Lingering Kiss - Aaliyah (affordable ebook reader TXT) 📗

My name is Lanatia fourteen and a junior at Tower High. Summer is coming and I feel older and wiser than my age. Then again I’m not human more of a mixed breed of vampire and witch. Scary I know but I keep it a secret it’s not that hard really. My parents moved to Florida where the sun is shining and I’m looked at as normal. As usual I shower get dressed and put on my favorite sandals and go down stairs for breakfast.
“Hey hun did you hear about the new neighbors” said my mom.
Her honey brown skin and glowing eyes stared at me. “No, are they like us or something?”
“I don’t know we haven’t seen them yet, but they do have a son that is a grade older than you.”
By that tone of voice sounded like she wants me to date the guy. I’m not really a dater or not really guy’s type. My dark eyes and long dark brown hair that is wild. Not to mention my five foot four inches height. Dad had dropped me off at school and I was greeted my best friends Anna and Karrel. Out the corner of my eye I saw a guy with deep green eyes staring at me. I was so glad it was spring break after today so I don’t have to deal with the crazy school.
“That guy is hot” said Karrel.
Anna nodding in agreement I just laughed and kept walking. By the end of the day I was tired and I started to walk home. Then out of nowhere a black jaguar pulled in front of me and rolled down its window.
“Hey I’m your new neighbor do you need a ride?”
I could smell him clean as a day he was a full blooded vampire. His blood smelled so sweet like royal blood and I closed my eyes to take it all in and said no. He said ok, though he looked disappointed and watched me walk away. That night I opened my curtains and I could see in his bathroom, he was in their too. His body had just enough muscles to make a girl scream I thought. He was getting into the shower and I think I should have closed my eyes but I didn’t. So instead I went to my bed and slept and from that point I knew I wanted him. My alarm clock went off and I walked blindly into the shower, turning on the water. I took my pj bottoms off and I felt if somebody was looking, so I peered out the window and there guy was in his room listening to music. He glanced up and saw me. His eyes were staying and then I realized I was in a tank top and under wear. Though I kept staring and I turned away and then stepped in the shower then removed the rest of my clothing. When I got out I heard voices in the kitchen it was my mom and dad talking to the neighbors in a low voice.
“She should be down in a minute” said my mom
“Well it is not every day we get to see people like us” said a males voice.
I came down the stairs in jeans and a tank top and when I entered the whole conversation stopped.
“Hey sweetie this is Jean’s parents Mr. and Mrs. Thermais” said my mom.
I waved and went to the kitchen to get a bagel. But I wonder what was going on though my mind is now thinking about Jean. “Ma I’m going to take a walk down the street is that ok?”
“That’s fine Lanatia” said my mom.”
I let the sun hit my face and I walked to our neighborhood park and lay in the grass. Then it had gotten dark and the sun seemed like it disappeared, so I opened my eyes. There he was Jean, his dark brown hair hiding his eyes just a little. He stared at me and mumbled something and I went in a deep sleep. I had to be dreaming and was that really Jean?
My throat was dry like had eaten sand paper. My eyes opened and a guy I didn’t recognize came forward and rubbed my hair out my eye. I won’t lie he was stunning but looked so cruel in every way
“My prize your awake enjoy your nap?”
“Who are you and where am I” I said backing against the wall. I summoned a spell in my head and started praying to the Goddess. And fire was in my hand in an instant and I threw it and it blinded him for a good five minutes and I ran. Running through doors and halls I came to the outside and ran and ran until I couldn’t anymore. I had no idea where I was and then I read a sign and it said Georgia. No cell phone which was kind of messed up so I ran to the nearest restaurant I saw.
“Ma I’m in Georgia and I don’t know how I got hear please help me” I screamed into the phone.
“Okay Jean is on his way he is coming for u stay put” she yelled.
I felt like hours I had been waiting and I felt someone lift me up and fell asleep. I woke up to somebody calling my name and I looked up. It was Jean and he touched my hand and I felt like melting in his arms.
“Are you ok? I mean you’re really beautiful and-“
I kissed him with all of my might and he wrapped his arms around me. And then I felt a prick and he was drinking my blood I felt his lips wanting to take every drop from me. Then I pushed him off and my head was dizzy and I couldn’t think straight.
“You took too much” my words began to slur.
“I’m sorry and he cuddled near me and I fell into a deep sleep again. I really wasn’t sleep I just wanted to go home. Then again I wanted his blood and I wanted it all. Though I might kill him I had to control myself I needed the Goddess Athena. I didn’t know what to do I kissed and am sharing a bed with a beautiful stranger.

I woke up on a bed but I didn’t feel like mine If felt too soft. “Why am I not at home I want to go home?” I jumped up pushing him into the wall and yelling at him and I saw fright in his eyes. Though I knew he wasn’t scared of me but for me. “I don’t even know you that well Jean but it feels like we are connected. And I’m really hungry I need food.” Then my gaze drops down to his pale throat and I pounce. Biting Jean was like a drug; his blood ran down my throat like alcohol. I thought he would push me off but instead he held me tighter and bit me back. Then I let go feeling high on blood and then I kissed him and then he kept touching my shirt my hair. The connection was too much I collapsed and went into darkness.
“Lanatia are you ok please speak I’m so sorry.”
“Stop yelling at me, and where is my I passed out sorry? You smell good what time it is jean?”
“It is 8:30. “
He climbed in beside me and help me close promising love. But I’m too young I’m not sure I’m ready for that kind of love, I felt trapped.

The moring sun caught my eyes and making me blind.I wondered why Jean was laying next to me and why i wasn't at home." Lanatia we have get back home so you can have the shower first" said Jean Inside I was screaming because now he knows I sorta like him, deep down inside. I came out of the shower and he went in after me like he couldn't wait. As I put on my shoes he was putting on his shirt and I couldn't help but glance. He looked up and saw me and my face went read like a freaking tomato.
