The vampires tutor

Lesson 19.

MACKENZIE'S POV

As I lay next to Gage, I feel his hand around me and I move into him slightly to get more comfortable, making him tighten his hold on me.

Memories flooding my head.

My hand going to the thin chain around my neck letting my fingers play with the thick metal of his ring, my finger tips sliding along the thin engraved words on the inside. He never told me what was written on it until it was too late to even think about what it meant for us.

FLASHBACK__

It was the 1950's; where there were barely any rules and the rules that were there, were meant to be broken.

He was the top hellion in town and everyone knew him as "Danger." But me being me, I was attracted to anything with cation tape and warning signs. And boy did that man have flashing, sculpted warning signs all over his body. The black ink was more than just to make people judge him and no one knew what they truly meant except for me.

I spent months trying to get close to him and he kept pushing me away; but finally he gave in and we were two in the same. He was everything that I needed and even though he didn't admit it for a long time, I was everything he had always been looking for. We fell in love so easily.

Our first time... My first time was in the back of his Chevy II / Nova Fastback. He had showed up at my place with roses and an apology card for having ditched me to go beat up a boy who wanted to be the next big name in town, but was in over his head.

We drove out to the hills and parked on the edge over looking the town, even though the whole town thought he was trouble and that he would break my heart. I ignored them, because he was my mate and I loved him so deeply that nothing else mattered to me.

While we laid there in the blankets with his chest pressed tightly to mine in the cramped back seat, I was the happiest I have ever been.

But he had one more surprise.

"Baby doll."

I look up at him and smile, "Yes my bad boy."

He smirks at me and kisses my forehead tenderly. "Will you wear my ring?"

I look at him for a moment in shock, even though we had dated for a while now I knew that he would probably never settle for just one girl, it wasn't his style. But this...

"Are you sure you want me?" My voice just a whisper.

"Oh Baby, I want you. Heck I want you for the rest of my life." He kisses me and I kiss him right back with so much passion we break the kiss panting, "You have no idea what I have planned for us."

"Yes, I will be yours." I giggle and he smiles brightly as he slides off his ring and puts it on my finger, and even though it is too big; I make sure that it is really there. That this isn't a dream.

A few weeks pasted and we were happy. Genuinely happy.

But the world is too messed up to have happiness stay too long.

He went out for a drag race at the normal "track" which is just a wide, empty canal has been used for drag racing for years now. That morning I followed along to see him win like always. We kissed and talked before it started and we watched the other racers file in. One standing out the most, he was a boy just a year younger than us who had always wanted to be top dog around town, but sense my man was the alpha, he was never even in the running.

"Wish me luck Baby doll." He purrs against my lips, his strong arms holding me flat against his chest.

"Good luck." I kiss him deeply.

"Mmm, do I get a reward if I win?" He wiggles his eyebrows at me and I laugh.

"Only if you win." I poke him in the chest and we both laugh, kissing one more time before he gets in and wave to him as I go stand by a few of his friends.

As the cars get ready, I over hear some of the wannabe's friends talking about what they did to mess with the race; before I could run forward and stop the race, they took off and I watched in slow motion of what horror was about to happen.

When the cars got half way down to track, I watched as the wannabe's car swerved towards my mate's and then he swerved, his tire blowing out and flipping the car making it roll down the track. The sound of crunching metal and screeching tires filled the air as everyone watching stood frozen and dead silent.

When it finally stopped rolling, I ran to him; I ran with all my might. When I was in reach, a pair of arms yanked me back as I screamed at them to let me go. I could smell his blood and see his hand laying limp outside of the window.

I screamed at the top of my lungs as the car burst into flats and in a matter of minutes there was nothing left of my mate or the car. The tears flowed for hours as I sat on the track a few feet away from the smoking ashes of the car that held so many memories for us. It held what I treasured more than anything else in this world.

END OF FLASHBACK__

I take in a deep breath and twirl the ring in my fingers, Reading the name he had engraved in the thick metal.

Baby-doll your going to be my wife .

I bite my lip and luckily only one tear escapes my eye, letting me wipe it away quickly as Gage starts to wake up.

"You awake?" He mumbles into my neck, kissing it softly.

"Yeah." I whisper.

"Want to go get breakfast?" He slowly sits up and stretches.

"You don't have to pretend to care Gage, see you around." I get out of his bed and throw on my shirt and slide my skirt back on.

"Wait, what did I do?" He asks, trying to untangle himself from his sheets quickly, "Did I leave the toilet sit up again?" He calls out as I open the front door.

As I walk to my car, I fiddle with the ring again, mentally wishing for what I have been wishing for ever sense that day.

"If only you were here Nick."
