Hey, sorry I didn't post one yesterday. Here's a really long chapter to make up for it. Enjoy
Chapter 6 I pulled up outside the café and saw Damien sitting inside. He was sat next to the window with his back to me, but he got up and walked right out of the shop to meet me. How did he know I was there? “Hi” I said, getting out of the car. “Wow” He replied, staring at me. Good wow? Bad wow? “You look fantastic” Good wow, he confirmed. “Thanks, so do you” He was wearing jeans a t-shirt. So he looked good. Was he trying to impress me? Not working. But I liked him, he was nice. He didn’t look like a stalker. Maybe I had it all wrong, maybe he was just a protective guy. “Do you want something to eat or drink?” He asked, motioning towards the café. Did I? “I’m not really that hungry, but I do need a drink” Ok… Confession, I was starving but I didn’t like to eat in front of people. Fussy I know but he was a stalker. “Well then let’s go in” We sat down at a table and ordered two milkshakes, chocolate, I drank it quickly “Let’s get a few things straight. We will talk outside” We walked outside, why didn’t I have a coat? “I’m not a stalker, I promise you that. I am only here to protect you, not to hurt you. Are you clear on that?” I nodded. Great, he’s not a stalker. I was starting to like this guy. “Protect me from what?” I asked. “I’ll talk about that later. First we need to talk about you” Damien said, politely. What? Blush alert. Why me? “Me?” “Yeah. I wanna know about you” Why? “Don’t you know enough” I moaned, I didn’t want to talk about me. Especially to this guy, he was sweet and he was protecting me from god knows what. “Nope” He shook his head and smiled. “But I want to know about you” Please, talk about yourself. “Why?” He asked. “Well if you try to kill me and I survive then I know what to say to the police” I giggled. “I thought I told you th-”He was annoyed, so I cut him off. “I’m joking” I laughed. “Good” “So I wanna know about you” I said, now you will talk. Haha. “That’s just going to have to wait” I giggled again, but I was annoyed. “Why do you wanna know about me?” I moaned. I’m not telling you anything. “Because your sweet and I’m protecting you” Sweet? I’m giving in. “Ok. What do you want to know?” I asked. Damien gave a loud ‘hmmm’ noise. “Favourite movie? Apart from phantom of the opera” How? “How did you know?” “Don’t ask” What? “Emmm… I guess it would be twilight” Damien smiled. “Best friends?” He asked. “One called Jessica” I replied. Next question? “Boyfriends?” Oh no. I hesitated. “None” He raised his eyebrows. What? Was having no boyfriends bad now? Wait… Why was he even asking? “A pretty girl like you hasn’t had a boyfriend?” Pretty? Was he on drugs? “Emmmm… No” I said. “Oh. You should have. I thought I was crossing the line this morning by coming to close to you” He sighed. “Oh, I didn’t mind” I lied. He raised his eyebrows again and I giggled. “So you didn’t mind me nearly kissing you early this morning?” Just say no, he’s cute and you liked it. My brain was right. “No” I lied again. “Can I do that again?” His question took me by surprise. Why? Why would you want to do that? Damien’s eyes sparkled. “Emmm… yeah” I smiled and blushed. “Stay still” He whispered, I didn’t move until he kissed me. His lips were soft and his kiss was anything but desperate. Ok… So now I know for definite that he’s not obsessed with me, what do I do now? I mean he wouldn’t want to be my boyfriend, would he? I was stunned by his passionate kiss. He smiled into my lips and I broke off. