Chapter 2:
"I can not believe he doesn't answer the damn phone." Jade said while getting out of her car to walk in to a grill not far from her fathers home. 'It six at night where the hell can he be?' Jade thought to herself.
Jade opened the door and walked into the grill going straight for the bar, sitting down with a sad sigh. The bar tender looked at her, "New in town?"
Jade looked up. "Yeah but it seems I'm locked out of the place I'm staying at."
"Bummer" the bar tender said while drying a glass. "Anything I can get you?"
"Yeah, make it something strong too." Jade said while again dialing her phone to get a hold of her dad. A few seconds later she herd a phone go off in near where she sat at the bar. She swerved in her chair looking around curiously for the ringing phone but there were too many people inside she couldn't get a hold of the source of the ringing. Suddenly the ringing stopped and on the phone she herd the call going to voicemail. Jade your dad is not at a grill he would answer the phone if he was. Jade thought to her self. But curiosity got the better of her and she pressed the send button again and once more the ringing started. She got up suddenly from where she sat trying to follow the ringing again before it went to voicemail. Before she new it she was in front of the very phone that she had been calling and there was someone sitting across from it but it wasn't her father. Instead it was some younger man with black hair and striking blue eyes that were looking straight at her curiously.
"Is that your phone?" she stated to the man, pointing towards the cell phone on the table.
"No" he said simply. "Are you looking for someone?"
"Yes I am , I'm looking for Alaric. Do you know him? That's-"
"Jady?" someone said from behind her.
Jade turned around to see her one and only father looking back at her dumb struck.
"Dad! Finally I've found you. I've been calling you all day." She said walking up to her father, giving him a hug and kiss on the cheek.
"Did you not get my calls?"
"Yes honey but I was going to call you later I was busy. I didn't think you would show up here. How did you even know to get here?"
Jade stepped away from him smiling. "Oh grandma told me."
"I'm going have to talk to grandma then."
"No don't I nearly dragged it out of her, its all my doing."
Alaric then looked towards the table behind her now where the raven haired man sat looking amused by the conversation between father and daughter.
Alaric was about to say something when Damon spoke up.
"No its ok I understand family reunion, we'll talk later." Damon got up from his chair and look to Jade.
"Nice meeting you Jade." He said with a wave and was off to the grill exit.
Jade looked at her father again. "Cute friend you have there."
"Jade don't even start he's not your type. What are you doing here anyway? I told you no coming here." Alaric said sitting at the table.
Jade sat down across from him, "I just thought I paid you a visit, its been what a year almost scents I've seen you last. I missed you."
"I miss you too Jady but you know its not safe here."
"Yeah I know vamps. I bleed vervain dad. I'll be fine."
"No Jady I can't risk you like that."
Jade ground her teeth together in frustration. "Can't you just be happy that I'm here? Why must I always have to be away? I'm a big girl I think I know what damn right good for me and what is not."
"Obviously you don't if you are sitting here."
That's when Jade got up from her chair looking at him with almost hatred in her eyes.
"Still searching for her dad?" She said with her voiced raised. Consciously she looked around at the people staring at her.
Alaric got up with her now looking alarmed by her reaction.
"Jade please sit down, calm down."
"No. I don't need this. I don't know why I even bother." She said silently while picking up her things and walking out the grill.
Outside Damon leaned against the wall of the Grill silently listening to the conversation between Alaric and his surprise daughter. Who new the man had a daughter stashed somewhere he thought to himself and new about us vampires. And a cute one too with her dirty blond hair picked up in a pony tail with glasses and all. She was nice looking nerd.
Just then the door to the grill opened and none other but the girl herself stepped out into the night looking flushed and upset.
She stayed where she stood for a minute before she looked at him to her left still leaning on the wall.
"Not a very good reunion?" he said walking up to her.
She looked at him a few seconds more before answering with a question. "Is there a better bar around this town then just this place?"
She said looking back and the grill and then back at him.
"Hmmm, no sadly there isn't. The grill is the only place in this small town with a bar."
Jade looked at the floor frowning to her self. "Aw well was hoping to get the drink I missed...guess not. Thanks for the info" She turned her body around to walk in the other direction but was stopped when Damon spoke up.
"Well there is a place where you could go to get some pretty nice drinks if I do so say so myself."
Jade looked back at him. "Oh and where is that?"
