Chapter 43 - Dance Night

"Zane?"

I could hear my name being called, it was faint, almost a whisper. Maybe it was my imagination? I honestly didn't know but the only thing my eyes were locked on was Claire, the image of her holding another branch or anything wooden clouding my head, thoughts of hitting her again wanting to break through me. I was snapped out of what seemed to be a personal hell dream when Chris's hand grasped my shoulder, slightly nudging me. My eyes turned to face him, darkened from the hatred of her. I blinked at least 5 times before my vision stopped being a bit blurry.

"You alright?" I heard him speak, I shook my head and rubbed my eyes as they stung like crazy, it felt like my eyes had been paralyzed opened for hours.

"Y-yeah, I'm good. Just tired." I replied, opening my mouth to fake a yawn. "I better go catch up to Jay. Maybe I'll see you tomorrow at the dance?" I asked curiously, Chris gave me a heartwarming smile.

"Yeah sure. See you then." Chris reassured me so I clearly knew I'd get to see him there hopefully, I turned my head and ran off to get my lunch and meet Jay, Samantha and Xylo at our little corner as I tried to ignore the fact that Claire and Melissa were obviously just behind Chris. Once I got to my locker I quickly grabbed my food, I had some pasta that was leftover in the fridge so that was yummy. I looked around in case one of the three guys were roaming around on the way and when I couldn't see any I rushed to the little corner to find all of them chilling there and chatting. I heard Samantha ask something about me so I paused behind the wall and listened.

"Soo, how much do you love Zane?" I heard Samantha ask with a giggle. Xylo let out a soft chuckle.

"I love him more than anything, I love him enough to marry him."

"Awe!!!!" Samantha squealed, my face fell full of blush and love as a huge smile crossed my lips, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. I love you enough to marry you too babe. I faintly chuckled to myself before taking a breath and walking out from the corner, acting as If I had heard nothing.

"Why is Samantha squealing? Did Veronika ask her out?" I asked cheekily, looking at Xylo with a light grin, just imagining us getting married. I knew he had the exact same thought about it as me but he didn't know I knew.

"Oh lord no, they're talking about their futures and whatnot," Jay explained, I rolled my eyes and walked over and sat down next to Xylo, leaning my head down onto his shoulder as I opened my thermos and ate my pasta with my fork. I looked up at Xylo and he was just chilling and looking at Samantha's and Jay who were just casually talking about school and homework and all.

"You hungry?" I asked softly, placing my thermos on the grass with my fork in it. Xylo turned his head to look at me.

"A bit, I should be alright," Xylo replied.

"Did you even drink yesterday? Expect what I had given you?" I asked worried and concerned, I did give him some from my system but not as much as I normally would.

"Oh right, I fed off one of the deer's in the woods yesterday. I honestly prefer your blood, It has been ages since I last drank animal blood." He explained, I nodded, opening my mouth to say something but hesitating to say my words as I held my wrist up to his mouth.

"Just take what you need, I'm pretty sure the last blood taste you'd want in your mouth is animal," I said with a light chuckle, finding it amusing that vampires had a blood preference. 

"You sure?"

"Yeah, go ahead," I assured, moving my wrist a little closer to his mouth. Xylo lightly parted his lips and let his fangs out, holding my arm softly before sinking his fangs in, making me let out a low groan. Jay and Samantha looked towards us to my sudden sound. I looked at them and gave them a soft nod to let them know I'm fine. I bit my bottom lip and watched Xylo as the heated pleasure bubbled up from him biting me. "Mm." I softly hummed as my head fell back against the wall, my eyes softly closed to the pleasurable feeling. Eventually, Samantha and Jay started talking again so it didn't make Xylo nor me feel weird about having him feed off of me in front of them. Once Xylo took his fangs out, using his tongue to lick the blood off his lips he looked at me and softly kissed my head.
