Enjoy Chapter 8, ALL! P.S. I decided to play around with a little Jerry POV in this chapter. Tell me what you all think! If I did a good job at it or not….
I pulled my shirt back over my stomach and told whoever it was to come in. It was Serena…again.
"Um, Charlie just texted me asking if you were at the park tonight?" What is she talking about? How would anyone know I was at the park? Jerry and I were the only ones there.
"Who's Charlie, Serena?" She looked at me like I was the stupidest person on earth.
"That guy, Charlie, from my school. He's in like, all of my classes. You don't remember me telling you about him after the first day of school?"
"No." I was starting to get impatient. Where was she going with this? "Okay? What are you getting at? Yes, I was at the park tonight."
"With Jerry."
"Yes, how the hell do you know? Were you spying on me you little bitch?"
"I wasn't spying on you. Charlie was around there and he saw you with Jerry and he wanted me to tell you to stay away from him but, you can't let Jerry know that Charlie said that." The whole time she told me this she was looking at her phone screen.
"What? Why is this kid, who I haven't even met yet, spying on me? And why does he want me to stay away from Jerry. Is he a serial killer or something?" I hope she can hear the sarcasm in my voice.
"Um, I have no clue. I've been questioning him for the last half hour and he said he'll tell us all in due time. He's being freaking weird."
"Yeah, I'd say so. Does he even know Jerry?"
"Apparently, he does. He refuses to talk anymore about it and said he'll speak to you soon." I just gave a look to Serena like her and her new little boyfriend were nuts. This Charlie kid probably watches too many scary movies, like me. Without another word Serena exited my room and I was finally able to relax and get a shower. I peeled off my sweaty clothes and took off my sneakers. Completely naked, I undid my hair from the pony tail that I had it in letting my long dark brown hair cascade down my back and shoulders. I turned my head and realized that I was right in front of my bedroom window! I got extremely embarrassed and fell to the floor. Great, I'm sure someone in the neighborhood may have seen me. I almost had another extreme freak out when I realized that my bedroom window faces Jerry's house. Oh my God, what if he saw me? I would never be able to face him again. I'd be so mortified. I decided to peek out of my window to see if anyone was outside who could have maybe seen me. I almost puked when I saw that Jerry was standing outside. He was looking up at the sky. Okay, maybe he had just come outside now, after I ducked under the window. He probably saw nothing. I continued to stare at him, looking at the stars. Once again, I was caught staring at him from my bedroom window when, all of the sudden, his gaze shot towards my direction. I ducked my head out of sight as quick as I could. I face palmed rather hard against my face causing my nose to burn with pain. I quickly crawled over to my bedroom door and grabbed my bath towel and wrapped it around my naked body. I should really get curtains for the window, I thought, as I exited my bedroom and walked to the bathroom for a hot shower. I shut the bathroom door behind me and locked it. I removed the towel from around my body and set it on the sink. I turned on the shower and the steam started to form in the bathroom. I was looking in the mirror at my face when it felt like someone tapped me on the shoulder. I quickly turned around to find no one behind me. I felt weird but, I took a deep breath and told myself to calm down. I walked a step over to the shower and stuck my hand in, testing the water. The water was to my liking and I stepped into the shower letting the water soak my hair and body. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was watching me from the other side of the shower curtain. I gathered up some courage and peaked from behind the curtain. Just as I suspected… nobody. Then, I remembered I had locked the bathroom door. I told myself I was stupid for thinking someone was staring at me from the other side when I had locked the door. A locked door clearly means no one can get in… right?
Jerry's POV
Yes, yes, yes my sweet little devil, a locked door does me no one can get in…unless you're immortal. I say with a chuckle as I watch her peek from behind the curtain. I am invisible to the human eye. It is one of my many vampire abilities. I'll have this girl under my thumb in no time and Charlie better stay out of my way if he knows what's good for him. He should already know from what happened to him a year ago. The sound of the shower turning off breaks me out of my thoughts. I'm sitting on the toilet waiting for her to exit the shower so, I can get another greedy look at this girl's naked body. Those large, perky breasts are to die for. Before my eyes, the curtain opens and she steps out of the shower. Her pale skin glistens from the droplets of water that are on her skin. Her hair is dripping wet and hangs to the center of her back. She reaches for the towel and to my dismay; she raps it around her naked, wet body. Damnit! She opens the door and exits the steamy, hot bathroom; I follow her to her bedroom and stop at the doorway and grin as I watch her. I close my eyes and in a flash I'm on my porch gazing up at her window. She really does need curtains. I can see everything.
