Dark Path

Chapter 8

I woke up earlier then usual, my alarm clock didn't even ring yet.
I looked over to the window and I didn't see what I was hoping to see. Lex was gone, I guess he left after I fell asleep or something.

I turned around in my bed to get up and I didn't find my view of my washroom door, more of a sleepy Lex beside me. I stayed where I was and stared at him.

"Good morning" he said opening his eyes slowly. Why was he next me to me and when did he get there? "You're totally thinking I'm a creeper" he said turning his head towards me.

"Close" I said and smiled at his cute reaction. His eyes went wide and he looked like a little boy who just got into trouble.

"I'm sorry" he said with the same cute expression. I turned on my side and cuddled up against his chest. "I'm the creeper?" he asked with more of a sexy deep voice.

"I'm a girl, it's different" I said as I smiled on his chest.

"I guess tonight, I have to take off my shirt" he said . I don't see a problem with that at all, and I mean the fact that he is coming tonight and that he will be shirtless.

"Can I get a sneak peak?" I asked with puppy dog eyes. He smiled and sat on the bed. I sat next to him and he took off his shirt to show me his... oh god. Suddenly I feel like I won't be able to go to school today.

"I feel like this could get rated R" he said looking at me. His chest was very well built and with a few scars, he looked even better.

"Where did you get those scars?" I asked. wasn't he suppose to heal because of his vampire blood? "Why didn't they heal?"

Lex looked down at his scars. he stayed silent as if he wouldn't want to tell me, as if they all had a horrible story.

"It is not important" he said with a dry tone. I looked down, embarrassed and worried at the same time, I guess we weren't close enough or he simply didn't want to speak about it, either way, he would have to tell me or maybe Katya.

"Let's get dressed" he said now pushing me away a little. Damn it, he can be nice one second and the other a total jerk.

I had decided to keep my mouth shut for the rest of the morning, we got dressed and Lex left before I went downstairs. He gave me a little peck on the cheek before he left, some sort of sign of affection at least, after what he had said. I wanted an answer, I wanted to know what was going, what were those scars and why, from whom? All those questions gave me a headache so I stopped wondering and kept going with my day.
