He helped me to the restaurant. So we got there, really fast. Which was good because I was getting sleepy again. We clean up some in the restroom before we are seated.
I ordered my favorite meal, a steak rare and mash potatoes. I've always loved it this way. It reminds me of my Dad, he gave me some of his as a baby and I couldn't get enough. It's been my favorite ever since, I miss his joke about bringing out the cow still mooing.
Alex ordered the same as me.
I love the warm blood with every bit of steak, but I can't help thinking about Alex, his blood was so sweet.
I can't stop staring at him.
He is very handsome, he keeps smiling. It's a small quiet smile but he is happy.
"Alex I still have so much I want to talk to you about. I have so many confusing questions now that I'm feeling better. However I don't think it will be good to have the conversation here."
"I have more I wanted to tell you too after what happened, but you kind of changed the topic. Which gave me questions for you, I don't know if you will have the answers."
" Do you think the last bus has left to the school yet?"
"Probably, not. You want to head back to the school?"
"yeah I want to go clean up. Do you want to meet back up in the courtyard after we clean up?"
"sounds like a plan."
"let's not talk about what happened with anyone else for now."
After we finished up we, the bill came and Alex paid I wasn't expecting it but I am not complaining.
We left and started walking to the bus stop. we was walking closely, I was holding his hand, after what happened in the day light, I didn't want to separate from him at night.
There is only one other person at the bus stop. We head to the back of the bus. I'm still holding his hand, I set next to him close enough to rest my head on his shoulder. I'm not tired at all anymore. I really feel like everything was a dream. It's so hard to believe. We went from one extreme to another. So many emotions took place in that alleyway and abandoned building. I know my emotions went crazy, but I don't regret any of it. I would do it again to save him. He took on 5 men in a weak state when he saw me in trouble. He was willing to die, instead of taking my blood.
Blood, I still smell his blood, is it on him or me? I take a deep breath smelling my clothes.
I can't tell, I smell him. The smell is pouring out of him. It smells so good, he is so sweet... I remember his hoodie being sweet too.
"Marie, why are you smelling me?"
"um, you smell good."
"well you just got this shirt it smells like the store."
"um yeah" how do I tell him, may be since he is a vampire he has special blood that attracts people. Maybe it's totally normal and I'm just being weird about it. I'll talk more about it after a shower he shouldn't smell so amazing then. It should be easier to bring up. "we're almost back, I can't wait to shower."
"me too, I've got so much blood on me still, it's driving me nuts"
As soon as we get to the school we go out separate ways I go straight to the shower. At least all the showers are separate. So no one will see the bites I don't need romers spreading around the school.
I undress in the shower and take off the wrapping Alex made the cotton strips was stuck to my skin with dried blood. It was like taking off a lot of random Band-Aids. Much to my surprise there was no scabs, at least not from the bites, there was some from being thrown to the ground but they wasn't to bad. There was bite marks but they didn't look like they broke skin. That's amazing, I know I was bleeding a lot. I'm going to have to ask him about that too. I was really good and put some pajamas on, I'm sure I'll be going to bed after I meet with Alex. I wear one of my hoodies, and I'm ready. I take the necklaces I got with me but shoved everything else in my locker for now. I don't want to face Tara without answers. I take my magic necklace too just in case I want it. I go straight to the courtyard to wait for Alex. I wanted to visit the courtyard again it's beautiful. Alex was there before me. He was setting under a tree, I joined him.
"sorry to keep you waiting." he still smells so sweet.
" no problem, I've just been thinking."
" I have so many questions. " I say eagerly
" Me too, do you want to go first?"
"ok... there is one question I can't get out f my head, I don't know how to word it. Why are you so sweet?"
He laughed," I wouldn't call it sweet, ditching you, trying to help, only to attack you myself sweet."
"no not that your smell, your taste. It's sweet really sweet and strong, I sweetness even now, and it makes me want to get closer. why? "
"that's a good question, I've never heard of any non vampires liking blood at all. I don't notice the smell. I know you smell good to me, but vampires and werewolf have amazing smell to help us hunt."
