I ignored a rule. I should know better by now. Maybe Caleb isn't the only hard headed one.
For some reason, I thought the office would be safe. It was just right off the hallway where the open bar was.
I had went in there to collect my thoughts. Asa Blake showed up. I hadn't talked to him yet, just his wife.
"I saw that you and Caleb were having a bit of a soap opera moment out there in the ballroom." Asa told me.
"Yeah...you could call it that." I commented. I didn't really want to talk about it. Plus something about him made me feel uneasy.
"Vampire relationships can be hard. I've been in a few before I found my lovely Annalise. But I have some advice for you, Miss Grant." Asa said cheerfully.
Before I could ask what, it happened.
He was so close to biting me, I tried to fight him but he was too strong. I managed to scream.
I heard a banging sound and Asa was off of me before I could wrap my head around what was going on. His fangs had scratched my neck, reminding me of how close I was to being his snack or whatever he had planned.
I looked up to see Caleb holding Asa by his throat, lifting him off the ground, before throwing him. I watched Caleb drag him out from behind his desk and into the middle of the floor.
"If you so much as look at my Vera again, I will rip your head off your body and place it on my wall while using your body as kindling at the next bonfire I attend. Do I make myself clear?" Caleb asked seething.
I'm not sure I have ever seen him that mad. Asa's reply was muffled, since Caleb had his shoe jammed into Asa's mouth and nose. Caleb slowly let Asa go, but not before throwing him back over the desk.
On our way out the door, I had Caleb on one side of me and Lilith on the other. I heard shouting. It was Annalise.
I didn't stick around to find out what she was yelling about. I just wanted to get out of there.
So now here I sit. At the Vatore Mansion. My neck isn't bad, just a light scratch. I just fixed my hair over it. Lilith brought me a pair of pajamas.
I have to wonder. How do I get into these situations? I think someone is at my door...
I have so many of these so here is an outtakes post!
why swim when you’re a mermaid??
Look at him! No, not Dakota! The cat! Just trying to get us to adopt him!....Vera almost did...
“May I fondle your boob?”
Even though Asa turned out to be a tool, I still think this shot is sweet.
so, I moved the main characters into a new save a while back just to cut down on lag etc. Well, Naya happened to find her Mom getting jiggy at the club because of it. xD
Sometimes, I shoot scenes and end up not using the scene...
But I still like the shots.
Aubree is really talented and bendy. August likes.
Just thought this was sweet.
......so Vera sat outside naked with Joey. In the rain. ????? she’s allowed a mental breakdown, okay?
I got back from the party a bit ago. I’m still at the Vatore House. I’m staying here tonight. Things didn’t exactly go as planned tonight.
Where to begin? I feel like I ask that question a lot. I can’t even talk to my therapist about this. Can I? He’s human but vampires have been “out of the coffin” for years. I don’t know. I’m rambling.
It started to rain as we arrived at the party. Caleb handed me an umbrella before going inside with Lilith. He hadn’t said anything about my dress the entire way to the party. I thought maybe he had just accepted my choice.
Then I was realized I was left outside by myself with Annalise Blake.
“I’m so glad you could make it, Miss Grant. I’ve heard a few things about you and you seem like an interesting person to know.” She told me.
“Well, thank you Mrs. Blake.” I responded. I wasn’t sure what to make of her. She seemed sincere.
“Please feel free to make yourself at home.” Annalise said with a small smile, she seemed to be careful about showing her fangs to me. “You know, I’m not used to all this vampire stuff yet myself. It’s actually kind of nice to have you here.”
I managed to smile at her. My gut was telling me she’s okay to be around. In the car, Lilith was telling me how after Annalise got her initial blood thirst tamed, it has been kind of hard for her to adjust into the fold of “vampire society.”
I was happy to see that they had a buffet table and an open bar for the guests. Apollo would be proud of me, I only had one drink. Caleb and Lilith were busy schmoozing, I guess that’s what I’d call it.
I was really shocked to see Ukupanipo there. But it was a good shock. It made me feel a little more comfortable. We talked a bit and ate together.
I saw Lilith sneak off to another room with some guy. I kind of didn’t want to know what they were up to.
“May I have this dance, Madame?” Caleb asked me, after grasping my hand. The only thing missing was a bow.
“Yes you may, Sir.” I replied, trying to sound fancy.
“Why am I not surprised you did not wear the dress I picked out for you?” Caleb asked, he looked kind of annoyed.
Good was my thought.
“You had to know that I wouldn’t wear it.” I told him, raising an eyebrow.
“Hmm.” is the only reply I got out of him.
“Besides, don’t you like this one better?” I asked softly, as we moved together to the classical music. I lightly traced his jawline with my finger. His hand forgot to be a gentleman for a few brief seconds.
It reminded me of our first dance at my brother’s wedding.
Being around Caleb does something to me. I can’t really explain it. I feel so much. I feel alive. It’s hard for me not to touch him. That urge to touch isn’t always good, sometimes I want to slap him for being so hard headed.
Caleb made his body behave and he placed his hands back to where they’re supposed to be in a formal setting. I was not following his behavior.
Eventually he let himself slip. We almost kissed as he dipped me, but he seemed to snap out of it. He stood me up so fast I almost spun on my high heels, then he was gone.
