He seemed to know what was hurting me...
After for what seemed like hours of me crying into this almost stranger's shoulder, I finally calmed down.
Taking a deep breath, I looked up into those dazzling eyes. He looked back at me and said,
"Are you ready?" I nodded knowing he was asking if I was ready for the rest of the story. It was a bit abrupt, I'll admit, but I was sitting on the lap of my newfound love and he seemed determined and almost a bit impatient. He sighed and continued, "So after they...they..." he gulped, "they hurt you, those bitches and bastards dragged you outside into the rain and left you there for as good as dead. I mean you were really beat up bad."
Ben said the last words in a rush and he seemed even more pained now but he continued. "Now here comes the part that might really creep you out." I doubled took his face and saw that he was serious and I shifted worriedly on his lap. "Ok, so its really important that you let me finish the entire story before you ask questions. So I was watching the entire thing and when you were brought outside, I had to wait awhile before getting to you to make sure no one saw me. I then went to you and brought you home and "fixed you up" kind of.
"Now before you ask how I knew where you were just let me explain." He must have seen my disturbed look. "The thing is I used to live in this house." My jaw dropped to the floor. He chuckled and put it back up. "I loved living here. But I was forced to separate from my family. I still love to come here and I saw you move into here. The honest truth is that I have been watching you ever since you came. I...I fell in love with you the second I saw you and I couldn't bear to be without seeing you. I watched you sleep and eat and go to school and all and I kept a constant watch over you for the next five months. I can't tell you how hard it was though to see you with...with...Will knowing that you had no idea that I even existed. So that's it." He looked at me with utter adorableness and hopefulness biting his lip. Aww, he was so sweet!
"Oh Ben!" True I was slightly freaked out because I knew that someone was stalking me, but the fact that my stalker was a totally sweet totally hot guy who was totally in love with me.
I wanted to lean up and kiss him so fiercely and passionately but as I was trying to do so he suddenly jerked away and gently slid me off his lap, abruptly standing up.
I blushed and said, "Sorry," so quietly I was surprised he could hear me. But he merely grunted and walked to my window looking out of it onto the street.
"There's something else I need to tell you. And I can guarantee you won't believe me...at least the first time I tell you or at least until I prove it to you."
"Ok, go on. I'm very curious," I replied in earnest. He seemed to be keeping something from me...a secret...a bad one.
"I..." he began, "I'm a vampire."
Holy shit!! What did he just say?!
