Chapter 6

Vivian P.O.V.

I woke up smiling. Everything was so perfect right now. I was here a total of one day and already had met someone I could call a friend. Or I hoped he would let me call him a friend. I was quite aware that he was probably just around me because Aro told him to be, but he had bought me so many things last night I felt it was hard to think that we hadn't bonded. He was so polite, and so ATTRACTIVE! I sighed. What was I going to do with myself?

I looked over to the clock and felt surprised. It was ten AM and I was awake on my own. This rarely happened. I sat up in my incredibly comfortable bed and huffed. What would today bring? The only way to find out would be to get up and dressed and eat. I got off of my bed and shuffled over to my dresser. I had put all of my new clothes away last night before I went to sleep, so they were all here. I picked out a cute pair of skinny jeans and an elegant yet casual top. I quickly grabbed them and went into my bathroom to shower.

As I was under the steaming water, I thought of all the places in the castle I would want to visit today. There was the library, and if there was one, the garden. I wanted to stay away from the vampires around the time they fed, but otherwise I wanted to meet them all too. I would also need to go see how my mom was doing. I couldn't tell her what I realized about her employers, but I wanted to see she was okay.

I finished washing my hair and body and shaving, then shut the water off, grabbing the towel from the rack. I missed my friends already, but there wasn't much I could do about it now. I got dressed, humming random songs to myself and brushed my hair. All dressed and mostly ready for the day, I skipped to the fully stocked kitchen. These people thought of everything, didn't they? I grabbed a bowl from the cupboard and poured myself some Life. I really did love my cereal. As I was pouring my milk, I heard a knock at the door.

I set the milk down and walked over, opening the door when I approached it. It was, as I suspected, Alec. I smiled.

"Hey." I said, moving out of the way so he could enter.

"Hello. Sleep well?" He asked.

"Splendid." I smiled. "You?"

"Funny." He smiled. I walked back over to my bowl and moved it to the table. I motioned with my hand for him to sit in the chair opposite me. He did, his smile getting wider.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" I asked him.

"Well, I thought that we could maybe go to the library, and maybe you can eat lunch in the gardens? There are a few tables there that aren't used very often." He said, looking at me. I blushed under his gaze.

"Sounds perfect. I had wanted to go visit those places anyways. And after lunch we can go visit mom. I wanna see her." I replied, finishing up the cereal that was in my bowl and drinking the milk. He seemed fascinated by this small thing, which made me even more self conscious then I already was. I put my bowl down and wiped my face with my napkin. He grabbed my bowl before I could do anything and went over to the sink. I was surprised. In the books, all of the guard seemed so stuck up that I had assumed that they wouldn't even bother trying to wash dishes. But there Alec was, turning on the water and washing the bowl I had just used. I smiled. He was really quite sweet. I walked back into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and caught myself smiling. I grabbed my eyeliner and put it on then walked back into the living room.

Is it me or did his face just light up? I thought to myself. I shook my head of the thought. It was impossible. What would he ever see in me when there are so many beautiful vampires here? He walked over to the door and held it open.

"Hold on, I just thought of something." I said, running into my bedroom. I grabbed what I wanted from my dresser drawer and ran back to the door. "I want you to have this. You're the only friend I have here yet." I said, handing him the other key to my suite.

Alec P.O.V

She wanted me to have her other key? But she had only known me a day. She was a very trusting person. Just another amazing quality. I smiled, taking it from her.

"Are you sure?" I asked her uncertainly.

"Absolutely. How can you be around me all the time if you don't have a key?" She asked, smiling. I really did like her smile, and I decided from that moment I would do anything to see her smile. I motioned with my hand for her to exit the room first and as soon as she was in the hallway, I closed and locked the door with my new key. I put the small trinket in my pocket, and held out my arm for her to take. She smiled and slipped her arm through mine. I led her down the staircases, feeling like the happiest person in the world in that moment.

I am SOOOOOO sorry for not updating for literally a year. I just sorta forgot about this story, and when I thought about it I was unable to think of what to write, but I assure you I am back. I will try my best to write. But I need reviews in order to do that. Five reviews before I update next. I just hope you guys haven't forgotten about it or unfavorited it. I love you guys if you are still with me. I will write about the experience in the library and the rest of the day in the next chapter. But remember, FIVE reviews. i know you guys can do it. love ya!
