"Where is Lydia?" I ask interrupting the scolding that Markus was getting.
"I laid her on the counter top." And now it's me who Narrows my eyes "From the floor to the counter top? You reckon because you are a preditor she doesn't deserve comfort? Or do you feel that since she is the reason Philip is missing she gets what she gets?"
Markus backs away from me, the memory of my shift and Phoebie dangling in the air clearly still clear in his head. He shakes his head from left to right, "I didn't know what to do with her." I turn to Gab smiling sarcastically "Do you not have a sick bay for staff who are not allowed to go home when they feel unwell?" he looks at his shoes, "I have always only employed supernaturals at the Swig and Swine." I shake my head at the both of them, "Where does Lydia live Gabriel, this should have been on her CV if I am not mistaken."
He takes his macbook out from one of the locked draws in his desk, unlocks it and then goes to his employ
The next morning I awaken to a message from Gabriel that he and Sasha will be by in an hour I react with a thumbs up and move to the coffee machine, Oh did I mention the apartment came with a Keurig? Best damn accommodation ever, so I put an Esspresso pod into the machine with a large red mug with a black heart on it and head to the bathroom to relieve my bladder and shower, as I sit on the toilet I notice the wetness between my legs and the puddle in my undies. I emerge from the bathroom in a black tank top a pair of blue skinny jeans and my white Converse hair still wet and head for my coffee I notice that the mug is standing next to the machine and a white mug with a black heart is in the machine frowning I look around to see Gabriel standing on the balcony, I fold my arms "Gabriel?..." He turns around "Scarlette." he simply states "Please don't do what you did in the shower again, I would smell you this morning before you even woke up, matter-o-fact I could smell you last night
Jackson and Sasha arrive just as Gabriel finishes placing the breakfast muffins he made from scratch on the table, How in the hell did he do all this in an hour? Vamp speed, the only reason why it took an hour was because well the human equipment is on their own time, but if he could make them do things on vamp speed I am sure he would have. I open the door to welcome the two in, "Oh damn Scar I didn't know you could cook it smells great in here." I laugh boisterously, "Jax if I cooked we would all die, Gabe is in the kitchen." We all laugh "Well what woman doesn't love a man who could cook up a storm" says Sasha, well damn great minds think alike don't they? I lead them to the kitchen table where Gabriel is waiting, he got the juice out, a pot of filtered coffee, a pot of hot tea, and one of iced peach tea, the man went all out. As we dig into our breakfast it is Sasha who starts the conversation "So I was running down the alleyway because I was on my way to the Swig and Swin B
"And remember, no shifting or sex for a week that means 7 days, know what, Charlotte, why don't the Luna stay with you for the week." I Smile at her sarcastically, "No problem at all." She has a thing for Gabe and she doesn't like the attention Gabe has been showering me with so she pretends to not know my name. Typical bitch behaviorMary is having a roasting show in my head for Lana, it is honestly comedic even Gabriel burst out in laughing fits every now and then as if he cannot contain himself."Thank you for coming Lana." He shakes her hand but she was clearly leaning in for a hug in my head Mary makes a snide comment about desperation looking bad on a stunning lady.Jackson asks Sasha if she would like a lunch date with him before they have to spend the week apart to which she accepts his offer "Oi, what is she going to sleep in? Are you saying we cannot leave you unsupervised?" Both of them blush beet red I face palm myself damn it it's as if I am amongst a bunch of teenagers.
GABRIEL'S POV I felt the spark of energy when I touched Scarlettes shoulder, it tingled from my head right down to my pinky toes soles included, that has never happened to me before. I know my bretheran who was created with me would feel such sparks when they met their forever mate. I felt a slight tingle with Queen Mary and perhaps for a moment I thought she was mine but never said anything so I left it at that. But the tingle was different with Scarlette, if she was a vampire it would have knocked me off my fucking feet, I have seen it happen with Dracular and he was known to be the strongest of all of us because he was sculpure first. So when Scarlette blirted out that she dreamed of me this morning, after that intoxicating cherry scent I got from her arousal, I knew it. There was no doubt. That is how a vampire knows he or she has found their true mate. The woman has a naughty dream and the scent that pools in her knickers are what draws her true mate because it is only him who
We finish our meal and Lydia opts to stay at work as it will keep her busy. I can literally see the fear in her aura. Jax states that they need to get Sasha some clothes because, apparently, women don't know what they're looking for while shopping for clothing. "Before you go, there is something I need to show you all," Gabriel states with an uncomfortable smile on his face. "Or perhaps it could wait until the pub closes, up to you." we all look at each other "Sorry bro, I won't pass up a day of shopping for anything," Sasha says, "You heard the lady" Jax states groaning. I laughed at them. "I suppose it can wait until the whole gang is ready?" I asked Gabriel, who nodded in affirmation. "Yes indeed, I will need Lydia and Markus there too." The two behind the counter stood stupified by Gabriel's announcement. "Great, that means I have time to go home and get ready." I announced as I got up and made my way to the bar with the apple pay ready to pay for my food, but Gabriel shook his
When I get inside my apartment, I take Gabriel's leed because his prediction was 100% correct and I too need a cold shower. As soon as I finish my shower I look into the complementary wardrobe provided for what I will wear to this meeting Gabriel has asked us to attend at his tavern. For tonight I will wear blue ripped jeans, a high-waisted ofcause coupled with a cream knitted top that covers my bum, and under that, I will have a vest obviously and my Converse. But for now, I feel for a workout and I happened to have purchased those Sofia Vergara workout sets so, here we go. I opt to do a 20-minute Strong Nation workout that I found on youtube. It helped get my mind off my dream because I had to focus or I would have a big oopsie, halfway through the workout Gabriel burst through the door wide-eyed "Shit sorry Scarlette." I frown but continue my workout, "What's wrong?" I ask his hair still damp from his shower, it must have been a long one. "I heard you panting and cursing fuck
"Exactly" Gabriel states "So now that we have the politics out of the way how shall we proceed ladies and gentlemen?" Gabriel asks again. Lydia rushes toward Lana and gives her one hell of a slap, we can see her handprint on her face. Lana just laughs "Is that the best you got beautiful?" She's goading us, the more we torture her the more time she has to do whatever she is up to "Gabriel, she is stalling, could she be doing a spell or something?" Makrus burst out laughing "If that is her master plan she is in for a rude awakening." I frown at him "She has probably been trying for hours. The cuffs are magic dampening and the chair makes her invisible so no tracking spell in heaven, hell, or on earth would find her." Lana lets out a shriek that could make any mortal go deaf. "Soundproof walls," Jackson says to her when she is done and wiggles his finger on his ear. "You said you did this for me?" Gabriel looks at Lana, "Why?" Markus asks "Because he is mine and I will do whatever I ha
At the mention of Azazel's name Jedreel is in the room in a flash, "Calm down Jedreel, he is not in the room relax." Jedreel looks at the room and notices that we are not alone, he particularly zooms in on Lydia "You are well Lydia?" she nods at him shyly, "Yes thank you very much Jed...reel?" He nods yes "Sometimes holiness or that fool" he points to Markus "Call me Jed for short" She nods shyly once again. "Holiness, I must say that your caller from the other dimension is very persistent." Rolling my eyes "Of cause he is. I will get to him when I get to him. He should know where I am as this was their idea initially." I say and Jed flashes out of the room "He's so hot" Lydia says then realized it was said out loud. "This matter is resolved and I am no longer needed correct?" Everyone nods their heads "Whoever placed bets it's time to cash in." And just like that, I am in the driver's seat again. "What was that all about?" Everyone looks at me confused. "I have seen banter between
