Chapter Seven: Confessions of Crushes
-Three Weeks After Ashlee's 'Incident'-
Vlad walked alongside Henry and Ashlee, going towards the beach. It was Saturday, the one day off of the week. The three decided on hanging out on the waterside.
This was the first time Vlad would ever see Ashlee in the water. And, he couldn't stop thinking about it.
Henry and Ashlee were having a conversation among looked over to the werewolf. She was smiling at him, brushing her bangs out of her face.
Vlad never really realized the crush he had on her, but the fact that Henry was making her laugh made him a tad bit jealous.
"What do you think, Vlad?" Ashlee interrupted his jealous thought. Her eyes sparkled as she glanced at Vampire.
"Wait, what?" He asked, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"What do you think of my brothers?"
"Nut jobs." Vlad answered without thinking.
The other two laughed.
"Too bad you don't have any siblings, Vlad, I'd love to meet them if you did." she stated.
Innocently, she grabbed his hand. Vlad didn't understand the gesture, he felt his face grow warm.
'He's trying to flirt with me. I'm hoping this will make him stop.'
Wait…did she just say the in his head.
'Yep! But, I can only do it when I'm physically touching something. Like, your hand, for instance.'
'Cool' Vlad said in his mind.
Henry noticed them, and a slight blush brushed his cheeks.
Vlad smiled to himself.
They walked through the woods, and down the dirt slope, finally ending at the waterside. There were only a few people there, but what do you expect for any overcast day and the chance of thunder showers?
A blonde haired girl walked over and smiled at Henry and Vlad. "Hey, my friend and I were wondering if you wanted to come hang out with us, Henry?"
He looked at Vlad, who shrugged in defeat.
Henry walked away with the girl, as Vlad and Ashlee decided where to put the beach towels they brought.
They found a prefect spot, a shady spot far from others. It was the perfect for Vlad to make his 'move' on the werewolf girl.
Quickly setting up their little area, Ashlee sat watching the water. She seemed so distracted by it.
"Ashlee?" Vlad sat down next to her, waving his hand in front her face.
"Oh! Sorry, the water is…distracting." she sighed.
"Do you want to go in?"
She smiled, "Yes. Very much so…"
Vlad attempted not to stare as Ashlee took off her black tee shirt, reveling a very feminine hot pink spotted black bikini top. Then, removing her jeans to revel a pair of black board shorts.
"Wow…" Vlad whispered, already ready to get in the water.
"Hmm?" She asked.
"Uh, nothing…"
She stood up, and smirked. "Race you to the water."
"You're on." Vlad smirked along with her, standing up.
"Ready…Set…GO!!!"
They ran next to each other, pushing and shoving each other. Both jumped and landed in the water at the same time, coming up a few seconds later from under.
"I win!" she declared, throwing her arms in the air.
"Oh, yeah right, I did!" Vlad laughed.
"You lie!" She pushed him playfully, swimming deeper into the water.
He smirked, following her.
"Ah, maybe it's the dog in me saying this, but I just love the water!" she said, almost musically, while floating on her back.
"Eh, it's okay…"
She lifted her head. "Okay? Just okay?"
He shrugged.
"What do I have to do to make you love the water?" she asked.
"I don't think there is anything you can do…"
"There has to be something!"
Vlad thought for a moment.
This is the perfect time to do it, Vlad…
"Close your eyes." he said, taking a few steps towards her in the water.
"O-okay…?" she raised a doubting eyebrow, but did as he asked.
The vampire inhaled, and let his heart get the best of him.
He kissed her.
~Far in the dark woods~
"DAMMIT!" Judas screamed, punching the ground.
Salem, who was sprawled out on the ground eating a handful of blueberries, sighed. "Your too hard on her. She's a teenager and it's only temporary. Puppy love, you could say." he snickered at his on pun.
"But, the vampire?!" his brother whined.
"Well, I remember a certain werewolf who fell for a vampire…" Salem smirked.
"Do you remember what happened to that certain werewolf?" Judas growled.
Salem grew silent.
"I do, the vampire was staked and the certain werewolf was blinded in one bloody eye so they would never even think to look at another blood-sucker! Now, you tell me, do you want that kind of lifestyle for our sister?!" Judas spat, glaring at Salem.
"Right, sorry…Just give it a month. It won't last. I swear."
Judas grunted in response. There was no way in hell that punk was going to make his sister blind.
Well, it's been a while *whistles*. How ya doin'?
Vlad admits his crush, but it's not the end! I promise. Between a confession from Henry and an angry older brother, how fun…
Plus, Judas has a numb eye…How sad…
Anyway, enjoy, and comment my faithful readers!!!
