Vampire Kisses

Chapter 6: Unwanted Warnings

When I saw someone on my stoop I started to get excited. Maybe it’s Wind. I hope it is. As I got close, I could tell that it was a girl leaning against m door this time. I didn’t know too many people here yet, but she looked a little familiar, even from so far away. By that point, I knew it wasn’t wind, but I started walking faster anyway. There was someone there after all. Not the person I wanted to see but still, I didn’t want to be rude. When I got to my door, I recognized the person there. It was Yin-Mar.

I knew she looked familiar. “Hey,” I said, “what are you doing here?” I was really just trying to be polite. There was no need for me to be rude and offend her.
“Well, I think we should talk about something. Can we go inside and talk please?” I had no reason to say no.
“Sure. Let me just open the door, and we can sit in the kitchen and talk.” It took me a minute to get the door open. I hadn’t been living there very long so I still wasn’t used to the locks, or anything else for that matter. “Come on in,” I said and led her into the kitchen. We both took a seat. She sat where wind had been earlier. Seeing her there instead of him only made me miss him more. “So, what did you want to talk to me about?”
“I wanted to talk to you about someone that you’ve been spending a lot of time with in the past day.” the only person I had spent any time with had been Wind, but I decided to play dumb until I knew her intentions.
“Who are you talking about?” I hoped that I was convincing her.
“You know who. Don’t be stupid.” she was beginning to get angry and yell.
“No. I’m not. I really don’t know who you’re talking about.” She let out a loud, angry sigh.
“Wind!” she shouted at me. I don’t like you, but I want him!”
“What do you mean?”
“I saw you two. You walked to his classroom together.” she began to count off her points on her fingers. “You got out of his car earlier. He was even here waiting for you five minutes before you got home. He was waiting, but he gave up.” So he had been here.

“Look.” I said, “you can’t tell me who to talk to or who to hang out with. There’s nothing going on between up.” I hoped that that wasn’t true. “Just leave me alone.” Now I was starting to get angry. How dare she tell me who I could, and couldn’t talk to. “Why shouldn’t I see him anyway?”
“Because you don’t know him or understand him. You just met him today.”
“So what?! I know him well enough!” She clicked her tongue.
“You wish! You don’t know him at all.”
“I don’t care! You can’t stop me from seeing him, or anyone else for that matter.”
“Fine. But I warned you!”
“Please, just leave” She nodded, and walked to the door. Neither of us spoke, but she nodded down the hall at me and closed the door behind her.

I walked back into my house, to take a bath. It was really relaxing compared to the rest of my day. When I was done, I decided to fix my hair for the next day...and for Wind, that is. I blow dried it, then straightened it. It took an hour, though, so by the time I was done, I was too tired for homework. I got myself some of the chocolate cake that I had been saving. It’s just what I needed. Then, I went to bed, but I was still slightly upset.

As I was dozing off, I heard my window click open. If it’s an intruder, then why would they come into the room I’m in?  I opened one eye, but only enough for me to see who it was, and not enough for them to know that I was awake. I can’t believe it! It’s wind! He was sneaking in my window in the middle of the night. What’s he going to do?

Soon enough, I decided to pretend to be sleeping. He slowly walked toward my bed, then stopped a foot away from me. I think he sighed lowly, but I couldn’t hear him too well. He sat down next to my bed. He just sat there, then he slowly reached his hand up, towards my face, and gently stroked my cheek. I tried not to shake as I got a chill from his touch. He got up and walked around to the other side of my bed. My back was towards him now. He was trying to be slow and quiet, but I knew what he was doing. He was climbing into my bed! Once again, Wind was making my mind go absolutely crazy.

What is he doing? Is he going to try anything? Why did he even come in here? Does he think I’m asleep? What if he knows that I’m awake? Does he expect something from me? He slowly and quietly wiggled himself closer to me. My heart was pounding, but he stopped just a few inches from my back. I could hear him breathing. In. Out. He sounded so calm and peaceful next to me. I didn’t want to break the silence, but I felt like if I didn’t, my heart would explode. I tried to decide what to do. Maybe I should just start talking to him of maybe I could roll over and then talk. Maybe I should just try to sleep. I think that my head is going to explode, that is if my heart doesn’t first. Finally, I knew what I had to do. If I didn’t do it soon though, it’d be too late.
