This is a long chapter. Remember, guys, don't be afraid to drop a review ;) Enjoy.

|CARLOS' POV|

"Remind me again why I shouldn't send you to the moon and back?"

"Because you love me, Carlos, but most importantly, I got you a date with Logan."

I rolled my eyes at her excuse. If anything, she's the one that's been in the way of me and my Jewel.

"Hey! How was I supposed to know if you didn't tell me?" I turned around from my kitchen counter and glared at her.

"I'd really appreciate if you'd stop using your mind reading powers on me. You know, you always use it at the wrong time."

"Look, instead of focusing on the past, let's think about the future! Like two hours into the future you and Logan will be on your very first date!" I cringed when she shrieked. Sometimes her voice drives me crazy. Well, take that back. Her voice drives me crazy all the time. "Hey!"

I rolled my eyes and walked out the kitchen. I made my way to my room and opened my closet. I have two hours to get dressed and pick up Logan. It should take about half an hour to get to his house. Good thing I have speed.

"You should totally go with your white shirt that comes to the elbow with those two buttons, you know, the one that shows how built your chest is. Your grey vest and black jeans with it would look totally hot." I jumped when I heard Shay's voice. I turned around and saw her standing behind me observing my closet.

"What the hell?! I didn't even hear you walk in!"

"Have you forgotten? I'm known for having quiet movements."

"Yes, but it would be better if you had a quiet mouth." I laughed as she sneered at me. Carlos: 1 Shay: Zip. She rolled her eyes and pushed past me and into my closet.

"This isn't a game, Carlos. You go take a shower while I get your clothes laid out on your bed."

"Yes, Mother." I walked into my bathroom and closed and locked my door, just in case Shay gets any ideas. Then again, even a lock can't stop her. I took off my sweats and got my shower started. I got my body wash from my cabinet and hopped in the shower. I closed my eyes and let the water run over my chest.

I can't believe I found him. I've been searching all my life for someone like him, and I've been alive for a very long time. He's worth the wait. I can see it when I looked into his eyes. I can see our future, our happiness, our long-lasting love. I sound crazy don't I? Well, I'm not. Believe me. I'm as normal as my kind comes. Then again, I don't think my kind can be called normal.

It's hard for us, my kind, to find our one and true love. Some, like me, have searched centuries and found them. Some already had theirs. Others just don't have one. I guess you could say that's something good about us. You could never have met your Jewel before, but once you can look them in the eyes, you know that's who you're supposed to be with, for the rest of their lives. Of course they have a choice to become immortal, but I wouldn't wish that upon Logan, whether he wants to or not. Immortality is just a tiny pro compared to many cons. He deserves better than being turned into something people have nightmares about…

"Okay, so what body wash are you using? Don't use that one in the green bottle. Logan hates that kind." I jumped out of my thoughts and looked pushed my shower curtain aside a little to see on the other side. WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING HERE?

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" I turned off the water and snatched the towel I had lying on the toilet seat. I quickly wrapped it around my waist and got out the shower. Didn't I tell you she was crazy? Oh. I didn't? Well you don't need me to tell you! As you can obviously see she's lost her mind!

"Oh calm down, Carlos. It's not like I wanna see you naked."

"Then why the hell are you barging into my bathroom while I was taking a shower!"

"I just wanted to ask you what type of body wash you're using!" I can't deal with her anymore. I didn't even bother to walk past her and to the door. I teleported to my bedroom and quickly got dressed. The way I see it the earlier I leave, the more time I could spend with Logan. I was halfway down the stairs when Shay popped in front of me. She leaned forward and sniffed me. Sniffed me.

"Hm. I think Logan might really like this scent. I might get James a bottle of that." I have had enough. Instead of walking all the way down to my car, I teleported there. That seems like the fastest way to get away from her. I just hope she doesn't pop up in my car.

"I've never seen you teleport so much." I slammed my head against the top of my steering wheel. Why can't she just leave me alone?! "Because this is my best friend you're messing with. Look at me Carlos." I looked up and turned to her. "Logan has been through a lot. This recent break-up he's been going through has torn him up. I'm just trying to make sure this goes perfectly for him. You already know you guys are supposed to be with each other, but remember he's just a human. Take it slow with him."

"I know, Shay. I've been searching centuries for him. I'm not going to do anything that I know will push him away. I've been waiting too damn long for my Jewel to let him slip through my fingers." She smirked and patted me on my head gently.

"Good boy. Don't forget. Apartment 4C." Before I could come up with a comeback, she was out of my car, into hers, and on her way down the street. Damn. I forgot how fast she could move. I started my car and turned around to take the long way to Logan's house. I've got a lot of time to kill. I wonder what he's doing now. I haven't used my visioning in awhile. I stopped at a red light and sat back in my seat.

I closed my eyes and concentrated on Logan; his eyes, his nose, his beautiful lips, his soft skin, his sexy bot- Whoa. Okay. I'm losing track of what I'm supposed to be doing. Um, okay, back to the nonsexual things. Once I thought back to his eyes, I could visualize him in his apartment. I watched him as he hurried around in his living room making sure everything was in place. He was shirtless. Mm. His silky porcelain skin-

BEEP BEEP BEEP

The noise of a car horn snapped me out of it. The light must've turned green while I was visualizing. Oops. I drove off from the light and continued my way to Logan's house. It wasn't long before I pulled in front of his apartment building. I got out of my car and walked to the front door. It's too crowded to teleport to the front door or his apartment. People would be leaving their apartments and walking around the building. They might be a little freaked out at seeing me pop up at the entrance when they never saw me leave my car or walk up there.

