Ever-Changing.

Chapter 5

"That's impossible."

"Well not according to these." I flashed my amber eyes at him, his eyes widen in surprise.

"Oh my, so it seems you are, perhaps we should continue this conversation elsewhere." The way he spoke made it clear I didn't have a choice in the matter. I sighed but nodded, with a swoosh of air we arrived in an apartment that I'm guessing is his. He sat on a couch and motioned me to do the same.

"So how exactly are you both?" He asked getting straight down to business.

"Well my parents had sex." His mouth twitched up in amusement but gave me a glare and I knew he was serious.

"Okay well my mother was a werewolf and my father was a warlock. Naturally a child only gets one of these traits but in my case I got both. I didn't know until an accident occurred and I activated the curse when I was twelve." I explained.

"You've had the curse since you were twelve... how old are you?" His eyes softening.

"I'm twenty-three." I spoke barely above a whisper.

"But does your witch side not help that?" He questioned.

"It has it's affects.." I trailed off become uncomfortable with the subject that holds so many memories. Elijah seemed to get that and changed the subject,

"So why Nevada, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Well I was on my way to visit my mother's hometown, but decided to explore and well I ended up here from Cali." I tried leaving out all the drama I wanted to forget.

"Well assuming you've never been here you mustn't know the good places to eat, come love my treat." As if on que my stomach rumbled, I blushed but nonetheless agreed.

*Skip semi awkward car ride*

When we pulled up to the restaurant I was in complete awe, it was a cute Italian place. Elijah opened my door for me and held out his arm which I allowed him to guide me inside where we were quickly seated.

As out waitress arrived she smiled happily at Elijah but when she saw me her smile dropped and glared at me but covered it with a quick fake smile.

"Omg Elijah! It's been awhile, how nice to see you again!" Her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"It's nice to see you as well Mia." Elijah spoke and that clearly made her even more happy. She giggled and battered her eyelashes,

"So what can i get you to drink?" I was about to speak but Elijah already replied

"Two of your finest white wine please." He said with a smile that took her breathe away, she smiled at him and glared me one last time before walking away. After she left my sight I started laughing, Elijah's confused face made me laugh more.

"Desiree what is so funny?" I couldn't stop laughing for a few moments but I slightly got my self together,

"Omg Elijah! I missed you! How nice to see you!" I said pitching my voice higher,

"She is obviously crushing on you and judging by the glares she gave me I wouldn't be surprised if she spits in my food due to jealousy."

"Nonsense she would not do such a thing." I smirked as she came back carrying our wine.

"Follow my lead and just watch her reactions towards me." I reached across the table and grabbed his hand. As she approached our table she smiled but it dropped once se saw our hands. She looked up and glared at me while I gave her my sweetest smile I could muster up but inside I was dying of laughter.
"Here's your drinks, are y'all ready to order yet?" She asked us but her state was on Elijah.
"Well I'm ready, how about you babe?" He looked at me surprised at what I called him but I glanced up at Mia who was giving me a glare.. Damn if looks to kill. Anyways he understood and smirked,
"You may go first my love." He squeezed my hand. I smiled at looked up at Mia,
"I'll have spaghetti and a side salad please." She had her lips in a straight line and nodded, oooh damn I pissed her off.
"And I'll have the chicken alfredo, thank you Mia." He smiled up at her and she got flustered and nodded, sending me one last look and walked away. I turned and looked at Elijah raising one brow,
"Well what did I tell you?"
He laughed, "It seems as you were right."
"Hey! Don't sound so surprised! I happen to be right about ninety-five percent of the time."
"And the other five?"
"Oh hush. But I was right this time."
"Whatever makes you happy."
"You sir are killing my vibe."
" killing your vibe?"
I face palmed myself,
"You don't.. Oh gosh.. Jus-Just forget it." Obviously still confused he just nodded. Elijah and I made small talk until out food arrived.
"Enjoy your meals." Mia said sharply and walked away.
"Okay.. So might of slightly pissed her off.. uh whoops?" I smiled sheepishly at Elijah. He just laughed and shook his head in agreement.
I looked down at my food and damn did it look good. I started eating waving off Elijah as he laughed at my eagerness. I began to get full and when I reached my limit I slurped up the pasta that was hanging out of my mouth and looked up. Elijah was looking at me with this cute little smile on his face, making eye contact he let out a chuckle. I scrunched up my face in confusion,
"What?"
"You have some sauce on your face."
Quickly I grabbed my napkin and wiped my face as my cheeks turned pink. Elijah laughed and shook his head no. He then leaned over the table and reached over to me,
"Here let me." He wiped the left side of my mouth and smiled,
"There just as beautiful as before."
I flustered even more but being the sarcastic person I am,
"Pshh I was trying out a new lipstick color, I guess it doesn't suit me." I pouted. Elijah laughed with an amusement glint in his eye,
"Desiree, you darling are very different indeed. Fascinating, leaving me wondering on what you'll do next."
I winked at him,
"I guess you'll have to stick around to find out." He smirked at me,
"So it appears so."
