My Broken Boy (Vampire Romance Fantasy)

Intro

Location: Local restaurant known for drinking coffee in the day and beer at night "Camelos" 

"Iced Caramel Latte for Stella!" The kind barista guy chirped. I made my way towards the counter to claim my drink. "Thank you!" I say back. 

*Iced Caramel Latte w/ soy milk and extra caramel drizzle--The BEST thing I've ever had also fav drink*

As I sat down near a table by the window, I saw the most handsomest, pale-looking, troubled guy walk past the restaurant. In such a small moment, my light brown eyes and his piercing dark blue eyes locked. He looked devastated, though he managed to smile at me. I quickly looked down at the neglected opened book I had and hid my face as I blushed. After a couple minutes of drinking my coffee and reading my book of poems, I received a text from my ex. 

Phone Screen

Ex: hey

Me: *Does not text back and 2 minutes pass by*

Ex: imy

Ex: please answer, I miss you being around, your touch, your smile. I just want to hold you... I know I fucked up. 

I put my phone down and my hands catch my face as I sigh in frustration. My heart began to race.  It's been a week since I put my foot down and started to think selfishly. No, not selfishly. I began a new journey to better my mental health and implement a healthy lifestyle. I had let go of my toxic relationship, I had let go of relationship that was far too gone and that would exceedingly shatter my heart to a billion pieces daily. I grew tired, I was drained. I was in a relationship that had no love since the start. It took me 3 years to leave, but what matters now is that I don't fall again. 

The door chimed as someone dressed in black walked in. It was HIM! 

"oh god" I muttered under my breath. It was the guy that I had made eye contact with earlier today. There was something so different about him that made him stand out from the people in this restaurant. Well, people in general. As soon as he finished ordering, he made his way towards me. I pretended not to look, but I noticed he sat two tables down from me. He pulled out a book and began reading. 

I was interrupted by a vibration on my table, my phone. 

It was a call from Melissa, my best friend and roommate. 

"Hey, what's up?" I answer. 

"BIIITCH, guess who is outside of our apartment?" Mel (nickname) yells through the phone, startling me. 

"Uh. um..." *remembers the text from the ex* "oh no" 

"YEAH OH NO" after a short pause "what do I do Stella?" 

"DONT OPEN IT, I ended this a week ago... I get why he is being so intrusive and persistent but that gives him no right. UGHHHH. Ok I- I will call. And I will figure this out, I am sorry for you having to get caught in the middle. Ok I will let you know what happens. Take care" 

"OK good luck, BYE"

My fingers, my hands just start trembling as I try to press on my ex's name (Alex) to call him. 

I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. 

Wait, but I don't know what he's capable of and I don't want Mel to get involved because of me. 

I press call. 

After one ring, a husky voice answers "Its about time you call, baby" 

I answer "what do you want, Alex?" 

"stop ignoring me, stop playing with my feelings. you know you want to get back together. I miss you so much, please can I just see you? just for one last time?"

"look, I meant what I said to you the last time we spoke. if you understand that, then ill agree with seeing you. but after this time, its for good. Alex, I am serious. You have caused so much pain, be grateful that we're meeting this last time. please come meet me, I am at camelos" 

"Who you there with? Are you with a guy already?" my thoughts: Oh no, this is not good, he is getting pissed off "Did you break up with me for someone else? Did I even mean anything to you?!?! you fucking B-" I cut him off. 

"Before you assume anything, no I am here alone, I was trying to have a peaceful day to myself before you showed up to my apartment" 

"Oh"

"Yeah oh, come on and get over here"

"ok"

As I hang up, some of the nearby tables had heard and made a face. They were all staring at me. Especially that guy. Yeah, Alex I know what you're thinking. ALEX IS TOXIC. Why did I tell him where I was? Why am I letting him meet me? There are some things I want to clarify and be straightforward about, but I don't know if he will let me. 

"Coffee order for Zachary" The mysterious and handsome guy stood up to get his coffee, causing the attention to shift from me to him. He's good looking, every girl had their eyes fixated on him. There seemed a lot going on his mind, too. Just like mine at this very moment. 

SHIT, I thought to myself. is it even okay, that Alex is coming? will he make a scene? 

Oh Alex, where do I begin? Yes, my ex. He is of Polish descent but raised in America. He is 5'11 and look and dresses athletic, and has been with me since the senior year of high school. Why did I leave him? He would lash out at me for the stupidest things, didn't trust me, cheated on me with the girl that I felt insecure about multiple times, hated that I would go out with my friends and when I would invite him he would not go, never wanted to go out with me, just wanted me to stay home with him, and I don't know the love that I thought we had was just never there. He stoped trying to impress me after the one year of our relationship, it was just messy and an effortless relationship. 

"Hey" a low deep seductive voice comes from behind me, interrupting my thoughts. It's him, Zachary. "Im sorry but I overheard your  conversation with whoever that was yelling loudly thru the phone" "oh im sorry" "no, don't be sorry, that's not your fault, but I just wanted to say that I will wait here to make sure your safe after that guy comes and then leaves" 

"oh I don't want you to go through all that trouble" he stops me. His dark blue piercing eyes looking intently into my soul. 

"hey, no I wanna make sure a beautiful and im sure, kind hearted, girl like you is safe, so ill stay." He gives me a wink, and walks back to his table. I smiled at him as soon as he sat down and made eye contact with me. 

oh. my. god. not only did he talk to me but he mentioned im beautiful and then walked away and winked?!? wtf is going on. am I hallucinating? Is this some weird dream?

The door bell chimed, indicating someone just walked in. 

"Hey" I shivered as I knew that exact scary and triggering voice that belonged to this person. 

"Alex"
