Andrew's POV:I make my way to her living room and sit in the middle of the couch. She takes a seat at the far end of the couch."So, what do you want to watch?" Ana asked."What movies do you have?" I asked."Well, I don't have any but N*****x sure does." She replies, her voice thick with sarcasm."You know what I mean?" I say and open N*****x."We could watch notting hill." She recommends."I am not watching any sappy movie." She gasps, "It's not a sappy movie. It's a normal romantic movie. Don't make presumptions without seeing them first." "What do you say we watch any Marvel movie? Both can compromise a little as I am not a big fan of marvel." I point out."That I can work with." She says and gets up to make some popcorn while I start the movie. She brings two bowls of popcorn and hands one to me. We both watch the movie silently not including the few exclamations and gasps from ana.Halfway through the movie, I see she is about to fall asleep."Don't sleep on me," I say. I know
It's a typical morning for me, and after taking care of aunt, I get outside and wait for Drew to take me to school. Drew's car rounds the driveway and he gets out."Good morning." I say and make my way to the car."Morning." He says and opens the car door for me. Wow. That is something new. I get in the car and make myself comfortable. He gets in and rolls up his sleeves. And he has hot forearms too. I never expected anything less from him."So, how did you sleep?" I asked him."I slept well, thank you. Also, I am sorry for sleeping in the midst of the movie, even after you told me against it." "It's alright. I forgot you were human for a second. Although, You did enjoy the trip to your bedroom after that. Didn't you?" He winks and my cheeks turn red at that memory. God, I really did snuggled against him."Shut up." I say and turn my face. He chuckles and accelerates.We reach the school and I go by my locker to place my jacket inside it, Drew follows my steps. I open the locker and s
Drew brings the first aid box and gently takes my hand in his hands. He kneels down in front of me and looks into my eyes. "Are you okay?" Drew asked ,words somehow comforting yet commanding."Not at my greatest, right now." I murmur."It's okay. Now, I am gonna softly take the glass shards out. Okay?" He asks me."Hmhm." I nod my head and shut my eyes tight because of anticipation."One. Two." He takes one shard out and I let out a piercing cry."Stop. Don't please." I say."Look at me. Don't think about the pain. Okay?" He says.I grip his other hand with my safe hand and press harder when he takes another shard out, this time a small one. This cycle continues and all the while I have his hand in a death grip. "There, all done." He says and discards all the glass and bandadges my hand. He wipes my dry tears with his thumb and gives me some water."Now, You feeling alright?" He asks me ."Yes. Good," I say. "Thank you for this." I nod towards my bandaged hand."No problem. You will
The first thing I see when I open my eyes is Drew softly moving his hands up and down my legs."Ah. I see you're awake.""Hello to you too." I mutter and rub my eyes."If you are all set, should we go inside the library?" he asked me."Yeah. " I stretch my arms and open the car door. As I get outside, I feel blood rushing to my head, making me lose my balance."Ana?" Drew asks as he clutches my arm before I can slip. I hold my head in the other hand.Drew asks, "Do you need to sit?" "No. I think - I think I am alright." I mutter.Drew gently massages my temples. "What was that suddenly?" I ask him."I don't know, Ana." He says, his voice filled with concern."Is this related to my power burst too?" I asked him."I don't think so. You already had one episode and you healed yourself so no extra strength should have been left to make you dizzy." He thinks for a while and says, "Have you eaten anything recently?" "No." I say sheepily."Why?" He says with a little frustration."I mean I h
Andrew's POV:When I reach home , I see charlie waiting in the living room. I open the boot of the car and take the artifacts out and hand it to him."Did something happen today?" Charlie says as I am about to head upstairs."Yes. Did you see it?" I asked him."I felt like she was in pain or something like that." "She had an outburst of power. Broke the crystal pot so I bandaged her hand. Then we reached the library and she felt dizzy, although I think that was due to hunger." I told him.Ana really scared me when she broke that pot with her hands. Thank God she has healing powers, otherwise it would have been a different case all along. I can't imagine or want her in pain. I couldn't control myself in the library too. She was curious and the way she reacted after seeing the novels, her innocence and sweetness tipped me over. I called her baby even though I find that irritating. I shake myself from the thoughts of her and focus on Charlie."I will look into that." He speed reads throu
As soon as I make my way out of the class. Jer says, "You okay?" "About what?" I ask. "The whole Maurel incident?" He asks. "Yes. I mean no. She was the first one who made rumours that I slept with you and when the truth went out that I am a virgin, she goes around talking about it as it is a brilliant topic for discussion." I make a face at that. "I know. She is just jealous that Drew is not asking her to prom. Leave it. Okay?" He says and hugs me . I return his hug with the same enthusiasm and we skip the whole Maurel incident and start talking about our joint classes. "Any updates on you and Drew?" Jer asks. "No. Why?" I ask him. "Just because. Also, during the whole class he was looking at you like he wanted to tear off your clothes." Jer says. "Wh-" I cough some water out. "What?" "Like he was imagining you naked. You two definitely have some tension, so it's better to work it out." He says. My cheeks go hot. " I don't know about that." "Oh. I do. I know that look. He
Next morning I wake up to messages from Drew. I sit a little straighter and open his chat.DREW:"Good Morning. How are you?""Did you get the dress?""I wanted to let you know that we have a day off today so I will pick you up so we can search your abilities and study them. Charlie said so. Be ready by 12.""See you soon."I read his texts and and respond to his messages.ANA:"Good morning. I am fine. How are you?""Okay.""See you."I get up and freshen up. I squeeze into a pair of pants and a hoodie and wear my sneakers with it. I get downstairs and see aunt making breakfast. Shoot! I forgot to tell her."Morning.""Morning. " I kiss her cheek and fill my glass with orange juice."Hey. I um- Drew is coming to pick me today." I say."Why?""For our project." I nod a little confidently."Okay." She eats and says with a mouthful, "You on birth control. Right?"I turn hot ,"What?'"Just be careful and use protection. I don't want any babies around the house." She says."Come on. Stop i
Andrew's POV:The door shuts close behind me. I make my way to Charlie's desk, where he sits and fills the hospital bills."What are you doing here ,son?""I wanted to talk to you about Ana?" I say.He shuts the book and turns his chair towards me, "And here I thought, you were here to help me." "What? No." I deapan."What is it?" He asks seriously now."You do know how powerful she is right?""Yes. She posesses the greatest power I have ever been a witness to. ""I just worry that if someone caught a sniff of her and her power , they will hunt her down. Like a fucking animal, a prey to their predator." I point out. I know how vampires are. If they got to know about her, they would come hunt her down and try to manipulate her to their own benefit. And if she is strong enough to form a shield to save her from being brainwashed, they would torture her and kill her soul inside until she has no will to leave and fold for them."You don't need to worry about that. We would never let that h
