Chapter Six
Walking out of that club was hard when I still wanted Andreas as much as I saw he wanted me. Apparently it meant nothing to him that he was banging his brother’s ex-girl.
I didn’t care either. What loyalty did I have to Haven? In fact, I had done it partly because I wanted him to know. I almost hoped he was hiding in a closet somewhere chewing his lips off for jealously, while we got it on in Andreas’ office. It would serve him right.
For the next week and a half, I read everything I could get my hands on regarding vampires. I needed it for my own survival, but also to find out what the night walker’s weaknesses were. Getting the material wasn’t always easy, especially since I was back to avoiding feeding, which meant weakness, which meant more sleep. When I slept too late, the library closed and everything else. I was left wandering around the streets late at night. But that was only when I dared to venture out there. Somehow, I still clung to the attitude that I was just a defenseless woman who should not be out alone after dark. I learned differently real quickly.
I woke up at ten-thirty. The library I had intended to visit to return the books I borrowed had closed at nine. Craving a cigarette, I walked down to the corner store, but it was closed. That meant humping it down to 7-Eleven. I checked out my footwear, wondering if I should risk walking almost a mile in my heels. Not that I owned any flats at the moment. I just have a serious thing for heels, the higher the better.
Deciding to just risk it, I turned left instead of right at the corner, which would have led back to my street. The night was cool. A breeze blew my hair in my face, and I put up a pale hand to brush it away. I had noticed when I didn’t drink blood, I looked more like the walking dead. Not ugly or freakish, but pale. One of the books I’d read said vampires got their coloring from drinking blood. I had had the stupid idea that that couldn’t possibly refer to a coffee-colored sista like myself. I was wrong.
As late as it was, people sat on their steps and kids played in front of their parents on the sidewalk. I scanned the area ahead of me for trouble. A couple of guys were huddled on the corner laughing and jostling one another. I considered crossing the street, but held my ground.
When I was within a few feet, the male attention shifted to me. Why I hadn’t thought twice about my tight clothing with cleavage in plain sight was beyond me.
“Hey, baby, want a ride?” one of the guys called out as I passed.
Oh, original. I kept walking.
He wouldn’t be put off. A guy like him couldn’t look bad in front of his boys. When his hand dropped on my shoulder, I shrugged him off.
