Chapter 37 - I want to kill him

Bella’s POV

Ian had dropped me off after breakfast, we had met mum on our way in, she was on her way out so we stopped to say hi to one another and I almost regretted that we did, the conversation we had went something like this,

“Morning mum” I said,

She looked at me weirdly, the smile on her face was too bright and wide “Good morning Isabella Mavericks” she said,

The moment she said that I knew I was in for a lot of trouble, I heard Ian chuckled beside me, it was only then I realized I hadn’t asked Ian what they told mum,

“So Isabella, can you tell me how your night went?” mum said with the smile still on her face,

Images of last night flashed in my mind and I doubt that the fact that I almost killed a man using his blood was the reason my mother was smiling like a crazy loon,

“Ummm not really” I said with a smile that I was very sure looked like something that could only be seen on the face of a constipated kitten,

“Good Morning Aunt Melissa” Ian finally decided to say something,

He walked up to Mum with a smile that looked nothing like something that belonged on a constipated kitten, it was  flawless, he whispered something in her ear that made her smile even wider, I was impressed my mother’s ability to smile like that,

After a few minutes of whispering, he stepped back and mum nodded her head and made locked lip gesture over her mouth,

It looked like they had struck a secret that I knew nothing about and from the look of things, I was the unfortunate subject of their secret.  

Mum smiled and said “ Well I will leave you two alone for now” and after giving me a weird look and giggling, mum got into her car and waved at me before driving off,

I watched her leave in stunned silence, after her car had disappeared from my view, I turned to look at Ian who was already laughing,

“What did you do?” I asked,

He shrugged his shoulders casually but he was still laughing,

I place my knuckles on my hips slowly “What did you say to her?” I asked slowly, my voice was low and deadly,

Ian stepped back slowly but he kept the smile on his face “Well I sure as hell couldn’t tell her the truth and I couldn’t lie to her as well, so I just improvised, I told her that we had gone to a bar to have a few drinks and you ended up getting so drunk that I had to take you home and since our house was closer I ended up taking you to our house and you unfortunately couldn’t handle getting so high, so you ended up being sick the whole night and I had to watch you the whole night and that’s the reason why you can’t tell her anything” he concluded and busted out laughing

And I felt like whacking him in the face with my shoe, mum was going to tease me about this for a very long time,

I ignored him and started walking toward the house, his taunting laughter followed me all the way inside and I swore sweet revenge.
