Chapter Seventeen
Time to try
Behaving was usually Brooke's strong point; in fact Brooke had never been grounded in her life before let alone given detention during her high school years yet she was struggling to contain herself when around Godric.
All Brooke wanted was to be with Godric; sure Brooke liked to make out just as much as the next person but it had been three weeks of making out on the couch and Brooke was starting to lose her patience and self-control.
"I think it is romantic Godric wanting to wait. I mean it's better than him ripping out your throat right?" Iris tried to spin a positive out of a negative; she couldn't help it. Iris was madly in love almost to the point of Brooke wanting to duct tape Iris's mouth shut.
Not in a mean serial killer kind of way but in a friendly and loving way of course.
"Maybe it would be worth losing my throat."
"You're joking right?" Iris tried to hold in the gasp but Brooke has never been the type to even joke about killing herself.
"That was my vagina talking. I mean you have no idea how bad we want it and the make out sessions aren't helping. Oh my god! I sound like a sex freak." Brooke couldn't help but blush; it was embarrassing.
Brooke wasn't the type of girl that was all about having lots of crazy sex and one night stands. To Brooke it meant more than just a physical act between two people. It was about the connection and the love Brooke felt for the other person.
It was a very old school way of thinking, but Brooke couldn't help it. Her now deceased mother used to read Brooke fairy tales every night and talked about the importance of true love. The downside was the expectations Brooke held about relationships, romance and her "prince charming".
How the hell did I end up with a vampire? Brooke couldn't help but ask herself although after she really thought about it; it wasn't that crazy considering Brooke's drop kick ex-boyfriend Todd. He completely fooled Brooke with his fake and charming personality.
Lesson learnt.
"Well just hang in there," Iris chuckled as she leaned forward and directed her speech towards Brooke's pelvis area.
"We will try," Brooke couldn't help but laugh along with Iris.
Iris had her own special ability of being able to make Brooke smile and laugh even during Brooke's most desperate and depressing times. Of course Iris wasn't part fae like Brooke but more like a super hero; at least that was how Brooke saw Iris.
"Hey I'm back," Brooke spoke quietly as she entered Godric's house. Brooke didn't need to yell because of Godric's vampire hearing; just another thing that Brooke loved about Godric.
The nest was dead quiet and almost eerie. Brooke was used to the house being full of vampires; it was a nice surprise and hope rose in Brooke immediately. Was tonight going to be the night?
Just the thought was making Brooke want to sing and dance of course she refrained from embarrassing herself.
Stop being an idiot as if tonight is going to be the night. Brooke couldn't help but roll her eyes at the depressing thought.
"You know I can get you a job somewhere else vampire free," Godric suddenly appeared in front of Brooke. If she wasn't used to his vampire behaviour than she would have jumped in fright and probably said a few curse words just to top it off.
"I don't need another job; I'm safe right since I'm yours?" Brooke asked as her hands entwined with his. It was impossible not to get lost in his blue-green eyes but somehow against all odds; Brooke managed to give Godric her full attention.
Godric didn't know how to put it nicely but Brooke was never going to be safe; not with the fae blood coursing through her veins. If Godric wasn't so selfish he would have sent Brooke somewhere safe, but he just couldn't let her go besides Brooke was safest by Godric's side it was the only way he could protect her.
"I won't let anyone hurt you but it doesn't mean there aren't vampires that will try just to taste you."
Brooke had been trying her hardest not to think about other vampires and the fact that she was crack to them; the highly addictive kind that they would kill for.
"How did my life get so messed up? I mean I was going to go to College, study psychology and make something of myself." One minute Brooke was doing great at school; she may not have been top of the class but Brooke was set up to get into the college of her choice until Todd ruined everything.
Stop blaming Todd; you're the idiot that fell for his act. You're the reason you didn't get into college. Brooke silently vented.
"Everyone makes mistakes Brooke. I've lost count of mine besides you're only 18 years old and your life is just beginning," Godric squeezed Brooke's hand reassuringly. He hated that Brooke tortured herself over her past mistakes especially since they were so small.
"I know I just had this idea of what my life was going to be like, and I wasn't meant to be working at a hotel for vampires."
"Apply for college; the new semester is starting soon and I can get you in without having to kill or harm anyone."
"Are you serious? How?" Brooke's face lit up with excitement; just the thought was leaving her giddy.
"I know some people that can help you; they owe me favours and it's time I called them in."
"Will you come with me?" Brooke asked hopeful.
"Where you go I go." Godric couldn't leave Brooke's side unless she ordered him too. Even then he would lurk in the shadows and watch over Brooke; he would be her protector whether Brooke wanted it or not.
"But you're the sheriff I can't ask you to do that for me."
"Where you go I go." Godric repeated and he immediately felt the joy and happiness as it began to envelop Brooke; it was contagious. Godric couldn't help but smile along with her.
He would take them as far away from vampires as possible and they would find a small place off campus which would be their place; no other vampires allowed.
If someone had told Godric in that past that he would find the perfect girl that wanted to be with him as much as he wanted to be with her; Godric would just laugh and brush it off. He was determined to be alone; it was his punishment for causing nothing but pain and robbing innocents of their lives.
"I never thought my prince charming would turn out to be a 2,000 year old vampire," Brooke couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. Unlike Iris Brooke wasn't excited to be working at a hotel for vampires. The thought alone scared Brooke but she couldn't pass up the salary.
The very last thing Brooke expected to be was a fang banger although technically Brooke wasn't just yet. Besides Brooke wasn't banging different vampires every weekend and letting them feed on her.
"I'm not a prince charming," Godric disagreed. The words Godric used to describe himself frequently were monster and abomination although just by being around Brooke Godric was starting to realise that he wasn't the vampire he used to be. That he could change and try to make amends and fix his past mistakes.
"Let's agree to disagree." Brooke smiled before running her hands up his chest. Her eyes immediately focussed on his curved lips and Godric didn't need to be a mind reader to know what Brooke wanted; he wanted it to.
Godric gently gripped Brooke's hips as he pressed his lips against Brooke's. He was going to try. He had to try. If he waited any longer than the chances of hurting Brooke would increase; the chances of him losing control because of the fae blood would become higher.
"Are we going to--" Brooke started to ask after she pulled away slightly.
"I'm going to try," Godric interrupted and stressed the last word. He didn't want to sound too hopeful. There was a high chance that he would have to stop before they even got started.
Godric didn't want to leave Brooke disappointed.
Within the blink of an eye Godric had them moved from the lounge room to the bed and Brooke had to resist the urge to pinch herself just to make sure it was real and not a dream.
"I know you won't hurt me."
