was cleared up. Aurora sighed and looked at Carolyn as though she was about to blast her out any minute.
"There's blood in the fridge as well" Carolyn laughed and Aurora sighed in relief and made her way to the kitchen and Jake followed.
"What do you think about Aurora?" Andy asked. Carolyn liked Aurora from what she had seen but she had learnt that you can't just make assumptions with people.
"She seems nice" Carolyn sighed and she took Andy's hand. They went into the living room and sat on the sofa.
"You should try and get to know her. She might be able to help you on your decision about becoming a vampire" Andy said. Carolyn had been trying to avoid talking about that but she wouldn't be able to do that forever so she just nodded slightly and tried to think about it. She didn't want to confide in a girl that she had just met but Aurora might know what she means and she can give her more advice on the subject. Andy wrapped his arm around Carolyn's waist and balanced his head on hers which was something he seemed to be quite fond of lately. Carolyn grinned and looked up so she was facing Andy. She giggled lightly and stretched up so she could reach Andy's lips with her own. He put his hand on the back of her neck so he could support her and kissed back. They were interrupted when they heard a small bang and when they turned round it was Aurora taking her shoes off and putting them in the corner next to the front door.
"I'm sorry for interrupting" Aurora muttered as though the whole incident embarrassed her. Carolyn didn't understand why since all they had done was kiss.
"Aurora, are you spending the night?" Carolyn asked. She had decided that asking Aurora about the vampire issue would probably be best. Aurora instantly smiled widely and went into the living room.
"Are you sure you don't mind?" Aurora asked as though she couldn't believe that somebody had been so kind to her.
"Yes, why would I mind?" Carolyn asked with a confused look on her face. Spending the night at someone's house isn't really that big a deal so why would Aurora think that. Aurora realised that Carolyn didn't understand what she meant when she saw her face.
"When most people know a vampire they don't really want them to spend the night at their house" Aurora explained with a small nervous laugh at the end.
"I'm going out with one so it's not that weird" Carolyn laughed when pointing to Andy. Andy looked up and smiled as he ran his hands through Carolyn's hair, having her say that they were going out just sounded so right and sweet that he couldn't wait for Aurora to leave the room so he could kiss Carolyn.
"Thank you then" Aurora said and nodded with a smile on her face. She returned to the kitchen where Carolyn and Andy could hear mumbling emitting from it. Well Carolyn could hear mumbling but she knew that Andy would be able to hear a full blown conversation taking place in that room. As soon as Aurora's back was turned and she was leaving Andy's lips smothered Carolyn's and they went right back to their activities that had been taking place before they were so rudely interrupted.
"We should probably go upstairs to avoid any further embarrassment" Carolyn mumbled into Andy's lips.
"That's the reason you want to go upstairs" Andy said sarcastically with a laugh. Carolyn laughed as well and playfully hit his arm before standing up and taking his hand. He followed her up the stairs and into her room.
"I don't think you'll be getting any of that for a while but it's nice to have some privacy" Carolyn explained when sitting on her bed. Andy joined her and lay back so she could rest her head on his chest and he could put his arms around her and hold onto her in a sweet embrace.
"When you're living in a house full of vampires privacy no longer exists" Andy laughed but what he was saying was serious and the complete truth.
"I kind of figured that out when Jake heard us kissing this morning" Carolyn said. Andy laughed again.
"It was night" Andy corrected. Carolyn just rolled her eyes at him but grinned to show that she wasn't being serious with him. She never really did like to be corrected as she was normally always right but with Andy there was an exception with it. Andy faked hurt but kissed her anyways. Carolyn looked out the window and the sky was beginning to get a little lighter and she knew that she was going to have to close the curtains to stop Andy from getting harmed. He released her from his grip and she practically hopped up and shut the curtains so the room was almost pitch black. She stumbled her way back to the bed but before she could fall flat on her face a hand grabbed hers and another went around her waist. She rested her hands on her saviour's shoulders and recognised them as Andy's. He guided her back to the bed and she lay down next to him. As soon as her head touched the pillow she felt the covers begin to wrap around her and she knew that Andy was setting up the bed so she could go to sleep comfortable. Just as he was finished he got up to leave but a hand that grabbed his wrist stopped him from getting out the door.
"We're going out now which means you have permission to sleep in my bed" Carolyn explained. Andy let the grin spread out on his face as he slid in beside her. He let his arm drape around her and she got slightly closer so her head was resting in the crook of his arm. Andy knew it was going to be exactly the same as yesterday. He would let her fall asleep and he would stay awake and just relax and enjoy the feel of having Carolyn next to him. It may sound boring to most people but it was surprisingly enjoyable to be able to watch Carolyn sleep.
"Goodnight" Andy murmured in her ear. She looked up and pecked his lips and then she was lying down again.
"I love you" She whispered before letting herself drift off into a comfortable sleep next to Andy.
