Love Bitten 2

Chapter 13 - Love Her Or Not?

Esther's POV

I wished that Callie would let me out to go to the mall, otherwise I would have got her a friendship bracelet, because she was just a friend to me, nothing else. I kind of do love her, but it was just embarrassing in my opinion. To have a real life vampire with you...was so strange and odd. Was I making much sense? 

I was almost ashamed, actually...

"What's up, butterfly?" she asked me, cutting me off from my deep thoughts about her. I let out another yawn, realising that I wasn't fully ready for bed yet. I was still wearing my daytime clothes. I looked up at Callie, which made her frown for some reason. She knew what was wrong. 

"I don't think there is any other way to ask this, but...are we official? You know, girlfriends?" I asked her. She let out a sigh, "Well, I am not completely sure. Do you want to be official with me?" she replied with the same question thrown back at me to answer. I felt a bit stunned. I didn't know what to answer.

"I have no idea. There are some times...especially last night...I started to have some little feelings which was love," I began to explain to her, which made her smile but I knew our friendship could come crashing down at any moment. I just need to tell her the truth. "I don't think I am ready for a full relationship. I wasn't sure about my sexuality either, until you came along and sorted that out for me. I'm sorry." I finished telling her.

After my explanation, everything just went quiet. I was just staring at her, watching for her reaction. But, there was no reaction. Her eyes just turned into a dark purple before she let out a small inhale before letting out a deep exhale. "That's understandable. I am glad that I sorted out your sexuality problems..." she said before I watched her suddenly vanish like a magician. 

I felt a few tears begin to sting in my eyes, making me blink them away. I didn't mean to hurt her feelings. I just wasn't really ready for a relationship even though we kissed on the blood moon. I...I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't want to live here, but I got no choice as I had nowhere else to go.

I snapped out of my trance before I took off my daytime clothes which was a pair of jeans  and a rather disgusting beige t-shirt. I walked over to the wardrobe, opened it and immediately saw the black horrifying robe just next to my pale blue night dress. I took out my night dress before removing it from the hanger. Just about I was to close the wardrobe, I realised that there was actually two black robes instead of one. Since when did that get there? 

I was probably just imagining it, so I fully closed it and slipped the night dress over my head, letting it fall on my body. I felt so bad for what I have said to Callie, but it was the truth. Nothing can change that. 

I laid down on the bed before I closed my eyes, falling into a nice sleep.
