Unexpected Actress and... Vampire Bride?

3 - Cow Shaped Melon

Echo’s P.O.V

After I talked to Miss Erna or the second time I went back to painting. I looked to my right to dip my brush in my paint and jumped in surprise to see Vladimir laid out next to me. I place a hand over my thumping heart.

“Jesus Vladimir! You scared the absolute crap out of me!” I exclaim nudging him with my elbow, as I hit him numbing sparks leaped up my arm. I quickly retracted my arm and tucked my hair behind my ear before turning towards my painting. I’m just dong the touch ups now so I cant hide from him forever.

I look at my painting carefully to see if I need to do anything else to it, it was a black tree with a red sky. I looked towards Vladimir to see him staring at me with an intense expression on his face. I cough under my breath to make him get out of his sort of daze. He shook his head slightly and turned to look at me.

“Yes?” His voice thick with emotion and his sexy accent, I couldn’t help the shiver that ran down my spine. Vladimir seemed to preen at my shiver strange man.

“Do you think that I should add anything else to my picture?” I bit my bottom lip as I look down at it narrowing my eyes at it to see if it has anything I need to do.

My breath hitches as I feel Vladimir lean over me to look at my picture, his breath fluttering on my shoulder like a butterflies wings.

“No, I think it’s beautiful.” He whispers huskily in my ear. I let out a shuddering breath at I begin to back away my painting equipment. I sit up and grab my bag. Vladimir pulls me onto his lap and whispers in my ear again “Let me do that.” And then he begins to grabs my stuff his arms out-stretched, effectively caging me in his arms. I didn’t know what to do so I just leant back, I held in a sigh as I felt his abs underneath his shirt.

He let out a breathy laugh as the top of my hair tickled his chin; after he cleaned up all my stuff he wrapped his arms around my waist. I was still leaned into him but as I thought about something I couldn’t help but frown.

“What’s up scumpa mea?” He asked.

“Well, I’m acting like a whore; cuddling up to a random guy I met about a hour ago. Although I guess your not a complete stranger ‘cause I’ve seen you before, just in a film. Oh god! Stay away from me! You might catch my horrible prossy ways!” I started to squirm and fight to try and get out of his arms and off his lap.

He then started to laugh, the arsehole actually laughs at the fact that I had turned into a whore. I turn around in his lap and start beating against his chest; unfortunately I get too tired and rest my head on his shoulder panting from all the punching I did. He just sat through all that punching and then began to rub my back. What sort of guy does that to the whore who was beating him up not even one minute later?

He then lets out one more chuckle before lifting my head up “you are not a whore prințesă, in fact you are the least whoriest person I have ever met! And it doesn’t matter to me that you’re cuddling up to me because to be honest, I like you, I like you a lot!” He exclaims while holding my face in his large rough hands.

I feel my cheeks fill with blush and couldn’t help but look towards the floor. I looked anywhere else apart from his intense gaze and I chew on my bottom lip nervously. No boy other from Jinx has ever talked to me without being mean and he hasn’t ever spoke to me like this, no one has ever spoke to me like this I don’t know how to respond to it.

He gently pulls my lip out from under my teeth and uses his thumb to brush against the bottom lip, he stares unflinchingly at my lips as I sit on his lap awkwardly, he then shakes himself out of his stupor and smirks at my awkward face.
