The next morning when I woke up I was relieved to see Gregory had gone. I may have been relieved because on a morning I look awful and this morning I am guessing I look awful more than usual due to the fact eye liner and purple lipstick was smeared all over my pillow and I am also guessing that the bed head I gave myself last night has turned into an uncontrolled monstrosity.
Getting out of bed the light stung my eyes causing me to stumble a little. When I got my balance I headed to my bathroom but as I walked passed my wardrobe my feet got caught in something and I tripped over, winding myself a little. I turned my head to see what it was and saw all my cloths on the floor and my eyes widened. Turning to sit on the floor I opened the door and Gregory dangles from my roof. I stood while poking him and he let out a low hiss.
"You should never wake a sleeping vampire."
"What are you doing here?"
"Waiting for my thanks."
"Get out!"
"I'll fry." He stated.
"Well you should have thought of that, now out!"
He opened one eye to look at me.
"You look ugly on a morning."
"You look ugly full stop."
Suddenly, he fell from the roof, pulled me into the wardrobe and shut the door behind us in what appeared to be one movement. He was holding me so tight but I couldn't breath, I trying to push myself away but he wouldn't let me go.
"I could kiss you right now."
"No, you can't."
He pulled me closer and leaned down so our lips almost touched. My heart began to beat so fast. I was torn, should I lean in and kiss him, just let it go, or should I open the wardrobe, get out.
"Really, what would you do if I did?"
"I…I would…I don't know." I whispered.
"April!"
Mum's shout made my head snap around, even thought I couldn't see anything. Gregory's breath was on my neck sending shivers down my spine has my neck was the most sensitive part of my body.
"What?" I called shakily back.
"We're off to the market. We shouldn't be long."
"Ok."
A slow smile spread across his lips as he pushed me against the wardrobe back. He ran his tongue over his teeth then he dropped his head to my neck and ran his mouth over it. Gently he bit my neck, not enough to break the skin, but enough to hurt a little. He growled when he released the skin and I knew I wanted to bite but it was forbidden.
"There is no one around to help."
"Help. Why would I need help?"
"I could just…bite you."
"Tony…""Is a little boy who is making up stories cause he can't face the fact his sister is died."
"You wouldn't."
"Your right, we are so close to becoming human, but I promise you, if we fail I am biting you."
"To kill or to turn?" He didn't answer. "Your so weird, one minuet you want to kiss me the next kill me."
His smile widened and his grip loosened. He took a step back but still held onto my hips looking me over for a long while then he asked.
"If I were human, would you go out with me?"
"Why do you ask?" "Just answer."
"Don't know. With the way you've been treating me, no."
"So if I were nice to you, you would."
"I don't know. Cedric's a nice guy, I think. I hasn't done anything to me. Tough competition."
"Cedric. You don't trust him."
"I don't trust you ether."
"It's understandable why you don't trust me."
"Humans can be worse than vampires, humans an destroy lives without trying."
With that I pushed past him and out of the wardrobe, he likes asking questions. I grabbed my cloths then went to the bathroom to get a shower. Once out of the shower it was time for dinner, mum had cooked a normal roast and not long after we finished eating Cedric came around to give me my work for the day then he came into the den to help me. After the work was done we went for a walk around. Mum really surprised me, she was letting me outside while I was grounded.
As we walked passed the cemetery a shadow caught my eye. It was a boy with spiky hair with Victorian cloths. Gregory stepped out in front of us.
"Who's this?" He asked, venom dripping from the words.
"This is Cedric, Cedric, Gregory."
"This is the boyfriend Tony spoke of?"
"No, he's a friend."
"He's a dick who is after one thing."
"What? Cedric I'm sorry, I'm just going to have a word with this guy."
I grabbed Gregory and pulled him to one side. The whole way he and Cedric glared at each other and even when I stepped in front of Gregory he was still glaring at him over my head so I turned him away.
"What the fudge was that?"
He smiled, "Fudge."
"Gregory."
"Are you on one of those date things you mortals do?"
"So what if we are, it's none of your business."
Just has I turned he grabbed my wrist an pulled me back saying,
"Sorry but it is my business and dick, she's mine, not yours so go fine another girl to bother."
Before I knew what was happening I was been dragged around a corner and we took off flying. It took me awhile to register what had just happened but when I did anger boiled in my blood. I began to kick and punch him.
"Put me down now! Gregory, put me down!"
"Fine!"
He dropped me onto my bedroom floor and I stood up fast and pushed him.
"Why? Why would you do that? What was with all that I belong to you, news flash, I don't belong to anyone, least of all you!"
"I know! I don't know why I did it but I don't trust him!"
"Jealousy is not a good colour!"
"Why would I be jealous of him. You are the most annoying girl ever and I hate you."
That hurt, I didn't know why it just did. "If you hate me so much, go!"
"April, I didn't…"
"Go! Now!"
He looked down at the ground and turned to leave, just has he reached my window he turned back to me and was about to say something but stopped himself or maybe he just didn't know what to say. With out another word he was gone and I was face down on my bed, but I wouldn't cry, crying was wrong no matter how bad you feel.
