I Got My Heart Broken By A Vampire - Marcella Smith (reading strategies book .TXT) 📗

I remember in tenth grade the first time we had these I almost died and went to heaven. Of course everyone else thought they were disgusting.” I chuckle. Jay and I were the only ones who ever gotten along.
He walks toward the counter and tries to grab one. I hit him on his hand.
“I’m not done baking.”
“Ooh you’re baking more?!” Jay asks in excitement.
“You act like that’s the best thing in the world.”
“Actually your baking is.”
“Thank big brother.” I smile at him as I frost the last cupcake.
Baking was always my peace. So was cooking I loved to cook. I listened to songs from Pressure by Paramore to Roman’s Revenge by Nicki Minaj. I’ve always had a wide variety of music I listen to. I was washing my cookie dough bowls when I get tapped on the shoulder. I turn around to see Jamain taking out my earphones.
“Can I talk to you?” Jamain asks quietly.
“Yeah hold on.” I put my cookies in the tray and follow him to one of his game rooms.
“So wha-“ I was interrupted by warm lips on mine. Then the next second they are gone.
“How did that feel?” Jamain asks.
“What?” I ask a little disoriented.
“The kiss how did it feel?” He asks impatiently.
“Like a …kiss I guess.” I say confused.
“Maybe I didn’t do it long enough.” He says.
Once again before I could say anything else his warm lips were on mine once again. It felt nice though. His arms were around my waist and I put my arms over his shoulder kissing him back eagerly. I mean this lasted for what a minute or so. He pulls back out of nowhere catching me by surprise.
“Was that good or was it bad?”
“Um..good.” I say admitting it reluctantly.
“Good.”
“Was that just to establish you’re a good kisser?”
“No I did it because I like you…I think…it’s kind of confusing.” Jamain said.
“Okay then can I go bake now?” I ask.
I would need to make everything from scratch to get my mind off of what just happened.
“Yes but first would you be comfortable if we you know were …together.” He mumbles shyly.
“Wait what?” I ask dazed and confused.


Chapter 5


"You heard me I can practically smell the attraction between us." He says.
"Really now?"
"Really. I mean we kissed and I know you responded in a good way."
"That's because it was a kiss!" I complain.
"But have you ever put that much passion into a kiss before?" He asks smug.
"Yes I have actually." I say.
"Who?" He asks like I'm making up a lie.
"Christian." I say bursting his bubble.
"Don't ever compare what I do to him." He growls.
"Why?" Afraid he does it better." I'm being real snarky I just don't want to admit my feelings.
He just growls. Then he grabs my face and crushes his lips down on mine. One of his hands are at the small of my waist pushing me closer up against him. I try my hardest not to give in but a minute later I couldn't press myself close enough to him. I had my hands around his neck but all of a sudden he snatches them down and steps back.

"Like I said. Don't ever compare what I do to what Christian does."
With that he walks out swiftly. I sigh and sit against the wall. I just that I could be a real bitch. I did like Jamain but I was afraid to admit it. I never was too good with admitting things. I get up and walk outdown the hallway thinking about the kiss getting ready to put my earphones in when a voice stoped me in my tracks.

"Do you really hate me so much to compare me to Christian? Or is it that you just like to see my temper flare?" Jamain asks.

I ignore what he says and keep walking down the hallway. I crash into someone's rock hard chest but his arms kept me from falling.

"Answer my question?" He urges.

I pull away from him and try to walk down the hallway but he keeps blocking my way.

"Would you please move?" I ask.

