Bitten 10: Midnight Gift Exchange
Jarren's POV I was going to tell her how I felt tonight, and my Christmas gift to her was the best way to do it. I'd made up my mind that whether or not she meant to kiss me or it was a mistake, I was going to tell her how I felt. I'd just have to deal with the outcome. I went back to the rest, and Jillie was there a minute later. She looked tired. I guess I wasn't the only one that noticed."Jillie, you look tired," Alyx said."I've been up since about five-thirty thanks to my sister and all the noise she was making. I guess it wouldn't have been so bad except for the fact that I went to bed at two this morning.""Why didn't your parents deal with her?" Mallory asked."They weren't here. They left this morning to serve breakfast at the soup kitchen.""You didn't go with them?" Mason asked. Probably surprised because Jillie never missed helping at the soup kitchens on holidays."They didn't wake me. I'm going tomorrow, though." I zoned them out and foc
Bitten 11: Call me Nunny
Jillie's POV "Mallory, wake up because I'm not catching you if you fall over." "Jillie, it's too early. I don't see why we had to be here at five anyway." "To make it through processing before the plane leaves." "Well, why didn't you book something later?" "Because we have to check into the hotel before four," I told her as my dad took the last of our suitcases out of the car. "Alright, girls. Be careful and have fun." "We will. Bye, Daddy." "Bye, princess," he said, hugging me and kissing my forehead. "Bye Ean," Mallory said. "By Mal," he responded, hugging her. I pulled both of my luggage suitcases and carried my carry-on as Mallory pulled her oversized luggage suitcases, carried a huge duffle bag and a carry-on. We spotted people from our school and made our way over. Mr. and Mrs. Key were both in the center of the group. "Hey, Jillie." Mrs. Key said when she saw me. "Hey," I replied. "We need to get a head count so we can start moving through checkpoints. I
Bitten 12: Dream Inception
Jarren's POV Jillie looked as if she was sleeping peacefully. I would hear her mumble every now and then, but she seemed to be smiling. I continued to run my fingers through her hair. I leaned back in my seat and caught Aaden looking at us. He smirked, and I flipped him off. He laughed and turned his attention back to Becka. The poor girl was just going to get her feelings hurt dealing with Aaden."Damn, Jillie's sleep too," Mason said, kneeling beside me."Alyx must be sleeping too.""Yeah. What is it about girls and traveling that makes them want to sleep?""I don't know, dude," I replied, looking down at Jillie. Mason moved to Jillie's seat. He lifted her bottom half, causing her to stir a bit. He sat down and sat her in his lap. "Why aren't you with Alyx?""She drools."I smirked. "She's gonna kill you when she finds out you said that.""Only if you tell her.""I might.""You wouldn't do that to your best friend.""Your right. I wouldn't do that to Jillie." I smirked.
Bitten 13: Museum Trip & Lunch
Jillie’s POV“Alright, everyone, when we get to the National Art Museum, make sure you join your group.” Mrs. Key told us. I leaned back in my chair, taking in the sites of Nassau. It was beautiful. Especially when the sun sets. After swimming yesterday, I watched the sunset outside as I waited to go down to dinner, but the town was still beautiful even after sunset.“What are you thinking about?” Jarren asked from beside me. I smiled to myself, remembering yesterday. We decided to tell our friends about us when we got to the pool. Mason and Alyx both yelled ‘About time.’ at the same time and then looked at each other puzzled. It was too funny. I then had to explain to Mason that I’d been telling Alyx how I’d felt, and she was giving me advice. Come to find out, Jarren was doing the same thing with Mason. Isn’t that ironic? It really didn’t help my case with Mallory, though. She was already sort of ticked at me because of the fact I’d kept it from her for a whole
Bitten 14: A Promise Made
Jarren's POV “Usted es el niña del sol. Brilla intensamente maravillosamente dentro de usted.” (You are the girl of the sun. It shines intensely and wonderfully within you.) The jewelry woman told Jillie. I looked on as she smiled. She had absolutely no idea what she was talking about. I could have told her, but I was still trying to calm myself down from Carson. He's pushing all the wrong buttons. I absent-mindedly watched as Jillie continued to look around the small tent. I saw her pick up another bracelet. It looked like it matched the one on her arm. The only difference was this one had more silver than gold in it. She walked up to the woman. "I'd like these." the woman looked at her confused, and Jillie looked a little frustrated. I laughed. “Quisiéramos comprar éstos.” (We'd like to buy these.) Jillie whipped her head around and looked at me. "You speak Spanish?" "Yes." "Well, that would have helped earlier
Bitten 15: Someone in the Shadows
Unknown POV I watched as she slept soundly. She was beautiful. I watched the easy rise and fall of her chest. Her breathing was quiet. I wonder what she's dreaming about. How I hoped it was me, but I knew better. I knew she was dreaming of him. That bloodsucking leech. He didn't deserve her. She was too good for him. She needed someone better than him. She needed me. I deserved her. She stirred silently, and I held my breath. When she settled back down, I released a silent stream of air. I watched her intently while she slept. Taking in her every feature. Locking it into memory. Not that I needed to. I knew h
Bitten 16: Beach Time
Jarren's POV "I think I should go and start getting my things together as well. See you guys later." Becka called before walking out of the door as well, Nic close behind her. I sat on my bed in silence, the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end. It wasn't the silence that was making me uncomfortable. It was something else entirely. What it was exactly, I didn't know. I couldn't put my finger on it."So, Aaden, why were you so interested in knowing how Nic's activities with Mallory went?" Mason asked, putting air quotes around activities."I just wanted to know if she was as giving with him as she was with me."My gaze landed on Aaden. "Seriously, dude. What kind of friend are you?""I'm a great friend.""Throwing Mal's business out there like that isn't being such a great friend," Mason informedhim."Yea, well, oh well." If I
Bitten 17: Special
Jillie's POV I watched him walk away toward the water. I called after him, but he didn't even as much as look back. I looked down at the guy on the ground, and he was shaking. I didn't blame him. I was shaking to. What was up with Jarren's eyes? They'd looked almost black. I shook my head as I began to walk slowly toward the water. I continued to walk into it until my feet could no longer touch the bottom, and I swam out a little way."Jarren!" I didn't see him anywhere, but I was positive this was where he came in at. "Jarren!" I turned around when I heard water moving behind me. I came face to face with Jarren. I jumped a little. "You scared me.""
