Swimming With Fangs

Chapter 48

Good evening, morning and night. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brooklyn~ 

"Stop it!" I laugh and push Tristan's ticklish hands away from my hips, yes... I was ticklish... 

Tristan pulls me back onto the bed and I lay my head on his chest, even if this guy was a vampire, he was warm to the touch. Maybe because it's clouded by my feelings for him? But anyway it is, I'm not bothered, he's my vampire. :) 

"You're really ticklish sweetheart." He nuzzles by my neck. 

I laugh, hugging his arm. "I always have been, and believe me, my sister used to do it to me all the time and I would scream so loud.. that's how I annoyed my next door neighbours." 

He chuckles. "That's a story that has to be heard by Selene." 

"She was the same?" I look at him. 

"She wasn't, but she loved to laugh very...very loudly." He grumbles. 

I laugh and sit up and look out at the rain, I loved the rain... it was somehow so fresh, that after it... I loved to just smell the air and walk about... maybe I'll get Tristan to do the same if he'll agree. It seriously is some damn good fresh air. 

"What are you thinking about darling?" He kisses my forehead and leans off the bed. 

"Oh,... the weather." I smile. 

"Weather? That's something new." He chuckles, and puts on his coat. "Talking about weather... I've got to walk through it." He tisks. 

"I find rain smoothing." I grin, standing up with him. "Are you off to feed?" 

He pauses and turns to me with a sad expression. "I know you must think it as disgusting... sorry." 

"No, really. I'm happy you're not killing to get it, it's so much better right?" I ask, and lean over to kiss him. 

He sighs and pulls me into a smooth, at the same time... tight hug. 

"How am I so damn lucky?" He whispers slightly. 

"Lucky for what exactly?" I raise my brow as I lean apart from the hug. 

"To have you.." He says, looking down at me. "Be careful here okay?" He sneaks a look around the house. "I'll be back soon." 

I smile and nod. "Of course I will.. I have my home-made stake ready for the bad guys." I say. 

He kisses me lightly. "Good, perfect actually." He says and walks out of the door with a wave. 

"Just charming." I laugh at myself and walk off to the bedroom. 

Tristan~ 

I walk along the dark, and lighted streets. Listening around me as laughter and such was about. I didn't want to be feeding at that certain moment, which was a little unusual to me, but that's a good thing... it was all because of Brooklyn, I seriously was so lucky she was mine, on my side even. 

I didn't want to chat up another stupid whore, and don't want to cuddle up with a total stranger that was a woman... so the first time, I laid my eye on a man, a teenager, walking drunkenly down the alley.. This would be totally different from my usual hunts. 

Time to hunt. 

"Hey!" I shout over to him and walk over to him. "Long night?" I fall in step with the guy. 

"Oh you know, the world's spinning... it's glorious." He chuckles, dropping the empty bottle of my thoughts..? Beer. 

"Glorious? That's something... you know what? I can make you even more happy." I say. 

He stops and looks at me. "Sorry man, I'm not gay." 

I laugh and put my arm around him, walking towards the darker part of the alley. "I'm not gay my friend.." I put him against the wall and my sight turns red... "Just your nightmare..." 

And then I fed... 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brooklyn~ 

It must have been around 1am when I heard the door slam and steps leading up to where I was 'sleeping'. I shift and turn to the door and see a shadow, I blink twice and sit up on the bed to try to get a better look. 

"Tristan?"  The shadow becomes clearer and Tristan's sister looks down at me sadly, I frown at her. "Selene? What are you doing here at this time? How..--" 

"Tristan... he's--" 

I gasp. "Where is he!? What happened!?" 

"Nothing huge.. he's just gone through a change in his routine, he's at my house.. do you want to come over? He needed someone to talk to after his... hunt. So I allowed him in." 

"Did he..? Feed?" 

"Yes, but he did it another way.. if that explains some things." She sits down on the bed. 

"Is he alright?" I ask again, already grabbing a sweater from my chair. 

"Oh, he's just peachy." She laughs. "He's always the little brother Brook, he's just changing his routine and he was shocked by it. Come on, I'll drive." 

"I'll meet you downstairs? I'll just get dressed." I nod, getting out of the bed. 

"But, of course." She grins, already out of the door. 

I grab my jeans and pull them on without the usual stretching and walking about (we all do it girls ;)..) Then pull my hair into a messy-bun, it was the fashion choice by far that I've enjoyed... I love messy-buns... I look around the room and grab my keys and phone, putting each in the back of my jean's pockets. 

I run down to Selene and her fancy ass car, god I've always wanted a porsche.. in my dreams, I'll just have to stick with my baby.. (BMW). 

"So, how have you been doing with Drake?" I ask as soon as we're on the road to her place. 

She grins. "Oh.. just super... I'm loving my mated life, as you are as well. Don't think Tristan hasn't told me everything." 

I blush. "Please tell me he hasn't told you about the 'sleeping with you' thing?" I ask shyly. 

"Oh... dear lord... that's not what I've heard.." She faces me quickly. "But when all this new stuff with Tristan subsides... you're telling me about this thing right away..." She says with a cheeky grin. "Thanks for pointing it out." 

I groan. "Should've just stayed quite." 

"No sweetie, you should've yelled." Selene laughs and continues with eyes on the road.
