A Vampire's Desire

Trying to Talk it Out

  I get in my car and let out a frustrated cry. Tears stream down my face and reality hits me hard. I'm never going to escape them. The torture and pain, never going away.

   I sit in my car for a while, realizing Cameron's truck is behind me. My car let's out a small purr as I pull away. When I wipe my eyes, Cameron comes around the corner, walking towards my car. I roll down my window when leans against the glass.

   "I'm coming over, so be ready."He keeps his gaze on me, unwavering."What's wrong?"

   "Do you just want to talk about it when we get to my place?"I offer.

   "I'm bringing my brother, like it or not. I'm going to fix this."

   I roll the window up and drive home in silence.

   Half an hour later, they arrive. My nerves become built up and I feel tense. Cameron takes a seat on the sectional as if he owned the place while Cole stands. I take the spot next to Cameron, curling up into a ball with my knees touching my chest.

  "So you won't even look at each other?"

   "He's a fucking asshole, I have no need to speak to him." I bury my head in my knees, muffling my voice effectively.

   Cameron snakes an arm around me, calming me down impossibly quick. Cole dismisses the motion, eager to leave.

   "Tell me what happened, your point of view, then let her speak her thoughts, and we'll work this all out."

   Cole starts his story/rant, and I space out. Maybe even I fell asleep, because all I catch is the ending of his side of the story.

"Would you like to work things out now?" Cameron asks politely.

"Nope." I get up to grab a cup of hot cocoa.

A warm hand grips my wrist and I nearly fall. I see Cameron holding it, tightly, like he thought I might fall off a cliff if he didn't hold on. A nice feeling. Shit, what was I thinking? Am I fantasizing about Cameron now?

"Let go." I whisper.

The warmth fades as he lets go. I like the feeling of his skin on mine. Was I falling for him?

  Cameron's P.O.V.

"Nope."She says.

The word glides off her lips like it was nothing. She seemed lost in her thoughts today. Something is off. Something is wrong.

I quickly grab her wrist before she leaves. Her eyes meet mine and I try not to melt. She is so perfect. I could easily say I love her. I love her to pieces, all of her and not another girl compares.

Hannah doesn't know. She's oblivious to my feelings. I wasn't in Seattle an extra two weeks just because of The Crave. I had to have a talk with Lenny.

Vampires are forbidden to have any type of romantic relationship with a human. It's against vampire law. But I can't help but love her. She's practically irresistible. It's taken all my self control to keep my hands off her.

I need to tell her I love her.

Today.

Now.
