They Are Not Ordinary

CHAPTER 25

ASHTER STARR

"Sweetheart is okay?" I heard my mom turning the doorknob but failing because I locked it.

Damn it's a good thing I locked it.

I heard my mom's footsteps subsided as she walk back to their room.

I breathe out a sigh of relief and I look at Damien who had a smirk on his face.

"Wipe that smirk off your face it's not funny," I told him as I clutched my heart. I was so nervous I can even hear my own heartbeat.

"It's funny, you should have seen your face" Damien let out a small laugh. Then started to cup my face again "Now where are we?"

"No we should slee-" I was cut off when Damien smashed our lips together. He initiated it this time. I was shocked at first but started to move my lips against his.

"Hmm" I hummed into our kiss and pulled away for a second "I'm so gonna get used to this," I told him and he smiled as he connected our lips again. I swear Butterflies are swarming in my stomach as his plump lips are placed against mine.

Suddenly I heard some jangling keys from outside my door and I heard a barely audible click coming from the door as if someone has unlocked it. Then before I could react my doorknob is slowly turning.

"s**t" I immediately moved away from Damien's lap and started to push him out of the bed making a small thud.

I rushed to lay down on my bed and pretend to sleep. I tucked myself in my blanket as quickly as I could before closing my eyes and opening them up for a little bit to see who is coming inside my room.

I heard the door creaking open, when it open widely I saw my mom in her sleeping suit as she stepped inside my room and looked around.

I completely shut my eyes this time hoping that she would go away when she will see me sleeping.

"Sweetie?" I felt my mom shake me a bit.

Shit.

Well, I don't have any choice,  I guess I have to play along.

"Hmm-- what?" I faked a sleepy voice as I slowly flutter my eyes open and rubbed them tiredly.

"Oh I'm sorry honey I didn't know you were sleeping," My mom said as she turned on my night light "it's super dark in here so I didn't notice"

"Hmm" I hummed in response.

"Anyways I just thought to come by and visit you since when I went to the bathroom earlier I heard some noises coming from this room, like some moaning or something I don't know, are you having nightmares again sweetie?" My mom asked worriedly and I immediately felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment.

Shit. I didn't know we are that loud.

"Y-yeah... I-i was having a nightmare" I stuttered. Fuck...

"Ohh sweetie I'm sorry" My mom pulled me in a hug

"It's alright mom I will just go back to sleep," I told her, hoping that this time she would finally leave.

"Okay sweetie, I'll be right next door when you need me okay?" My mom kissed my forehead before finally leaving my room.

I watch her as she closes the door. I waited a few minutes just to make sure she made her way to their room. When I heard their bedroom door close I immediately scrambled out of my bed to check Damien who was hiding under the bed.

"Damien!" I yelled whispered then his head pooped out and it honestly made me scared a bit. Ever since I was a kid I was afraid that one day something will come out under my bed. But I sighed in relief when it was Damien.

I watch him as he wiggled out under my bed. He was clutching his wound and he was groaning in pain.

"Oh my god I am so sorry for pushing you, I didn't mean to do that. I panicked" I apologized sincerely as I held out my hand to help him get up.

"It's okay" He brushed off as he appreciatively took my hand and help him get up. Once he got up Damien dusted his shirt and pants before laying down in my bed again.

I heard him laughing at my side.

"Why are you laughing?" I snapped my head towards him. Giving him a playful glare.

"I don't know it's just funny seeing you get flustered and embarrassed in front of your mom" He commented as he continue to laugh. Which made me smile because I had never seen this side of him.

"Nightmare huh?" He smirked at me and I playfully slapped him in the arm. Which really doesn't hurt him. "That's the best excuse you got?"

"Shut up, If you were in that situation you wouldn't be laughing at all" I playfully rolled my eyes at him

"I'm sorry" He whispered.

"Oh don't be, it's alright, I should be the one to apologize to you because I pushed you on the ground" I assured him.

"No, sorry for making fun of you"

"I told you it's okay, no biggie" I smiled at him as I took his hands and intertwined them with mine.

We stayed like that for a while and I started to yawn and so did Damien. He looks like he was about to pass out.

I thought vampires never sleep?

Then I remembered what Zachary had told me about the antidote they gave him, it's now affecting Damien.

"You should rest" He spoke as he was forcing his eyes to stay open. I let go of his hand as it was kinda making me cold.

"We should" I stated as I looked at him and he nodded before he made himself comfortable in my bed.

I got up and went to my nightstand to close the lights that mom opened earlier. The light of the moon shined in enough to make me see as I made my way back to my bed. I tuck myself in the blankets and sighed in relief that I could finally rest.

