The Thirst In Me

Eleven

"A strong woman looks a challenge in the eye and gives it a wink"- Gina Carey

Keisha's POV

I had no idea how hard this was going to be. Veron hasn't left his room all day and he won't let anyone in.

It is now half-past seven in the evening and most of the vampires are nowhere to be found. I stood outside Veron's room with a dish of fruits. I don't know why I brought fruits. I should have just brought a bottle of blood...or sprinkled the fruits with blood. That would have gotten his attention. I smiled and shook my head at my silly fruit idea.

Just as I turned to leave, Damion's door swung open.
He is dressed in a tight black jeans, a white T-shirt, and a leather jacket, and his cologne is almost suffocating me.

"And where do you think you're going?" I questioned him.

"I'm just going on a date with my girlfriend's mom." He answered sarcastically.

Does he know how dangerous it is on these streets at night with vampires roaming around? I'm sure he doesn't. Well, I hope he doesn't.

"May I ask who the unlucky girl is?"

He clutched his chest as if he is in pain. "I'm offended. No girl would willingly resist this sexy guy right here." He smirked at me.

I looked around dramatically. "Is someone else here?"

"I'm the sexy one. Me!" He pointed to himself and I couldn't help my laughter.

"So where are you taking your mystery girl?"

Just then the doorbell rang and he didn't get to answer my question.

"I shall not keep my date waiting." He said in the most terrible English accent I have ever heard then left me standing in the hallway.

"Let's hope she doesn't have asthma," I called after him and I heard him chuckle as he reached the front door.

Why couldn't Damion be the one that I had to fall in love with? He's easier to talk to and he's less grumpy.....and let's not forget that he is human. Warm and sweet not cold and boring as I'm sure Veron is.

I went back to my room. I need to devise a plan to make him fall in love with me before December. I have to.

I took out my diary and started writing. I need to document everything I do to see if I'm making progress.

Making Veron Fall in love

Day one.

This is my first day on my quest of making Veron fall in love with me. I brought fruits to his room today but he refused to open the door. He didn't even answer when I knocked three times. His human friend is more tolerable. I wish he was the one I should fall in love with. It would have been so much easier. -K.P.

I closed the red book with the gold lines around the edges and placed it on the nightstand and went to take a shower before going to bed.

I have this habit of singing in the shower. Yes, it's cliché but I think I got it from my mother ....or so I heard. As I neared the second verse of Ed Sheeran's 'Perfect', I heard a muffling noise outside the bathroom door that made me halt my awful singing.

Could it be Veron? Did he finally decide to leave his room? I have to find out. I quickly grabbed the towel and draped it around my damp body. Stepping out of the shower I tiptoed to the door and opened it just a few inches so I could peek out.

I sighed in disappointment when I realized that it was just the two lovebirds fooling around again.

"Kaitlyn. David. Why don't you guys get a room or take your lovemaking to a hotel?" They seem to be startled by my voice. I really don't get it. They are vampires. They are supposed to have great hearing.

David smirked. "This isn't lovemaking. If we were making love she would be screaming so loud-"

"Enough!" I held up my hand. I really don't want him to give me the details as I know he would. "Just be careful OK. You don't want to get Malik all riled up. You know how he is."

Kaitlyn nodded and gave me a shy smile. "Thanks for not reporting us, Keisha." She said as they left so I could return to my showering.

My mind went back to Veron. I need to get him out of his room .....or I need to go in. He would probably kill me. I chuckled at the thought of fighting a vampire.

I decided to research how to make a guy fall in love. I found the perfect site on Google that gave me a list of ideas. I wrote the list in my diary and decided to start tomorrow.

#1. Make him feel needed.

I stared at the statement. How do I make him feel needed when I don't even know him. I only just met him.

I fell asleep that night thinking about ways to make him feel like I need him. Which I do actually. It's the only way I'm going to be free of Malik.
