6: Mates, Pains

Rosemarie's POV

"Hey there," Bryan's soothing voice called. Spinning me around, he gently kissed my forehead as I smiled. He gently captured me in his arms.

"Hey Bryan," I greeted, my voice slightly muffling against the crook of his neck. "So, are you going to St. Petersburg," I stated as I sniffed in the minty waft of his aftershave.

"Yeah," Bryan said, sighing. "My grandfather was a communist-Nazi general, you know.” I arched my eyebrows. He chuckled, “Don’t tell anyone, or else I’d have to kill you.” He feign a murderous look. I smiled at his adorable face. “You aren’t up for any trips?”

"Nah," I shook my head as I looked up into his hazel eyes. "I've been saving up for the trip to Paris this year end. It's my dream city to go. You know... Paris, the city of love… I’m working extra shifts to get the extra cash." I said dreamily. Bryan smiled sweetly at me. “Plus, I learned how to speak French in my junior year.”

“Maybe one day we can go together," He said as he pecked my nose. I giggled. He gave me a shy smile, “And I’m going to pay for it.” My heart melted. Why couldn’t… couldn’t Demetri be this sweet towards me?

"Have you ever been in a really dedicated and long relationship before?” I asked curiously as we made our way over to the couch.

I felt Bryan’s piercing eyes on mine as I switched on the TV. Bryan gently took my hand and pried the remote control out of my grasp before muting the TV.

“No,” he said quietly, “but I could and I would, with you, if you let me.”

I felt my heart giddily jumped in my chest as his orbs stared into mine. He leaned in and closed the gap between us before placing his lips on mine. Our kiss was delicate and sweet, and lasted for a mere minute.

"Rosemarie Smith, would you be my girlfriend?" Bryan said, grinning.

"Of course, boyfriend," I said, grinning. His eyes glistened and shone as he leaned in to kiss me again, his hands on my waist.

Oh, if only he knew my eyes were set on another boy. A taken one, at that.

 

Demetri's POV

I cursed Lily under my breath as I swallowed the pint of blood that was on my table before rubbing the disinfectant that Shelly had provided me with. Did Lily seriously kiss this forcefully? The thought of that made me smile like a fool, and I couldn’t help but feel more or less a bit turned on.

‘But then...’ I thought, ‘who the heck is she kissing?’ I thought as I choke on the blood in my throat as I felt another pain rushing up my lips.

Would it be Bryan? No, it couldn’t be, he's with Rose. Hm... other options... Dana? Hell no! She's a girl and the last time I checked, they were absolutely straight.

I hope…

So.... who would it be? A complete stranger she met at a pub? A boy she’s having secret love affair with? The thought angered me. Then I realized maybe a certain someone would know.

I got up from my seat, sighing as I rubbed my temple. I set the jug of blood down on the table before heading out the door, down the elevator, and then went to the apartment at the east corner. I knocked twice on the door, but no one came to answer it. I heard a light muttering of words behind the door, and with my advanced hearings, I knew that there was someone in the apartment, for sure.
