Chapter 4: Birthday fears

Celeste P.O.V

For the whole day I was with Maria. I can't believe we had sex twice. But I'm even more surprised that she didn't freak out and push me away. I mean I know I lied to her about why I was here, but I couldn't tell her that we were supposed to be together. She'd have though I was our of my mind! Or worse, I can't tell her who killed her family. Maybe I'll bring the subject up over dinner. I look down to see her still curled up to me. We haven't said a word to each other for ten minutes. We were to busy enjoying the moment of just being together. A part of my feels bad for having had sex with her considering she was supposed to marry Zachariah, her parents arrangement. But another part is happy because I could tell that she didn't want to be with him. He may seem nice but he is a total douche. All he wants is her family's money. I get mad just thinking about him. Maybe she won't go through with the marriage. If she feels them same way I feel about her then she won't. I guess we will find out on her seventeenth birthday.

Maria P.O.V

It felt nice to just lay with Celeste all day. But I was extremely nervous about my upcoming birthday. When I turn seventeen I'll know if I really am cursed. This is the moat important birthday because if I stay human then I'll know my aunt was wrong. But if I turn into a vampire, then I'll know she was right. This is also the year I'll know who my true other half is.

For some reason I hope its not Zach. I have a bad feeling about him. I mean he was sweet and all, but he seemed.....fake? I'm not really sure. All I know is I feel threatened by something. Maybe Celeste knows.

"Hey Celeste, can I ask you something?" He looks at me for a moment before saying"of course, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. But ever since we left Zach's yesterday I've felt.... I guess threatened, and I was wondering if...."

"You were wondering if I knew why?" I nodded. "Well, to tell you the truth. Zachariah is just after your money. He marry's girls to get their money and then they end up dead from some tragic 'accident'."

"Why would he do that?!" I ask sitting up, forgetting I have nothing on until I notice Celeste looking at me. I quickly pick up them blanket to cover myself while he chuckles."to answer your question, he's just a gluttonous asshole."

"Oh" is all I say.

I look away as he continues to look at me. I have a feeling he can see through the thin sheets.

"You know I can still see you" he purrs into my ear. Well, my suspicions are correct. I blush and lay back down. He just chuckles at me.

He wraps an arm around me and then whispers in my ear "maybe we should go take a shower" I bite my lip at his suggestion. I look up at him through my lashes and give him the most innocent look I can. Which just makes him laugh. "Please" he whines.

"Okay sheesh" he practically jumps for joy as he picks me up bridal style and carries me into the bathroom. He sets me down to turn the water on and then we get in.

Before I can even grab a wash cloth he's kissing me.

Celeste P.O.V

I was so glad she said yes that I couldn't help but kiss her. I only meant to kiss her for a moment but she surprises me by pulling me closer. We break away for a second which I use to pick her up. She immediately wraps her legs around my waist and we continue kissing. This time rougher than before.

After our 'shower' we went down stairs where Celeste made dinner. "So, what's for dinner?" I ask while jumping on the counter.

"Uhm, I don't know. Maybe chicken.

"

"We had chicken yesterday though." I pout.

He chuckles at me."okay, what about steak? With a baked potatoe?"

"Hmmm, okay. Start cooking Mr.Chef."

"Alright but I need in the cabinet your sitting in front of"

I duck my head while he reaches to get whatever spices he needed. Before he can move away I quickly peck him on the lips. He just chuckles and starts preparing the steak.

After dinner we watched a movie. Or, attempted to watch a movie, Celeste just kept kissing for throughout the whole thing.

"So, your birthday is coming up. Are you excited?"

"No not really."

"Why not?"

"Just something my aunt told my parents about when I was younger."

"Oh. What did she tell them?"

After telling him about what she said he just held me and told me everything was gonna be okay.

After the movie and us talking he carried me up to my room. He started to leave when I grabbed how hand."will you stay in here tonight?" I ask him looking down.

"Of course" he says while crawling over me to the other side of the bed.

"Was walking over there to much work?" I ask.

"Mhm." He replies sleepily.

Without much thinking on my part I curl up next to him. I eventually fall asleep getting the best sleep I've had in a long time.

Celeste P.O.V

When I woke up I was confused as to why I was with Maria. Then I remember her asking me to stay with her last night. I wonder what that was about. I guess I'll have to ask when she wakes up.

"Morning" she mumbles sleepily when she finally wakes up.

"Good morning" I say while giving her a kiss. I had only meant it to be a quick kiss but she immediately let me know she wanted more. She deepened the kiss, while she managed to get on top of me, straddling me. I get her attention when a moan escapes my mouth. She pulls away slowly, biting her bottom lip, and blushing cherry red. "Mmm where you going?" I ask her seductively. She squeals when I roll us over so that I'm on top of her now. I bend down towards her ear and whisper"you didn't answer my question."

"Nowhere" she finally squeaks.

"Mmm, good choice" I purr into her ear. Before she can respond I'm kissing her again. Our tounges battling for dominance, which I win of course. I'm sure things would have gone further if the door bell hadn't of rang. "Ugh" I groan. Getting up I walk downstairs with Maria not to far behind me. I get to the door and I'm surprised at who I see standing there.

!! So who do you think is at the door?? I thought I would peak into Celeste' view of things this chapter. But back to our mystery person, perhaps its a new character ;) I guess we will find out in chapter 5! !!
