Morganville Vampires: New Mayor

Chapter 7

Shane's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning with Claire's small head on my chest and could feel her warm steady breath against my skin. I gave a big yawn and tightened my grip on her waist so that their was no air between us and was just letting my mind wander when she woke up. She opened her amazing bright eyes and looked up at me.

"Hey," I said lazily.

"Hey," she giggled back snuggling even closer to me.

"Claire," I said doubtfully.

"Mmm," she muttered.

"You really think I could be mayor?" I asked.

She looked into my eyes. "Yep," she said enthusiastically, "defiantly."

We spent the next few moments gazing into each others eyes trying to read what was behind them.

"Come on," said Claire, "lets make posters."

" y'know," I said holding her tightly so she couldn't wiggle away, "Mike and Eve are out for a reason."

"And what would that be," she replied giggling.

"They were thinking about how neither of us needed to get up this morning and thought we might want to lay in... together," I said in my most seductive voice.

"Now, now, Mr Collins," she giggled, "we've got a campaign to plan!"

"Well that's not going to take all day is it," I reasoned.

"It will if we don't get started soon," she laughed as she rolled out of bed and tugged my arm.

"Fine," I moaned and let her drag me out of the room.
