AN:Okay guys I'm sorry for taking so long to update and i'm sorry if Sydney doesn't act like sydney im not Richelle Meads but in this chapter I made sure she didnt act like Sydney. okay so stay tuned because things are about to get romantic at Palm Springs. I also want to add whats wrong with Sydneys blood in soon but I dont know what to say is wrong with her blood ideas would be appreciated. :D

So far everyone was having a good time. Even I was having a good time, well as good as I could with the creatures of the night. I'm so happy Zoe's safe from becoming and Alchemist right now I don't want her to live this life; Always being told what you can and can't do, being judge by every little thing you do. Alchemist are hard people to deal with, sometimes I wish I could be more like my mom she's such a free soul. As we were getting out of the car Adrian pulled me aside.

"You guys go inside I need to talk to Sage." Adrian said. That took me by surprise I thought Adrian was still mad at me. It took the others by surprise to judging by the expressions on their faces.

"Yeah okay. We'll see you inside." Eddie said. I nodded.

"So what do you want to talk about?" I said a little too harshly.

"Look sage I wanted to apologize for how I acted the other day. I know you just trying to help anyways. I'm sorry and I hope you can forgive me?" I was stunned into silence, I didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe Adrian Ivashkov just apologized to me.

"U-uh thank you..?" I half asked.

"Well Sage now that this heart to heart conversation is over let's eat, I don't know bout you but I am starved all that playing it down has made me hungry." He said rubbing his stomach. I couldn't help it I had to laugh at that.

"Is that what playing it down looks like on Adrian Ivashkov?" I scoffed.

"Well I didn't want to make your boyfriend cry." My mouth was set in a hard line.

"My what? Trey and I just friends." I replied calmly. He gave me this devilish looking grin.

"Could have fooled me Sage." He said with a wink. That made my heart skip a beat. It's seems that these days I have no control of what my heart does.

"Can we just go inside, I thought you said you were starved?" I raised an eyebrow. Turning the tables back on him.

"Okay whatever floats your boat." He said.

"Yes it does float my boat because I want to eat." He burst out laughing. "Sage don't ever say that it doesn't suit you. It sounds so funny when you say it. Do it again."

"I so glad I can amuse you."I said dryly and Adrian was back to his normal self.

"Please sage." These days I'm just amusing everyone with my lack of coolness. I let out sigh

"Yes it does float my boat." He doubles over with laughter.

"You're hilarious." I found the table where Jill, Eddie and Angeline were sitting at.

"Why is Sydney hilarious?" Eddie asked. Looking at me curiously. I groaned great now he was going to tell the whole world how awkward and uncool I am. But before he could tell them what I did he had to stop laughing so hard first. When he finally caught his breath he said.

"Sage and I were talking about Trey and then she says can we go inside I thought you were starved, and I say whatever floats your boat, and then she says yes it does float my boat because I want to eat." He starts laughing again and this time his clutching his sides. Good I'm glad that him laughing at me is starting to hurt him. Jill just stares at us incredulously

"How is that funny?" Adrian finally recovers from his laughing fit.

"It's the way she said it. Say it again Sage."

"No!" I growled at Adrian. I said crossing my arms defensively.

"Look I just want to eat thank you very much not be a comedian of the family."

"Yeah that's my job." Adrian says seriously. I slide next to Angeline in the booth and Adrian slides in next to me. I wish he sat next to Jill. Not that I'm afraid of him it's just he's getting on my nerves. Like Adrian sensed that he was getting on my nerves.

"Lighten up sage look I'm the only one who finds it funny so I must be the weird one." He said.

He's right. I hate to admit it but it's true nobody else found it funny, in fact after Adrian told them and they didn't get it they just went back to there conversation. I tried listening to what they were talking about and not think about how close Adrian was sitting next to me or how I could feel the heat radiating of him. He smelled really good snap out of it Sydney he's a vampire. Adrian shifted around a bit in his seat and then his arm accidently brushed mine and I gasped because the part of my arm which he brushed against is now tingling. This hasn't happened before I hated remembering Lees death but while we were in Keith's apparent with two strigoi's and how Adrian held my hand to comfort me I didn't feel anything like but warmth and comfort maybe I was so caught up and scared that I didn't have time to assess how Adrian's hand felt on mine. Wait what was I saying I can't feel anything for this party boy vampire especially one the goes through so many girls I laughed inside my head its probably nothing your tired and over thinking things and also feeling things that aren't real that would explain a lot. Gosh I'm so silly thinking Adrian actually affected my body for a second. I smiled to myself Adrian seemed to notice and raised one of his eyebrows giving me a puzzled look. I realized I hadn't been paying attention to their conversation but judging by the look on Adrian's face and the way Jill looked serious while they were discussing whatever they were discussing, wasn't something you should be smiling about. I immediately felt guilty tried to listening to what they were talking about so I could join in to the program.

"Sage are you okay?" A concerned look crossed Adrian's features. That was new for Adrian only person he's ever concerned about is Jill and himself. Wait that was a little mean where was all this anger coming from? I really needed to get some sleep.

"Yeah I'm fine just tired." I said. Eddie had heard Adrian ask if I was okay and look at me with concern too. I wish everybody would stop looking at me like that I needed space. I excused myself to use the bathroom which was empty. I looked at my reflection in the mirror I wish I was skinner and prettier I let out a long sigh being with Jill all the time is not helping much with my insecurities. And it was giving me an edge too. That's when I realized why I had such mean thoughts towards Adrian because he was perfecting looking too. Now I have to go back out there and face their perfect complexion and how skinny and good looking they are. My life sucks I walked out of the bathroom and saw they had finished eating and were waiting for me to so they can leave.

"All set." Eddie asked.

"Yeah." I said glumly. Just like before we entered the restaurant Adrian grabs me aside

"You guys go on ahead I need to talk to Sage, give them your keys." That snapped me out of my trance.

"What no!" I protested.

"Why not sage it's not like their gonna hijack your car." Adrian shot back.

"Fine." I grumbled and handed the keys to Eddie.

"What's up Sage?" He asked. Getting straight to the point.

"Nothing. I told you I'm just tired." He gave me this look like he didn't believe me. "Wait since when do you care what's up with me?"

"Since we became related." I had to crack a smile at that one man my moods were all over the place.

"She finally thinks one of my jokes are funny." That's not true I thought the Keith thing was funny too but I wasn't going to tell him that.

"Now that you're done interrogating me can we go?" He held my gaze for a few seconds deciding if I was telling the truth about the tired thing. I guess he did believe me because a few seconds later he said

"Okay."

"Do you like Trey?" the question threw me off guard.

RxR xx stay tuned until next time
