Vampires and Werewolves. The beginning of a conflict.

Chapter 5: Erica's predicament

Erica POV

I was sitting on top of my bed with Yuri besides me. It was after I had gotten back from that school and I was feeling really angry at my parents.

Why? Why does this have to happen now? I just want a normal life. I want to fall in love, and marry that person. Besides, it's ususally the guys that are getting into arranged marriages anyway, not us girls. I thought to myself bitterly.

"I'm sorry. I must seem like a monster to you. You hate me, don't you?" Yuri said looking down.

I saw tears start to roll down her cheeks and I suddenly felt really guilty.

I raised her face and cupped it inside my hands as I wiped her tears using my thumbs.

"No. No, I don't hate you. It's not your fault. It's just that this is all so sudden and against my permission. I actually really like you." I said softly and reassuringly.

She couldn't meet my eyes and I sighed. I leaned forward and kissed both of her eyes.

Yuri instantly looked up blushing. I knew that she didn't want the marriage, either. But unlike me, she actually loves me a lot and that's why she didn't protest at much as I did.

Do I like her? I thought to myself. I mean, she is really hot and her chest was bigger than mine, but why am I so conflicted when it comes to my feelings for her? And why did I mention her chest? Argh!!!

"What are you thinking about?" Yuri asked looking concerned. "You've been in deep thought for the last 2 minutes."

"Oh..uhm...I'm just stressed that's all." I said quickly.

She looked at me closely for a second before she said, "I know it's something else but I won't press the matter yet. Get some sleep."

"But, what about my homework?" I said protesting.

"You usually do it on the way to your school anyway." She said. "Besides, it's a nap. I'm not asking you to sleep until tomorrow morning."

"Fine." I said huffing. I lifted the covers and was about to go underneath them when suddenly Yuri pushed me down onto the bed and laid on top of me underneath the covers.

"W-what are you doing?" I said taken aback.

She didn't answer and just put her left hand on my cheek and wrapped her right arm around my waist before falling asleep in 2.04 seconds with her head on my chest.

I sighed and said, "Turn off the lights and change the background to sleep mode."

The lights turned off and the walls started displaying images of night sky.

I drifted off into sleep. 

After I woke up.

I saw that it had passed an hour and a half. I looked over at Yuri and saw that she was still on top of me sleeping soundly. 

I studied her as she was sleeping. 

Yuri was extremely beautiful. She had a nice body, too. Not too skinny but still skinny, and she had some really nice abs. I could feel them through our shirts along ith her fairly big chest. Her black hair was  very soft and I couldn't stop stroking my hand through it. It wasn't as long as mine. Probably a bit over medium length but it was still fairly long. Her skin was slightly tanned and felt really nice.

I sighed in my head.

Why can't I just love her like she loves me? I thought. She's perfect. But my thoughts are still focused on them. Wait. Them?
