Scud POV
" So, tell me, how long have you been doing this for hmm?"
She sipped at her coffee "Since I was about 6. My dad used to always take me every Saturday while my mom worked"
"Sounds like a nice dad" I smiled lightly
"Ya...I remember there was this candy store in the same plaza my dance studio was in...every third Saturday my dad would take me there and I would be able to pick out a few treats. Afterwards he would take me to the park and we would eat them while sitting on this big tree branch…" She smiled sadly
"What happened to them…your parents?" I asked curiously
"Well...when I was around 16 my mother got cancer..they took her somewhere to treat her but I wasn't allowed to go...three months later I got a phone call from Dad saying that...that she had died…"
"I'm...I'm so sorry...what about...what about your dad?"
Her eyes looked off into the distance as if she was reliving the memories. Her grey eyes looked like she was in a lot of pain…
"I'm...I'm sorry...I… I can't talk about it…" she frowned and finished off her coffee
"Look Mina, didn't mean to bring up bad memories and all. Come on let's get the hell outta here huh?" I smiled trying to cheer her up
She nodded and stood up smiling weakly.
Mina POV
Back at the warehouse I could see Scud working on one of the cars, he wore bandana , holding back some of his shaggy hair. I smiled lightly. He had become more than I had originally thought he'd be.
"Hey Minny why don't you stop staring and get your little cute ass over here?" he smirked, fire in his blue eyes
I rolled my eyes "I'm curious what was your first vamp encounter?"
He chuckled "Well...that was uh...interesting...Not a experience I would repeat that's for sure"
"Tell me"
'Well, I was uh...bringing these two girls back to my truck to uh well...you know...next thing you know they are tearing up my stomach. That's when Blade came. Saved my worthless ass and I've worked for him ever since"
"Holy shit...that's ...that's terrible…" I frowned
"IT was painful as hell when I got em, but I'm fine now. Got the scars to remind me not to get too close to vamps though…" he said as he lifted his shirt, showing the scars all over his chest
My eyes widened, that would have been painful to endure...My hand went out to touch his scars, tracing them lightly. I have had my fair share of vampire experiences...every single one not pleasant. I could feel him shudder under my touch, and I could see him smirking at me. He had a nice body under the baggy clothes he wore. Even with the scars you could see he was quite fit.
"Liking what you see?" Scud said with a smirk
"Very much so" I giggled lightly
"Well maybe I should give you a better look…" he smirked and pulled off his shirt
I moved closer smirking at him lightly "Well you're definitely not fat, despite the fact you eat so many donuts that I can't even keep count" I giggled
He rolled his eyes "I can't help it! They are so good. You certainly seem to like the taste of them off of me" he smirked
A light blush went to her cheeks and she smirked "Well it certainly is a nice taste" I flirted
"Maybe you should take another taste hmm?"
I giggled "Cheeky boy. Why not buy me dinner first and maybe I will"
"Well then tonight I'm taking you somewhere then. I'll surprise you" he smirked
"I am quite intrigued now. Can't wait…" I smirked and gave him a lingering kiss on the cheek before walking off
Scud POV
The day seemed to go by fast and I was a bit nervous for my date with Mina. I took a drag off of my cig and paced back and forth. I had changed into a pair of blue jeans and a black tshirt, it was kinda tighter than I was used to, but I wanted to look at least decent for her.
It was still light outside which was good, I didn't want my surprise ruined by having to eat in the dark…
Behind me I heard someone clear their voice and I turned around. There before me stood Mina, her lips coated in a pink gloss, and she wore a nice blue summery dress that went down to her knee. It looked great on her...beautiful…
"Holy shit. Didn't know I was to be accompanied by a princess" I smirked trying to be charming
She giggled "I didn't know I was going to be accompanied by such a dashing young man. I think you should dress like this more often. Shows that body of yours off better" Mina smirked "So where are you taking me hmm?"
I chuckled "It's a surprise. Don't want to ruin the fun of it do ya?"
"Aww cmon just a little hint?" she pouted
"Nope not even a little"
She sighed dramatically "Fine fine...but it better not be some stripper joint or something"
I laughed "I would never do that to ya Minny. That'd be cruel"
She rolled her eyes as I led her to my truck.
