An Unchecked Love Story

It took awhile for me to digest all that’s been said. A million thoughts were running through my mind. I wanted to know more, I didn’t want to become a vampire, I didn’t even want to know Auden’s part of the story. So, I finally find someone that I connect with, and there’s always a problem, as if it’s me trying to download something and an error window keeps popping up. It wasn’t fair at all.

The next morning I got up to go to school. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to see Auden –well of course I did– but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to talk to him about any of this.

He waited by my locker as usual, smiling. I smiled back, but he could somehow tell there was tense in me.

“What’s wrong beautiful?” He asked.
I couldn’t help but smile, seeing perfection in every part of his body, “A lot of things,” I managed to say.
“Would you like to share them?”
“No thanks.”
“Alright, well lets head to class.” He said, grabbing my hand.

Holding my hand seemed to be a crime, everyone stared at us as we walked through the hallway.

The day was slowly dragging. I wanted all this to be over already. It was finally lunch, I really didn’t have an appetite.

“Isabelle?” Auden questioned.
“Yeah?”
“What’s the matter?”
“Nothing…”
“Don’t tell me nothing. You’ve been moping around all day. I want my Belles back.”
I didn’t reply.

He put his arm around my waist and kissed the side of my face. His hands slowly started to tickled me. I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Come on! Stop!” I said, laughing.
“Not until you tell me what’s wrong!”
“No!”
“Fine, then I guess I’m not stopping!” He said, making giggles come out like never before.
“Fine, fine, fine. I’ll tell you!”

He finally stopped tickling me. Thank God.

“Later.” I added.

I caught his hand before he could start tickling me again.

“I pinky promise.” I stated, putting my pinky out.

His pinky joined mine.

“Fine, but when?”
“After school.”
“It’s a deal.”
