her.
I stay seated next to Andrew on the couch, while we both watch TV. Andrew has it on some sport channel, and is making me watch football. I never have understood football, even though Andrew has attempted numerous times to educate me on the sport.
“Alex,” I hear Ora yell. “I've missed you so much, beautiful!” I look over and stare at Ora. She is drop dead gorgeous. She is tall and thin, with perfectly straight blond hair. The black dress she is wearing hugs her thin body. How can I stay calm when Andrew's ex-girlfriend looks like a runway model? Any girl would dream to look like her.
Jealousy is starting to fill my body. These few days are going to be the longest of my life.
“Ora!” Alex yells as they begin jumping up and down as they hold onto each other's hands. “Where have you been? I have missed you so much!”
“I've been everywhere. You know me, baby,” Ora laughs. Her teeth are perfectly straight and sparkling white.
Andrew stands up, and I do the same. I'm next to him and hold his hand so Ora knows that he is mine.
“Andrew,” Ora says softly. She runs up to him and jumps in his arms. Did she not see me right here?
“Hello, Ora,” Andrew replies as he hugs her back.
I stand next to them and clear my throat. Andrew's hands fall off of Ora. “This is my love, Nina,” Andrew introduces.
“Nina,” Ora answers with a half smile on her face. “I've heard a lot about you.”
“All good things, I hope,” I flash a fake smile.
“Of course,” Ora laughs. “Andrew, how have you been? I have missed the Madsen family so much!”
“I've been good.”
“You've been good?” Ora asks as her eyebrows rise. “Why am I here then? You obviously got yourself into a horrible situation for a healer girl.”
"Excuse me?" I can't believe what I'm hearing. Hello! Healer girl standing right here!
“Come on, Nina. They wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for you,” Ora announces. She is one bipolar vampire. She was just all smiles and now she's being a bitch.
“Ora, watch it. This isn't her fault,” Andrew states.
“Who are the Sulivic Brothers after?” Ora asks sarcastically. “All of the healers.” As those words leave her mouth, I want to put my fist in her face, but she is a vampire and would kill me immediately. I don't have a fighting chance against her.
“It doesn't matter who they are after, we are all in this together. If you have a problem with that, then you can leave,” Andrew says in a matter of fact manner.
“I'm sorry, but that needed to be said.” Ora shrugs her shoulders.
“No, it wasn't neccessary.”
Alex clear her voice. “Ora, let me show you to the guest room.”
Andrew and Ora stare at each other for a minute. Andrew looks pissed of. Then, Ora winks at Andrew and walks with Alex to the guest bedroom.
“What a bitch,” I admit.
“She isn't always like that,” Andrew says.
“Are you defending her after what just happened?” I ask.
“No, Nina. I'm just saying, she never used to be like that,” Andrew states. “You're right though, she was being a bitch.”
“So, how long is she staying for?” I ask as I sit back down on the couch.
“A week or two She's only
