Chapter 9-Day 3           

She knocked into Matt, making them land on the floor. “Baby, what’s the rush? Did you miss me that much?” he chuckled as he hugged her close; then he helped her up. “What did she say?”           

“Matt, there is someone searching for me and he wants to kill me,” Lizzie cried as she rested on his chest, enjoying the safety of his arms around her. “Will you come with me to Johnathan’s?” she asked as she glanced up into his eyes, admiring the silver gleam.           

“Of course, babe. I will do anything for you, princess,” he whispered as he leaned down and pecked her gently. “Ready? It’s dark out now; so I don’t need this stupid cloak anymore,” he told as he twirled her out of his arms and grabbed her hand; then he sprinted out of the palace and down the dark street. Buildings flew by as they ran in union; then they halted under a neon sign. “We’re here, my love. I shall protect you for now and always.”           

She slowly walked into the small restaurant, ignoring the glances from the other customers. She continued up to the bar with Matt on her arm; then she slipped onto a stool and Matt’s arm moved to around her waist. “Matt, people are staring. What if they tell the queen?”           

“Do I care? Let them tell the queen that I’m with the most beautiful girl in the four kinds,” he said before pecking her cheek. “I love you, Lizzie Hutch.”           

Johnathan came over and smiled at the two vampires. “Pretty girl with Matt now. Good, yes?” Johnathan said as he passed them two glasses of blood.           

“You could say that,” Lizzie replied as she held her glass carefully. “Your English is improving, Johnathan.” She sipped her blood, almost choking on it as Matt rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand. “Look, I’m here on business, not pleasure tonight. I need more pills and bottles of blood proto.”           

“Yes girl. Boy need more, yes?” Johnathan asked as he turned from her to Matt.           

“No thanks, Johnathan. I’m good. Just hurry with my lady’s order, will you,” Matt replied quickly as he pushed his empty glass away and leaned over to kiss Lizzie again.           

“Yes, hurry. Girl, yes,” Johnathan mumbled before running off. Matt only had a second to try to kiss her again before he was back with a large paper bag. “Pills, yes. Blood, yes.”           

“Perfect. Thank you,” Lizzie replied as she took the bag and slipped off her seat. She started toward the door; then she glanced back at Matt. “You coming?”           

“Of course, babe,” Matt laughed as he flashed up to her; then they both ran like crazy till they reached her house.           

It was late; so everyone was already fast asleep. Lizzie unlocked the backdoor and they crept into the kitchen. She stashed the blood; then they flew up the stairs and into her bedroom. She threw the pills into a drawer and collapsed on the bed. He looked at her for a second; then he crawled onto the bed with her. He kissed her forehead; then he moved down around the right side of her face and back up the left, leaving a trail of kisses. He next kissed down to the tip of her nose and onto her lips. He pushed against her and she wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed him, feeling their lips mesh repeatedly; then he was gone and she was left clinging to a pillow. “Goodnight Matt,” she whispered to herself as she got up. She slipped out of the dress and into pj’s before her mom peeked in. Her mom smiled before leaving and Lizzie lay down to sleep.
