I told him everything, about the books, but I never mentioned how Rose broke his heart, because I was sure he wouldn’t need a reminder. I told him I knew about Strigoi and Dhampirs, and that Lissa had recently become queen, after Tatiana was murdered by Tasha. I also didn’t mention his mom being sent to prison, because I knew he wouldn’t need a reminder of that either. I said all of it in a rush, and he’d smoked about 3 cigarettes by the time I was done talking.
I stopped for a minute to catch my breath
He was speechless, for a minute anyways
“Lovely” He said bitterly
“I’m sorry.” I said, truly sorry.
“It’s not your fault,” He replied “How many people now because of the books?”
“I doubt many humans actually believe it, you should know that humans don’t believe the existence of vampires and such anymore. Pretty good for you guys, too.” I said
“I’m surprised you didn’t run from me as soon as you realized what I am.” He said, bitterly.
“Not at all,” I replied, “You may not be human, but you’re still a person to me. You’re a good guy, Adrian. God, that sounds so creepy, considering I just met you today. But I feel like I’ve known you forever, since I always liked you… in the books? You always seemed like a sweetheart and I hated how you went through so much pain, when you didn’t deserve it. You deserve to be happy, and it seemed to me like no one would let you. You’re so handsome. I don’t even know, I’m sorry, again. I probably seem like the biggest creep ever. You can leave if you want.”
I turned around, about to leave, embarrassed at what I said in my little rant, for my cheeks were bright red. I knew he’d be able to see it, and probably could tell from my aura. He grabbed my arm suddenly and spun me around gently
“Don’t leave,” He whispered “I’ve been kind of lonely recently. Well, ever since Rose… Yeah, but I’ve needed a friend, someone who knows what I’ve gone through and doesn’t think any different of me… The spirit has been getting to me even more recently, and it scares me. I don’t want to go crazy, but there’s no way I’m going to become Strigoi to make it go away. I have to numb myself with alcohol and cigarettes, numb the spirit, and the pain. I can’t ta- I’m sorry, I was rambling,”
He blushed, and it was kind of extremely beautiful, like him,
“You’re really easy to talk to.” He said
“Thanks,” I said smiling “I should g-“
“Can I have your number?” He burst out, blushing even more, which I found adorable.
“Sure,” I said, smiling and blushing deeply, I don’t remember when the last time a guy asked for my number was.
We exchanged numbers, and I pulled out my phone to call a cab, he said
“Wait, I’ll take you home. Don’t want any creeps coming up to you, do we?” He said, putting on that sarcastic smile I’d always imagined
“Fine” I said, laughing lightly, I told him my address and we headed to my place
Once we got to the nice little apartment me and Shay shared, I thanked Adrian and went to walk out of the car, he followed, strange. We walked together up the few steps to the entrance to the apartment. Adrian unexpectedly grabbed my arm gently and pulled me into a hug and said
“Thank you so much, Laura. That meant a lot to me, really.”
I hugged back, smiling and said “You’re welcome, Adrian, anything for you.”
After we pulled away, he walked to the car, and I entered the building, as I turned, I saw him sitting in his car, staring at me. He waved, I waved back. Then he drove away, and I went into my place, showered then got into bed. Shay was already in bed, so I tried not to disturb her, me and Adrian texted late into the night, talking about anything and everything, pretty much. It definitely was a night to remember.