As soon as I walked in, I spotted the door to the staircase. Since people these days are getting lazier and lazier, I could go speeding my way up the stairs without anyone noticing. It would be way faster than taking the elevator anyway. I opened the door to the staircase and looked behind me to make sure no one was there, before I closed the door and took off. I was standing at the fourth floor landing before I knew it. I guess you could say the speed is definitely a pro of my kind.

I made my way to Logan's door and knocked. I looked at my watch and saw I was about ten minutes early. Oh well. Ten more glorious minutes I get to spend with him. I'm not complaining. I heard some shuffling behind the door before it finally opened. And there he was. As beautiful as the first time I saw him. He wasn't done getting dressed. He was holding his socks and shoes in his hands. He had on a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Simple, but enough to make my heart skip a beat, if it was still beating. When I focused on his face, his smile was bright and happy. He should always be happy. It adds beauty onto his natural beauty. That's a promise I'm going to make myself; always keep him happy no matter what.

"Hey! Wow, you look really great!" His voice is soft, but has a small touch of masculinity. I love it. I could hear him talk for hours on end and never get tired or annoyed.

"Thank you, but you look so much better than I do, even if you are barefoot. I'm not too early am I?" My smile widened as I saw a blush appear upon his cheeks.

"No! Not at all. I was just busy feeding Pickles."

"Pickles?"

"My dog! You can come in and relax. She's sitting by the couch. She doesn't bite. She's actually a lazy dog. Takes after her owner. Come in!" He showed me in and closed the door behind me. His apartment was spacious, more than enough room for one person. He led me to his living room and there I saw a small black and white Havanese puppy lying on the couch, watching TV. I remember the small puppy my brother used to have, Galeno. The last time I saw it was the day…

"Here she is. What'd I tell you? Lazy. Just make yourself at home and I'll be right back." He hurried out of the room and down the hallway. I took a seat on the couch by his dog. She took one look at me, sat up, moved over to me, sniffed me, and lied across my lap. Luckily, dog blood isn't very appetizing to me or else I'd be in some real trouble. She looked up at me as if she was expecting me to scratch her. I chuckled and shook my head while I scratched her back.

"Just like Galeno…" I mumbled to myself.

"Okay! I'm ready!" I turned and saw Logan walking into the living room. He had a light blue cardigan on along with his shoes. I smiled and carefully moved Pickles off of my lap and stood up from the couch. She barked a little, but when I moved out of her way so she could see the TV, she calmed down and relaxed on the couch. Wow. She really is a lazy dog.

He rubbed Pickles' head as he led us to the front door. I grabbed the doorknob before he could and opened the door for him. "After you." He blushed and scurried past me. I walked out and closed the door behind me. I walked up next to him and made sure to slow down to match his steps. I could almost feel his hand twitching to hold mine. I reached out and grabbed his hand and intertwined our fingers. You know that feeling you get when you're almost done with this really large complicated puzzle and you have one piece left and it fits in the empty space perfectly? That's how I feel right now. It's like he makes me feel complete. He replaces my dead heart. Something everyone else I've met has failed to do.

I didn't even know if it was possible, but he blushed even more. He's such a sweetheart. We walked over to the elevator. Luckily, when it came up it was empty, but I felt someone coming. I stepped forward and dragged Logan with me. Before I could click the button to close the doors, a guy slipped right in. I eyed him before hitting the button. He was tall, but on the thin side. He had dirty blonde hair that was sort of spiked up. His eyes were a golden color with strokes of green.

He's not human. He's definitely not human. He's my kind. And he looks familiar. The thought of my kind being near Logan, aside from me, James, and Shay, bothers me tremendously because when there's one, there are others.

I moved Logan to the other side of me, so he wasn't standing near whoever this guy was. Logan seemed nervous too. He removed his hand from mine and wrapped his arms around my waist, clinging to my side. I wrapped my arm around his shoulders to draw him closer, which seemed physically impossible. I could feel the stranger's attention on me. He wasn't looking, but he was focused on me and Logan.

As soon as the elevator opened up to the lobby, I took Logan's hand again and led him out. We were basically speed walking to my car. Once we finally got there, he took a deep breath.

"Gosh. I hate being around that guy. He just gives me the creeps. It's like whenever I run into him he has this weird expression when he's looking at me."

"You've ran into him before?"

"Yeah, but it seems like I've been running into him more and more. It's freaky, actually."

He's after Logan. For some reason, this monster wants something to do with him. Now that I think about it, he didn't have to take the elevator. He could have taken the stairs like I did. Or he could've simply teleported. Something isn't right at all.

"Logan, listen to me. Stay away from him. Something isn't right about him at all and the less you're around him, the better." His eyes widened a bit before nodding in agreement.

"Okay. Yeah. I will." I gave him a smile to take out a bit of the built up tension and he gave me one back. I sat back in my seat and snuck my right hand into his left as I pulled off from his building. Time for the first date with the love of my life.

Reviews are lovely. Thanks for reading.
