Chapter 6

When I walked back into the apartment I noticed that Izuru had fallen asleep in his bedroom and Darren and Eric had both fallen asleep as well but they were on the couch and floor. I smiled to myself and went into my bedroom and laid down and went to sleep myself, hoping that I would remember the boy's name. But alas, even in my sleep I had no luck remembering his name.

-The next morning-

I woke up at 6:30 a.m., and went into the kitchen and made a bowl of cereal along with a nice cup of milk. After about an hour of silence Izuru woke up and walked into the kitchen as I was reading the paper.

"Morning," he said groggily while yawning.

"Morning," I replied nonchalantly flipping a page in the paper.

"Darren and Eric still asleep?" he asked making a cup of warm blood.

"Yeah, by the way do I need to pick up more bagged blood for you today?" I asked kindly looking up from the paper and at Izuru.

Izuru thought for a moment and then shook his head no. I nodded and folded the paper and got up to get another glass of milk when we heard my phone go off in my bedroom. I sighed and walked into the bedroom and plucked my phone off the charger and answered it.

"Hello?" I said calmly.

"Liz, it's Miranda. What are you doing today?" she said on the other end of the line.

I sighed and mentally slapped myself for not reading the caller ID on my phone screen. Izuru just laughed from the kitchen. Damn his vampric hearing. I faked a smile and went straight to answering to her.

"Miranda, I didn't expect you to call this early in the morning. But anyway to answer your question about my plans for later, I'm not doing anything of importance today. Why?" I asked kindly.

"Well, I figured you'd want some time to hang out with some friends. You're always cooped up in your apartment with Izuru. You need some time out." Miranda said happily.

"You know you're way to happy and hyper at this time of the day. I'm still working on my second glass of milk for the day and I'm still not fully awake yet." I sighed as I sat down on my messy bed.

"Your point is what so far, Liz?" Miranda said laughing a little.

"Where do you want to meet at?" I asked trying to figure out what I was going to wear for the day.

"Down at the Cafe at 11:00. I'll be with Aaron," she said happily hanging up the phone.

I sighed and smiled like a little kid when I think of the times I spent with Miranda and Aaron. Izuru walked in and leaned on the door-frame.

"What was that all about Liz?" He asked swallowing the last of the warm blood.

"That was Miranda. She wanted me to hang out with her and Aaron for the day." I replied getting off the bed and walking to the closet.

"Really?" Izuru said.

"Yeah," I replied.

I opened the closet door and opened it to see what was clean and then figure out the outfit for the day. After about and hour or so of trying to find an outfit, I found the perfect or somewhat perfect outfit. I walked out into the living room and smiled as I spun around wearing a knee length pink skirt with a black quarter length sleeve shirt with a pink sweater on top and with a pair of one and a half inch heeled black boots. I smiled at Izuru and that smile disappeared when I noticed that Darren and Eric weren't in the apartment. Izuru noticed that I was upset that they weren't there and he walked over and placed a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Liz. They snuck out when you were on the phone with Miranda. They told me to tell you that what ever you wore today would look great in their opinions." Izuru smiled and wrapped me in a hug.

I smiled weakly a hugged Izuru back, "it's alright Izuru, I had a feeling they would leave sometime soon."

Izuru pulled back and smiled again, but bigger this time to where I saw just a hint of his pearl white vampire fangs. I smiled and placed my hands on Izuru's and laughed.

"I should go, otherwise Miranda will get mad at me for being late." I turned to the door and grabbed my wallet and cellphone making sure I had enough money to spend for the day, all the while I turned to Izuru to say I'd see him later when he walked over and took the gun from my sweater pocket.

"Do I want to know why you're carrying a gun in your pocket?" Izuru asked sarcastically while waving the gun around a little while the safety was on.

I sighed, "you caught me. I was taking my gun with me for protection in case anything happened."

It was Izuru's turn to sigh. He sat the gun down on the side table and consisted to pat me down like a cop would a suspect. Once he was done patting me down, he patted my shoulder and pulled out all five of my hidden knives along with another hidden .22 revolver. He sighed in annoyance.

"You're going out with your best friend and her boyfriend for the day. You are not taking any kind of weaponry with you at all, do you understand me?" Izuru said.

I shrugged my shoulders and nodded in compliance with what he said. I then turned around for the final time and opened the apartment door and left for the little cafe called Winter's Cafe.
