AT THE RESTAURANT
CLAUDE'S POV
Shit! This isn't according to what I thought it would. This girl always pops up out of nowhere. Always at the wrong place and time. Doesn't she have anything to do?! I need to do something about this.
GRACE'S POV
Is that really…fangs? Vampires... exist? No…..no…. but…what is that?! Shit Grace! I don't have the time to think about that right now, what's important right now is for me to save Penelope no matter what!
"Grace?! Hello?! Grace! Are you listening? What is happening right now?", hearing Yuri's voice again brings me out of my thoughts.
"Hey Yuri, we have a bigger problem, get inside right now!" ending the call, I ran towards Penelope and that jerkass. "Penelope!" as I got closer to them, I snatched out Penelope's wrist and put her behind me, as she almost stumbles, losing her balance.
I looked at her and I was shocked. Her complexion became worse. She looks confused about what is happening as she held her head, a little dizzy.
"Are you okay?!"
Seeing my friend's situation. I faced the man responsible for what is happening right now.
"What the hell did you do to her?!" because of my anger, I hold his collar unconsciously. I was raging and this guy is so calm with a smirk plastered on his face. At that time, I didn't care who he was. I was holding myself to not punch that smirk off his face. And instead of explaining himself he just stood there while keeping eye contact with me. The tension between the two of us getting bigger.
"What happened?" Penelope said while still holding her head, as she looks up, she saw us. She immediately stood up and hold my hands which are crunching the collar of this jerkass.
"Grace! What are you doing?! Stop this!" but neither of us moved. As seconds or minutes passed by, I don't how long we were in that position while Penelope is trying to pry us from each other. I suddenly heard Yuri's voice from the distance.
"Grace! Penelope!" as he approaches, he looks so confused but pulled me beside him. He was trying so hard to pull me and after a few tries, he succeeded while I almost fall because of the force he exerted but I didn't mind that I still looked at the jerkass in front of me.
"What is happening here?!" Yuri exclaimed.
And the jerkass finally talked, "Why don't you ask that little friend of yours who ruined my date?".
Ha! This guy, I really want to punch him right now. The fact that he was going to do nasty things here out in the public with Penelope, while Penelope looks so helpless anger me.
"What?! Me?! I just saved my friend from you! You were—", Suddenly Yuri cuts me off and looks at me. And that look is the look he gives when I need to shut up.
"But--", I started again but he warned me again. And I decided to shut up. But why do hell do I need to? When the man in front of is the one at fault who should know his mistake.
CLAUDE'S POV
I know this woman won't let it slide especially that she saw me while my fangs are out, but I don't really need to worry about that. She will be the one who will look like a weirdo, crazy even about telling other people that she saw a vampire.
Heh! This is getting fun.
Suddenly I smell a scent. This scent….This is the scent I smelled on Penelope. Is that coming from this man?! Don't tell me that the guy in front of me is a werewolf?! I've encountered werewolves living with humans and living like humans, but they are rare. I guess we have one here.
This is getting more interesting. I secretly smirked.
After the guy warned this woman, Grace. He looked at me. As he looked at me that's when I confirmed he really is a werewolf. His eyes. Hah. As if I am backing down with a mere werewolf.
"Sir. I would like to deal with this like how civilized people deal with their problems." He said in a slow manner, emphasizing each word while he glares at me. These 3 are really getting on my nerves.
YURI'S POV
This is dangerous. When I heard what Grace said I immediately run back to the restaurant. Not caring about the guards and staff. As I search for them, I've gone through hallways and my last stop is this one hallway. As I approach it I felt a strong presence. As I got closer, I smelled a scent. This scent is…..
Shit.
I ran faster and what I saw before me, scared me. Grace is holding the collar of Penelope's boss and they are having intense eye contact. I pry Grace's hand away from the man in front of us and as I face the man. I confirmed my assumptions.
This man is a vampire.
We need to be careful, so that is why Penelope looks like her life was drained out of her.
Shit. Why didn't I notice the symptoms immediately?
But as I just finished talking Penelope interrupted us.
"Please guys, what the hell is wrong with all of you. I was just having a date. Can't I even have a date peacefully?! I'm so sorry Sir. It's just my friends here a little productive of me. I swear this won't happen again." Penelope said while bowing her head.
"Please let this one pass and forget everything that happened. I'm really sorry. For now, we better leave and just meet each other at the company Sir. I'm really sorry. I hope you forgive us. Come on guys, let's go home." While saying that she pushes us forward while smiling at Claude.
"What?! I'm not letting this one slide." Grace exclaimed while turning around, but Penelope held her. The only problem is, that didn't faze Grace.
She points her index finger to Claude, "I'm not done with you. If I get the chance, I'll come for you and make you learn your lessons. Sir. Especially the part where I saw that. I won't let this slide. Remember that. You weirdo!"
"Stop this Grace. Please. You're embarrassing me. There are already people looking at us." Penelope said as she drags her two best friends outside the restaurant. Struggling but she succeeded.
"Seriously guys?! What the hell were you thinking?! You embarrassed me. This is getting out of line. I know you don't want me to be with my boss but, please let me decide for myself. I'm not a kid!"
"But Penelope we were just trying to help you. That man is only using you. Look at yourself, you look horrible. You are not getting healthy. Please.", Yuri said with concern lacing his voice.
"It is true Penelope. Don't you see what that guy does to you? He is ruining you. Please.", Grace adds.
"STOP! Just stop I don't want to listen to this anymore. If it's like this it's better if we don't talk for a while.", Penelope spat out as tears are threatening to fall from her eyes. This hurt her best friends to see her like this.
As she looks at them one last time, she runs off, getting a taxi and disappearing from the view of her friends. Guilt, sadness, and worried, are the feelings that the two feel right now.
But while they were having a conflict outside. The person left inside the restaurant smirks as he puts his head on his hands.
What a bunch of idiots.
That woman has the nerve to threaten me. She doesn't know who she is fighting with. Well, I can have some fun in this. I've discovered a game I can play and I'm enjoying it.
Fixing his tie and messy attire, smirking, his eyes held a dark look in it as he let the word slip out of his mouth.
"I'll look forward to that meeting, Grace."
