Chapter 467
Jabi
The next day, he wakes me up again and that same smile is still on his face. The one he went with last night. The one that lets me know that everything that happened is long forgotten. He leans forward and slowly rests his forehead on mine, his eyes closing slowly.
“Am I allowed to go to school today?’’ I ask him because I want us to talk about it. I want to know if he is okay with me being friends with Lenny.
“Can I stop you?’’ he asks me.
I lean forward and kiss him on the lips and he kisses me back. “I still want to go. I don’t want to stop.’’
He nods as he pulls away from me, the smile is still on his face “Then we are going to do what you want to do.’ he smiles and jumps up from the bed. I watch him as he stretches out his hands for me. I take them in mine and he pulls me off the bed. He wraps his arms around my waist and plants a kiss on my forehead.
“You are early today, so you don’t have to rush,’’ his eyes direct mine to the clock on the wall and I see that it is just a little after seven. I haven’t asked him about Lenny, he says he is okay with me going back to school but is he okay with me being friends with Lenny.
I want to be sure that he is okay with it.
I want to be sure that he is okay with everything before I take any chances and do anything to mess things up with him.
“What about Lenny,’’ I mumble my question.
He turns back to me and there is a blank expression on his face “I don’t like Lenny,’’ he seethes at me.
“Why?’’
He sways backward, his eyes wide as he takes a deep breath in and then lets it out. “I can’t explain it,’’ he shrugs.
“Why did you say that if you don’t like him?’’
“Because he is not human,’’ he answers me.
“You mean because he is a vampire?’’
“Sort of,’’ he shrugs again like what he just said makes sense. I don’t know why he would not like him because he is just like us.
“He understands me, he is good for me.’’
He raises a brow “You just met him. How do you know he is god for you? What if he has an ulterior motive for wanting to be friends with you.’’
“He is just a friend. The only reason why he wants to be friends with me is that he is just like me. I don’t think he has any ulterior motives as you think.”
He runs his hands through his hair and I sense the frustration. Almost like he doesn’t want to talk about this anymore “You can be friends with anyone else in that school, why does it have to be him?’’
I reach for him and he doesn’t push me away. He never pushes me away and that is why it is so easy to talk to him.
“Can you give him a chance? I have you to protect me, if he is the bad guy that you say he is, then I won’t push for this anymore.”
“Why is this so important to you?’’ he asks me and I don’t even need to think about it. I feel lonely sometimes. Like not lonely for love. I don’t need any more love because Darrien has given me everything I could ask for. He has become the most important person in my life. He is what completes me but there is just a part of me that wants someone. A friend, other than him, and I feel like I can get that with Lenny and even if Lenny is not the one for that. I want to at least try.
“I don’t know, I just felt like, for the first time in my life, I could be normal,” I tell him honestly.
He nods slowly, he looks at me and then places his hand on my cheek he leans up and plants a kiss on my lips “I will give Lenny a chance, if you think he is a good person then I will trust you but the moment I notice anything fishy, it is over.’’
I nod my head and he pulls me close into his arms “You have to be careful around him, you can’t just trust him just because. No matter what.’’
I nod my head because he is right.
I just have to be careful because at the end of everything, I don’t really know him and maybe it is because he helped me today that I feel like I could trust him but we are not in that place yet.
“You know what, invite him over tonight. I want to know his intentions before I let this happen and I am afraid I was terrible to him earlier,’’ he scratches the back of his neck nervously and I look at my man and can’t help but love him even more.
Darrien will do anything for me and he has just proved it.
“Are you sure about this?’’
He nods immediately “Yes. Let’s see if Lenny is trustworthy.”
“We will see.’’
He kisses me and I laugh at the excitement inside of me.
Darrien is so amazing and I have never met anyone like him. He has an otherworldly soul that I think only Darrien has and I know that I have found that place where I belong with him and no one is ever going to take me away from the world that he is. I don’t know how tonight will turn out but I am excited to see what will happen.
“I love you,’’ I smile at him and he nods his head, pulling me even closer. My lips find his again and I feel like the luckiest person on earth.
I have everything I want with Darrien and he has nothing to worry about with Lenny.
