Vampire Twins Meet The Pack (Book One)

Chapter Forty Six

A knock on my door pulled me away from my TV. I grumbled and rolled my eyes as I trudged over to answer it. If it was Jaydon I was going to punch him in the face. I pulled open the door and saw Bishop. I was just about to ask him, a bit rudely, what he wanted, when he leaned down and he kissed me.

I couldn't help myself, I kissed him back. His arms went around my back, pulling me closer to him. I felt my fingers tangling in his hair but I didn't remember moving my hand. Then it clicked in my mind what was happening. Of their own accord my hands moved to place themselves on his chest and shove him firmly back. My eyes met his for a second and then I slammed the door in his face. As it clicked shut I fell back against it, gasping. Had Bishop seriously just kissed me? What would he do a thing like that for?

I shook my head fiercely to clear out those thoughts. Taking a deep breath, I stepped away from the door and flopped down on my bed. I tried to return to watching the TV like I had been before, but it couldn't hold my attention any longer. "Ugh!" I groaned, throwing one of my pillows across the room so that it hit the wall. What call did Bishop have to make me feel this way?

I threw another pillow, and another, and another, until all my pillows were stacked up against the wall. Then I walked over there, gathered them all up, and threw them one by one back onto my bed. I thought about going downstairs, but if I did that I might run into Bishop, and I didn't know what I would say to him. I had kissed him and then slammed a door in his face. I couldn't just say, "Hey, what's up?", now could I?

"Stupid stupid stupid," I muttered to myself, fumbling for the remote to shut off the TV. "Why did I have to kiss him back?" If he had just kissed me and I had stood there and not reacted, maybe he would have apologized or something and we would never have to bring it up again.

I needed somebody to talk to, I needed advice. But who could I go to? Jenni wouldn't be much of a help, Lanie had no idea whatsoever, and Patricia was too busy with Cole to be bothered by my comparatively trivial problems. The boys wouldn't be at all helpful in this situation, they were boys and all of them friends with Bishop.

Then it hit me. Ariana. If nothing else, if she wasn't with Peter--- no, nevermind. She was always with Peter. And if i told her that I wanted to talk with her alone, he would no doubt want to know why. She would probably end up telling him after all. Of course, Bishop could be telling all the boys right now. What did I have to lose?

But before I went to go find her, there was the last half of an episode of NCIS to watch. With a faint smile I let myself forget everything and absorb myself in the TV screen. In twenty minutes I could go find Ariana and her boyfriend.

I turned off my TV and walked out of my room, trying to figure out where Ariana and Peter might be while also looking out for Bishop. I didn't want to run into him until after I'd talked to somebody about what had happened.

It only took me about five minutes to find where they were. "Ariana," I said softly, drawing her attention away from Peter. "Can I talk to you?"
