MARIA'S POV
"Okay, guys.Where should we plan it?"We were all gathered here at my house to discuss some plans.Tonight, Stokeley was planning to ask Summer to be his girl.We wanted it to be special so I gathered everyone up, but them, to decide where or what we should do for their surprise party.
"How about The Melting Pot?Ski loves it there."Jah spoke up.
"That's a good start.Does anyone else have any ideas?"Everyone was blurting things out, except for our newest recruit, Johnny.
"What do you think we should do for them, John?"A smile slowly spread across his face before he spoke.
"I think we should we should all get dressed up and go to the Kres Chophouse.I am close to the owner so I could get us in there without a reservation and we won't have to pay a dime."I smiled at his idea.
"That's brilliant!Everyone with that?"Everyone celebrated and chanted 'yes'.
"Alright, so now that we have a plan, everyone should go home and get dressed for the dinner.And don't be late, this is a very special night."Everyone got up and exited, except for Johnny."Thank you for the idea, it really saved me a lot of time and money."I looked at him and smiled before entering the kitchen.
"Oh, its no problem, love.You're a great leader, by the way.The way you hold yourself up is - admirable."I looked at him and blushed a little.He was very cute, but I would never betray Jahseh like that.I would feel terrible.
"Why, uh, thank you.Maybe you should go home and get dressed.You know where the place is so you won't have any problems meeting us there."I smiled at him before turning around and finishing my notes for tonight.He pushed up against me and I gulped.I tried to move away from him, but he wasn't budging.
"Okay, I'll see you later, beautiful."He kissed my neck softly and left.I stood there and thought about what just happened.I looked in the direction that he walked away.Something about that guy.....is just off to me.JOHNNY'S POV
I only seduced Maria so she wouldn't be suspicious of anything.I wanted Summer and I was going to get her - one way or another.I got into my car and thought about a plan to make tonight - interesting.I smiled at my sudden idea and pulled my phone out.This is gonna be so good.
SUMMER'S POV
Stokeley took me back to the Members' Only house and it was absolutely beautiful.We ate some bomb ass food that was specially made for vampires like us.I was finally full and very satisfied.We made out for the first time today and girl, let me just tell you - his lips are like pillows, whew.
"Honey, you have to get ready now before you're late to your dinner tonight!!"I heard my mom yell from downstairs.
"Mom, I'm in the process, okay?I just got out the shower, give me 30 minutes."I rolled my eyes and shut my door.She always does this shit when there's a "special event" happening, ugh.I dried my hair, flat ironed it and then went into my closet to get my new dress. :I wasn't really the type to wear stuff like this, but I thought - 'Fuck it, let's do it.'I smiled at myself in my mirror once more before leaving my room.I walked down the stairs to a million flashes going off.
"Mom!Stop!"I covered my face.
"Honey, no, you look gorgeous!"She looked down at her phone and scrunched her face up.I looked down at it and my eyes widened.They were all shots of the staircase without me on them.
"Alright, I gotta go, Mom.Bye!!"I left before she could ask any questions.I got into my car and I was on my way to Kres Chophouse.STOKELEY'S POV
I finally made it to this far ass restaurant.I was about to walk in until I heard a girl crying.I walked to the side of the building to see a girl, sitting on the ground crying, hysterically.I slowly walked up to her and tapped her shoulder.She looked up at me with the most prettiest blue eyes that I have ever seen.I shook my thoughts before I spoke to her.
"Are you okay?"
"M-My boyfriend just broke up with me.....and today's our anniversary."She cried even louder.
"Its okay.There are plenty of other men out there that would love to have a beautiful girl like you."She looked up at me and smiled a little.
"I'm Elaine.And, you are?"
"I'm Stokeley."I shook her hand.
"Could you sit here for a little while and keep me company?I just really need someone to talk to."I was about to decline because one - I was in this expensive ass suit and two - I didn't want Summer to see me sitting in a secluded area with another female on the night that I was gonna ask her out - shit, I didn't want her to see me with another female - period.I sighed and sat down anyways.
"Thank you, Stokeley.You're a really sweet guy."I looked at her and smiled.
"Thanks, I really can't be here for too long, though.I have a reserved dinner waiting on me inside."I pointed towards the building.
"Oh, I won't keep you here for too long."I looked down at her as she placed her hand around my arm.She looked into my eyes and I looked back into hers.She placed her hand on me cheek and leaned in.LAILA'S POV
"Wow, you guys are here, right on time!Summer, where's Stokeley?"She looked at me dumbfoundedly.
"I thought he already came in.His car is outside and he's not in it."I furrowed my eyebrows and looked around the table.He wasn't in any of the seats.
"Let me go and check in the bathroom."Johnny said.
"Okay, go ahead."Summer got up and walked out of the building, tapping something on her phone.SUMMER'S POV
"Come on, baby.Pick up."I was growing frustrated as each moment passed.My senses were telling me that he was around, but he wasn't inside the building.I went vampire mode and walked around.I made it to a secluded side of a building to see - Stokeley.
