Chapter 25

A Chapter by Dr.Who.LOVER

Chapter 25 of "Forbidden Love."

I woke up from my somewhat sleeping state when I felt Quil stir next to me. We hadn’t move an inch all night. I looked up and smiled at his minor case of bed head.

“Hi.” he said smiling at me.

“Hi,” I sat up and stretched out my tired body, “did you sleep well?”

“Yeah I did.” said Quil. I felt his arms loop around my waist and pull my back against his chest. He turned my face towards his delicately with his fingertips. I knew what was going to happen but I still felt surprised when he kissed me. I threw my arms around his neck as he pushed me down on the bed. I pulled him close and allowed myself to feel the pleasure of his body against mine. When we pulled away his face hovered over mine and his breath tickled my skin.

“Can we just wake up like that every morning?”I laughed shakily.

“I wouldn’t mind that.” Quil smiled still breathing hard. I wanted to stay close to Quil forever. But we couldn’t waste any time. He got off the bed allowing me to sit up. To avoid any awkwardness I picked up the phone and called down to the office for room service. It was still 10:00 so we each ordered 2 sunny side up eggs, hash browns, toast, a big side of bacon, and a stack of blueberry pancakes to share. Yes vampires could eat human food but it wouldn’t satisfy my hunger, just kind of helping it along. So yes when room service came I poured a blood bag into an empty mug instead of coffee. I saw Quil trying not to stare at me from across the mini cart we had set in between our beds as I chugged down blood and ate scorching hot bacon right off the plate. After my hunger had been satisfied I could finally eat the rest of my food like a normal person instead of a starved animal. I poked a hole in my yoke with the edge of my toast and soaked up most of it before stuffing it in my mouth. When I looked up Quil was staring at me like he had done at the gas station.

“What?” I asked suddenly defensive.

“First gummy worms and now you’re dipping your toast in yoke.”

“And…”

“You’re just a lot more, human than I thought you were.”

“What, you thought gut sucking, eye ball eating, soul reaper kind of vampire right?”

“Uh…a little bit too much but yeah basically.” I laughed and stabbed a piece of egg and a hash brown with my fork.

Together the stack of blueberry pancakes were gone in a matter of seconds. With our tummies we both took turns showering. When I got out I desperately wanted my hair to stay straight. But as soon as I towel dried it, it poofed out and curled. I quickly got dressed and strapped all my hidden weapons back in place.

“Ready?” asked Quil already fully dressed when I stepped out of the bathroom. I nodded and packed up my bag as he did the same. As soon as we were all packed up he grabbed my hand and walked outside of our motel room and walked to the manager’s office. I still loved the feeling of my hand in Quil’s.

When we walked in it was a woman sitting at the desk and not the same man from last night and the same man who brought us breakfast.

“Hi,” I said politely walking in front of the desk with Quil protectively behind me, “We’d like to check out.”

“Sure no problem I’ll just need your key.” she said smiling.

“Sure.” I handed her the room key along with 100 dollars to pay for all the hot water and breakfast. This time she gave me back change.

“And might I say you two make a very cute married couple.” Quil flinched as soon as she said the word married as if the word itself hurt him.

“Oh, no were not…” I stuttered.

“Oh I just assumed.” she said obviously trying to erase what she said.

“Yeah but we’re not so can we just drop it!?!” Quil exploded. Time seemed to freeze, the lady at the desk frozen with fear. Me staring at him wondering what has gotten into him?!?

“I’ll be in the car.” Quil stormed out taking his luggage with me.

“I’m so sorry uh, bye.” I ran out with my bags. “QUIL! HEY!” But hey kept walking. I easily ran in front of him but he just avoided me. He opened the car door but I beat him to it and shut it halfway.

“STOP!” I yelled. I wanted to say more but when I looked into Quil’s eyes the hatred shut me up. His blue eyes were frozen over. The last time he looked at me was when I was still another one of his jobs. What happen? Could Quil be gone? Or was it all just an act? Were we even going to Aspen or was he just leading me to my death.

I took a step back my legs itching to take off. He wouldn’t be able to catch me even with his mustang. Unless he would go so far as is to turn. But I couldn’t leave Christian’s sword. Maybe if I shot him that would slow him down long enough to grab it. Maybe I could even take the car.

Thousands of moves, options to escape raced through my head all at once. But when I Quil pulled me into his arms I forgot everything.

“Please don’t,” he whispered gripping the back of my shirt tightly in his hands, “don’t go. Don’t run away. I can’t see someone else go. Please.” Quil clung to me like an infant clinging to its mother, so afraid, so dependent. I wrapped my arms around him and held him tightly.
“I won’t. I won’t leave, I promise.” Quil let out a soft breath of relief and finally released his death grip on me.

“Thank you,” he said smiling.

“You’re welcome, we better get going.” And just like that everything returned to normal, well normal-ish. We grabbed our bags, threw them in the back and set off.

I watched their cute bonding moment and had to bite my tongue to avoid killing them. They were making it so easy. But I had to be patient. Soon they would be mine,
