Chapter 50: The invite

Maddie.

A year ago

"Come on."

Caitlin pulls me into the house of the party and excitement kicks in. I have missed him, call me crazy. I know I don’t even know him, apart from who he really is but I feel like we could be a power couple—of course that is when he finally turns me and I can become one of his kind.

I’ve imagined being a vampire. Would I look the same? Would I be prettier? Pale skin and sparkling eyes. I crave everything that comes with being one of them and the closer I am to Alanis, the closer I feel all my dreams coming true.

The music is loud but all I need are my eyes to find him. He has a crew, people he moves around with. There is the girl and his best friend Rus. Rus is a major jerk, he talks to much and I hate him but he is my future husband’s best friend so I will tolerate him.

"You’re looking for him, right?" Caitlin shouts into my ear because of the loud music.

I ignore her because I don’t need to answer a question that she already knows the answer to. My eyes search for him but his absence in the living room of the house is frustrating me. I want to find him already "I’ll be back," I tell her not even waiting for a reply. I walk around in search of him. The kitchen is free of Alanis, so I go up the stairs and into all the rooms. People have claimed most of the rooms in the house already. I am used to this; a typical high school party is for hooking up. I am not interested in hooking up with anyone but Alanis, I want him to want me. Crave me so much that he wouldn’t be able to control himself.

I want him at his weakest and most vulnerable state.

Jack a boy from school notices me and a frown creeps up to my face hoping he doesn’t come up to me. I don’t need his bullshit right now. I know Jack peters has a crush on me. He wants someone that totally doesn’t even have time for his kind. I don’t have any interests in dating anyone normal.

"Hi Mads." he mutters nervously.

I manage a smile because I still put up a front in front of everyone. No one knows this side of me and don’t plan on showing it to anyone. "Hi Jack."

"You looking for someone?" his eyes follow the direction of my eyes. Alanis is nowhere to be found. Where is he?

"No, looking for the bathroom."

It’s a lie, I know. Sue me.

"That door," he points and I see a long line. "I can wait with you as you wait for the line to clear up."

I can’t seem to escape him. "Uh, it’s fine. You don’t have to." I walk to the end of the line and he follows me. The fact that my lie put me in this mess makes me angrier.

"I want." he rests his back on the wall and smiles at me "So, you owe me a dance after this."

Somehow, he thinks he is doing me a favor, I wish he’d leave already. I don’t even have to go to the bathroom.

"Hey mads." I look up from the shock of whoever called me and Alanis is standing right next to me with a cool smile plastered on his face. I have been looking for him and somehow, I didn’t even notice him come up to us.

"H..Hi" I stutter.

He chuckles "There’s an empty bathroom downstairs," he says loud enough for me and Jack to hear. Jack coughs nervously pissed that Alanis is here and interrupting us.

"Show me to it?" I tell him grabbing him by his arm and walking away from Jack. Jack doesn’t follow us and I smile satisfied that he took a hint. I can’t believe I am holding Alanis Dravon the vampire. The smile on my face says it all and as we get downstairs, he stops "You’re safe now." he tells me with a sense of accomplishment.

"Safe from what?" I furrow my brows in question.

"From the guy upstairs. You don’t have to pretend to want to go to the bathroom." he starts to walk over to the other direction but I grab his arm again "How did you know?"

He chuckles "I read your mind," it is supposed to be a joke but I know that wouldn’t be the craziest thing to happen. He is being sincere but disguising it as a joke.

He fucking read my mind.

After the breakup.

That night when I finally connected with Alanis at the party was the best thing that ever happened to me. The fact that he was so charming and sweet at the same time made me feel like I hit the jackpot. I just needed him for his abilities, I needed him to turn me but the fact that I ended up getting love made me feel euphoric.

I felt on top of the world.

He read my mind that night but that was the last time I thought about anything I didn’t want him to hear. I knew it could be a disadvantage if he found out about my plans. I wanted him to think that I liked him and just wanted to be with him, he couldn’t know that I knew about his powers.

At some point, I planned to make him trust me enough. That didn’t happen because he never opened up to me. A year passed us by and he didn’t tell me the one thing I wanted to hear. He kept it from me until the break up and somehow, he expects me to be happy for him that he found someone else.

"Get up and dance with me," Caitlin grabs my hand in hers and pulls me off the stool. There is 80’S music blaring from the boombox at a far corner but no one is dancing. Caitlin is already drunk; she is as drunk as I knew she would be by the end of the night. I haven’t been able to drink. Mystery man has been staring at me, and I can’t seem to take my eyes off him.

His lips tilt upward when I stand up and I know he wants me to dance. I am wearing a skimpy dress—the one Caitlin brought out of my closet. It is so short that if I bend down just a little bit, he would be able to see everything. Just the fact that he is watching me is turning me on.

Caitlin whines her waist to the music and I follow her as she pulls me closer pressing into me "There is a totally hot guy checking you out," my eyes are glued to the mystery man, I know she is talking about him. I can’t take my eyes off him either. His hair is sprawled over his face in a sexy I don’t care way. I have never seen anybody more beautiful in my life.

"You’re staring too," she giggles in amusement.

"He’s hot," I exclaim.

"You should talk to him."

I shake my head in refusal because I am nervous. This is not some high school boy, he is all man, the fact that someone like that could even want me seems impossible. I will wait until he comes to me, I am not doing the chasing this time. Time flies and I watch Caitlin make a fool of herself, she is at the point where I can say she is wasted.

"I need to go to the bathroom," she informs me, slipping her arms from around my neck.

I watch her leave and take strides to the bar. Mystery man is still watching me, his eyes stay glued to me so as I sit down next to him, satisfaction crawls on his face "Can I have another glass of tequila," I can feel myself getting on the edge.

Maybe this is not such bad thing, getting drunk and forgetting about it all. I don’t want to think about Alanis and the fact that I lost everything I have always wanted. There is a cute guy next to me that can make me forgot about Alanis and his selfishness.

"Your friend seems to be enjoying herself," he points out and this is the first time I am hearing his voice all evening and it is everything I expected. Deep and alluring, there is a husk to it that pulls me in completely in a take-me-I’m-yours way.

"Yeah, she is energetic," I manage as I try to catch my breath. The alcohol is kicking in and I am the type of drunk that gets really emotional. I hope I don’t freak him out before I even get to know him.

"You don’t seem to want to be here,"

I nod because I would rather be anywhere but here right now—preferably in bed under the covers. I still feel pretty sad and angry at myself for everything that has happened but somehow, I know this man will be the highlight of my night.

"Kinda going through a bad break up," I mutter and instantly slap myself internally for even uttering those words. Why am I being so honest?

What is he doing to me?

"So, what happened in this break up?" he asks and the expression on his face shows complete interest, like he genuinely wants to know what happened between us.

"Long story."

With a smile, he leans forward and whispers in my ear, it makes my skin crawl in a good way "Good thing I have all the time in the world."