I turn over and saw Damien was already passed out. I chuckled quietly before I yawned once more. I stayed in my position making sure that Damien wouldn't be awake from his sleep. When I saw him breathing steadily. I scooted close to him and rested my head in his chest.

I cuddled up against him and I sighed happily.

I was about to fall asleep but then suddenly all of the events that had to happen earlier hit me and I felt my cheeks blush and my stomach erupting a thousand butterflies.

I kissed Damien...

Holy s**t

I kissed Damien Lockwood.

I touched my lips with my fingertips and a big smile appeared on my lips.

Even though we almost got caught it was still the best day ever...

I glanced at Damien and he looks so perfect. The moonlight hitting his skin makes him look like art made by god. Even in his sleeping state, he is still beautiful.

My eyes flickered down to his lips and without hesitation, I quickly kissed them. I already missed the sensation, so you can't blame me.

Then finally I went back to my previous position and cuddled beside him. I don't really care if he is extremely cold, I just want to be beside him.

My eyes fluttered close as I let sleep finally take over my body

-

"Okay lovebirds, it's time to wake up" I heard a deep voice fill my ears and I felt the blanket get removed so I felt kinda cold but I ignored it and continued to my sleeping. Besides its Saturday today, it's a lazy day.

After still not moving, I heard footsteps move and the next thing I knew, the sun's beaming light shined through my eyes causing me to whine dramatically as I blindly reach for the blanket again and when I touched the thick cloth I immediately cover myself in it preventing the sun to shine into my face.

I felt tugging on my shoulder as I groaned annoyingly.

"Go away Zachary, leave me be I still need sleep" I whined, my voice muffled by the cover.

"Uhm it's Claude" I heard a different voice beside me.

"I don't care just let me sleep" I curled up closer to Damien and buried my face onto his neck. Even though Damien is cold and so is the air I would still cuddle with him. You can't argue with me.

"Geez" I heard Claude say as I heard him walk away which made me smile.

"We need to go now come on" Zachary sighed, irritation was visible in his voice as we are still not planning on getting up.

"Fine" I slowly flutter my eyes open and look up to see that Damien's eyes are already open as he stares at mine. I smiled at him sleepily.

"Good morning" I greeted. My voice sounded hoarse due to just waking up.

"Morning" he greeted back softly.

"Okay... Come on Damien let's move we don't have much enough time" Zachary spoke again but this time it's more gentle.

"Just wait, I still need time to get up since my body feels weird. It's like I haven't slept for years" Damien ranted while yawning.

"That's because you really haven't slept," Claude remarked.

After a long minute of Zachary nagging and scolding us for still not getting up and I was protesting back since it's Saturday they are ruining my long sleep day while Damien and Claude just laid there watching and enjoying the bickering.

In a few minutes, we finally got up.

"God finally" Zachary sighed.

I watch as they gathered all their belongings. I bit my lip as the feeling finally sink on me. I wasn't going to see them for 2 weeks.

"Okay everything is settled we should get going now," Zachary said as they made their way to the window.

"Wait! Bring me with you!" I yelled for them. Catching the three of them by surprise.

"Ashter, don't m-" Damien was about to say something but Zachary raised his palm, stopping Damien.

"You and I both know we can't do that" He stated.

"That's bullshit, why can't I go with you?"I asked confused "Let me come with you since I know what happened maybe I can be a help"

"Because we can't bring you to where we're going, it's dangerous for you and for us, besides, you will miss everything... School, your parents, your friends." He said sternly. "Everyone will suspect and we can't risk that so don't be stubborn Ashter"

"Please Zach" I begged putting up a pouty face. He sighed as he rubbed his temples annoyingly. He looked over to Claude and he nodded, they looked at the clock before looking back at me.

"We are giving you both two hours" He simply said.

"Two hours?" I asked confused.

"We are giving you two hours to say goodbye to each other, not a second less or more. That's the deal. Take it or leave it" He told me in a serious voice and I nodded in defeat well I guess we have to make the most of it.

"So I can't just come with you guys?"

"No you can't, please just think about it and you will understand, I thought you are smart so don't make foolish decisions, you beg all you want we are not going to bring you. You should be more grateful that I'm giving you these two hour so don't waste it time is ticking" He said Claude and him jumped off my window and in just a second they are gone.

I looked at Damien who looked puzzled as I am at what happened.

"Well let's make the most of it" He looked at me and softly smiled.

"So what should we do?" I asked him as we sat back on the bed.

"I don't know why are you asking me," He shrugged "you are the one that is good in this fun activity stuffs"

"Fine then" I sighed as I think about what we could do in the next two hours.
