Chapter 4 (Little Kiss)

"Rose!"

"Whoa! How long was I out?" I said rubbing my head looking up at Ascelin.

"Thirty minutes, are you ok?" He asked help me up.

"Yes, thank you," I said and now I was just staring up at him, "you are a vampire, right?"

"Yes, Rose!" He smiled down at me.

"That's why your unbelievably hot," I mumbled and Ascelin chuckled.

"Thank you," he said grabbing my hand and lead me over to the living room where we set on the couch. I wanted to leave some space between us but Ascelin laid long ways on the couch then grabbed my waist and plant me in the middle of him with my back against his front.

"Why are you so touchy?" I asked.

"So I can't touch what's mine?" He said digging his face in my neck and I sighed.

"So, in that vision...you loved me too?" I asked.

"Love, Rose, love. I never stopped loving you," he said and I felt butterflies in my stomach.

How can I not remember, when I was ten my adopted mother gave me my first phone, my adopted father start working longer hours and never was home, my adopted brother got his first girlfriend, and that's when I ever first met my best friend, Sydney. But, why don't I remember Ascelin and being in love with him, grant it I can't believe anyone loving someone at ten years old, but the way I looked at Ascelin was definitely love. Wait... I remember something. The night when my parents were killed, there was a snow storm that night. Someone broken into the house that night... I can't remember everything, but I remember my parents telling me to run and to never look back.

"You were there that night, when my parents where killed? Did you kill them?" I said pulling away from him.

"I would never, I respected your parents to the highest order," Ascelin said looking me straight in my eyes and I could feel that he was telling me the truth.

"Do you know who did?" I asked looking up at him.

"No!"

"Oh," I said moving back into his arms, "why aren't you telling me everything?"

"I will tell you everything when it's the right time," he said kissing my forehead.

"Is there something going on between you and Violet?"

"No! She just serve me that's all,"

I turned around to wrap my arms around his waist snuggling close to his cold body. Ascelin ran his fingers through my hair slowly as we set in a comfortable silence. My mind was racing with questions, but I was too scared to ask.

"Why do everyone hate you?" Ascelin said and I smiled.

"Don't you know everything about me?" I asked getting nervous wondering if he knows about what happened when I was fifteen years old.

"Do you want me to know everything about you?" He asked.

"No, I don't," I said smiling up at him.

"Then I don't know anything," he smiled back moving my hair behind my ear.

"Blood! How can y'all go to a mortal school and not make it a blood bath?" I asked change my position so I was facing him.

"I order them not to harm anyone at that school without my permission. We get our supplies sent here," Ascelin said and I slowly nod.

"Is your "supplies" alive or already in a cooler?" I asked.

"Both!" He said.

"Really?"

"Voluntary, of course," he smiled and I nod. I wonder how it feels, to get bit by a vampire and having them drink your blood. I mean it must feel good if people actually volunteer for it, I thought placing my hand on my neck.

"How does it feel, to get bit by a vampire?" I asked wrapping my arms around his neck moving closer to him.

"What? You want me to bite you?" He said and I blushed.

"No, of course not," I said nervously. My finger trail his jawline down to his chin before placing my finger on his bottom lip, "can I see them." Ascelin didn't say anything but placed his lips on mine. He kissed me! Before I could respond he pulled away.

"We should get you back," Ascelin said pulling away from me and I pout because I didn't get to kiss him back.

"Ok."

"Then close your eyes," he said. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath. I felt something touch my lips and I realized that Ascelin was kissing me again and this time I kissed him back. The kiss took my breath away, his lips was so soft against mine. It happened so fast but it also end so soon, I opened my eyes to see that we were at the gates of the Academy.

"Where back?" I blushed pulling away from him and turned to look at the school, "I should probably get back, Sydney going to kick my ass."

"Good night, Rose!" Ascelin said staying where he was, probably was heading back to the mansion.

"Good night, Ascelin," I said giving him a smile before turning around and go through the gate. When I turned back around Ascelin was gone.
