Chapter 1 – E
Disclaimer: I do not own the immortals
My name is Ever and not so long ago I was a stupid, blonde, airheaded Cheerleader in Eugene, Oregon. When the accident happened my whole world was in a spin. I had lost my mother, my golden – hearted dad, my loving yet annoying sister and beautiful dog Buttercup. Then I came to California. The one person that changed my whole world was Damen Auguste and his ex – wife I repeat ex – wife Drina. They are immortals so am I. Though when I was mortal and I was weak I killed Drina. Damen says that this is the first time in 600 years that he has ever seen me live out of the high school years. I also have a freaky power where I can see auras read minds and know someone's life story with one touch. I can also see ghosts.
Damen is my husband and we married once we got out of high school. Right now he is away on business. He is trying to perfect another one of his father's creations. He said he was supposed to be in Summerland to see me. I wish I could see my family and go back to old life but I love Damen and would never leave him. I also love being immortal it has its perks but I also see people I love and care for die. It can be hard.
I stepped into the office building on a dreary, wet Monday morning I made a quick beeline to my cubicle but stopped dead in my tracks by the annoying Samson Burnon.
"Hello Ever." I swear most times I thought he was gay. (I am not prejudice against any race or sexuality preference)
"What do you want?" This guy made me want to rip him a new one he was so annoying.
"Just wanted to tell you your cubicle has been moved."
"What?" When the hell did this happen?
"Yup" He popped his p "Just down there." He pointed to where I had just come from.
"You serious?"
"Yup"
"Well see you" I turned away as quickly as I could so I could get away from him.
"No, I'm gonna come show you."
I followed him to a cubicle that most newbie's used until they proved themselves worthy to use a better one. I had been with this company for quite a few years and I was surprised they changed the office around. Although I was not easily fooled with this idiot. I stopped him and surprised him by saying thank you and how kind he was. I actually offered to take him out to lunch my treat. His eyes widened in surprise and he started to stuttered. I was trying really hard not to laugh out loud.
"Uh... umm... well you ... see it's...just...umm." God this man needed to learn how to talk.
"Listen Sam." I put my arm around his shoulder. He looked at me scared. "You know we're buddies right?" He nodded "Well you see buddies do ice things for each other right?"
"yeah"
"Well we're not buddies." I stated. "Nor will we ever be buddies so lay of the jokes or you will wish you hadn't been born 'kay?"
He nodded. I smiled triumphantly and walked back to my original desk. I kept my head down and all the sudden I bumped into a wall. Although this particular wall was my boss. Now let me tell you this guy could make any woman wet herself instantly. He was almost six feet tall. Muscular but not like huge muscles just enough to be sexy as hell. He had beautiful deep brown eyes you would just want to get lost in and sexy bed head hair you just want to run your fingers through. Although I found him attractive like the rest of the female population I had to remember I was married.
"Ever" He also had a deep Baritone voice that was starting to make me wet. Shit Married!
"Yes sir?"
"I was wondering if you could do some filing for me. I'll send it to you through my computer."
"Alright I'll get right on it." He flashed me his white smile that could make you weak in the knees and walked off. I heard my co – worker Barbara sigh.
"Are you all right?" I asked her.
"No. I'm just trying really hard not to jump our boss."
"You and the rest of us."
"Ahem you're married." She said the word married very clearly. She and I were actually very close friends since I started here.
"I know but still you can't help fantasize."
"Uh huh. You got a gorgeous husband and now your lusting after your boss."
"Well."
"Get back to work." She waved her hand in the direction of my desk and I walked off. The second I sat down my phone started to ring.
"Hello?"
"Hi I am looking for Ever bottle – blond gorgeous?" Damen teased.
"Sorry this is Pint aria brunette, smart and incredibly ugly." I teased back.
"That's too bad."
"I know. So how's it coming?"
"Pretty good. You?"
"Not much scared the crap out of Sam." I didn't want to mention the part about me wanting to jump my boss.
"Hey I was just wondering if you wanted to see me? In Summerland?"
"I don't know what would we do there?" I asked.
"Hmmm maybe something like this?" I felt myself being pulled through the veil between Summerland and my office and I was being kissed hard and passionately on the mouth.
"God" I groaned. "Damen stop. Please stop." My voice sounded weak even in my own ears.
"Doesn't sound like you want me to stop."
"I need to work on work." He kissed me again and every thought of that went away.
He pulled me to a bed he conjured and then all the sudden everything disappeared including Damen. I looked around at the blackness that surrounded me. I knew something was wrong and I thought light and a little ball of light was in front of me.
"Hello?" I called into the darkness. Nothing.
I imagined my office and that's where I wanted to go. I saw the portal and I ran through it. I sat at my desk and put my head in my hands. What had happened?
Tee hee cliffy I hope you guys won't hate me but I won't be able to post for awhile. Anyways review it's good for your health and conscience. FYI the shield they were using was there I just didn't bother writing about it.
