Chapter frikken 20 people!!! - Can I get another . . . Kiss?
Recap of Chapter 19
Great, fan-frikken-tastic! Just great! Now how the hell am I going to eat this in front of Kieran, without him knowing that I may not eat human food! Well, I have digested alcohol so what's human food going to do? Maybe I should just try, right? I mean, I'm already dead so why not just try something against the rules that Chad and Clayton probably made up.
I shrugged and unwrapped the yellow wrapper and held the cheese burger into my hands.
Here goes hey.....
Chapter 20...
I slowly moved the burger towards my slightly open, waiting mouth. Wondering if maybe this was a bad idea or not. If it was, then at least I get to see why I can't eat human food and I'll won't if it turns me ugly or something.
What? My face has reputation to uphold here!!!
Every time I move it closer to my mouth, I can see Kieran watching me with a weird expression on his face at how I'm doing this in slow motion. He already had eaten his fried chips and is onto his burger now, but he paused for a moment to long and was just waiting for me to eat this human-burger.
Where is Chad when you need him? I thought grimly to myself. In all the times he comes in the awkward, uncomfortable, hard, stressful moments, why isn't he here to save me now? He is my maker and he's supposed to rescue me in threatening times like these!!
Come to think if it, wasn't he following us just now from school?
I paused my movements and scanned the area for a hot, creepy, suspicious looking vampire Chad, hiding behind dustbins. Or.....a newspaper at the table next to us.
Hmm...I wonder if that is Chad?
A creepy smile played onto my lips, one that made Kieran gulp and move back in his seat. Hell, with this face I'm pulling, I would even run away!
Without looking at Kieran, I said out loud "This burger tastes soooo gooood right now, mmm" I made sure Chad heard. Actually, I think I said that a little too loud then what I was planning for because the entire restaurant paused and turned to look at me, then to the un-eaten burger in my hands, and then back to my face again with confusion.
I pulled my lips into my mouth, trying to keep my laugh in at how random I sound.
"Uh, yeah...but you haven't even eaten any of it yet" Kieran pointed out.
I groaned as the mysteries person behind the newspaper that was making no attempt to look at me but continued to read, whatever he or she was reading. Damn, I need to see if that's Chad or not!
Suddenly a thought popped into my head. I would say that that was magic because what dead girl gets thoughts? But anyways, an awesome idea popped into my head.
I mentally slapped my forehead. "Of course" I murmured to myself. Why didn't I think of it! Without wasting anytime I tilted my head up and started sniffing the air for Chad's scent. I think I got a little carried away with the sniffing because I was so in the moment of his scent drifting away with the wind, that when I stopped and looked at Kieran, he gave me an amused look.
Busted.
"Uh...what was that?" he questioned, trying to hold in his laughter. Damn, I'm the worst person to go on a date with!! Kill me now! Oh wait, I'm already dead! Groan.
I scratched the back of my neck and looked around again. His scent was here, close by. It's so close I can touch it, so where is he? Using my other power, I called him through my mind-link.
Chad, come out--come out where ever you are... I sing-songed with an evil laugh at the end.
"Hello? Sacha?" Kieran was waving his hand in front of my face.
I mentally shook my head. "Huh? What? Where? Who?" I questioned with a confused look.
He chuckled. "I was telling you that I always loved the smell of Maccie D's" he smiled shyly and blushed when he noticed the grin on my face.
I nodded, "Yeah, me too like it has this funny, addictive smell" I suddenly felt sad because I couldn't ever get to smell how MacDonalds smells. That cheesy, tomato sauce, patty smell that lingers in the air.
He must have noticed my sadness in my expression because he put his hand on mine. "You wanna talk about it?" he questioned with sincere. Probably thinking I'm thinking about some old memories about good times. Which was kinda true, but with food though.
I gave him a warm smile. "No it's nothing, I just...uh...miss my mom that's all" I lied. Shit, why the hell did I have to come up with such a lame, disgusting lie?
"You miss your mom?" said a sudden person with shock in his tone.
Kieran and I, followed the person's voice and landed on the mysteries person that was hiding behind that suspicious newspaper. And that mysteries person was....Chad! Wow, I would have never guessed!
His mouth dropped slightly open as he wasn't expecting to blow his cover.
I chuckled inwardly. Nice disguise dumb-head!
He shot me a glare and then put the newspaper done as it was at no use to him anymore as we now know who was behind it. I bet he wasn't even reading anything on it, but listening to our conversation the entire time. And what made me mad was that I was about to eat human food and he wasn't going to stop me! Human food! I repeat, HUMAN FOOD!!!