"Not until you tell me whats going on with all these snide and crude comments lately."
“Because I don’t even know you and you kidnapped me sorry if I’m not warming up to you.” I say sarcastically.
I put in my earphones and try to step around him but he automatically gets in my way.
“Are you afraid of me and these comments are trying to make you feel like you’re not?” He asks.
“No,” I lie, “Now get out of my way!” I yell.
Surprisingly he flinches from my tone of voice. I stomp upstairs to my room but I didn’t cry like I wanted to I held my tears in. I sit down on my bed and let the music make me forget everything. I feel a tap on my shoulder and whirl around to see Jamain with a blank expression.
“We are having a party tonight your outfit is in your room. These people coming are vampires and aren’t one to mess with do you understand?”
“I wouldn’t call them people,” I mutter under my breath.
He sighs and walks toward the door.
“ I expect you to be downstairs by 8:30.”
Ugh I walk into the closet to see a strapless black mini dress it was absolutely beautiful with streaks of silver going through it. I see a diamond choker, a diamond necklace, and diamond encrusted bangles. I also got a diamond anklet. The shoes oh my Lord they were about six inches high and the heel had diamonds going all the way down. The shoe color was black. Ugh this was too tempting I mean wasn’t going to get dressed at all but now I just had to now.
I take a twenty minute shower and then I straightened my hair to make it super straight. When I straightened it like that it goes to my mid back. Then I get dressed and do my makeup giving myself a smoky eye and all basic makeup. I put on the jewelry and I look into the mirror and smile to myself I look like a dark goddess. I make my way downstairs and see the whole living room full of people look up at me as I came down the stairs. Jamain was at the bottom of the staircase and he grabbed my arm.
“I’m surprised you did what I asked.” He comments coolly.
“I’m surprised I did too.” I respond with the same cool attitude.
A tall good looking Hispanic with beautiful brown eyes walked up and talked to Jamain.
“Don’t keep this beautiful human all to yourself introduce me to this beautiful Senorita .”
“Ramon this is Ciara a friend I met at my new school.”
“A pleasure.” He smiles dimpling grasping my hand and kissing it.
“The pleasure is all mine.” I smile down at him flirting in front of Jamain. I noticed that Jamain’s arm tightened when I replied.
“Jamain I must show this girl to the others.” Ramon says already holding my hand.
“I don’t know.” Jamain says.
“You already know they won’t take her from me. I am very feared amongst these people they know not to get too comfortable.”
“Well alright.” Jamain says reluctantly and lets go of my arm.
Ramon takes my hand and I don’t mind at all. We walk around as I’m being introduced to the rest of the people dancing and drinking. Guys stare eagerly but back down once they see Ramon’s expression. I flirt withRamon and see Jamain watching but I really don’t care.
“Come out back with me Senorita.” Ramon whispers in my ear.
I shiver and nod taking his hand and going out in the back. I knew Jamain would bring someone like you. His voice was deep and seductive man he was such a turn on. I was thinking all this when he leaned down and brought his mouth to mine I kiss him back eagerly he then kisses my chin as I cling to him and then my neck. His teeth graze my neck and it felt so good. I flinch back thinking if he was gonna bite me it would hurt. He chuckles.
“It doesn’t hurt Senorita.”
I sigh.
“Do you want it?”He asks.
“Yes,” I whisper.
He bites into my neck and for a second it hurts and then a burst of pleasure goes through me. I sigh in pleasure and hold his head closer. Man it kept feeling better and better…
“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!” Jamain’s voice burst out through the back door.
We jump apart and I see fear in Ramon’s eyes.
“Jamain I-,” Ramon starts.
“Get out .” Jamain says with deadly calm.
“I’ll see you soon Senorita. Very soon.” He winks and disappears.
“Get inside the party is over and obviously you can’t act like a slut for very long so go upstairs.”
“Get the hell out of here. What is your problem?!”
I stalk past him not waiting for an answer. I get upstairs and slam the door. I turn around and Jamain is there glaring at me. I march past him into the closet to pick out pajamas and head to the restroom. As I pass him again he grabs my arm.
"Ciara we will talk about this when you get out of the shower." He growls to me.
"Whatever." I snatch my arm away and head towards the shower.
The shower was hot which loosened up my tense muscles as I thought why Jamain had reacted in such a way. I mean he doesn't even care about me.. Or does he? I get dressed in black sweats, a black tank top, and long black basketball socks. I brush my teeth, wash my face, and pull my hair up into a sloppy bun drawing out getting ready as long as possible. I walk out and he is there walking back and forth on the carpet.
"What do you want to talk about." I say as I flop onto the bed grabbing the remote to turn on the television.
He grabs the remote to turn the T.V off.
"Don't mess with Ramon I'm warning you it will not end well. You would ened up being is whore."
"Nice of you to think of me like that." I say sarcastically.
"Well it's the truth. He isn't good okay I'm telling you."
"What is good for me then Jamain?" I ask.
"I don't know just not that."
"Whatever."
"I'm here to explain why I kidnapped you anyway. Vampires roam the Earth just like humans. Sometimes they end up with humans and reproduce hybrids. Half human half vampire. So as time went on the began to get out of control once they were eighteen. A witch Aahmas put a curse on the hybrids that once they hit eighteen they would become blood crazed monsters."
"Oh so just like a vampire-" I interrupt sarcastically.
"Shut up. They all turn mad and you are a hybrid."
"What?!"
"Yes you are-"
"No I'm not my mom didn't date a vampire. My father died when I was younger."
"Your father is Bomani."
"How did you know that?"
"He was once my mentor before he was killed. Aahmas hated Bomani because he fell in
