Chapter Fiveteen

Damon's POV

"Hey, could the girls spend another night?" Dakota asked.

"Yes!" Tobias and Tate said at the exact same time.

"Ya, but where are they gonna sleep at? On the couch?" Dimitri asked.

"No, um Fae can sleep in my room..." Tate said "I-I mean if she wants to..." he added.

"Oh, ya! Same with Jasmine.... I-I mean in my room... not Tate's," Tobias said "Yo-you know if she wants too." he added.

Jasmine and Fae looked at each other. After a couple seconds they smiled. They were having a conversation without words. I'm pretty sure they were saying OMG I can not believe this, I'm gonna do it, are you? And by their smiles they both were. Jasmine and Fae returned there gaze to the boys.

"Sure." they said together, trying to play it cool. But I knew they were bursting with excitement.

"Hey could we play on the xbox in your room?" Dakota asked running over to me pleading while she hugged me.

"Ya" I said.

"Come on girls, let's go kick some zombie butt!" Dakota said as she ran upstairs. The other girls followed her upstairs and into my room. She must have seen the whole collection I had of Left For Dead. After they headed upstairs and I heard the door shut, the pent up anger that had been inside of me since I saw the cat in Dakotas hands (a.k.a. Tobias) was released.

"In who's world did you think that it would be ok for you to go transform into a cat and listen into Dakota and the girl's private conversation? I told you to keep a low profile! To change far away from the house! To make sure Dakota didn't find out! What part of that do you not understand Tobias?!" I blew up at him, but keeping my voice low enough so the girls didn't hear.

"They had no idea that I was the cat. No harm, no foul. Hell Dakota thought I was a girl." he said with a little chuckle at the end.

"Oh, shut up Tobias." I said to him. "We need to keep our secret from Dakota." I added now looking around at all of them.

"Do you honestly think you can have a long lasting relationship with Dakota while you never grow old?" Dimitri chimed in.

"Ya, she is gonna find out sooner or later." Tate said.

"While I chose later!" I said now almost too mad to function. I took a couple long deep breaths in. I exhaled and said "This is not something you just go out and tell someone, I need her to trust me before I can tell her, and even then I don't know how she is gonna react." I ran my hand through my hair. "I need something to drink I'll be right back." I said headed towards a the basement door.

"You me someone" Dimitri asked me.

"Screw you!" I said back to him while I gave him a brief dirty look before entering the basement.

I walked down the stairs and around the corner and opened the fridge. I grabbed the first blood bag in sight, opened the top and drank the sweet sweet liquid. Blood. After my third one I was feeling a little bit better.

"Their right you know, you can't hide it forever." Tobias said, leaning against one of the doors that (when this place was used) held prisoners.

"I know, I just... ugggg. I don't know how to expand it. It's like... it's like I need her in my life." I said staring at the blood bag in my hands.

"Ya." he said. I set down the blood bag and finally looked up at him.

"Umm, you kinda got a little something... on your chin." he said wiping on his chin where the blood was on mine.
