After eating the rest of the pasta Evan was kind enough to pay for everything and we headed back out. "Where are we going?" I ask while we turn into a street I wasn't familiar with. Evan held my hand the whole walk back to wherever he was taking me. "I thought we'd like some time alone." He turns to look at me, giving me a wink. "You know how I feel being around that John guy." I chuckle while elbowing him against the ribs. "Leave him alone he's a great friend." "And a waste of space." "Come' on Evan! That attitude of yours isn't going to win anything." He laughs tilting his head back and that moment of looking at him, he seemed so beautiful. "Well John isn't going to win you... ever." He grabs my waist, turning me and facing me towards a building. "Let's go." He gestures as we walk into the hotel. "You sneaky little shit." I joke and he kisses my shoulder. We round up to the front desk while Evan checks in the room he got. The lady hands us the card and we take the elevator. "So any ideas for tonight?" Evan wiggles his eyebrows and I bite my bottom lip. "I don't know maybe cuddle and watch some movies." I slowly approach him because he was leaning against the other wall in the elevator. I lean up on him tracing my finger along his jawline. "Maybe sleep." I joke meanwhile Evan rolls his eyes. "We could have easily done that at Chandler's." "Mhm it's okay." I whisper close to his face. Evan tries to lean in to kiss me but the elevator stops and the doors open. I move away because two people were walking in and it was our level to leave. Evan finds our room number and he scans the card, the door unlocking and allowing us inside. When we walk in it was a one bed room with a small kitchen closet and a small bathroom. I stand in the middle, gasping at the beautiful view outside the large window that takes up one of the walls. The lights from every building was mesmerizing and the vampires walking amongst the streets look like little ants. "Want anything to drink?" Evan asks me and I turn around to see him standing a couple of feet away from me with two glasses in his hand. "I recommended some wine up here." He opens the doors which is a miniature kitchen inside and in one of the cabinets is a bottle of wine. "Thanks for the thought but no I'm good." Evan shrugs at my comment and opens the bottle, pouring some in one of the glasses. He takes a sip of it and cringes at the taste. "Man I've always hated wine. I just thought it'd look romantic if I got it." I laugh at his stupidness and he embarrassedly grins at me. "Well that was a waste of money." I reply back with a smirk and Evan slowly walks towards me. "It was worth a try." He whispers in my ear then brings his cold lips down onto my bare shoulder and presses a kiss. I let out a soft sigh of satisfaction... of his lips on my bare skin. "Evan..." I whisper as he trails soft kisses along my neck to my cheek. "Sh-" He presses his index finger on my lips and I look into his warm eyes. "No more talking." His voice was low and sexy like thick velvet. Nothing could stop him. I peck at his finger before he puts it down and kisses me softly with his lips. We were both hungry for more, craving for each other's body. I wanted this for months but I never knew what it was. I bring my hands around his neck to bring him closer to me. He's cold but with my body heat, it's electricity. Evan grabs the loops of my shorts where the belt is suppose to be and pulls me onto him. I graze my fingers over his hair and I tug it gaining a groan from him. He strokes my cheeks before running them down my shoulders and pulling at the collar of my shirt. I bring my hands down to his torso and I take a couple of steps back, tumbling to the bed. I sit on it and Evan towers over me. We part for a second both of us smiling at each other. He brings his shirt over his head, taking of off while I take off mine. I unbuckle his belt while taking it off his jeans. Evan falls on me and we kiss and kiss and kiss. He tasted like wine from when he drank it before. Our tongues were fighting for dominance and our bodies grind against each other. I slide to get fully on the bed and Evan runs his hands over my breasts that were covered from my bra and down to my bare stomach. I feel him run his fingers over my scars, feeling the ridged area on my smooth skin. I pull away from his already swollen lips and I look down at my body. "They'll always be there." I whisper remembering the anguish suffering I was in. Evan is hovering over me but looks down at the scars. "They represent you Adeline. From every battle you fought. Don't be embarrassed." "I'm not." I reply back before pulling him back down for another long deep meaningful kiss. I feel his fingers over my shorts and unbuttons them. I help him take them off and I'm left in my undergarments. I get aroused quickly when he places hard hungry kisses on my neck and sucks on my sweet spot. When he takes off his jeans I wrap my legs around his torso, letting him fall on me. Soon after that, everything else on our bodies came off. I gave him permission as he kissed every inch of my body and thrusted in me slowly. It wasn't lust that overcame us young teenagers. It was the need we have for each other the clinginess we haven't felt for months. The disparity we had for those long months and we needed to end it. To feel our bodies touch and the spark that ignites in us. The feeling of love and our lips pressed against each other. The heavy breathing we share when we are done and cuddle together in a mess of bedsheets. I was wrong. I thought no one was able to repair the dark soul I have. Evan is the one who can find the light in me and repair me back to normal. Awakening me to the girl I was when I first met him. ~~~~ Chandler's POV: I sit at the kitchen table while watching John stare down at his dinner that has gotten cold. He anxiously looks at the clock every time a minute passes. "Do you think-" "John, they're okay." I assure him with a smile so he doesn't feel uncomfortable. "But how about if those people go after them." "They're demons and they aren't allowed to be in the vampire world." John sighs and places his fork down. I gesture at his food with my hand. "You should at least finish-" "I'm not hungry. I'm okay." I purse my lips into a thin line and John slouches back in his chair. I think about all the questions John asked me about Adeline and Evan. If they're going to be okay or when they're going to be home. I kept on telling him that they're okay but deep down I'm worried if Evan will hurt Adeline. "You want more water?" I ask and John sighs. "Let me get this straight." He skips my question and leans against the table. "You're Adeline's adoptive father? But not really adoptive? Because she has adoptive parents in the human world." "I'm her guardian." I correct and he nods his head. "And she's human but her parents aren't." "Correct." I reply. John thinks long and hard, probably wondering if now is the best time to ask me more questions. "Listen, you're just a regular human guy." "Yes I know that." John strongly says and I lick my lips, inhaling deeply. "If you don't like the position you're in, I can take you back to the human world where you are more important in." I know he's Adeline's friend but being here can cause him in a lot of danger. Evan doesn't like him at all and I don't want to drag around another boy. He's human and from someone who was human like me I don't want him to be in a situation that doesn't involve him. I just don't want to bring home a dead boy to a pair of loving parents and shatter their hearts. "As much as I would appreciate that, I'm going to bring down that offer." John kindly says and I furrow my eyebrows. "W-why? Don't you want to finish senior year with friends and go out like a normal teenager?" John snaps his eyes towards mine and I stop. "Adeline has been my friend and was my girlfriend. I've come this far and I can't just drop everything and forget about it. I can't disappoint Adeline and leave her alone. Even if we have different feelings for each other I don't care. I'll look after her and make sure that she's okay. Even if that Evan dude gets in the way." I look away and I nod my head. "Yeah, yeah I understand." I reply back to end the conversation. From the corner of my eye I sense John staring at me before grabbing his fork and eating the rest of his cold food. I smack the table lightly to get his attention and he looks up at me. I slide off my seat and I stand up from sitting. I look at the clock once more just like John and I sigh. I grab my glass, placing it in the sink before walking back towards the table. "I'm gonna head to bed, I'll give you an extra blanket for tonight." John nods his head and when he finished swallowing his food he responded with a thank you. "I'll turn off the lights." John adds and I stop from turning off the living room light. "Are you going to bed soon?" He shakes his head. "No I'm gonna wait until she comes home." I bite the inside of my cheek seeing him look up at the clock quickly and back down at his food. ~~~~
