Morganville Vampires: New Mayor

Chapter 6

Claire's P.O.V.

I ran up the stairs and knocked on Shane's door.

"Go away," came the muffled voice from inside.

I opened the door and walked inside, locking it behind me.

"It was a stupid idea anyway," he said,"I shouldn't have even mentioned it."

"Don't be stupid," I said climbing into the bed next to him and putting both arms around his neck as he turned to face me. I looked into his eyes and said, "it wasn't a stupid idea at all you would make a great mayor if you put your mind to it."

"The others don't think so," he said dejectedly.

"So what, it's not their opinion that counts." I replied.

"But it is Amalie's and the amount of times that I have been in a cage in the middle of 'The Founders Square' isn't exactly going to work in my favour, is it." He muttered miserably.

"So then," I said merrily snuggling into his warm strong chest and looking up at him, "the two of us will just have to show her that you will be the best mayor Morganville has ever had, won't we!"

"You'll seriously help me?" He asked.

"Of course I will, I will always be there to help you when you need me."

"Claire," he whispered softly in my ear.

"Mmm," I replied sleepily as he pulled me closer.

"I love you," he said.

I looked up into his eyes and said, "I love you too." Before resting my head on his chest and falling asleep with his heart beating softly in my ear. I subconsciously wondered if Eve ever missed that.
