The Shadows

Chapter 4

John was the first to hoist me out of bed. "Thank you. I owe you one." He says hugging me. "Actually you owe me a lot." I reply. He let go of me, Jared squeezed me. "Don't hurt my merchandise." Vincent teased. I flipped him off. "Kinky. But not in front of my family." He replied to my gesture. "We do owe you." Jared smiled. "Then why are you here? go be with you loves" I shoe them off. "We will but first. Tomorrow when the seamstress comes I want you to be with the girls so they are comfortable. Because they like you for some stupid reason." John says.

"Because I'm not a dick like you Johnny boy." I smiled. "I hate you." He spat. "No you don't. I can see it in you eyes." I tell him. Vincent pulls me back into bed. "Quit hogging my wife." He said possessively. "Well goodnight." They said walking out. "Carmen is coming so be nice." Satan says. "Nice isn't my nature." Vincent says. "Then explain why your wife loves you so much?" mom says. "She has to. And she likes it." he says smirking at me. I rolled my eye. "I'll make sure he behaves." I tell her. "There is some hope." Mom smiles waking out.

It was finally just us. I take my finger and place it at the top button of his shirt. I side my finger all the way down leaving his body open. "Now that was hot." He smirked. He hovered over me, he just stared at me with his hand on my face and one on my side. I lays hands on his chest. We lay here just staring at each other. We switched positions his eyes turned to his weird color. I stoked his temple and hair looking into his eyes. He rubbed my back. Vincent sits us up I sit in his lap with his knees holding me in place. "Is it possible to fall more in love with your wife?" He asks. "I don't know I don't have wife. But I do have one amazing husband." I tell him. He gave me a serious look. "Funny." He states unamused.

I laid my hand on his chest while the other on his shoulder underneath his unbuttoned shirt. I rested my fore head on his, Vincent had his hands on my waists. "I love you Layla." He whispers. "I love you Vincent. I never thought I would be this happy." I whisper back. He softly kisses my lips. We sat here no thought no words just his music playing. It might not seem like much but besides the dancing and love making. This is the most romantic thing I have ever lived. He embraced me quickly pulling my whole body into him. "Are you okay?" I asked. "It's Carmen." He replied. "What about Carmen?" I asked. "I was suppose to marry her. Before we got married I was engaged to her." He explains. I try to push him away but he is much stronger than I am. "What." I say spit. "I need to tell you this before Friday so she doesn't screw with you. When you were unconscious I went to her place and broke off the engagement. You are the only one that I want and I need. Please don't be mad. I love you." He pleas. I'm not mad I'm furious.

He looks up at me, with worry in his eyes. "What did you think was gonna happen when you told me this?" I ask. "I know you are pissed but you matter more than the whore." He tells me. I sigh. "Did you love her?" I ask my wanting to know the answer. "Yes..." he trails off. "Do you still love her?" I ask now heart broken. "No. Actually I hate her." He spits. His eyes still the weird color but anger was in his eyes. While deep sadness was in mine. "I can see you are heart broken but you don't need to be. That's history. You are my now and future." He says almost emotionless. "Your words say one thing and your tone says another." I reply. "Yeah well I'm not thrilled I have to tell you this." He said coldly.

"Then why did you?" I ask as a tear escapes. "Baby. Please don't cry, it was just a warning. I didn't think you were going to meet my ex fiancé or ask those questions." He tells me. "I didn't think you were going to tell me this!" I raised my voice. "I had too. Other wise Friday would have absolutely brutal for you." he explains. "Well I guess you have a point." I say. I can he it brings a little hope in his eyes. "I was waiting for a giant ass fight." He said. "Oh there will be after the ball if she comes near you. Or I won't hesitate to throw her in paradise and torture her my self." I smile. "That's kinda sadisticly hot." He smirked. "You could have told me from the minute we met you were engaged." I tell him. "Here we go." He says. "No I'm not gonna fight. I'm just stating." I say calmly.
