Haven't posted in a few days so figured I better write something quick before you all get bored of reading the same stuff so.. here's a new teaser, introducing the 3rd critical character, Luc. (My best friend would kill me if I didn't also say that she already has dibs on him so, sorry ladies. He's apparently taken already.)
Chapter 12:
“My birthday isn’t for another week and a half! What are you going to do? Stalk me?” I huff.
“If I need to, yes. If you get hurt or die, then so do I, so it’s in both of our best interests to make this as painless as possible.” Luc stops to look around. “You don’t snore, do you?”
I jump up from the bed in disbelief. “What?! You mean, you plan on staying here? With me?”
“How am I supposed to protect you at my house?” he counters. “Wait, where are you going?”
“To talk to my mother!” I roar as I stomp towards the door.
“She was there, remember? She’s the one who brought me over here,” he taunts.
“But that’s—This isn’t—” I sputter.
“What, fair?” he asks as I spin around. “No, by all means, don’t stop throwing your tantrum on my account. You’re cute when you’re angry,” he says as I stand there, unmoving.
I think about stamping my foot in frustration but don’t want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me act like a five year old, so instead I walk back over to the bed and sit as calmly as I can. “Fine.” I pinch the bridge of my nose in frustration.
“What side of the bed do you want?” he asks with a waggle of his eyebrows.
“You are not sleeping in bed with me. If you’re going to stay here you can sleep on the floor,” I reply with a wicked smile.
“Well you’re no fun. I don’t know what my brother sees in you,” he pouts as he climbs to his feet.
“Nice try but somehow I doubt sleeping with me is part of your ‘job description’,” I quip, making air quotes with my hands.
“Just think of it as an added bonus,” he replies with a wink. I shake my head in disapproval as I walk over to the closet to get a pillow and some blankets out for him. I turn and toss them to him quickly in the hopes of surprising him but, much to my dismay, he easily catches them and laughs at me. “I’m Immortal, remember?” he teases. “You’re going to have to try harder than that if you want to catch me off guard.”
“Just make yourself comfortable- on the floor- while I go change,” I say, grabbing a pair of comfy sleep pants and a tank top. Thinking twice, I grab a modest long sleeved T-shirt as well to cover up with and head to the bathroom.
“Yeah, yeah,” he replies. “But, just so you know, I sleep in the nude.” I shut the bathroom door quickly but not before I hear the sound of his pants hitting the floor.
