I tapped her once. Her eyes fluttered open and they automatically went to my gaze. I smiled and softly stroked her head. She blinked slowly and yawned. “Breakfast is ready, love.” I gasped and closed my mouth. s**t! WHY THE HELL DID I SAY THAT?! But she blinked slowly again and walked out. As if I never said anything. My face was flaming red. Its okay I told myself. Its fine, she just woke up, she’s still half asleep, she might think it’s a little dream she’s having. Panicked, I raced downstairs and slid down the railing. I landed on my feet and sat at the counter and started to eat. Mark looked over from the sink and raised one eyebrow. “Everything alright little bro?” “What? Oh yeah yeah fine, nothing’s wrong.” I lied as I stuffed my face with pancakes. Lynn calmly smeared butter on her pancakes and poured almost all of the syrup on them and started to eat. She seemed perkier and like herself as she reached for the bacon. “Wow I had a nice night. What about Arron?” “Uh…yeah.” I said shyly. She looked confused. “Are you alright?” “Did you hear what I said to you this morning?” “Yeah,” Oh no… “You said ‘breakfast is ready.’ Why?” I sighed of relief. “It was nothing.” More relaxed, I picked up my fork again and started to eat. “So…here’s the thing I don’t get…” Lynn said out loud. I and my brother turned to look at her. “…So…you don’t drink blood?” I and my brother started to laugh. She looked confused. “We drink blood, but in a bazaar way…” Mark said as he took a strawberry out of the container and flicked up in the air then held his head back and let the fruit fall in his mouth. “We hid it in everyday food.” I explained. “Oh! I see now…then…you don’t hunt animals or anything?” “False. We take blood from the blood bank.” I said as I took another savage bite out of my pancakes. “How do you do that when only nurses are allowed back there?” I nodded my head in Marks direction. “Marks girlfriend is a nurse-in-training. She’s a half- vampire too.” Just as on cue, the doorbell rang and Mark answered. Zoey walked into the kitchen. Today she wore a soft pink long sleeved button-up shirt and a dark blue mini skirt. She had grey leggings and she was wearing some sort of design dress shoes. Mark fixed his pants as he walked in behind her and I rolled my eyes. Zoey looked at Lynn and Lynn looked back. Zoey walked over to Lynn and started poking her. “Hey Mark, why did Arron kidnap a virgin?” “You see, I asked him the same thing last night…” “I DIDN’T KIDNAP HER!” Now I was pissed. It was bad enough that my brother always embarrasses me on a daily basis. “Relax Arron I was only pulling your leg.” Zoey said kindly as she ruffled my hair. “I wasn’t.” Mark said casually and Zoey hit him lightly on the chest. “I know you weren’t.” I mumbled as I started messing with the blueberries on my maple syrup soaked plate. Lynn shrugged off the awkward moment and continued to eat.
