Jarred’s pov.
Alexis was sat so close to me, I just wanted to reach over and grab here. My whole body was screaming MINE! I don’t know why, I have never felt this way about anyone before, I have been with lots of girls and no one has ever made me feel the way Alexis does.
Her arm wasn’t even touching mine; she was trying to sit as far away from me as possible. I couldn’t help but stare at her. I spent the whole car journey watching her, she didn’t even look at me though, and she just spent the whole journey gazing out of the window. She is just so beautiful. That dress made her look amazing, it fit her body perfectly. I wanted to rip it off of her body, I knew she hated me, well perhaps not hated me but she definitely didn’t like me.
“Jarred, how old are you?” her question bought me out of my thoughts; no one had said anything yet.
“Why does it matter Princess, we can discuss this at a later date.” I don’t know why her father was hiding the fact that I was a vampire from her, I thought it would be better to tell her now. To get all the bad things out in the open right away. I could tell she knew there was something off about me.
I turned away from Alexis and looked at her father; I could see a bead a sweat rolling down his forehead. Why was he so nervous? I don’t think Alexis would be that shocked when she finds out; she is a witch after all.
“It matters to me dad; if I am being forced to marry this baboon then I want to know how old he is.” Okay so that confirms my earlier thoughts, she definitely doesn’t like me. I will have to change that.
She turned to face me,
“So you’re what? Like thirty?” she thinks I am thirty? I only appear to be at least twenty, well that was the age I was telling people I am. But honestly I am a lot older than thirty, far older.
“You are funny Alexis; I am in fact only twenty. Three years older than you, is that going to be a problem?” I could feel a smile forming on my lips, I couldn’t help myself. I knew I was almost begging her to argue with me, I just wanted to hear her voice. This was the first real conversation I have had with her; I never wanted it to end.
“Yes, in fact I think twenty is way too old, it’s over.” Alexis’ mother’s mouth nearly hit the car’s floor. She was shocked, no one expected her to say that. Even me, I thought she would just joke and mess around but I could sense the seriousness in her voice.
“Alexis, it is NOT over. This wedding is happening whether you like it or not, I am sorry that you didn’t get to fall in love with someone. But Jarred is perfect and I am sure that one day you will learn to love him, I promise Sweetie”
Alexis looked like she had given up; she didn’t reply to her mother, she just returned gazing out of the window.
“Alexis, we are here” her mother told her, she hadn’t even noticed that the car had stopped. Melisa got out of the car and then Daniel did too. I could see Alexis reaching for the door handle on her side, I quickly got out of the car and around to her side before her hand even reached the door.
I opened it for her.
“How did you get here so fast?” she looked at me puzzled and then back at where I was sat a second or two ago.
“What do you mean Alexis; you have just been sat there staring off into space.” I know I shouldn’t lie to her, but her parents don’t want her to know, not just yet anyway. I had to do as they wish, I know I should be the one making the rules but she is there only daughter. I don’t want her to hate them.
“Okay, sorry. I tend to day dream quite a lot, guess you’ll have to get used to it hubby” she winked at me before she got out of the car, just hearing her call me ‘hubby’ even if it was meant as a joke excited me.
