Lori's POV
The plan (Get Daniel a girl) was in action. I'd seen a few of the vampire chics around the club making eyes at him, being a little flirtatious, and so on. But who would be right for Daniel? Someone pretty, smart, idealistic, not to shallow, or vain, hard-working, independent yet dependent (on him of course). Just then Daniel came in after changing at home with my new clothes for today folded up nice and neat, with my shoes on top.
"Well thank-you." I said cheerfully.
"Well, you're very, very welcome." he said back handing me my clothes.
I put them on quickly in the bathroom in he back. He had pretty good taste, if not rather plain. Dark skinny jeans with a tight white t-shirt, a silver medallion, and my silver flats. I tied my hair in a ponytail and walked out to turn on the open sign. Daniel turned the coffee pot on, no doubt Regan and Sam (our loyalist human customers) would be here any minute. It was only about 5 minutes until they walked in.
"well, well if its no' thee wonderful Lori and Daniel." cooed Regan, his Irish brogue thick.
"We'll be having the usual miss." added Sam as they took our seats.
"So what's happened as of recently, you two?" I asked
"Oh, nothing much lass, not since we seen yae as of yesterday." said Regan taking a sip of his coffee that Daniel handed him.
"So you two haven't gotten yourselves into mischief yet?" asked Daniel surprised.
"Not since we seen yae yesterday as Regan said." said Sam taking a large bite of his bagel.
The conversation continued on like this for a while like it did every morning at the bar, as more and more customers filled in. Then the doors opened and three girly, shrill screams came towards me. Of course, Daniel and Lachlan's fan club; Tricia, Riese, and Kaylen.
"Oh, my gosh!" screamed Tricia.
"What is it now?" I asked unimpressed this was the usual for them.
"Lachlan…."started Riese but she was still trying to catch her breath, her cheeks flushed. Thankfully the blood that stained her cheeks did not faze me.
"What about him?" I asked rolling my eyes annoyed.
"He's…he's…"Riese tried again.
"Spit it out!" I said finally on edge with this nonsense.
"He's in the lake swimming ….in his Boxers!" exclaimed Kaylen with a smile.
Did they think I would be pleased with this news? No, way! What was his problem always pulling stunts like this? Oh, I was going to get him. How could he take a risk like this it was nearly winter and most "humans" wouldn't dare swim in weather like this. Was he trying to give up our secret?
"Show me!" I demanded. Boy was he in for it. I grabbed my sweater off the coat hook told Daniel I'd be back and followed the giddy, overexcited girls to Lachlan. All three admirers strawberry blonde hair bouncing as the sashayed down the small back road as if it were a runway. When we reached the spot I told them to wait behind the old rundown cottage about a quarter of a mile from the lake. I was going to take care of this myself. I walked to the edge of the lake Lachlan was having a grand old time swimming. I stood there with my arms crossed waiting for him to notice my presence. When he did he swam over to the edge.
"Have you come to join me Lori?" he asked smiling.
"Why yes, of course, Lachlan" I said sarcastically. But, he obviously meant to turn my false humor around on me.
"Then why are you still in all of your cl-"I cut him off.
"Lachlan McHolton! What do you think your doing I should…."
"You should come cool off with me." He said. And before I could move away he was pulling me into the water, his grasp tight, so I couldn't get away. When we resurfaced I was struggling, splashing, trying to get away from him, yet I couldn't his hold was too tight. He was strong much stronger than I was. Darn him!
"Lachlan let me go right now!" I whined.
"I do nae think I will." He whispered into my ear. The girls were at the side of the lake by now, gasping in awe.
"What are you staring at?!" I exclaimed." Go back and tell them all what has happened!" you little gossips I added under my breath.
"So now that we're alone-"I cut him off mid sentence.
"There is no we right now!!! There is me soaking wet for no perfectly good reason and you just jostling about enjoying yourself at the suspense of our secret!!! No, there is no we!! Now let me go!" I ranted angrily
"Oh you sure know how to ruin a mood with that temper of your Lore."
"There is no mo-"
"Oh stop your ranting I'll be letting you go now."
"good." I said as he released me and I climbed out of the lake. He got out too…in his boxers!
