CHAPTER FIVE: PARENTS AND DIRTY LITTLE SECRETES.
The door open and he walks in, looks at me the walks into the kitchen.
"You hungry?" I sit up, is he asking me if I'm hungry.
"I'll take that as a yes, come here" I get up and walk into the Kitchen.
"Favorite food?" I sit in one of the kitchen stools.
"Pasta" he nods and starts cooking, we stay silent for a while.
"why are you being so nice?" he smirks, washing his hands.
"I can be nice…sometimes, but I feel bad I think for treating you like shit I think" I nod.
"thank you, I think" he places the food in front of me, I look at it with a raised eyebrow.
"Mac and Cheese, with a Bolognaise sauce and diced bacon…eat up" so I do. It's amazing but I won't tell him that, the ass is already full of himself.
"where did you move too after you left White Wood" oh White Wood was the town I was born in. my parents and I lived there for 17 years before my "breakdown", and before I met Logan and he threaten to kill me and before he…killed my friend Luke with his band of rugrats.
"New York, Brooklyn my parents thought the city would be better for me so we moved " I still hate small towns.
"I wondered where you were, when you didn't show up at school that Monday…school was rather boring after you left. No more cat fights and teachers running out class crying …" I roll my eyes,putting my plate in the sink.
"when did you leave White Wood" Logan sits on the couch, I sit on the floor.
"a month after you did" I look at the clock, it's 20:25. I remain quiet.
" so you don't really like Nikky, do you?" i move my head side to side, I don't know, she is irritating but hey I don't know.
"I didn't like half the people in high school or NYU" he smiles.
"you didn't…still don't like me. You think that I'm the devil's spawn, and should be burnt for what I'm doing to you" I look up slowly, into his eyes for a few seconds before I look away again.
"the truth hurts, doesn't it" he chuckles darkly.
"how did Vampires come to be?" I stand up and sit next to him.
"We are like you, but more advance. We are neither dead nor living…we are magic" I sit back, is he serious.
"so do you guys have powers?" he moves closer to me, I move away.
"yes we do,I can do several things but I can't tell you" I laugh, why not though it's not like I'm gonna go tell the whole world, I can't even tell anyone because I'm caged in this place.
"where are we? I look out the window and I can't tell where we are" his hand brushes my thigh, I move it away from him.
"I can't tell you that" I move away from him, he keeps moving closer.
"where are your parents?" he smiles.
"they are in England, at my great-grandfather's palace" I didn't realize how close he was to me.
" they're coming tomorrow, to see the…woman I have picked" I snort, I get up walking towards the bedroom.
"well then, Goodnight"
Parents, met the Parents. I could never understand why meeting someone's parents makes you want to just hide under a rock somewhere or just disappear. We aren't just meeting his parent's, we are meeting the whole Vamp council and the parents , because the one thing Logan forgot to mention was that tonight was his father's birthday ball, I hate dresses and now I HAVE to wear one.
Standing in front of a full length mirror, I want to break it, I mean I won't lie I look…good for once in a dress but still I love my pants, my jeans , my shorts, and yes I do wear skirts and sometimes summer dresses but this is…different.
"you love you dress?" I look into the mirror to see Logan's reflection standing in the door way.
"hot pink and turquoise blue?" yes , my dress is hot pink and turquoise blue, the top is one shouldered , it hugs my body until my knees before flowing to the floor , hot pink with turquoise blue lace running over the pink, like a second skin.
"yes really" he walks out, and I follow him in black heels, the silver diamond pendant hangs around my neck, my hair in long black curls.
The ballroom is huge with painting on the ceiling, people dancing, talking and laughing, the low light amber lighting gives the room a warmth… I see Ryan, I walk away from Logan , smiling at Ryan as he walks towards me as well, smiling.
"wow, you…not word can describe how gorgeous you look right now" I blush, I smile playfully rolling my eyes.
"thank you handsome Mr. Richards" he laughs.
"may I have this dance?" he takes my hand.
We dance for a while before Danny and Jessica pull us to the bar, we talk and laugh really loud while Logan walks around with his parents and Nikky flirts in the corner with one of the guests. They start walking to us, I get up and pull Ryan with me towards the dance floor when Logan appears in front of us.
"running away?" Ryan stands up straight, narrowing his eyes at Logan.
"of course not Logan we were going to dance" he smirks, rising his left black eyebrow.
"of course not, Mom, Dad this is Jade…Jade Winters" I look at the two people I didn't even realize had reached us.
" Jade my parents, Lucian and Scarlett McShane" .
He is a carbon copy of his father, height, build, only difference is the eye his father eyes are grey with wisdom and age, he reminds me of my father…my dad. He has black hair like his son I can see where Logan gets his hotness, gorgeousness, breath-takingness from. His mother is gorgeous she looks so young, beautiful black eyes but she has red hair…weird firey red hair, full lips, curvy body…she could be my mother's twin with her non-aging , mothers who look like 20 year olds, freaks.
"pleasure meeting you both" I smile.
"a Winters…well Logan you don't have bad taste after all" I look at Logan waiting for him to explain what his mother just said.
"she is beautiful too" I smile shyly.
"thank you" I link my arm with Ryan's, I think I see Logan's eyes go entirely black for a second but when I look again the are normal.
"Ryan you are still as handsome as ever" he hugs Scarlett, am I allowed to call her that…Scarlett?
Logan said he was gonna stay a week, he lied. It's been a week and a half now, we just past each other like we are both paintings on the wall or shadows in the dark.
"thank you auntie Scarlett, uncle Lucian I've been meaning to see you" and then they start talking about other things I don't know so I wonder off, slow though.
I walk in to the hallway, I only want to sleep seriously whoever invented heels was a sick person, I walk into someone almost falling over, but they catch me. I look up… it's Nikky's brown haired, green eyed flirt.
" sorry I was- I didn't see you there" he smiles
" it's okay babe" I rise both my eyebrows widening my eyes when I see Nikky walk out of a room.
"Jordan could you please help me-" she stops in the middle of her sentence when she sees me, the zip of her dress is undone and her hair is lose like she rolled around in the hay with it, he facial expression is that of a six year old who's just been caught stealing sweets from her mommy's bag.
"I was just-" her face turns sour, mean.
"I don't care, you didn't see anything Jade!" I frown at her.
"you mean I didn't just see you walk out of that room looking like you just had a quicky with thing thing over here? Yes I did but I won't say anything not for you, for Logan and myself" she frowns this time.
"yes I am selfish like that, so do me a favour, don't threaten me or even try to intimidate me because I will cut your fucking ass to shreds bitch" and I walks away, back into a ballroom filled with black snakes.
