You Found Me

Chapter 6

"I won't agree to it, Godric, the end of discussion."

Godric perseverance was quite remarkable; he kept pushing the idea of me being under his and Eric protection. His main point being that if something happened to him that Eric could protect me if necessary. The last hour of arguing with Godric wasn't something I wanted to do with my time with him. However, I could picture many ideas of what I would like to do with him in my free time. Good thing vampires can't read minds.

Eric in-tune with our conversation, observing us while watching the news sprawled out on the couch. Lost in my daydream of kissing Godric, I eventually sank back to reality.

"Lyssa, it would be for your protection. Why does the idea make you feel uncomfortable?"

"I'm not property so don't treat me like it."

"I apologize, Lyssa, I never intended to make you feel that way. Trust me, I understand how it feels, but that won't make me change my mind." A desolated expression flashed across his face for mere seconds before fading.

I cracked, seeing Godric upset made my heart tighten painfully in my chest. Dammit, I wasn't going to win this one.

Trust him.

"I guess that I can put aside my pride if you are that concerned," Mumbling the words between my teeth, his eyes lit up relieved.

"Finally, now that foolishness is settled, what plans do the night do you have Godric?" Eric impatiently tapped his foot, itching for something exciting to do.

What does Eric do in his free time that he considers fun, torturing other vampires and fucking a numerous amount of women? I fully doubt that he has any healthy hobbies.

"I am not quite sure. Lyssa, what do teenagers these days do in their free time?" Godric asked, crossing his arms expectantly.

"Go to the movies maybe," I replied scrunching my nose in thought, "Bowling, any cheap activity really."

Eric's disdain evident across his features, unlike Godric who smiled softly at the idea.

"Do you care to join us, my child?"

"No, thanks, but you two kids have fun." He sent a playful wink before departing.

Godric insisted that he knew of a bowling alley a few blocks away from Fangtasia. Arriving, the place overflowing with people, remembering it was a Friday night explained why. Getting the last lane at the very end, giddy with excitement, I hadn't been bowling for what seemed like an eternity. I used to go every chance I could with Olivia. She would get a near perfect score while I was lucky to get above thirty.

God, I suck at bowling.

Somehow, Godric rocked his bowling shoes, looking beyond sexy with his jeans and white t-shirt to match.

"Ladies first," He insisted handing me my purple bowling ball, his finger ghosting over mine.

Palms sweaty, anxiety crawled underneath my skin, Godric taken a seat to watch me. I didn't want to make a fool out of myself in front of him. Pulling my arm back, the ball went halfway to the pins before tumbling into the gutter. My next turn went similarly.

"Is the goal not to hit the pins?" His questioned curiously.

Chuckling, I shook my head, no, sitting next to him.

Godric sauntered up, copying the position that I was in, he let the ball roll towards the pins. One pin was nicked and tumbled to the ground. Godric's grin stretched from ear to ear, a playful look in his eyes. Striding cockily back to me, he crossed his arms, pride rolled off him in waves.
