Monster ~a.b

twelve

After the makeout session we finally left to have a cigarette. Austin sat behind me, I was between his legs. It was quiet outside. Like the world fell asleep around us. He brought the cigarette down between my lips, letting me inhale.

"You okay"? He asked.

I hummed lightly, letting the alcohol go through me. I could fall asleep with the way he was rubbing my arm.

"So tell me Mr. Butler. How did you become the big man on campus"? I giggled, getting a chuckle from him.

"My dad I guess". He spoke. "When my mom passed i moved here, he wanted us to live our lives but with money so we took the opportunity". He added.

I leaned against his thigh and cleared my throat.

"I'm a teacher". I giggled again, this time his hands rubbed my shoulders.

"That's stressful. How do you do it"? He asked, his lips at my ear.

"It keeps food on the table. It's just something I love to do. Brings me joy". I sighed.

I got up and stood in front of him, letting his hands wrap around me.

"This may seem weird but I dont want this to end". I smiled.

He stiffened up a bit but stood up with me, holding my hands behind his back.

"And whys that princess"?

I leaned into his chest, lightly pecking the shirt. "Because I feel safe".

We both stayed quiet. I knew tomorrow I'd wake up feeling the same as I've always been. Only having tonight become a memory.

"Let's go back. I dont want Katie to worry about you".

I nodded, letting him take the lead as we walked back to the room. Inside the music was off, both Katie and Troy passed out on the couch together.

"Ah, their cuddling". I pointed as Austin walked me out and to my room. He used the key card, opened it up and walked us in.

"Let's get you to bed princess". He spoke softly. Once inside my room he helped me to the bed.

"Why do you c-call me princesses"? The hiccups began.

"Theres only one of you princess". He corrected. "And because. You're a princess". He smiled.

"I wanna be a queen". I slurred, now it was hitting me.

Austin playfully rolled his eyes as he chuckled, taking my shoes off of my feet. He helped me lay down as he caressed my cheek.

"Goodnight princess". And with that he placed his lips to mine. When he pulled away I rolled over and finally let sleep take me.

My eyes shot open and I gasped. It was still dark in my room and I didnt know what time it was. I leaned over to see a glass of water and my phone plugged in, but it was off. When I turned it on the bright light it made me squint. The time was only 4 am. I couldnt believe I was up this early.  I threw my legs over the bed and walked to the kitchen area, putting colder water in my glass. From the distance I heard men talking. It must have been coming from the hall. I let my instincts take over to creep out the situation. I opened the door just a bit and poked my head out. That's when the talking got clear.

"I dont care. You had one job but you decided to come on vacation. What will Des think when the job doesnt get completed. It's our asses Aus".

Aus, as in Austin? Like the guy we have with our group for vacation?

"Dont you think i know that. I have it all planned out. I'm waiting for it to happen". That's when I heard him.

"Your losing the concept here Butler That's thirty million dollars you're throwing away. You and Mike need to step up".

Wait now Mike's involved?

I leaned against the wall, listening to everything. What the hell was Austin hiding? Is he in trouble? Most importantly, is Mike?

"We stepped up enough. I told you and everyone else this was my vacation. You cant come here out of the blue. People will talk and I'm not about to stick up for you dumbass. Leave now, I'll see you back home".

"Your gonna lose it. You didnt prepare yourself for this. You know I'm only looking out for you". The guys spoke.

"I can look after myself, I'm completely understand control. A drop a day". And with that a door slammed.

I must still be drunk to hear all of that. Austin was hiding something from all of us. Fuck, Mike to. I slowly shut the door and locked it. I wasnt in the mood for someone to find me easdropping. I walked back to bed, bringing the blanket over my head. Tomorrow morning would be our last day in Miami and I wasnt about to ruin it over complicated things like Austin's baggage. I walked back over to my bed and curled myself under the blankets. I was to tired to deal with any of it. I shut my eyes, waiting for sleep to take me back.

"Fuck". I groaned. I had to pee.

I got up again and walked to the bathroom. I did my business and washed my hands. I glanced up at myself and gasped loudly. On my neck sat small red marks, teeth marks. I used my finger to trace it, just picturing his lips there. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath trying to calm myself down. There was no need to be like this. Then I remembered what Austin told me to do for these. I ran out to the kitchen and grabbed one of the spoons off the tray, placing it into the fridge. How long did I actually have to wait for it? I walked back to the bed and covered up again and instantly passing out, I guess I grab the spoons tomorrow morning.

"Niall she is completely safe. I havent done anything. The deal is still on, we will sell the guns. Nobody but Mike knows a damn thing." I hissed outside of my hotel room.

Nialls eyes were dark, he needed blood. He stiffened his body and looked at me. "Shes awake". Niall thought.

I nodded slowly.

"Your gonna lose it. You didnt prepare yourself for this. You know I'm only looking out for you". The Niall spoke and poked my chest.

"I can look after myself, I'm completely understand control. A drop a day". And with that a door slammed.

I paced around my room, groaning. I knew my father didnt trust me. I sat down, trying to listen to her. Suddenly her thoughts were there. She was looking at her bite marks. I may have lost a bit of control. A love bite to a vampire is a opening act before the real thing. I pulled the blood to the surface of his skin. I grabbed my cigarettes off the table and sat by the window. As I lit it up, I blew the smoke so close to my face to get rid of her smell but nothing was working. I quickly put the smoke out and walked to my bag, opening the blood bottle and giving myself three drops. I took a deep breath and laid there until morning.
