Chapter 16: Maybe A Little Longer

Charles' POV: I honestly couldn't resist myself. I know Daniel and I fight a lot, but I'd never wish upon taking Jade away from him. I knew she didn't even feel that way about me, but I just felt like if I knew what it felt like to kiss her then I'd be able to control myself. She's the most beautiful woman I've ever layed eyed on. I believe Daniel thinks so too. However, since Daniel is now put to sleep in his coffin I can have just one chance, one opportunity to see if I could be in the picture...

Jade's POV: I pushed Charles away the second his lips met mine! He clenched his jaw, revealing his sharp jaw line, and said, "I'm sorry Jade. It's just that...I needed to know if I could ever be in the picture. I know now, so thank you, I won't bother you anymore..." and then right before he slipped out the door I grabbed his wrist and said, "Charles? Why do you feel that way about me?" He gave me a very desirable look and replied, "Isn't it obvious? You are the most gorgeous woman I have ever met in my entire life. Not just how beautiful you are, everything about you is gorgeous...your personality, your body, your mind, and your soul! I kissed you because if you end up dying in that ritual, I may not ever forgive myself for not trying!" I knew Charles was evil, just like Nathan, but I couldn't help but feel a little bit flattered. "Nobody has ever said anything like that to me..." I whispered. Charles gave me a confused look and said, "Daniel hasn't? He's quite the charmer!" "No, he just kept saying I was beautiful. Nothing more, so...thank you for tell me that." I looked him up and down. He answered, "Well, I'm shocked. It's impossible for anyone not to notice you Jade! Even in those sweatpants and sweatshirt you look like a queen. Actually, you don't look like a queen-" "What?" I cut him off, a little offended. He continued, "You don't look like a queen because you are a queen! Nobody could compare to your inner and outer beauty!" My cheeks probably were the color of a fire truck right about now. He was being awfully flattering and nice to me even after he tried to turn me into a vampire. I started thinking back to that and asked, "If you feel that way then why did you try to turn me?" He replied, "I tried to turn you because if you were to be alive forever, even if it was with Daniel, Nathaniel wouldn't be able to kill you, also I thought that given the path of an eternal life then maybe you would decide to spend some of it with me. I'm grateful that I didn't however, I would hate to be the one that forced vampirism on you, it wasn't my intentions!" I smiled and said, "It's okay. I understand why you did it. Now you need to understand what I'm about to do!" He looked at me, once again confused and replied, "What are you talkin-" I cut him off with another kiss. His lips felt like they were melting into mine, like we were two pieces of a puzzle finally coming together. Maybe it was the fact that I was kissed by Nathan earlier that made me need to just forget about it, but I needed this. I wanted this...

Charles' POV: Jade definantly knows how to shut someone up. Her lips smashed onto mine in a passionate way. I've never felt this way before. Her hands on the side of my face, my hands above her waist, it just felt...right. I thought she was just experiencing the kiss again, but she whispered to me, "We need to be quite alright?" I nodded my head blindly as she pulled me upstairs to what I presume to be her bedroom. Jade knew I was enjoying myself. I replied, "What exactly are you planning to do?" She said, "Everything until you tell me to stop..." and she started taking off my shirt. I pulled hers off too! Jade has the body of an angle, flawless in every way. She pushed me onto her bed and kissed me again, her legs around my torso and a smirk on her face. I spun her around and layed her all the way on the bed. She giggled so I said, "Sh. We have to be quiet remember!" Jade didn't say anything and just kissed me again. She and I, half-way naked and kissing. I couldn't have chosen a better way to live my immortal life than this moment right here, right now! Jade started taking off her bra when I stopped her and said, "Not tonight Jade. Let's just lay down okay?" She gave me a sad look and said, "Okay." But she lightened up a little bit and continued, "Do you want to watch something?" I laughed and replied, "I'd love to Jade! What shall we watch?" She gave me a smirk and said, "Have you ever watched Annabelle?" I replied with a smile, "No. what's it about?" She said, "Let's just say it's a very creepy doll movie. A horror movie actually. I think you'd like it!" I nodded my head and said, "Alright now come here." And I pulled her close to me. Her head was on my chest as we watched the movie, I had her put at least something on so we weren't basically naked, she put on my Rolling Stones t-shirt, which was way to big for her, and soon enough we both slipped to sleep...
