The Vampire Next Door

Chapter 11

{Sarah's P.O.V}

 I was curled up in my bed listening to some music, and going through the pictures I took earlier today in London. I heard the door shutting echo in the empty house, "Sarah, I'm home", my mom called from downstairs. I glanced at the clock beside me, 12:03am. She's early today, strange. I mean not early, you know, she usually gets back at 1 or 2 in the morning, sometimes I just don't understand her job. I went downstairs and made my way to the kitchen. It's where she heads first right after work. "Hey mom", I greeted happily. "Hey sweetie!", she greeted with the same tone. "Someone looks happy", she nudged me playfully. I blushed and looked down at my slippers. "Hmm..", my mom stared at me with a thinking face. "What?", I asked. "Nothing", she shrugged...

The next day, I woke up to a person nudging me playfully. "wakey wakey, vanilla shakey!", it was Mia. I fluttered my eyes open and stared at her for a while, "What...are you doing?", I mumbled. "Twilight breaking dawn 2 is now playing at the cinemas! We must go there! The movie starts at 1.. and now it's 11. Get moving! Go!". She pulled my hand dragging me to the bathroom, "Okay okay! just.. let me take a quick shower ok?". Then I went inside.

After I finished getting ready, Mia was waiting outside in her car. I was heading outside as I heard my phone ring in my pocket, glancing at the caller ID, it was Harry. A small smile crept its way on my face as I answered, "Hello?". "Hello beautiful", I heard the husky low voice on the other end of the line. I couldn't help but blush, "Hi", I blurted. "Free today?", he asked. "My friend Mia has invited me to watch a movie at the theatres at 1. Wanna join?", I'm sure Mia won't mind. "Hmm..What's the movie?" "Twilight, and don't judge. I actually like it". I know how some of the guys hate the living daylights of such movies with extra romance, so I'm thinking Harry might be one of them? There was silence on the phone as I waited for a reply, "Harry? You still there?". "Uh, yeah, sorry... Honestly, I don't like this movie. Free yourself tomorrow for dinner, with me, okay?". I knew it, he hated those movies.. oh well.. "Okay", I answered. Mia honked the car, singnaling for me to hurry up. "Gotta go Harry, bye" "Bye". I hung up and rushed to Mia's car.. why was he so strange?

*hours later*

We were on our way back home. After the movie ended, we decided to have lunch together at the mall and spend the day there. It was 6:00pm. I glanced at the window thinking randomly and letting my thoughts wander, 'The movie would have been much better..if the vampires were real! Oh my goodness what if they were real? That would be so cool, or freaky, or cool. I don't know' Yes.. sometimes I can be that random. My thoughts wandered some more until I realised we reached the neighborhood. "Mia, you wanna sleep over tonight?", I asked. I'm getting really lonely in the house when mom's gone, so I thought it would be good if she agrees to join me. "Awh. I'm sorry..but I really can't tonight, Nick is coming over", she replied with a wink. Oh yeah, I forgot about her boyfriend.. oh well. "No problem cutie. See you later", I hopped out of her car and shut the car door. "Bye!", she blew me a kiss and pulled away.

I unlocked the front door and went inside, closing it behind me. I took off my shoes and went upstairs to change into something more comfortable. After I finished, I went downstairs and poured me a glass of orange juice and turned on the TV.. nothing, boring, scary, cartoon, I kept on switching the channels until I gave up. I pulled out my phone and called Harry... I don't know why I was calling him. It took him long enough to answer, "Hello?", he answered, almost whispering. "Hi Harry", I smiled. "Haz. Pass the blood sack ... Uh. Could you wait for a sec?", he asked, I swear I heard one of the background voices saying 'pass me the blood sack'? I think I must've heard it wrong. Stupid me. Apparently he moved to a quiet place, because the background voices were gone. "Hey", he started. "Uh, Harry if I'm interrupting something I'll just, call you later?'' "No no it's fine..", he replied, "so what's up?". "Uhm, nothing. I'm kind of alone here, nothing on TV, just wanted to say hello", I stared at the couch facing me for no apparent reason. "You want me to come over? We can watch movies if you want?", he suggested, his tone was still low. "Sure", I smiled. "Okay, I'll be there in 15. Bye" "Bye", I hung up. Why 15 minutes? he's just right next to my house. I guess he wasn't home. Damn, I'm sure I heard the word 'blood sack'. Whatever...

About 10 minutes passed by..and I was still waiting for Harry. I went upstairs, grabbed my laptop then went back downstairs. I wanted to read a few articles online just to distract myself a bit and let the time pass. I read few interesting articles and listened to some music on youtube. Suddenly, a long shadow on the floor next to the couch caught my attention. Startled, I turned my head quickly towards the body, I gasped when I saw his figure. "Harry!", I exclaimed, I didn't notice him walk in, how did he even walk in? Still holding my confused look, he came closer and sat next to me on the couch, "How many times should I remind you to lock your door?", his tone was serious, "see now? Anyone would have walked in on you..". He had a point. I closed the laptop and met his gaze, he was still frowning. "Sorry?", I shrugged. Why is he so protective?

"So what do you wanna watch, love?", he asked. "Take a look at the CDs if you want", I got up and got him a box full of of movies. "Hmm..let's watch something classic", he looked through them, scanning. "How about this one?", I pointed to The Mask starring Jim Carrey. This movie is hilarious. He chuckled as he glanced at it, "Okay", I took it from him and put the CD in the DVD player and hit play. He reached his left and turned off the lights. I made some popcorn and returned instantly. The movie started..

Throughout the movie we were laughing almost the whole time. To be honest, Harry has the cutest laugh ever, contrasting his gloomy side. We stayed there, chatting and eating popcorn, enjoying ourselves. There was about 5 minutes left, then Harry's phone began to ring. I paused it for him so he could answer it. "I'll take this", he said. I nodded as I took the empty popcorn bowl to the sink, giving him some privacy on his phone. Being me, I tried to be as quiet as possible so I could catch on some of what he was saying, it was clear, though. "Hey, Lou", He answered and paused. "I'll..tell you later...", then he paused again, "Okay. Bye". Okay.. nothing weird.. I came out of the kitchen as I bumped into him, "Sorry", we both spoke at the same time. He smiled, "Sorry about that, I had to take the call..let's finish the movie?", he asked. I nodded and we went back to our same positions on the couch as I pressed resume.

 The movie ended, and Harry flicked the lights open. I quickly squinched my eyes, not used to the sudden level of brightness. "Walk me to the door so that you'll lock it behind me", he stated. I nodded and followed him. "Did you have fun?", I asked as he was putting his converse shoes on. He finished and smirked, "You're fun", then pinched my left cheek. I giggled, blushing. "Tomorrow at 8pm, sounds good?" "Perfect". "Okay. Goodnight love. Lock the damn door" and with that, he left the house.
