Astrid sat tearfully on the bed sobbing from the scene earlier. She wish she didn’t overreact but she couldn’t seem to hide how hurt she felt seeing him talking to another girl.
She wiped off the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes. It was almost time for lights out and she was yet to change into her comfy night dresses.
All of a sudden, she felt someone sit next to her on the bed with her back turned.
She stared at the figure wondering why the girl wasn’t getting ready for bed.
Her tap on her shoulder seemed to startle her and she quickly turned to give her a glance.
“Spike!” She gasped when he saw it was Spike behind the blanket and arm coat.
He put those on to cover himself so no one would know a male student entered the girls dorm.
“Hey, Astrid —”
“I shouldn’t have overreacted. It’s so weird and I’m really sorry.” She apologized feeling miserable.
Did she look weak and helpless before him earlier.
God! Why did she care??
“It’s alright. It’s natural to get jealous. I mean I would beat up any guy that confronts you in this school. I really would.” He stated wearing a serious look.
“Where’s Juicy? She is not mad at me, is she?” She asked nervously.
From the way her body reacted, Spike immediately knew they were really best friends and didn’t want to see each other hurt.
That thought made him feel guilty about the exposed pictures they have of Astrid not putting on any clothes.
“I like you.” He breathed out ignoring her last question.
Astrid’s cheeks immediately flushed red as the words danced around her ears.
“I like you too.” She flushed slowly taking his hand.
Spike chuckled when he realized he was still dressed as a girl.
*******
“I am never going to use that blanket and dress again.” Juicy told Ryan when she returned to him from the dorm.
“Stop complaining. I’m sure you’re excited that your little friend has bagged one of my friends. You know we are quite neat boys.” Ryan replied wearing a smug on his face.
“Geez, Ryan. You’re awfully boring. But Spike is going to delete those photos of Astrid, right? He better do it before she finds out.” Juicy grumbled.
“What if we are just playing, Jui-c-y? What if Spike is just pretending to care for your friend?” He asked.
“That’s not possible. We trust each other now, would he really go through all that stress?” She asked rolling her eyes.
“There’s this awesome place I would like to show you.” He whispered swiping her hand into his.
“It’s late, Ryan. You might not sleep at night but I need some sleep.” She growled resisting from his grip.
Her protests fell on deaf ears as he took her with him to one of his favorite personal hangout with his friends.
*******
Her mind was lost. The first time she recovered herself was when he carefully laid her on the ground with their breathing faster than it was.
Juicy was completely nàked and was surprised with how fast Ryan shed her wears. He was shirtless and still had his pants on as he kissed her all over neck.
Her hands were wrapped around his neck and he stared deep into her eyes like they were passing a brief communication.
He unzipped his pants and withdrew his member which caused Juicy to shiver instantly. Fear flashed through her eyes and if Ryan wasn’t intently watching to see her reaction, he would have missed it. Almost.
“You scared?” He asked and regretted it instantly.
“No. Go ahead…” She whispered and after what felt like hours, he finally made a move into her which caused her to cry out.
*******
TWO YEARS LATER.
*******
“Are you two sure about this?” Ryan asked gazing at her over ambitious girlfriend whom also stared back with her green perfect eyes.
“Yes. I want to spend forever with you.” Juicy replied letting out a small smile.
“Same here, go on already.” Astrid scoffed with folded arms.
“Let’s just give them what they want.” Spike whispered lowly.
The two vampires have never turned anyone before but here they were about to do so to the love of their lives.
Ryan went ahead to bite on his wrist before passing it over to Juicy to suck from. Spike and Astrid followed lead and after a while, there was enough vampire blood in their system.
“I wonder what it feels like to die.” Juicy muttered as Ryan shook his scared still scared concerning what they were about to do. There was really no going back for them.
After highschool, Ryan and Juicy started their relationship and had been hanging out with their friends as well. Juicy thought that he just wanted to take advantage of her but to her surprise, he wanted to have a thing with her. Spike and Astrid also began theirs and had been living together since Astrid lost her parents and Spike didn’t want to stay with his family anymore.
Juicy was still staying with her parents after her grandmother died while Ryan left home as well and began living on his own. He felt that that was what was good for him so he can be happy with people that accepts him the way he was. Heather had lost communication with her friends and hadn’t spoken to them since she left the boarding house.
Ryan looked up at the clock and breathed out.
“We’ll wait till half an hour before doing anything else…” He said with his gaze stuck on Juicy. He was worried about her.
About her decision and if she really wanted to be a vampire. A creature that never ages…
The door bell rang interrupting the interesting moment and he shook his head.
“I’ll get it.” He mumbled before ambling to the door.
Grabbing the handle, he pulled easing the door open to reveal a face he thought has disappeared from the face of the earth. Someone she has lived to forget few years ago.
“Mandy?” His lips wavered betraying how unbothered he wanted to sound.
The lady stood there wearing a smile.
“Miss me?” She asked before walking past him into the house.
