Love Bites(8)

Vaguely. I wasnt there for that whole covenant thing. I crossed paths with Jagger, but Luna was a mortalso I never saw her. My family travels a lot.

Are they art dealers like Alexanders?

Nothey are pilots.

Are they all

But before I could say vampires, Alexander placed his hand on mine. So many questions. Dont you want to save a few? he hinted politely.

Finally, a woman who is interested in me for a change, Sebastian said coyly. And a beautiful one, at that. He flashed a mesmerizing smile. So what do you want to know?

Sebastian was charming, no doubt about it. But my interest was in Alexander. I wanted to know more about Sebastian but even more about my own handsome boyfriend.

Are you homeschooled like Alexander?

Yes. But we took night classes together. We had to take a few for exams. Alexander helped me pass themwithout knowing it.

So what was Alexander like?

I think its time we figure out what were going to do, Alexander interjected.

Sebastian ignored his host. Ahthats the real question. About Alexander. You were working your way through me to get to him, werent you? he asked. Its okay. Im used to it. Alexander always got the girls, he revealed.

Oh, really? I asked. I couldnt bear to imagine Alexander with any other girl than me. I felt a sword of jealousy pierce straight through my heart.

Something about long hair and being an artist, Sebastian added.

I bit my black lip. Alexander shot Sebastian a cold stare.

Maybe we should go, I said.

Dont worry, Sebastian said sweetly. He broke many hearts. Thats why I had to check out the girl who made him stay. Most keep him running.

I felt relieved and flattered at the same time.

So what about you? I asked. Where is your girlfriend?

Me? he asked. I dont have one.

I figured with all your travels, I said.

True love has always eluded me, he confessed. He spoke in a charming and intimate tone, as if he was baring his heart for the first time.

So, what are you looking for? I asked.

Someone kind, sincere, and captivating. Someone unlike anyone else Ive ever met.

Someone like Raven? Alexander said proudly, giving me a gentle squeeze.

Yes, just like Raven. Sebastian grinned. But without the artistic boyfriend.

Then Im sure you will find her, I reassured him.

Sebastian gazed at me with a stare so bold, yet sincere, that tiny hairs rose on the back of my neck. I havent found her yet. But Im hoping my true love is closer than I think.

Well, I hope you find her soon, I said.

Alexander switched off the game and TV. Lets get something to eat.
