lighting in the room, I gulped. “ Yes, thank you . I t’s good to hear the words. I’ll remember.”
His tense face calmed . “Good.” He rubbed his fingers against his jawline, making a scratching sound. “And… ” he paused, and I stopped breathing . Did he expect us to talk now? I couldn’t . No way .
But I didn’t need to worry. His uneasiness was re placed with joy. “Have you had a chance to look through the dresses? Did you notice the red one near the back? That’s the one I’d pick for you.”
Confused, I racked by brain to figure out what he meant. Then I remembered the book of dresses from Vera Wang. Ohhhhhh . I hadn’t spotted a red dress, but then I hadn’t gone through the entire book yet. I wanted to tell him the red dress would be perfect, just to get the whole ordeal over with. I did not understand fashio n. But, if Cindy found out I’d had an exclusive book full of couture dresses and hadn’t let her look through it, well , my life would be over.
“Near the back?” I repeated, placing a foot on the bottom step.
“That’s right.”
“I’ll be sure to check it out, and let you know in the next couple of days. Will that be okay?”
“Of course.” Professor Pops waved me away, and I took the remaining stairs two at a time.
On my way out of the house , I said good-bye to five of the seven brothers . Dorian and Gabe weren’t around , which reminded me that I hadn’t heard from Cindy since chemistry . I really hoped she was okay.
In the brisk night air, I glanced at the stars, each one so bright, like the moon. Inhaling, I tried to calm myself. The thought of being alone with Christopher did things to me—to my heart, l ow in my belly. Without thought, I started to cross our yards , hurrying t hrough the thick trees and brush. When I reached the stairs leading up to my back porch, I noticed several lights in the house turned on—upstairs too. He’d snooped.
What are you up to, I thought, my heart skipping several beats.
Flinging open the door, I hollered, “I’m back, Chri —”
For a moment, I think my heart stopped. Sitti ng at the dining room table was my dad, and stepmother.
“Hello, dear,” my stepmother said , a cruel smile lifting her lips . “Surprise.”
Afterword
I hope you enjoyed the continuation of Blood and Snow, The Vampire Christopher. The Hunter aka Chace aka Christopher Charming is one of my favorite characters. He’s handsome, mysterious, and oh, so edible. I realize there are many books about vampires to choose from , and I appreciate you taking the time to read mine.
If you loved “The Vampire Christopher ,” would you do me a huge favor? Go back to amazon , and leave an honest review. It only takes a couple of minutes, and will help me a great deal.
Thank you!
