Katerina and Her Darkness

Chapter 18

Beth's Pov

"Do I have to have dinner with your mom tonight?" I asked Tobias for the hundredth time this evening. 

"Yes, K." Tobias laughed. "Come on, the food is awesome, and my mom is super kind."

Yes, as you can see, I was about to have my first dinner with vampires. Moreover, the Queen of vampires. The strange thing is Tobias never talked about her father, and I was not going to ask him if he did not want to talk about it. He deserved to have some privacy of his past. 

"That felt so~ good," I exclaimed happily as I walked out of the shower with a huge bath towel around me.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it." Tobias said and in a "whoosh", he was standing right in front of me. He tucked a strand of wet hair behind my right left ear. "You are so beautiful."

"Oh my God, Tobias," I said in embarrassment. "Keep it together."

"Why should I?" Tobias answered challengingly. Before I was able to react, his right hand was on my waist, and in a grip, he pulled me toward him. My body bumped right into his, and all I was able to do at the time was staring at his gorgeous face. His eyes were glued to mine, and through his eyes, I could tell he was totally enjoying himself. He had this stupid smirk on his face, and I bet I just looked like a tomato.

"You need to stop doing that," I said trying to sound offended, but my body was doing the very opposite. The crazy thing was that I couldn't' stop myself. 

My heart was racing, and I couldn't breathe, in a good way. 

If you know what I mean...

Without processing anything in my head, I tiptoed as high as I can. Tobias in return lowered his head, little by little, our head, no, our lips got closer and closer. My eyes couldn't leave his lips, and the more I looked, the more I lost control of myself. Our lips were about half an inch away when someone opened the door.

Damn it!

"I brought your dress for tonight's dinner, my lady." 

Damn you, Irina.

"Aw, you also look so beautiful when you're angry," Tobias said jokingly. Here I was, being angry at the fact that our little "moment" was ruined, while he was just laughing his ass off.

"Go away," I said and pushed him away. Holding onto my bath towel tightly, I walked over to Irina who was silently waiting for me. "Thanks."

"Let's save it for another time, love," Tobias said, as he stressed the word "it", obviously talking about the kiss that never happened.

"Who wants to kiss you." I sassed.

"I never mentioned the word 'kiss'". Tobias half sang, and walked out of the room.

"Such a dick," I said to myself.

After what felt like hours, I was finally ready. If Irina was not stuck here as a prisoner, I would totally convince her to be a makeup artist or Clothe designer. Seriously, she's got the sense of style that I always had, and oh, don't even let me get started on the makeup. She was totally professional. However, think about it, she had to be good enough to be a freaking Queen's personal maid, so yea... She better be this good.

She was, however, extremely quiet the entire time. She only said what she had to say, such as "Is this dress too tight?", "Are you ok with this lipstick?", "Are you ok with this brand of foundation?", and in the end, she said in a very robotic tone, "You look gorgeous, my lady, please follow me to the dining room. Our walk to the dining room was also very quiet and... Awkward.
