“He’s not going to attack me, is he?” she asked, taking two steps back from the table and pointing at Lucas with her pencil. Lucas handed the notepad out to her but she refused to take it.
“Oh,” I replied, remembering my date with Henry. I never did find out what happened to the waitress he rendered unconscious.
“Ashley had to get stitches for a cut on her forehead,” she told me, as if reading my mind. I kept my eyes fixed on her as I nodded, but I could feel Lucas examining me like I was under a microscope. “She quit too.”
“I’m sorry that happened,” I said, my voice cracking. “I didn’t know he was so violent. I…we’re not together anymore and I’ve moved on. This is Lucas,” I said, waving a hand in his direction like it was a magic show and he was the next act. Lucas flashed her a weak-knee inducing smile and handed her the notepad gently. She took it this time, and brushed back one of her bangs with pencil in hand. She couldn’t get her eyes off of him once he put on the charm.
“I’ll take the chicken parm dinner and a water,” I muttered after a few seconds. She blinked back to reality and wrote down our orders this time. She exited the scene with a shuffle of her feet, and I watched her until she was back in the kitchen. When I turned back to Lucas, he was staring at me with so much curiosity, I thought it was going to kill him. You know. Curiosity killed the cat…never mind.
“What was that all about?” he asked with a wide eyes. “Abusive boyfriend?”
“Not exactly,” I said, unsure of what to say next. I didn’t want to bring up Henry. Especially if the emotional wreck was living in my house.
“He wasn’t my boyfriend,” I said adamantly. “Just a friend who lost it. He di d love me…but it wasn’t meant to be. I had to let him down gently.”
“There is something about you,” he said with a nod. “Maybe I’m here because I want to figure out what that is.”
“So tell me more,” I said. “You were going to tell me the pros and cons of being with a girl like me.”
“Yeah,” he laughed, randomly grabbing a sugar packet from the side and then throwing it like a mini-Frisbee to the side. “Excuse me, I’m not used to explaining my actions to people.”
“But you’re going to try with me?”
“Yeah, I’m going to try,” he laughed nervously.
“Why?”
“Because I’m trying to change,” he said, his face suddenly becoming deathly serious. “And I think you might be the one who can make that happen.”
TRACK 7 – Trouble Finds Me
Did he know my secret?
That was the thought that ran through my head and it scared me to no end. And yet, it would make so much sense. Why else would such an elegant, gorgeous creature seek me out if it wasn’t for some enchanting song I didn’t know I was producing?
He probably staked me out for weeks, finding out who I was and what I could do. He didn’t care about me. He was just wondering what caught his interest in this ordinary, awkward girl. He probably laughed when he realized that it was not me at all. It was just the power I had no control over.
Like anyone else who would discover my abilities, they would seek out how they could gain from it. They would use me like a tool, without any care for how broken I would become from their use. No doubt he already had a form picked out for himself. How cool it would be to become a vampire, or a ghost or maybe a werewolf. What he didn’t know, however, was that as clever as he thought he was – there was more to me than doe eyes, a bra, and makeup. He had messed with the wrong girl, and it didn’t matter if he was a gang member, or how many crimes he committed in the past, he was going to regret the day he met Alexandra Cain.
“Change how?” I asked, patiently waiting for his answer, and ready to critique every word that tripped out his mouth. “How are you trying to change, exactly?”
“I’m tired of being with Blood Snow.
