Excerpt
Chapter 7:
“Why did you not give her a chance? Then maybe
you would be…”
“She isn’t you.
No one makes me feel like you do. No one,” I said and she looked over at me.
“You still
believe that? After all I have put you through? After all I have done?”
“Yes. I believe
it. I know it.”
“But you must
realize, that I am not what you thought I was. Don’t you?”
“Yes. I know
that.”
“But, I do not
understand. Does it not upset you?” she asked.
“Yes. It upsets
me. But you owe me the truth, and you are going to
tell me the truth now,
right? No more lies?”
“Yes Justin. And
then, maybe you will go running to that girl.
Maybe you should go after her
right now. There may still be a chance.”
“No. I don’t run
away. That is your thing.”
She sighed and
sat on the edge of the bed, naked. She turned her back to me.
I looked at her
back, so sexy. Shoulders strong and defined.
She had her arms across her chest.
She knew I was going to ask the questions. I think she was
mentally preparing
herself for the blows.
“Go ahead
Justin. Ask.”
“First of all…
You’re not gonna tell me that you have to work in the
morning, are you? Because
I ain’t falling for that shit anymore,” I said.
It just slipped out of my
mouth. Like I didn’t have a filter between my
brain in my mouth.
“No. I suppose
you would not.” She turned to look at me.
“And you are
staying here with me, right? I am going to have the
pleasure of your company
during the day? Right?” I pressed, as
I felt my anger rising.
“Yes, I will
stay. But I cannot go out with you during the day.
will have to keep the
shades drawn. It is just not that simple to explain.”
She kept her head down as
she spoke these words.
“Fine. I can
handle that. Tell me, what exactly would happen if I did
open the shades
Ambra?”
“I would burn up
and die,” she stated, flatly.
“What are you
Ambra? Are you ready to tell me to my face now?” I was insistent. “Because I
really need to know.”
“I am…” She
started and then, she became silent again.
“Say it, dammit!
I want to hear you say it to me,” I was really getting pissed.
“I am a
monster,” she whispered.
“What? What kind
of monster? You tell me God dammit!” I yelled.
“A vampire,” she
said it so quietly, keeping her back to me.
“You turn around
and say it to my face. You have kept this from me for
so long. I want you to
look me in the eye! I deserve it!” I grabbed her
shoulders as I yelled at her.
She turned to me, tears flowing down her cheeks.
“Justin, I am a vampire.”
