Aidan’s POV:

I didn’t want to move.

Seriously, I hadn’t felt this comfortable and relaxed in such a long time. Between worrying about everything crappy in my life and keeping up my loner act to keep people away from me, I hadn’t exactly had the time to rest and figure just what the heck was wrong with me. Yeah, I was messed up, but after that bomb Gavin had dropped… let’s just say it hurt. A lot.

After talking with my parents-----they were still the same people who’d raised me and taught me stuff----I had to admit, I felt a lot better. More at peace, like a burden’s been lifted from my shoulders… (Yeah, real good at this poetic soul-touching stuff.) And now, having Tiana here in my arms, I couldn’t feel better. Even her weird vision-dream thing couldn’t bother me------that much.

“Aidan,” she said, her voice muffled against my chest. “It’s 7 am…”

“I know,” I replied, not moving. I played with her hair. Girls loved it when guys played with their hair, right?

Not that I wanted to hint at anything. I just liked teasing her. And she’s a girl… and the fact that we’re lying on a bed… and I was still a teenage guy… Oh, shut up, brain.

She moved slightly. “We should probably-----”

“Oh, come on,” I complained. “It’s still so early. Why do you need to so much time getting ready for school? You look fine without makeup.”

Tiana was quiet for a moment, but by the way her pulse rate suddenly went up, I was guessing she was blushing. “Um… this is getting a little awkward…” She tried to push away from me, but either she was really weak or she didn’t really mean it because I barely felt it.

I let her pull away a little so I could look at her face. Her blue eyes flashed up at me quickly, then away, then darted back to my face. Gods, she was so…

“You’re…really okay?” she asked suddenly. “With the whole adopted thing, and… my dream?”

I rolled my eyes. “Do I not look okay?” I rolled away from her, sitting up. Glancing back at her, I thought I caught a glimpse of something like… disappointment? Nah, couldn’t be.

“Seriously,” I said, “I’m past all that. Though I supposed I should be more careful now that I might be kidnapped off the streets, hmm?” I raised my eyebrows at her, not serious.

But she was frowning. Sitting up, she said, “But don’t you want to figure out what it all means? And what about your real mother, Vera? Or the vampire revolution; that could affect humans, too. I think we should find that old guy, or maybe Tristan could give us answers----”

“Tiana,” I interrupted. “That’s their business. Nothing for us to worry about. I’m not a tool for anyone to use. If the vamps want to kill each other, fine. Not my problem. So just leave off, okay?”

“But that’s just----”

This time I pushed her onto the bed, so that I was lying on top of her. Her eyes widened slightly, otherwise there were no other reaction, and she just stared up at me, her blue eyes huge and unblinking. “Seriously,” I whispered, “Shut. Up.” I leaned forward close to her face. We stared at each other for awhile in silence. Of course my brain wandered, and I found myself staring at her lips. Holy crap. Gods I really wanted to kiss her right now… Shit, did I say that out loud?