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you un-happy” Yep he’s on drugs. First he calls me pretty then he thinks I’m un-happy. “No. I was happy. I-” He smiled and put a finger on my lips to stop me. “Do you want to go to the beach?” Damien asked me, his lips still close to mine. I nodded “So Mr Damien, what’s your last name?” What the hell did I just say? He laughed. “Wouldn’t you like to know” He laughed. Was it something rude? Did I want to know? “Yeah, I would actually” I stated. “Carter” That’s not a bad name. It suits him. Damien Carter. Damien Carter. Damien Carter. Mr Damien Carter. I smiled. What would my name sound like with Carter? Christine Carter. Mrs Christine Carter. Mr and Mrs Carter. If this was a diary I’d sound like a little girl. “Beautiful” I laughed. “Thank you and you Miss Christine, what is your last name?” He had to ask. “Howl” Ughhh my name was so plain. I’d have to solve the problem by marrying Damien. I’m so glad I didn’t say that out loud. “Lovely” He said. “Thanks” We got to the beach and Damien pulled me down next to him on the sand. I giggled. Damien and I rested our heads on the sand. “Cute laugh” I blushed. Awww he’s sweet. Do what you came here to do Christine! Don’t get distracted! I know he’s sweet and cute and kind, but you need to stop liking him, he will never like you! Gosh my brain was harsh. “Who are you protecting me from? And why me?” I asked, annoyed. “Long story. Cant it wait?” Hell no. “No it can’t” I said. “Alright… First off let me ask one question. Do you believe in vampires?” What? “I guess” “This could be easy then. Shall I say it plainly or should I beat around the bush for a while” Damien asked. Who asks that? “Plainly would be helpful, thanks” I said. He propped himself up on his elbows. “Ok then… I’m a vampire and I’m trying to protect you from other vampires” I laughed. Was he for real? “You expect me to believe that” I laughed again. “Yes” Haha. “Prove it” Damien lifted his top lip and fangs shot out. Wow. Shock. Stop laughing. “Oh god” I whispered. You shouldn’t have laughed, now your dead meat. My brain screamed and my lip quivered. “Believe me?” Don’t kill me, please. “You won’t kill me will you?” I said, shaking. “What? No” He said. See never believe your brain, trust your heart. “Then I believe you. Is that why you have red eyes?” I asked, genuinely interested. That answers my ‘Was he for real?’ question. “You can see them?” Huh? “Yeah, I mean they are pretty hard to miss” I laughed. “Humans can’t see them. Usually” Damien announced. What? “Is that why Jessica didn’t notice them?” I asked. “Yeah” Awkward… “So what am I? Like some strange human that’s got a 6th sense” I laughed “I’m guessing so” He replied, oh… “Awesome. So what else can you do?” “Bite, kill, protect” “So you can’t read minds or see the future?” I asked. “Nope” “And you don’t sparkle in the sun?” “I can tell you like twilight. No I don’t sparkle. In fact I can blend in pretty well. I even sleep. But I do live for a long time” Now I feel stupid. “How long?” How long do I have to live to be with you? I wanted to ask. “Forever” That’s a little longer than I think I can live. “Oh” Big oh. “Yeah” “So why me?” “Your addictive and in danger” Strange combination. And addictive? “Addictive?” What? Seriously. “Yeah. It’s like a love at first sight thing. I’ve not been able to keep my eyes off of you since the first time I saw you” I smiled “Cute” This is your moment to kiss him, do it. “So… Do you like me?” What? Talk about being direct. “Sorry that was-” “Yes” He liked me. No way “Yes, I like you” Blush time. My cheeks were the pinkest of pink. Tell him you like him “Do you like me?” No way to get out of this. I stared at the floor and then he lifted my head. “Yes” I whispered while staring into his beautiful eyes. He pulled my face closer to his and suddenly his lips were on mine. I couldn’t breathe though his passionate kiss, but I didn’t care. I didn’t care if I died after this moment, I just wanted this, him. My arms became wrapped around Damien’s neck and my fingers tangled in his hair. His hands grabbed my waist and he kneeled over my body until my happiness broke our kiss, I was smiling and laughing. “What?” He asked “Did I do something wrong?” “No. I’m just-” “Happy?” “Yes. Extremely” I laughed “Good” Damien went back to kissing me…
