I woke up the next morning to see Adrian getting up and grabbing his pack of cigarettes, and when I looked at his face, I did a double take. He didn’t look very good, he looked really sick, and then I remembered,
“Shit,” I said “You need blood, ASAP.”
Without thinking, I got up and walked over to him. Once I reached him, I lifted up my hair to expose my neck. Adrian looked at me, and then at my throat, biting his lip.
“I can’t use you like that, it’s wrong.” He said
“Babe,” I said “You NEED it, and it’s too sunny out, so it would make it even harder to get to a feeder. I should have been thinking more about your needs, I’m sorry.” I sat down on the bed and buried my head in my hands.
“Laura…” Adrian started saying
“No Adrian,” I interrupted him, looking up “I know what I’m doing, your needs are important. We don’t want you attacking a random person on the street, that would be messy, and the Alchemists would not be happy. They’d have to erase memories, quite a few of them most likely; though if it was female, she probably wouldn’t mind your lips caressing her neck.” I smirked at him.
Adrian sighed “Fine, you win. He sat down beside me on the bed, and I sat up, lifting my hair up again. He put his hand lightly on my neck,
“I love you.” He said
And then he pressed his lips against my throat and bit.
Before the bite, I had frozen from surprise as to what he’d said, but after he bit me, everything disappeared and my mind went blank, except for the wonderful bliss that came with a vampire’s embrace. To be completely honest with you, I kind have missed the feeling, before now. Then again, who wouldn’t? It was bliss, just as amazing, if not better than sex.
I had tried for some time to not dwell on the feeling, but now it was hard not to, considering Adrian had his lips on my neck, and for some reason, I started thinking about sex, as he drank my blood. It was surprising that I could even think of anything but the bliss, but here I was, thinking about sex. Through the haze of Adrian feeding from me, I even fantasized about it, and it was a little embarrassing.
I don’t know if it had been minutes or hours later, but eventually he pulled away from my neck and wiped his mouth, which was covered in my blood. Silently, Adrian got up off the bed and walked into the bathroom, a few seconds later he came out with a Kleenex. He gently cleaned my neck, and once he was done, he pressed his lips gently to my neck, kissing it lightly, which brought back thoughts of the 3-letter word I’d been thinking about earlier, but it also reminded me of the 3 words he had said to me before feeding, and I blushed deeply.
“Why are you blushing hun?” He whispered, continuing to kiss my neck, which had always been a weakness of mine. I tried to keep from gasping as I opened my mouth to speak.
“You said something before you, er, fed…”
“Yes, I think I do recall saying something.” Adrian murmured, kissing up my neck and then to my jawline, and then to my cheeks, and finally pressing his lips to mine.
“You told me you loved me.” I said, blushing even more.
“Yes, I did. And I do. Ever since Rose, I’ve been completely broken, she tore my heart out and ripped it into pieces, but you came along and stitched it back together. You’re such a good person, so caring. It makes me want to be a better person.”
I kissed Adrian, smiling at him.
We started packing what we would need to bring with us to New York, while snacking on cake. I grew worried, wondering what the men had up their sleeves, because I highly doubted they were going to just give Shay back without wanting collateral. I prayed they wouldn’t want Adrian, because I wouldn’t be able to handle having to decide who to save and who to leave to their fate. It would be like choosing which half of my heart I wanted to rip out, because I loved them both. I always knew that I loved Shay, she was my best friend. And I just realized that I loved Adrian, too. I didn’t want to lose either of them, and it frightened me that I could possibly be condemning one to death, or worse, life as a Strigoi. I’d rather die than have either of those things happen to Shay or Adrian.
After we finished packing we decided to go to the mall just to pass the time. When we got there, the first store we saw, or maybe I saw, was the pet store. I always loved to go and looked at the animals, especially the cats. I convinced Adrian to come in with me, since I’d been wanting to adopt a kitten for quite a while. The man who was working there let us go in and play with the kittens, Most of them were tripping over themselves begging for attention from Adrian, since animals love Moroi, especially spirit users, it was adorable.
There was one specific kitten that practically stole my heart, and it seemed to be very shy looking, hiding in the corner. I went over to the beautiful kitten and started petting her, and after a while, she eventually came out of her shell, and she was a sweetheart. She was a little white one, the smallest of them all; with the most beautiful blue eyes I'd ever seen. You could say I pretty much fell in love with her, and I cuddled with her for who knows how long, and she purred contently as I stroked her fur. I put her down for a second, and she bounded over to Adrian, meowing adorably and begging for attention. Her eyes looked like they were lit up like a kid's on Christmas morning, it was adorable. We played with the kittens for another little while, and I made my decision as to which one I wanted, so I let myself out of the cage and walked over to the man.
“Hello, how can I help you today?”
“Hello,” I smiled, “I was wondering if I could adopt a kitten.
“Sure thing,” The man said, and we walked over to the cage where the kittens were, as Adrian was getting out.
“Which one do you want?” He asked
I already knew which one I wanted to have.
“I’d like the tiny white one with the blue eyes, please.” I said.
“Oh that little lady is a good choice,” He said “She’s a sweet little one.”
I signed the paper and bought all I needed for the new addition to the family.
“I can’t believe she likes me.” Adrian said, astounded as we were driving back to my place.
“I can,” I replied “You’re quite lovable.”
“Are you saying you love me?” Adrian asked
“Hm,” I pretended to think really hard “I don’t know, I’ll get back to you on that.” I said in a teasing voice.
“Very well,” Adrian replied, reaching over to hold my hand.
“Now… What to name her…?” I thought out loud.
