"Don't put me on a pedestal, for I am sure to fall. But love me as I am, flaws and all.-Unknown"
I had been reading the latest issue of my favourite trashy gossip magazine, reading what was in and what was out worldwide. Usually I would be totally into reading what was happening with the big stars, but I wasn't. The most interesting thing I had seen in these pages all evening was one of the unknown actresses had the same YOLO crop-top as mine. Wow.. Crazy.. My mind was overloaded.
I hadn't seen David all night, Micheal either.. And the boys wouldn't tell me what had happened to either of them.. And believe me, I was asking them. It almost hurt to be away from him for some time; I was on worry mode. My good mood had been shattered.. I needed to know where the both of them were, not only Mike, but David too.. What if something happened!?
"Marko.." I began, trying once more for the sake of my mate and big brother. I noticed him sigh gently from his place at the pool side beside me, his eyes flickering from the water of the pool to my chair. I could tell by the puppy dog look in his eyes, he was begging me not to ask him any more. But I needed too.. I was worried.
"We're are they?" I nearly whispered as the boys continued on splashing each other in the pool. There mind wasn't idle, so they probley couldn't pick up on the conversation. Apparently I need to become full vampire before they can hear everything; but David was an exception. He was my mate.
"Missy-" he stopped in mid-sentance. I nearly choked on my own breath as I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I knew exactly who it was.
"Hey Crimson."
David.
I jumped to my feet, a little bit more enthusiastic than implied.
"David." I murmured underneath my breath before collapsing in his arms. I heard him chuckle softly as his arms lightly touched my tiny waist with a gentle hug, before pulling me back to face me.
"You're acting like I hadn't been around for years." He seemed amused by this.. What was wrong with him?.. No, not his words, I was use to his behavior by now.. His eye. He has a black eye.
"David!" I gasped as I rushed to the discoloration underneath his eye socket. I lightly brush my fingers on the bruise as we remain looking deep into each others eyes. I didn't need to know what had happened; I already knew. Micheal.. I wasn't stupid.. He had broke his promise to me, he had harmed David..
David's pov.
Missy looked up at me with fearful eyes as she lightly brushed my eye with her fingers, all the while staring deeply into my eyes. Its as though she thought the bruise would actually hurt me.. She wasn't use to the vampire way.. She only looked at me as a beast when I unleashed it, but on a normal night she looked at me as though I were a human.. How? It's funny she isnt running yet, running away from me. It's as though she's already aced my test.. She doesn't need to study, she's got all the answers correct deep within her. She's smart, with a heart of gold.
"Come let me clean you up.." She said it as though it were a demand, not an offer.. Though I followed. The boys wolf whistled from behind us, but all went ignored.
Missy had led me to the nearest bathroom, which happened to be down the hallway from the kitchen where Lucy and Max were idly cooking dinner. Like the happy mates that they are. She sat me on the closed toilet and began digging through the cabinets trying to find a first aid kit. She didn't know vampires didn't need no such thing.. Maybe she did, but she looked at me differently like I had said before. The beast within me doesn't come to mind with her, it never did.. Thats something I love about her. She makes me feel human.. Jesus! What am I saying!?
She finally found a first aid-kit with 'SAM' sprawled across the front in black marker. He was the only one here who would need it, him and Missy of course. She whispered a small 'Yes!' of triumph to herself as she flipped the cover open and began digging through it. Theres not much you could do for a black eye, but she seemed to give me more treatment than necessary. I sat there, staring off in space.. Wondering why I was sitting here like a dummie, letting her paint my face up with this human product. Damn.. Whats happening to me.
"Does it hurt?" She whispered gently as she finished dabbing a Q-tip against my eye. I let a genuine smile take over my lips as I looked down into her eyes.. I wouldn't want anyone else but her to be my mate. Theres nothing I can't love about her..
I opened my mouth to reply when footsteps echoed throughout the hallway, than stopped, than a click, and the footsteps trailed off again. Sam.. I will get him, he better remember he has to live with me for the rest of his immortal life. Stupid kid.
When I didn't reply she placed the soaked Q-tip on the counter and pushed my jacket off, letting it fall from my arms and to my sides. I let her.. I don't know why, I don't understand why.. But I let her. She sat back down again, pulling yet another Q-tip from the first aid kit and began dabbing my eye again. Thats when I heard the footsteps again, this time taking a deep breath and smelt his horribly cheap cologne. Micheal Emerson.
A smirk took over my lips as the pictures of last night came into view as his silhouette passed the bathroom, stopping and peering in at his baby sister cleaning up his enemy. A low snarl escaped his lips as his fist clenched at his sides. I winked as Missy dove into the first aid kid for something else, leaving Micheal storm down the stairs with a headful of head.
There was nothing he could do to break us up..
A/N: Ohh.. A little bit of Micheal/David drama.. And Missy fluff!:)) Sorry if David is OCC like I always say, but this IS a romance, soo.. He has to be a little OOC. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed. I should be updating really soon!:)
READ AND REVIEW;))
