I was lying down on one of the garden sunbeds with my eyes closed and arms resting above my head. It would have been easy to fall asleep if it weren't for all the noisy, hormonal and slightly tempting seniors dancing around me "Hey uh sorry about that, there's a man-eating mutant alligator right towards this house" Ethan's voice said through the speakers. I groaned and opened my eyes while glancing back at the DJ stand where he had hold of the microphone. Everybody laughed and got back to what they were doing, I watched Ethan walked towards a table occupied by the strangely dressed Rory and Benny who were wearing the same as him.
"Really?" I asked annoyed while standing behind Ethan's chair "Here?!" I exclaimed, motioning to the house.
"It's not our fault Bailey we're trying to save people, the alligator lives underneath the hot tub" Ethan replied shaking his head, I sighed.
"Whatever, I'm gonna go mingle" I said, walking towards a group of good looking guys. I didn't want to make Benny loose any more trust in me than he already apparently had, but I couldn't help myself sometimes.
"hey Bailey, you wanna introduce me to your friends" A cheerful voice said from behind me, I glanced back at Erica and smiled.
"Hey Erica, this is Max, Alex, Jason and Carl. Boys this is Erica" I said, they all nodded and started checking her out "How are the guys?" I asked, she was about to reply when a loud roaring was heard.
"I'd say their fixing it!" she exclaimed frustratedly. As the boys ran off terrified, I turned around and found Rory and Benny holding a cover over the hot tub while. Ethan filled a soda bottle with something. The boys jumped off the cover and an alligator head popped out.
"I forgot about the biting!" Ethan exclaimed, struggling to get the soda into the alligator's mouth. Erica groaned and took it from him.
"I'll do it" she snapped, she hissed at the alligator before shoving the soda into it's mouth. Everybody moved away and ducked as the cover was blown off and alligator guts flew over the garden. I grimaced and wiped a spot off my shoulder "I got my phone back!" Erica exclaimed happily. I looked around me and sighed.
"I don't know if that was gross or totally awesome" I said in thought as I walked towards the boys. Tad took hold of Benny and Rory's shoulders, causing them to flinch.
"We took a vote and you nerds can stay" he said, the boys cheered and I giggled "But you gotta tell your girlfriend to stop polluting the bathroom cuz it smells like a dead skunk in there" he added before walking away. Ethan jumped up and down excitedly.
"He thinks Sarah's my girlfriend!" he exclaimed, high-fiving Benny. I rolled my eyes but knew what I had to do.
"Benny can I talk to you for a sec?" I asked hopefully, he nodded and let me lead him towards the other side of the pool where not many people were stood.
"So what did you wanna talk about?" he asked nervously, I sighed and tilted my head.
"Why don't you trust me?" I asked sadly, his eyes widened and he shook his head.
"Bailey of course I trust you, I just don't know if I trust Rory" he admitted, glancing back at the blonde vampire.
"Benny you have nothing to worry about, Rory's like a brother to me and I have a lot of fun with him!" I exclaimed.
"But Bailey he's a vampire how can I compete with that? I've seen how vampires work with their charm and everything" he said annoyed, I giggled.
"Benny you need to calm down okay? Just because I flirt with Rory doesn't mean anything, you never minded it before" I pointed out, he sighed.
"Well back then you weren't exactly my girlfriend, but even then I was jealous" he said a little embarrassed, I rolled my eyes.
"Benny I'm only gonna say this once okay? I love you and if Rory or any other guys wanna flirt with me or check me out then they can but it won't change how I feel about you okay?" I asked, he nodded and I hugged him.
"I love you too" he whispered, hugging me back. I smiled and he pulled back a bit.
"Why do you like me so much? I'm not trying to get you to brake up with me but you can fly with Rory, feed with him and do everything else so why are you going out with me?" he asked confusedly, I sighed.
"Because you were there for me before I became this monster Benny. When I was human you became my best friend and sure I'm close to Rory but I'm closer to you. And you've been so good to me even when I've nearly bit your head off because of vampire cravings" I said, he chuckled "You're my best friend and the fact that you never pushed me away after..." I paused and glanced at his neck where the scars were faintly visible "After that. You should be terrified of me after what I did but you're not, you still wanna be around me and I love you so much for that" I said, he sighed and nodded.
"I'm sorry Bailey, for doubting you and everything" he said apologetically, I shook my head.
"Don't apologize to me Benny you had every right to be jealous, but you need to trust me from now on okay? Otherwise this won't ever work" I said, motioning between us with my hand.
"I trust you Bail's" he sighed, I smiled and nodded.
"Okay, now if you don't mind I wanna go for a swim" I said, he nodded and looked at the mostly empty pool.
"You gonna wear that in?" he asked, looking at my short black dress.
"Really? Hell no!" I exclaimed, I grabbed the bottom of the dress and pulled it over my head, revealing my white bikini.
"Yikes" he muttered as I dropped my dress on the grass a few feet away. My necklace and sunglasses also joined it.
"Bye Benny" I smirked. I cannon balled into the pool and swam up to the ledge "You coming in?" I asked innocently, he nodded frantically.
"Definitely" he said, also jumping in. Once he came above the water he backed me into the wall and I put my arms around his neck, while his went around my waist "Yah know, that was the hottest cannon ball I have ever seen" he said, I laughed and flicked my wet hair out of my face.
"Thank you, I thought so to" I shrugged, he rolled his eyes and I locked my legs around his waist.
"So what d'you wanna do?" I asked, he smirked slightly.
"I have an idea" he said pressing me further into the pool wall, I giggled as his lips latched onto my neck.
