The Gambler

The prince

I clenched the arm rest and shut my eyes tight as the plane began to take off. This was some scary shit.

I gritted my teeth and took deep breaths when I felt the force pushing me back into my chair, peeking out the window I saw the ground moving further away.
"Oh my god" I muttered to myself in fear and Grayson chuckled beside me, placing a hand over mine he stroked my hand gently.

"You're safe. Stop it" he laughed slightly as he spoke and I shot him a quick glare.

"This plane crashes and we all die. Even you Mr vampire" I hissed back at him lowly and he just grinned back, shaking his head.

I didn't calm down for another half an hour until turbulence was over with and it was smooth sailing. I sighed in relief and finally opened my eyes fully to get a good look at what first class seating was. I hummed quietly to myself and Grayson laughed again.
He leaned over and kissed my cheek, running his lips to my ear he let out a cool sigh and I tensed up. Oh why am I turned on by that.
I felt his grin against my ear

"I adore you" he muttered against me and I nodded, feeling nervous suddenly.
I looked over at him shyly and he touched our noses together sweetly causing me to blush even redder.
"I adore you as well" I muttered back and he kissed me slowly, making me sigh in happiness.
When we broke apart I noticed that weird boy from before look over at us, he had a strange look on his face. I quickly looked away and turned my direction toward the window. Something was definitely off about him.

•*•*•

I was jumping up and down excitedly as Grayson watched me intently.
"We're here!" I squealed as we got off the plane.

"That we are" he chuckled and grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers.
We walked to the exit.. well more like I pulled him along as I practically ran.

"Elizabeth pause" he suddenly stopped and pulled me into him.

"Yes?" I looked up at him and he pointed to the bathrooms.

"We have a long car ride. Go before the ride" he spoke to me like a kid and I couldn't help but giggle, nodding.

I ran into the bathroom quickly and went, fixing my hair up when I got done. I walked out and looked around for Grayson but he wasn't there. I walked a few feet away and leaned up against the wall.

"Hello Elizabeth"
I spun around and saw the guy from before, jack, staring at me.

I looked around for Grayson and saw him walking towards me from the map site. He was staring intensely at Jack.

"Hello Jack" I muttered back and Grayson seemed to quicken his pace, going quick enough to not seem too fast.
"It's a pleasure to see you again" he spoke seductively and I swallowed hard. My mouth was suddenly dry and I couldn't speak.

"My boyfriend" I mumbled and pointed to Grayson as he walked up to us, smiling cautiously.

"Elizabeth, come. We have to get to the hotel" he stared at Jack with a weird expression looking very confused.
Jack smiled brightly at him and clapped his hands together.

"A hotel? No no no come stay with me you two!" He exclaimed so loud I flinched at the excitement in his voice.
What the? Why would a complete stranger invite us to stay with him?..

Grayson shifted uncomfortably on his feet, looking bewildered. I have never seen him so confused.

"I-" Grayson started but was cut off by Jack smacking his shoulder in that guy way that they do.

"Nonsense nonsense. Come stay with me! It's so great to see you again Grayson!" Jacks eyes shone bright with power.

Again!? They met before!? Who was this guy..
Grayson nodded slowly, his eyes were focused on me.