Mina POV
We rode in Scud's truck, allowing him to take me to his surprise venue. I wasn't sure where he'd take me, he wasn't the most rich guy in the world so maybe burgers something. I'm not complaining at all, I love burgers, and i'm not the type of girl who is afraid of eating in front of the guy they are going out with. If a guy didn't like the way I ate they could just go screw themselves. Though Scud seemed different, he didn't seem to care about others flaws, he just...accepted them and they didn't phase him in the slightest. But...if he knew about my dad...I don't think he'd ever want to be near me…
"We're here. Close your eyes, I'll lead ya there k?"
"Ok…" I giggled
"Ok just uh...wait here and...close your eyes" he said as he went to the back of the truck and then went off into the distance. I did as I was told, closing my eyes. Now I was very intrigued as to what was going on and where we were. Where was I?
10 minutes later Scud came back and slowly guided me out of the car.
"I hope you like this...otherwise I'm screwed" Scud chuckled
I giggled "I'm sure I'll love it. As long as it's none of the things I listed before"
"Damn...I thought you would like all that shit...damn…" he teased
"If I could see you right now i'd punch you in the arm"
He chuckled "After you see what I have in store, I think you'll be wanting to do something waaayyy different from that"
I mentally rolled my eyes. He was such a tease, I loved that about him. Scud was incredibly amusing to be with, always making me laugh and was a shameless flirt. Not that I minded the flirting part though...I smirked to myself.
"What are you smirking about?" he said, I knew he was smirking, wondering what I was thinking about.
"Oh just...things.." I giggled
"Oh? What kinds of things…?"
" It's top secret stuff. Not even the CIA knows" I teased
"Oooo now I'm interested…"
"I'm a ninja you know"
"Bullshit"
"It's true"
"Mmmhmm? I may be gullible but I ain't stupid"
"That can be argued…" I giggled
He scoffed "I am hurt that you'd think that! I'm going to cry..." Sniffling pretending to cry
"Aww...I'm sorry I hurt your manly feelings...Want me to kiss it better?" I smirked
"Yes please"
I opened my eyes a bit and leant forward, getting close to him and going close to his lips but didn't go in all the way, pulling back and stepping back, giggling.
" Now who's the tease?" he pouted
"I told you maybe after you've given me dinner"
"Alright alright...close your eyes"
Finally we reached where we supposed to. Scud stopped me.
"You can open your eyes"
I opened my eyes and immediately my eyes widened. We were in a little grove, flowers of all kinds surrounding us. It was beautiful…In the middle of the tiny grove lay a blanket and on it a picnic basket sat right on it. I smiled at Scud who started towards the blanket, sitting down.
"It's...it's beautiful here…"
He smirked "I thought you'd like it..Cmon sit your pretty little ass down"
I giggled and sat down next to him. He reached into the basket and pulled out a container filled with chocolate covered strawberries, opening it up and offering one.
"Feed me" I smirked slyly
He grinned, obviously liking the idea. I opened my mouth as he put it near. I took a bite into it, immediately my palette tasted the sweetness of the chocolate and strawberry combined. I slightly moaned in the pleasure of the taste.
"You like it?"
"I love it" I smiled "I've always loved chocolate covered strawberries. They have always been my favourite treat"
"Well we have plenty more where that came from" he chuckled as he took out another container with some finger sandwiches.
"You made all this food?" My eyes widened
"Well...I must admit I did have a bit of help from a friend…" he scratched his head
I giggled and leant forward, kissing his cheek "Well the thought that you set all of this up for me is amazing. Thank you Scud"
He blushed lightly and smiled, taking on of the sandwiches and putting it in his mouth.
"You know...Scud isn't actually my name. It's Josh"
"Well then...Josh...Thank you so much for everything
As the night finally started to arrive we packed up all of the stuff and headed back to the truck. It had been a wonderful night with Scud or should I say Josh. I couldn't believe that a guy like him could be so...romantic...It gave me a different perspective of him….I liked it...alot.
When we finally pulled up to the warehouse I smiled at him and leant over and kissed his lips. His hand cupped the back of my neck, pulling me closer as his tongue gently licked at my lips, begging for entrance. Usually I would have teased him, not allowing him easy access, but after that night...I allowed him...and his tongue slipped past my lips, exploring the depths of my mouth, grazing mine. His tongue wrestled with mine, causing me to moan. I wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him closer. Our lips moved together, melding perfectly. He was an amazing kisser...I had to admit that...My head was spinning with emotions...I pulled back and smirked, resting my forehead against his.
"That was amazing…" I smiled lightly
"Which part?" he smirked
"All of it…." I pressed my lips against his again "Thank you for the great night" I got out of the truck and headed back into the warehouse to get some sleep.
