''I'm so sorry, I was just leaving", I said standing straight trying to stagger past him
''It's ok, just tell me where you're off to. I'll help cause you seem too drunk to stand on your own feet'' he said taking hold of my arm
''Are you sure?'' I asked with a drawl
''I'm really sure'' he said looking down at me with eyes that didn't let me look away
''Are you ok? It's creepy...the way you're staring'' he said smiling
''Yeah, I am. It's just that you don't know me, what if I'm someone who wants to kill you?'' I asked secretly hoping he doesn't leave me
''Well, I guess I'd have to die'' he said moving me away from the dance floor.
''Are you sure that was the right thing to say?'' I asked but I could feel my eyelids getting heavy and I guessed he noticed it too.
''Yes it was. Now where do I take you?'' He asked me
''To my room'' I said hoping he got my gestures but he didn't seem to. Maybe it's for the best, cause it's probably the drink talking.
''Where is it?'' he asked.
''Upstairs'' I said gloomily
''You live here?'' he asked and I could see just a glimpse of shock on his face
''Here, let me show you'' I said and giggled. "Follow me", I say running away from him, my drowsiness escaping me.
''Wait up!'' I heard him shout from behind me and then I shouted,
''Keep up!'' and then ran up the spiral staircase and I heard his feet pound in rhythm behind me so I waited for him at the top of the stairs.
''I'm tired'' I moaned when he reached the top of the staircase.
''I bet I'm as tired as you are after you made me run up those stairs. I don't understand how you could have done that drunk though'' he said peering at me as if my face and body held the answers he was looking for.
I felt my feet get lifted off the ground as my body bounced a little and I almost screamed in shock as my face almost collided with his...he was carrying me.
''What? You said you were tired'' he said giving me puppy eyes which looked really cute on him.
''I didn't mean you should carry me'' I complained
''Should I put you down?'' he asked making me frown and then he smiled with all his pearly whites.
''No'' I said softly and then looked away.
''I can tell that you're feeling sleepy so can you tell me the directions to your room so I don't get lost if you fall asleep?'' he asked me
''Oh, of course. Just walk straight till you get to this L-shaped staircase. When you go up, its the second door on the right and my key is under the mat.'' I said and I hoped he understood what I just said because the drink was really getting to me.
''Are you ok?'' he asked me with concern on his face
''Yeah, it's just that...'' I started but I was engulfed by darkness as I felt my head come in contact with his chest

Jacob's P.O.V
Her angelic face looked even more angelic when she slept, I thought. Her long natural eyelashes made her look alluring in contrast to her cheeks that gave her a look of childishness. I wished her eyes were open to reveal the hazel eyes that could make you do anything for her. Why was I thinking like this? You just met her, so just get her safely to her bed and come back out...besides, I didn't even catch her name, so it will be easier to forget I even met her, I thought as I climbed the L-shaped stairs.
She was a vampire, I couldn't mingle with her kind. Maybe, one day when things were ok, we could happen but I doubt it. She seems beautiful enough to have a line of suitors, so the chances she would notice me were low.
I walked down the hallways carrying her in my arms and had to awkwardly balance her as I got the key from under the mat. I reached under the mat as her arm fell on my head creating an awkward moment as it brought my face closer to her bosoms but I quickly retrieved the key so I didn't enter any more awkward situations.
I unlocked her door and opened it expecting to get a really girly vibe coming out of it but I didn't get that. The room had a very modern and standard look. It had a white desk, black chair, black bed, white mattress and bedsheet, and a black and white bookcase with white walls. Flowers decorated the room giving necessary splashes of color but not too much. I admired her style as I put her on the bed. I moved the hair away from her eyes and admired her beauty for a bit before removing her heels.
I pondered on whether or not to give her a change of clothes so I decided to help her with it as it would be very uncomfortable to sleep in what she was wearing. I walked over to her wardrobe and discovered she was quite the shopper as I went through fashion nova, Chanel, Versace, and others like that as I searched for her pajamas.
I finally found a Chanel nightdress and left it at the edge of her bed as I removed her two-piece set. She was wearing black lace underwear lingerie which I tried to ignore that was complimenting her toned curvy body. I helped her put on her nightgown even if it was weird and hard because she was asleep.
I stood up from her bed and tucked her in so she wouldn't get cold, then I left a glass of water and some aspirin for the headache she would have in the morning before I left the room carefully and silently so as not to wake her up but secretly hoping our paths would cross paths again...hopefully as friends.

