CHAPTER 13
1071 Words
ZAPPHIRE: I had brought Mattie upstairs to my bedroom, he had passed out after he said my name, I tried to bring him up by myself, but the girls said I still needed to rest. I had told them on the way up, what had happened after I had drank Matthew's blood. Tori was so happy I had did that, but Mel didn't seem to miss my wording and mind linked me saying we would be talking about it later.
Now I was with Mattie, laying down in my bed and I cuddled into him, breathing in his scent, just waiting for him to wake up. I was getting worried, vampires don't sleep, but if their body goes through something extreme, it forces itself to shut down. I reached up to Mattie's face with my fingertips and caressing his face. I felt terrible for still hiding things from him, but I wasn't ready to explain Drake, nor was I ready to explain my almost rejection. But I'll get there, I swore to myself, I have to do this for him though. I placed a gentle kiss on his lips and then settled myself in his arms and let myself drift into sleep. Finally, after all this time, I was able to finally have a good nights rest.
MATTHEW: I felt someone squirming against me, as I opened my eyes, I found Fire trying to turn around. I gently assisted her, and she ended up shoving her back to my front. Well that's great, I thought, looking down and groaning. I looked down at my Fire, she was sleeping peacefully. Her beautiful blue black hair was shinning in the moonlight coming in from her window, her long dark lashes, and her gorgeous pink lips puckered out. She's just how I remembered her, I remember the day she came into my fathers inn, I couldn't believe someone as beautiful as her existed. Why'd she take away my memory? Just to protect me from who ever hurt me? Why don't I remember that still? It's still like I'm missing pieces. But I do remember my Fire, I remember how she made me feel, all our dates, how I feel in love with her, the sparks I even still felt as human, just not anything about me being hurt. I sighed, "Zapphire you naughty girl, always getting around things." I whispered softly, after I leaned down to kiss her forehead. She stirred slightly, slowly she fluttered her beautiful blue eyes open, looking up at me. "How long have you been awake?" She asked, trying to get up, but I shifted and hovered over top of her, and pinned her down. Now, that I know she knows about the whole mating bond, what all it entails, our past back, I'm not gonna hold myself back, I'm gonna do what comes naturally to me. She still blushed, and tried to look away from me. "Do I make you uncomfortable love?" I asked her, she shook her head and pecked my lips. She tried going back down to lay her head down, but I didn't allow her. I grabbed her and positioned us so we were sitting up, I was holding the back of her head and waist. "Can I kiss you again? It's been way to long." She laughed at me. "I just kissed you, not even a minute ago." I shook my head, giving her a playful smirk, and kissed her anyways. She put her hands on both sides of my face and pulled me down on top of her, then pulled my mouth open with hers, and explored my mouth. She tasted very sweet, and honestly, the way she was kissing me was making me dizzy. She pulled away suddenly and I rolled over top of her to lay next to her and tried to catch my breath. "Well, I wasn't expecting that." I said, after catching my breath. She giggled and rolled over on her side, looking at me. "I haven't been with you like that in many years, of course I'm gonna take advantage of it." I rolled back over on my side, looking back at her. "We do need to talk still Fire." She bit her lip and looked down. "Hey, hey, hey," I said lifting her chin up. "I've been without your beautiful face for so long, don't hide it from me love." She snuggled into my chest and breathed in my scent, I started rubbing circles into her back trying to help calm herself down more. "Do you hate me?" She asked. I kissed her forehead. "No, I wish you didn't do what you did, but I can understand what you did, I would do anything to protect you." She nodded. But still would not show her face, and I could feel her still tense. "Zapphire, really I'm not upset with you. I'm just happy to have you back in my arms again." I kissed her head, and I could see her slowly start to loosen up a little bit. "Can we make this work again Mattie? Can we really go back to the way we were before?" I continued rubbing her back, thinking about it. Could we? "I don't think we can go back to how exactly we were before," I felt Fire stiffen again. "Hey, let me finish love!' She nodded, and gripped onto me tighter. "Love, I'm a vampire now, and now to find out you are a siren. I just mean our relationship is going to be a little complicated from now on." She looked up at me, and the look on her face just teared at my heart. "What about Izabel's coven? From the look I've seen of her daughter, I will not be accepted, and I don't want to take you away from your family." I rested my forehead on hers, and breathed in her scent. "Actually, it'll be our coven." She jumped and sat up, giving me a weird look and I laughed. "What are you talking about Mattie?" I sat up with her and caressed her check with my hand. "It'll be our coven in a few weeks, if you'll have me that is. And I promise, our coven will love you. We can make this work." She nodded, and leaned in to kiss me again. I really hope we can make this work, because I can't live without this. Not again.
