Finding and Changing Emily

Chapter 9: Daniel

How could she not understand how much I truly care about her?
"Emily, I don't think you understand. When a vampire finds their mate, they can't let them go. That means that there is like a invisible rope tied between us, bonding us together."
Her hands were on my shirt, touching my back. I burned yet I said nothing because I loved her hands on me. If only she could understand how pretty and amazing she was. How much I wanted to kiss her and tell her how I loved her.
"That makes no sence" she muttered. "I have no hold on you. You can't compare a statue to a single blade of grass and love them both."
There us no way for me to make her understand, unless I told her the truth. Would it scare her? I brushed her hair with my hand then tilted her face up to mine.
"I don't want to scare you but, you still aren't understanding. You are my mate. That means out of every female in the world, you are my perfect other half. My parents, even my siblings have this same bond with their mates. When I found you in the woods, I was just going to take you to the hospital. But when I saw your eyes, it wasn't gravity holding me or my lungs giving me air, it was you."
She looked at me, her eyes filled with wonder.
"How do you know that I'm your mate? There are so many beautiful women in the world, yet you get me?"
I frowned. How was she still not getting this! She was mine and only mine. No other person could make her happy like I could. No one else would feel the way that I did around her.
"Em, that may be, but it doesn't matter to me. You are beautiful. I don't think I have explained this right. I'll have Amanda explain it."
I knew the Amanda would do a better job than me. She could do it in a female way that maybe I couldn't. She would be able to help Emily see that I was for her. She didn't want to be with me now but maybe later? What if she never wanted to be with me? I would lose any chance of happiness. Maybe I should have Javis change her? Then she wouldn't have been able to not feel what I feel. I knew that for a human the pull wasn't strong on then as they wouldn't be able to handle it but, for a vampire, we could handle it. We felt the full waves that called us to our mates. It scared me to think that maybe Emily wouldn't want to be with me like I thought she would. What would my family say? And would I be able to let my sweet Emily marry someone else? Have sex with someone else? Rage at the last thought filled me. No, no man could ever touch her like that! No man but me! Emily let go of me and went into the bathroom. She turned on the shower and I heard her crying, but there was nothing that I could do about it.
I opened the closet to find something for me to wear and found my black jeans and a black shirt. I realized that Emily hardly had any clothes. I would give Amanda my credit card to take her go get some new clothes. Clothes, books, anything she thought she might want or need.
"Emily, I have to go to work now. Amanda is going to take you shopping today. If you don't want me to come here tonight let Amanda know and she'll tell me." I said through the door.
Then I left.