Shanon's P.O.V
The pounding headache didn't spare me as I sat up on my bed. The blinds were open but luckily I found some Aspirin and a glass of water on my bedside table which I took quickly.
I spent a while wondering about who had left it there and then I remembered the guy I had met yesterday but stupid, drunk me had forgotten to ask his name.
"Oh My Gosh, he saw me naked!" I screamed as I realized I was in my nighties and then I also realized I screamed out loud as Maia barged into my room
''I heard you scream'' she says worriedly as she looked at me closely as if examining me
''Oh, that. Good morning anyway. I just saw a rat that freaked me out but it's no cause for alarm'' I lied
''Are you sure? But why would a vampire be scared of rats and I also heard you scream oh my gosh, he saw me naked'' she said in disbelief
''Of course, I screamed that. That song was on repeat yesterday and it's stuck in my head'' I said lying again. Goodness, when did I start lying like this?
''But I didn't hear that song yesterday'' she insisted. God, she had so many replies.
''That's because you were talking and giggling with a special someone last night'' I said trying to change the subject.
''You saw us?'' she said softly, sitting on my bed.
''Yeah, I mean it wasn't obvious but I saw you guys'' I said trying to make sure I didn't worry her since she seemed to want to keep the relationship secret.
''Are you sure it wasn't obvious?'' she asked looking at me pleadingly
''I am ninety-nine point nine percent sure, so I'm sure that I'm very sure'' I said giving her a comforting smile and she smiled back.
''We should start getting ready. We have afternoon classes and we should stop at the house first'' I said
''Yeah, you're right'' she said and stood up to leave but then I remembered something and asked,
''Are you with the blood bottle that dad made?''
''Yeah, of course,'' she said and then left the room, leaving me to get ready.
I had my bath then put on my white lace lingerie set with white leather jeans with side zips and a white cotton t-shirt with a black leather jacket. I looked at myself in the mirror after I had put on my black boots and decided that it was the right outfit for a motorbike ride.
I put my hair up in a rough ponytail and wore a black stud earring, a swiss watch, and a moon choker necklace on a black cord. I decided not to wear any makeup since I still looked pretty without it and there wasn't a lot of difference between me with makeup on and me without the makeup on and I grabbed my bag of necessary clothes and similar things and put my handbag with my phone and charger in it and then I left and locked my bedroom.
I guessed my dad was still asleep so I decided not to disturb him but as I passed his room I couldn't help but overhear a conversation between him and someone else
''Can't you find her? It can't be that hard'' I heard my dad say
''But sir, she has been missing for nearly eighteen years. It's hard to find someone who seems to be in hiding and doesn't want to be found''
''Find her and don't come back here until you do!'' I heard him shout as he broke something that sounded like glass but I couldn't hear the rest of the conversation as I was interrupted by Maia
''What are you doing?'' she asked looking at me confused
''I just overheard a conversation that makes me think that my dad is still searching for my mum'' I said still processing the situation as I walked down the stairs.
''Well, it won't be surprising since your mum never died. She only disappeared'' Maia said as she came down behind me
''But I don't think she'll be found, she doesn't seem to want that to happen,'' I said feeling like someone had hit my heart with a hammer as I said that
''Well, it keeps your dad sane Shanon. Looking for her helps him cope because he is still in love with her,'' she said and I could hear the sympathy in her voice but I ignored it as we walked outside towards the garden as Damien brought our bikes.
''I guess you guys are leaving again?'' Damien said and I knew that question was meant for Maia so I left them and went to get my bike ready just as I heard her reply,
''Yeah, unfortunately. I wish we didn't have to go''
I stalled a bit hoping that Maia would be done by then but she just got deeper into her conversation with Matt and now she even had her hand on his shoulder and she was laughing. I even got Maia's bike ready and she was still not done. I wore my helmet and decided to wait for five minutes and they were still talking...how annoying is that?
I couldn't wait anymore so I blasted my horn, which worked in summoning Maia, as she tied up her goodbyes with a hug and a quick kiss after looking around for people who may have been watching before coming towards me with a glare that said I had ruined quality romance which I replied to with,
''What? You were taking too long'' and then she put on her helmet and sat on her bike.
''Are you ready?'' I asked, making sure
''Yeah'' she replied and nodded as we switched on our engines
''OK, let's go!'' I shouted over the revving of the engine and we rode off.