"Chad? What are you doing here?" I asked coolly, putting him in the spot light. Watching him hesitate for a second. I wanted to laugh at how cute his face looked when he was thinking really hard for an excuse.
He frowned his signature frown. And guess who he aimed it to? Kieran! No surprise there!!!
"Pffft well I'm aloud to come to MacDonald too, aren't I?" he offended himself with a fake-hurt look.
I held back a laugh and kept the spot-light on him. "Where's your food then, huh?" I innocently looked at him and slightly pouted.
Silence.
HAH!
Chad narrowed his eyes at me. "I. Already. Eaten" he said through greeted teeth, looking angry as hell! I don't know why though? Why must he be angry at me when he was the one to follow ME in the first place, like a stalker, then scowl at me like I did something wrong just because he was a lousy stalker-spy!?
I lifted my eyebrow but didn't have a chance to push for further details because Chad turned the spot-light off him by changing the subject. "So...Who's you friend?" he lifted his eyebrow at Kieran, having a bored looking in his eyes.
I coughed, knowing that I told Chad that Kieran was my cousin at the mall--when he was paying for my new clothes--so maybe he won't remember Kieran's name!?. "He...Um..." I stalled the word longer, to buy some time. Please something happen NOW so that this subject can be forgotten!!
Please!
"I'm Kieran Harley" Kieran said politely, offering his hand to Chad in a respectable way. One that Chad clearly doesn't pursuit from the way he just ignored the hand.
"Kieran? Mmm..." Chad put his finger to his chin and pretended to think. "That name sound vaguely familiar..." he stated.
Crap!
Please don't remember!
Please don't remember!!
Please DONT REMEMBER!!!
But as luck would have it, Chad sensed, or heard my thoughts and gave me a hard look.
Busted!
"Nice to actually meet one of Sasha's siblings" Chad strained a smiled and took a seat at our table, and crossing his arms over his broad, muscular chest.
Kieran gave him a confused look. "Sibling?" he questioned and slowly shook his head at Chad.
"Um...What he means is..." I paused, not really knowing what to say at this moment. Damn it! I really do need that distraction to happen like NOW or else this day is going to drag on forever.
"Yeah Sasha, what do I mean?" Chad lifted his eyebrow at me, challengingly. His pushing my limits here! Now I really regret wanting Chad to save me from eating that human food, because now I'm stuck in an awful mess!
"That....Oh my gosh was that Taylor Swift walking into McDonalds now?" I faked enthusiastic and changed the subject. Wow what a lame way to change a subject!
"Don't change the subject here!" he snapped. "What do I mean by sibling?" he frowned.
"Wow I'm pretty sure I just saw Taylor walk in there right now. Jeesh is it just me or is today such a hot day, I mean if I had known today was gonna be such a hot day I would have worn a bikini to school. Ha-ha picture that!" I laughed at my own joke, lightly slapping Chad's arm and wiping invisible tears away from my eyes as I overly laughed like a hyena.
Kieran looked between Chad and I, and then his eyes widened. "Sasha?" he questioned.
"Hmm?" I snapped my head to him with a dumb look on my face.
Kieran shifted uncomfortably in his seat and looked at the table. "Did you...Tell Chad that I'm one of your siblings?" his voice went soft, almost faintly like he was hurt.
"Yip" Chad said without hesitation, popping the 'p' letter. I shot Chad a death look which he just gave me a look that said 'explain to me, I'm also confused'.
I sighed. Hey, now is a time to fake a faint, right? Or would that be too obvious and coward of me? Plus Chad would know I'm fakin' it because dead people can't faint!
I nodded sheepishly. "Yeah..." I admitted to Kieran, "But hey," I cupped his cheeks into my hands, making him look into my eyes. "I did it because you're too special to me, for that I tried to hide you away from Chad, knowing he will take you away from me" I lied. Strangely my voice came out so seductively and might I say, very alluring to the ears.
He nodded and continued to linger his gaze into my eyes, like they were hypnotizing. That would be pretty cool! To have hypnotizing eyes like they have on The Vampire Diaries!
I snapped out of my daze from a deep growl behind me. It didn't take a physic to figure out who was growling at me.
"Sasha, tell me who is this guy? And don't say he's your cousin." Chad said in a low, dangerous tone that definitely turned me on!
I turned to look at Chad and mouthed. "He's my toy" with that I winked and turned back to Kieran that was looking confused.
I hadn't planned for Kieran to be my toy, but those words just poured out of my mouth like I have no control of what I say at the moment. Which was pretty strange.
Still holding my gaze on Kieran, I automatically leaned forward and whispered into his ear, "You wanna get out of here?" My voice was extremely seductive, alluring and by the way he slowly nodded along with a shudder, it was like he was under a spell that my voice consumed.