"why did I heal so quickly? the marks are almost gone and it's only been a few hours. I know I was bleeding but there is no scabs. You healed really fast do you think it's because I drank some of your blood first?"
"possible I've been told my blood has healing properties. I thought I would be able to answer your question better. sorry."
"Where did you go while I was in the store?"
"I said something i shouldn't have to Aaron and he punched me in the nose. I knew it would make him mad but I didn't think he would make me bleed. so I walked down the road to get cleaned up and when I got back you was both gone. I thought you was with Aaron, so I wasn't worried, till I smelled your blood."
"That's when you saved me. Why did you take on five men when you knew you was weak?"
"you needed my help, I couldn't leave you."
"after you got hurt you knew that you lost to much blood you, you knew you was in danger and you didn't want to let me help why?"
"I've never... taken human blood from a person before. I've drank donated blood, but it's different, your blood smelled so sweet and was so hard to resist. once you became intoxicated from my bite I didn't know if I could stop myself, but you stopped me you some how was still incontrol I've never heard of that happening, that's why our bites our so dangerous. How was you still in control?"
"I don't know. I never lost control until I passed out."
"so all that kissing and touching was you?"
"well for some reason the bite felt amazing, your arms around me, felt comfortable. I wanted to touch you back in a was that would feel good for both of us."
"And you let me take of your shirt because?" he's smiling, it's a sexy smile.
I giggled, I know I'm blushing. " living in the moment? I wanted to see where you was going.... I know that sounds bad but I've never been alone with anyone like that."
"you mean a vampire?"
"no I mean the opposite sex, alone, close, touching, you mouth on my body, it was exciting, fun, my body was consumed by
pleasure."
"you can't keep talking like that."
"why I'm just being honest."
"your making me want you."
"is that such a bad thing?"
"God why are you so tempting?"
I just smile and laid my head on his lap.
"what else did you want to tell me, about vampires? " I breath deeply enjoying his smell while he talked.
"Vampires and werewolves hate each other, they have as long as they have existed. Both vampires and werewolves can function like humans in the day, but it's harder at night. We both have trouble with control, emotionally and physically, our bodies are drawn to the night, and that's when we want to feed most. For the longest time werewolves hunted for life food at night, they hunted everything but humans, where vampires craved human blood. We didn't have to kill our food because we drank the blood, werewolves devoured the whole animal. ...
Werewolves and vampires can mark their parents so that others leave them alone. Sometimes it's with there sent other times a physical mark."
"have you marked me?"
"no I would never do that with out your permission. I mean every bite is a temporary mark but it will fade quickly. sorry."
"that's ok, I didn't give you a choice. Stop apologizing please."
"as you wish." he rubs the side of my face smiling at me. I close my eyes, his hand is cool but it feels nice. He pulls back when I close my eyes, I grab his hand and put it back. He rubs the side of my face and runs his fingers through my hair. I can feel him looking at me.
"You need to stop being so cute." Alex said.
"Or what?" I joke setting up.
"I might just kiss you." he smiles holding me I rub my hand on the side of his face and behind his ear I placed my forehead on his and smile.
"not if I Kiss you first," I move closer but I'm getting nurves, excited.
Our lips touch gently, they are soft and sweet, very sweet, I lick his lip softly, is that blood? I suck lightly on his lip and kiss again.
"wow,..." Alex said " it sounded like he wanted more. I did to but we are at school in a public place. "
"mmm, so sweet..." I think out loud.
"sorry I got nurves and bite my lip a little."
I sat next to him again my head on his shoulder.
"I got something for us they are matching necklaces, to remember today with. I have one for Aaron too but he dissapered." I put the necklace on him. I close my eyes and hold his hand.
"I don't know how I'll feel tomorrow, so much has happened today. I really need to prosses everything. "
