Next morning I wake up to messages from Drew. I sit a little straighter and open his chat.DREW:"Good Morning. How are you?""Did you get the dress?""I wanted to let you know that we have a day off today so I will pick you up so we can search your abilities and study them. Charlie said so. Be ready by 12.""See you soon."I read his texts and and respond to his messages.ANA:"Good morning. I am fine. How are you?""Okay.""See you."I get up and freshen up. I squeeze into a pair of pants and a hoodie and wear my sneakers with it. I get downstairs and see aunt making breakfast. Shoot! I forgot to tell her."Morning.""Morning. " I kiss her cheek and fill my glass with orange juice."Hey. I um- Drew is coming to pick me today." I say."Why?""For our project." I nod a little confidently."Okay." She eats and says with a mouthful, "You on birth control. Right?"I turn hot ,"What?'"Just be careful and use protection. I don't want any babies around the house." She says."Come on. Stop i

Andrew's POV:Trees blur as I pass them and head to the club. My speed almost as par with alex's. Both Charlie and Aurora are behind us , stopping to chat and flirt with each other. We both reach the town club at the same time. Alex and I high five each other and we head in. I take a seat at the bar and ask for my regular. The bartender knows my order very well due to my frequency here, so I don't bother giving instructions. I turn my head and see alex already doing her task- Finding a human, slow dancing and slowly kissing their neck , then slow and soft bites till they settle and ease , then bite and feed. I know you must be thinking about how nobody notices. The answer to that is that this club is known for vampires , almost more than half of its customers are vampires, so the humans that come here know about it, they know that we feed on them so they don't stop us. In fact, they come here to be bitten and feeded upon , they think of it as 'detox'. The next, they wake up with no mem

Andrew's POV:The door closes behind me. I enter the house and see that Charlie and everyone else are back. I quicken my pace and meet them in the living room. As I enter, they all stand up and look at each other."What's going on?" I ask them."How is Ana?" Aurora asks."She's doing fine. Now tell me, who did you see?" I turn to Charlie."You need to sit down for this." He says. I sit down hesitantly, afraid of what he's going to say."Well, the look I had was a shadow, not clear enough to identify the person." Says he."Yes, but did you find anything relevant?" I add."Yes, he had a tattoo." He pauses."What kind of tattoo?" I say, looking at everyone, unable to decipher their reactions."A bleeding heart on his back." He says."What?" says I, startled. Because if he means what I think, we are doomed."We only know one person with that tattoo," said Jasper."That does not mean it's HIM." Says Alex, contradicting her friend."Did he have a scar?" I ask Charlie."Yes. From his right ch

Something crunches beneath my feet and I let out a terrified sound that has Drew coming towards me."What was that?" He asks me."There is something near my feet. ," I tell him."Okay. Don't move. Let me check." He says and I follow his instructions and stay still,He bends down and picks something up. What is that? A ring?"It's just a stupid ring." Drew says, and he is about to toss it away when it hits me."Wait! " I say and take that ring back."Why?" He asks me."See. This is the same ring that Maurel had on her." I tell him."So?" He says, without any clue."The ring that she got today. It means that she is nearby." I explain."Yeah. I didn't know it was hers." He says as we continue walking, me behind him. Then suddenly he stops walking and I end up hitting his back."Ouch." I exclaim and rub my head."Stay quiet. Okay?" He whispers and slowly turns."What is i-? " I can barely complete my sentence before he picks me up and runs. In vampire speed. I think I might throw up. I can

Andrew returns with a masterpiece covered in brown paper. He hands the painting to me and I grin in return. I seriously didn't thought he would do it . I go outside with my hand tucked in his and he opens the trunk and puts the painting inside. He opens my door and I get inside." First of all, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much for this gift but you shouldn't have bought it. Especially on our first date-" He tries to cut me off but I don't let him," And secondly-" I kiss him and his hand automatically goes at the nape of my neck and he pulls me upon him. His thumb hovers over my pulse and he presses lightly, a little sensually and a moan slips from me. My neck and cheeks heat up and he pins me on the steering wheel and he pulls away just to kiss me on my lower lip, then on my jaw and then on my neck. He gives me an open mouth kiss on my pulse and I grab a pieceful of his shirt and grip it. His teeth graze that pulse point. I almost pull his shirt off. ALMOST. He looks at me and t