"Lachlan! Where are your pants?!"
"I left them at home." He said casually," now lets go."
But I noticed he wasn't looking directly at me when he was talking, he was looking at my chest. I looked down…darn it!!!! Stupid Daniel with his Whit t-shirt!
"Lachlan, McHolton!" I said punching him in the arm.
"What!? I was just admiring your shirt." He said," but if you don't like it I can think of plenty who will." He said. The suggestion was clear as he raised his eyebrows playfully.
"No one will be seeing me soaked to the skin! Or you in your boxers! Come on were going to get you a change of clothes now!!" I said grabbing his arm and pulling him after me.
"But Lori…." He started whining.
"No buts!!!" I screamed. Then I heard a booming laugh…oh, no not Emmett!!
"Hey little sis" he said coming down the hill.
"hi." I said through gritted teeth.
"So...what are you two doing all wet and …yeah" Emmett suggestively raised his eyebrows.
"It's not what you think!" I tried to defend.
"Oh, she's just so shy about things like this." Said Lachlan.
"What are you talking about you idiot!!??"
"Oh Lore, no need to be ashamed. We don't have to hide our love from the world."
"You have lost your mind! Both of you! Emmett you are not helping with this situation!! And you!" I said turning around to face Lachlan. I looked up at him angrily.
"I love you too Lori." He said grinning hugely.
"This is not funny!!!"
"You two are soooo cute!" screamed Alice coming out of nowhere.
"Aren't they just the most adorable couple!" said Emmett in a girly voice.
"We're not a coup-"
"Oh stop playing coy, you. You know we're together. She just loves to play these games. Come, let me remind you." And before I knew it Lachlan was kissing me. His lips pressed hard against mine, I had to admit that it was nice, if not unexpected. I don't know how long the kiss lasted but I heard coughs and whistles coming from Emmett and Alice. Then Lachlan broke the kiss.
"See what did I tell yae darlin'."
If I were still human my face would have been beet red from such a display. Lachlan was enjoying this new game to much, and I was still soaking wet and he was standing in his boxers in public with literally no problem at all.
"I'll be taking the lass home now, we have some unfinished business to attend to" said Lachlan pulling me close to him.
"Not what you think!" I defended.
"Whatever Lori, we'll see you tonight." said Alice cheerfully.
"Your coming to the club again?" I asked.
"No, your coming over to the house tonight silly!" she said before turning around. "I know, I'm psychic." she yelled over her shoulder as Emmett followed her, he was yelling"race you home" and jetted off. As soon as they were gone I got some space between me and Lachlan, if not 5 inches.
"You are crazy!" I said as I started walking off.
"Oh, just admit you liked the kiss, Lori." he said following behind me.
"Oh boy did I!" I tried to hide the fact that I actually did with sarcasm.
"Oh, stop your fooling. Unless you need me to remind you-"
"No thank you, I'm perfectly fine."
"No I think you need a bit of reminding." He said grabbing me around the waist and turning me to face him. Before I could object further his lips were against mine. After a few seconds of this, my hands went around his neck and he was pulling me closer, tighter if that was even possible. I was enjoying the kiss as much as he was if not more.
"Mmh, Lori, it's not fair that you tease me so." He said breaking the kiss
I was still very much in a daze. "what are you talking about?" I asked confused.
"I mean you tease me, egging me on, and then….nothing. Are we or aren't we? Do you want me? It's been much to long for us to keep playing this game. I want you so bad. Just tell me will you be mine?"
"Are you proposing to me?" I asked in astonishment.
"Oh, no, not yet at least. Just are we together or not?"
"I love how you can do that."
"Do what?"
"Go from being super playful and giddy, to Mr. Serious man. It's kinda funny." I said giggling.
"Oh, stop!"
"Fine, okay. You want your answer? Here it is………
Are you on the edge of your seat in anticipation? Well I hope you are. What an awesome cliffy huh! Don't you just love it? A good cliffy is the key to a good story. So yeah what will Lori's answer be ' yes or no '? Wait and find out in the next chapter titled….revenge is best served cold. That'll be a long one! Much luv 33 more reviews please!
