New Friends, New Foe

   "Hey, " Cole gently whispered, as he was shaking me awake, "let's head inside."

   The car has stopped, and we were back at Coles's home. I must've fallen asleep on the way home. It's dark outside now, looking a shade of crimson red, "how long have I been out?"

   "About... Twenty minutes I think, " Cole says with a confused look on his face. He then leans over and unbuckles my seat belt.

   As he does this our faces are so close to each other, I can feel his shallow breathe on my face. Then our eyes meet, my heart skips a beat, why does my heart feel this way?

  He then quickly leans back into his seat, "come on, let's head inside." He opens his door, then gets out of the car. He walks around the front of the car, then opens my door.

  "Thanks, " I say as I lift my tired limbs up off the seat of the car.

   "No problem."

  He then closes my door and heads toward his home. We enter the home, it puts me at ease.

  I then take another shower, because after a day like this I feel horrible. As the gentle drizzle of water streams down my face, I think.

  Subsequently, I finish my shower and get dressed in a simple white nightgown I packed just hours before. I now head to the kitchen to grab something to eat before bed.

   As I rummage through Coles cabinets, I realize that there's not much to eat, the only food that was in his cabinet was bread. I then look in the fridge to see what I can find. I find the supplies Cole used to make the sandwiches just a few hours prior.

   As I'm making a sandwich I hear a knock on the door. This startled me because I wasn't expecting company so late in the night.

   I walk down the hallway to try and find cole, but he is nowhere to be seen.
I give up looking and walk back to the kitchen.

   I hear the knock again, so I gathered up some courage and walked to the door and opened it.

   There's a tall, quite handsome man in front of me. He has long, dark red hair, pulled back into a messy ponytail, and blue eyes like sapphires.

   "Hello there, " the man says to me as I watch him check me out. I feel a little uneasy with his gaze upon me.

   "Is Cole home, " he asks.

   "Uh... ye-yeah, he's here somewhere, " I struggle to get the last part out.

   "Well, do you mind if I come in?" He asks, "it's a little chilly out here."

   "Uh, sure, please, come in."

   He follows me into the kitchen, and I continue to make the sandwich from earlier.

   "I don't mean to intrude, " he stars, "but are you, Coles, new girl, he finally got over that other one, ha"

   "Other one?"

   "Yeah, he said he really liked this one girl he used to go to school with."

  "Oh, " I wonder, "but no I'm not Coles's girlfriend."

  "Well isn't that a slice of something special," he said with a strange glare in his eye. "Who are you then."

  "Max, " I utter, "Max Adams."

   "Oh I've heard a story or two about you," he said with a chuckle, "Nice to meet you, Max, I'm Asher Smith."

   "You're the one who officer Ross called, as Coles alibi!" I blurt out.

   "Yes, indeed that is me, " he pauses, "say, you wouldn't have any unusual quirks would you?"

   "Quirks?"

   "Ah, forget I said anything."

  It begins to become a bit awkward. I begin to put the sandwich supply away in there rightful place.

   Next thing I know I'm falling to the ground, Asher on top of me. He then begins to lick my neck and I start to feel teeth agents me.

   "What are you doing?!" I shout

   Next thing I know Cole rips Asher off me, pushes him to the other side of the room then shields me from Asher.

   "What the Hell are you doing!" Cole yells

   "Well, I thought since you weren't around it was an easy catch, " Asher tries to explain, "calm down man can't we just-"

  "No!" Cole cuts him off.

  "Why are you even here Asher?" Cole asks.

   "I was just curious as to why I had the police call me and ask what I was doing."

   "Damn, Max are you alright?" Cole asks

   "I'm fine."

   Luckily, Cole came just in time, Asher didn't get the chance to bite me if that was even what he was planning on doing.

   "Asher, try to control your self man," Cole says as he examines me to make sure if I'm actually fine.

   "Well ya know it's been awhile and it's killing me," Asher says looking at me.

  "I don't care, Asher, you don't just come in here like you own the place!"

   "I'm fine, so let's just forget about it, hm?" I say to stop this from going any further.

   "You're right, " Cole agrees

  "Ya know I'll just come back another time, when we can talk."

   "Its probably for the best, see you soon Asher, I'll explain everything later," Cole says as he escorts Asher out the door, locking it behind him.

   "Phew, " Cole sighs as he slides his back down the front door slowly.

   "You okay?" I ask him as I begin to eat the sandwich I made earlier.

   "The question is, are u okay?" He said looking up to me from the floor where he is now crouching.

   I laugh, "yes I told you I'm fine, really, nothing even happened."

   "Nothing?!" He exclaimed, "Imma kick his ass later, just you wait."

   I laugh again, it feels good to laugh, I haven't laughed like this in a long time. It feels great. Just me and him, like the old days where.

   I reach my hand out to him, "come on, it's getting late want to head to bed?"

   "Yeah, I'm beat, " he says taking my hand.

   "Oh yeah! Asher said he heard a few stories about me, what are you blabbing about to with others?!"

   "Nothing, I sware, come on let's get some sleep."
