She looked me in the eye for a good 30 second.

"Whatever it is you wanted to do to me doesn't work on me, the other vampire also tried but it didn't work." She said with a sad expression.

"How is that possible? Are you on Vervain?" she shook her head in denial. I looked at her hand the bracelet she was wearing was obviously laced with Vervain. "Where did you get this? This bracelet is laced with Vervain, it stops compulsion"

"This? An old lady gave it to me she said there will came a time when me surviving will save lifes and for that I'm ganna need this. But personally I think she was a little crazy I just wear this cus its pretty." She paused for a second "I don't get why you wanted me to forget about you." She looked hurt.

"If you know about me, your life will be in constant danger and if something happens to you it will be on me. Please Hayley let me make sure you are safe by helping you forget everything." Suddenly her eyes were filled with so much anger.

"Helping? How? With making me forget about you? It's not up to you to decide that. Like I was safe when I didn't know you? I got attacked by a vampire before I met you and don't for a second think that it was my first crap experience in life. I've been through so much worse and what happened last night didn't affect me like you think, it just reminded me that even I deserve saving….you saved my life Elijah and I never want to forget that. I know you owe me nothing but Promise me that you won't use your mind control on me. I tell nobody about what happened and I don't meet you again if that's what you want but don't make me forget the time I mattered in my life. "

Her tone was desperate, her eyes were teary, it was like she was begging for her life something she didn't do last night when she was really close to dying. I looked down to think for a second I knew I could still compel her I just had to take off the bracelet and she would never remember I existed… NEVER… I didn't like the sound of that; I guess I had already decided. I looked at her face her eyes looking at mine with a hope; I gave her a smile which made her eyes glow with happiness.

"You won't regret keeping me around " she said while giving me a mischievous smile

"I should go home now. I guess I see you around?"

"of course i always keep my word.I'll give you a ride home. You can't go home looking like you just left a man's bed."My comment made her cheek blush in the sweetest color.

"But I did just do that didn't I?"She didn't give me time to answer and added "well then let's go home. Shall we?"

In our way to her place, Hayley was quietly looking outside the window, her hair was playing in the wind making any man lose control, and making me crave what I hadn't felt for so long…lust.

Not much word was exchanged between us. I stopped in front of a small house as she instructed, glad that we finally made it without me losing control. She got out of the car and looked at me from the window on her side.

"You coming or what?"

"Maybe some other time. You should go get some rest for now."

"OK. Whatever you say but I should do something before I go; give me your phone Elijah cus I don't want you running away from me like everyone else."

"What do you mean?" I asked while handing her my phone.

"Now THAT is a story for another time." She opened the door again looked into my eyes and placed a small kiss on my cheek as she whispered in my ear "thank for saving my life Lijah." She left fast after that and didn't stop until reaching her door, then she turned around and waved her hand as she yelled "see you soon Elijah."

'Hopefully sooner than you think'I thought.
