Blood Red (EDITING)

Shopping

I woke up to Courtney, Mona, Raina, Marianna, Marie, Alicia, Kat and Esmerelda all in my face. I almost screamed but just shoved my head farther into my pillow.
"Get up you lazy ass! We are going shopping!" Alicia all but screamed at me. I'm glad that she considered us friends otherwise she wouldn't have called me an ass. And gotten away with it.
"Woah," well now Joseph was up. Courtney frowned and pushed him out of the room. Forcefully.
"Okay, now let's get you dressed!" She squealed. Oh boy.
It was just as bad as I expected. They shoved me into probably the tightest thing I owned. It did make me look great though. It was a long black velvet dress with a corset that actually functioned. I got it at a fair a few years ago. It hugged my boobs and flowed over my slightly chubby hips. They put an antique looking choker on me that definitely wasn't mine.
"You look hot!" Mona complimented looking me up and down and biting her lip. I smiled big at everybody and hugged them. Then I brushed my hair and put some mascara on.
"Let's go eat some breakfast then we will go shopping alright?" Marie asked me. I nodded and we walked down the stairs arm in arm, Esmerelda had disappeared as the necklace appeared so I don't know if she would be joining us.
"Damn Little Red. I haven't you seen you wear that since sophmore homecoming!" Joseph complimented as I walked into the dining room.
"Wow," Xander said just staring at me. I really wanted to laugh.
Axton just stared at me his eyes darkening slightly. Stupid teenage vampire hormones. I still wasn't very happy with him.
"Okay enough ogling her! Let's eat then get out of here!" Raina cried dramatically.
"She's going out, in that?" Axton seemed flabbergasted. I crossed my arms and scowled at him. He can't tell me what to do.
"Yes she is and she looks sexy as hell. You're just jealous!" Alicia stated before dragging me away while I still held my toast.
We all piled in Marie's truck, it had fit the whole pack in here so it had no trouble fitting us in. We went to a nearby mall that seemed to have a lot of American stores. We went to Hot Topic, Victoria's Secret, Too Cute, (it's a Japanese store in my area) and another weird little nerdy shop called Forbidden Planet.
'I'm tired! Let's just go home!' I whined to Marie through my thoughts.
"Alright Princess, let's go home ladies." She laughed. We all got back into the car and drove home. WE HAD BEEN SHOPPING FOR 5 HOURS!?
"Welcome back ladies! I think certain men have been missing you," Igor said as we walked in. The shewolves immediately went to their mates and Alicia actually smiled at Joseph. I still ship it.
"There you are," I was pulled into Axton's arms. Awe. I'll let it happen.
"You two aren't even dating," I heard Joseph call from across the room.
I looked up at Axton hopefully. We barely knew each other but might as well. "Would you do me the honor of going out with me?" He asked quietly and I nodded.
"Now we are!" Axton shouted back.
"You're welcome Little Red!" I heard Joseph shout as he went upstairs.
"Want some lunch?" He asked beaming down at me. I smiled right back and nodded. He kept his arms around my shoulders.
We made some sandwiches and grabbed some chips. He grabbed us each a Coke and we went up to my room to eat. Unfortunately Joseph was in there. Instead of offering to leave he just stuck his feet out and relaxed obviously not leaving soon.
Axton scowled and grabbed my wrist. He pulled me across the hall and into his room. I've only ever been in Joseph's room before. This was totally different.
His walls were dark red with a few really fancy looking paintings on them. He had clothes all over the floor even though they were mostly dress clothes. He had a big bed with a black bed spread and a black dresser. It actually looked a lot like my room but smelled like him which was awesome.
"You going to stop sniffing love?" He asked me. Oops didn't realize I was doing that. I blushed and put my head down. He laughed as he walked over to the bed and plopped down. He patted the spot across from him and I sat down.
We ate out food in silence for a while as I looked around his room and he watched me. "Okay! We are going to get to know each other better!" Axton said surprising me. I swallowed and nodded. He grabbed a pen and paper pad from his bedside table and handed them to me.
"Well I'll start. My name is Axton Maron, I'm a vampire. Sorry for not telling you that. My favorite color is red. My favorite food, er, normal food is grilled cheese. I really hate extremely hot weather and I've been alive for about 300 years but I'm technically 18." Wow. Okay.
'My name is Dove Langley, Marie sort of adopted me. It's complicated. My favorite color is black. My favorite food is taco pizza that only I know the recipe for. I also hate hot weather and love snow. I've been 19 for 4 months' I wrote. He didn't tell me he was a vampire no need to tell him I'm a werewolf.
"Great. Can I ask you some questions?" I nodded slightly, a bit apprehensive to what he might ask.
"What is Joseph to you?" Awe he really was jealous.
'We've been best friends since 3rd grade. Nothing more,' I wrote and winked at him. He smiled when he read it.
"Okay good. Where were you from?" He asked.
'Northern Alabama,' I answered vaguely.
"Okay. Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Oh shit.
'Yes,' please drop it. Please drop it.
"What are their names?" Shit.
'Reese and Jackson,' I couldn't help the sadness then disgust that came over my face when I wrote their names. I could see that he saw it but I'm glad he didn't say anything.
"Why did you come here?"
'I don't want to talk about it!' I wrote quickly before grabbing my now empty plate to throw away. Downstairs.
"Hey, I'm sorry if it's a touchy subject love. I just want to know more about you," Axton pleaded. I wasn't in the mood to really answer anymore questions but I forgave him. I hugged him quickly before running off to find Marie. Time to talk.