I smiled and got up, taking him with me.
"Where'd you wanna go, cutie?" I asked with a fake, Barbie-bitch tone. Wow, where did THAT come from? I questioned myself with amazement. I heard Chad growl again from behind me, yet I ignored it. I wasn't going to let Chad ruin my date with Kieran today, even though he already tried to sabotage it, so who cares if I'm going to ditch him now.
Kieran gulped with another shudder from my finger trailing up and down his arm. "Mind coming back to my place?" He asked with that cute, nervous tone. One that made me smile.
I nodded, "Yeah, deff! Lead the way handsome" With that confirmed he blushed and started to take my hand and walk us from McDonalds to down the road again. All the while I could feel a heavy gaze, seeping into the back of my head, giving me tingles for some unknown reason.
~~~
His house was pretty nice yet average but close by from MacDonald's. It was average like a librarian's average house. With the flowery garden and the white neatly painted porch with a grandmother swing chair and pot plants by the windowsills.
We went inside and got greeted by the lingering smell of an old lady mixed with a sweet smell of flowers. Well not that I could literally smell that, just that I'm taking a pretty small guess from the old looking knitted pillows and throw-overâs on the furniture and all the flowers hanging from the ceiling. There were pictures on the narrow passage leading to the kitchen of Kieran when he was younger. There was also a picture of him and a dog with a grandmother in the back. I'm presuming that that old lady is his grandmother that owns this house?
"Well look who it is, the future Buzz Light-year!" Said a sudden aged voice from the kitchen as Kieran entered, followed by me.
I was correct. This house did belong to a grandmother.
"Granny!" Kieran whined, embarrassment written all over his face, which by squeezing my hand a little said that he was apologizing.
"Now, now you always say Buzz's line child! Come on, where is Granny's favorite line you always say every day?" Granny asked with a cute chubby cheek smile, grabbing Kieran by the cheeks and squeezing them in her tiny wrinkled palms.
I snickered when Kieran let out a cute, goo-goo voice saying, "Buzz Light-year to the rescue," With Granny still squishing his cheeks and laughing.
"Oh my, who do we have here?" Granny asked, suddenly noticing my presents. "Kieran didn't tell me he would bring a girl over! Oo oo this is exciting! Very exciting!" She said and turned on her heel to pick up the phone behind her on the wall.
"Oh no Granny what are you doing now?" Kieran whined with shock in his tone. "Wait, are you . . ."
"Yes, I'm phoning my friends! This is something I'm sure they would love to hear about." She chirped with excitement gleaming in her kind eyes.
Kieran turned and pulled me with him up the staircase that was situated off the kitchen, while I just chuckled. He opened up the first door to the left on the top floor and quickly shut it behind me, drowning out his Granny's thrilled voice down stairs.
"I'm so so so so so so so sorry about that, really I am," Kieran apologized, brushing his hair messy with his hands.
I reached out and stopped him from messing it up more, even though he looked pretty damn good with it messy! I smiled to say that I didn't mind. "Its totally fine." I reassured him. "It's actually pretty funny" I let a laugh escape my lips.
Kieran blushed again and hid his face in his hands, looking too adorable. I pulled his hands away and made him look at me. Once our eyes connected I suddenly moved forward in my steps that I was now standing inches away from him. My finger's lightly trailing up his arm, giving him a smile. I moved more forward now so my face was close to his, and said, "Kiss me."
He gulped nervously and started to lightly shiver. With him to nervous to make the first move, I looked straight into his eyes and lead the rest of the way until my lips lightly brushed up against his soft ones.
His lips were soft. Too soft actually that it got me tempted to lick them, and so I did.
I giggled when I felt him stop breathing for more than a minute, yet I knew he was still alive. Just the sound of his beating heart could prove that if you didn't believe me. Not that I was a vampire that could actually hear humans veins pulsing through their skin. I literally could hear his heart beat and how fast it was beating at this moment.
I broke off the innocent peck and moved my head back to look at him. His eyes were closed and I saw his fingers pinching his arm.
I chuckled and stopped him. "Kieran, don't worry, this is all real you don't have to pinch yourself." His eyes slowly opened and connected with mine again.
He stared at me for awhile. Not blinking but just looking like he was figuring something out in his head by the way he slightly frowned. "Can you do that again?" He asked.
I arched my eyebrows together with confusion. "Do what?"
"Can I get another . . . kiss?" He replied, yet he didn't wait for me to say anything because he grabbed my head and brought his lips back onto mine again. This time for longer and with more aggressive passion into it that I almost couldn't remember who I was kissing . . .
WOW!