"My place." He said grinning
"Your place? You can make a mean drink?"
"Oh yes I've had a lot of practice and plenty stock."
Jade thought about it for a second.
"All right then, lets see if you truly have those drink making skills." She said smirking at him.
"Great" Damon held out his hand which she took and led the way to his home.
Chapter 3
"So I didn't know Alaric had a daughter." Damon said as he mixed drinks at the bar while Jade sat on the stool.
"I'm not surprised." Was all she said in response to his comment, "Nice place you have here." She said looking around her.
"Thanks. It's been in the family for centuries."
"I can tell. So what you making?" she asked trying to look at what he was doing over the bar.
"Ah, ah it's a surprise. Its almost done."
She laughed a little, "Oh ok…..so do u usually do this?"
"Do what he said, "Do what?" he said poring his surprise in a glass.
"Take girls to your place."
He raised his eye brow and smirked, "Perhaps, why does it bother you?" He said handing her the drink.
"No not particularly I'm getting a free drink. No complaints. I was just you know wondering is all."
Jade took a sip of the drink Damon handed her and her eyes lit up in surprise.
"Oh jeez, that strong." She said fixing her glasses a bit before taking another sip, "I like it, thanks."
"No problem" Damon said as he turned on the radio to drown out the quietness of the house. "Anything in particular you like to listen to?"
"Surprise me." She said smiling.
Damon smirked again and slid a cd in the player, and soon _ can be herd from the speakers surrounding them.
"Nice, that hit the spot."
Damon laughed to himself and drowned the last of his drink. Then the next minute he was in front of Jade with one arm on either side of her on the bar, barricading her there.
"Tell me Jade. It is Jade right?"
Jade looked at him almost in freight and nodded her head causing her glasses to slip a bit from her face.
"Does your daddy know his precious little girl lies to him?"
Jade said nothing.
"Cat got your tongue?" Damon said as his right hand brushed a stray hair from her face back behind her ear.
"What do you mean?" Jade said now a little less surprised and more aware of where Damon's fingers now strayed towards her neck.
"Going around town with out vervain in your system but I didn't even need to compel you to follow me so it does not matter" He laughed in her ear.
She turned her head to look at him and shrugged off his hand from her neck.
"That is none of your business." She said now a little annoyed.
Damon looked back at her and caught her eyes with his.
"I think you want to kiss me right about now." He said tilting his head and smirking.
Jade looked at him for a second more before answering.
"I think I want to kiss u right now." She leaned in forward and kissed Damon's lips softly with her own.
Damon took her glasses of her face and closed the space between them bringing his body forward and taking a hold of her jaw to deepen the kiss. Jade responded further by wrapping her arms around Damon's neck. With in the minute the kiss got even more heated and Damon was climbing the stairs to his bed room with Jades legs wrapped around his middle still lip locked.
Jade felt the soft fabric of the mattress as Damon layed them on the bed. He was on top of her now and as she panted for the much needed air from there last long kiss Damon trailed long kisses down her neck that felt like they may hurt the next day.Oh no that not good. I can't let a vampire drink from me as much as I really enjoy kissing him.
"You know Damon if you really wanted to kiss me you could have just asked." She said with a dry laugh.
Damon stopped his harsh kissed down her neck and looked down into her green eyes.
"You must have a death wish."
Jade laughed to herself and squirmed to get out from under him. "Don't need one."
"I compelled you." He said not letting her go.
"Yup." She nodded at him. "But that lasted like um a minute. I guess your 'charm' doesn't work on me."
"That's impossible."
"No possible, I'm no weak minded." She said tapping her head. Then she quickly reached into a hidden pocket in her dress and stuck him with a needle full of vervain.
"You're kidding me?" he said looking at the needle and back at her. Seconds later he had pushed her off the bed but that was all he could do before collapsing.
"Dammit that hurt." She said getting up from the floor. "What do expect from a vampire hunters daughter? You thought I was that dim?" she laughed again.
"Well this was fun really except for the neck bit and pushing me off your high ass bed."
"Shut up" Damon said in his weak state.
"Do you like it? It's my special brew. It doesn't work as fast as the original but knocks the body off flat when it comes in affect. Chemistry really does have its benefits."
And with those last words Jade waved good bye and walked out his room picking up her glasses from the bar and walking into the night.
