Chapter 7 - You Can’t Judge a Book by the Cover

Twenty plus hours in the air and one layover later, we finally landed at Denpasar International Airport in Bali. Stefan and I made our way through the airport, heading over to baggage claim to collect our suitcases.

“Wait here and I will get our things,” Stefan said, motioning to a bank of chairs. He swept across the room, turning heads as he stood with the group waiting for their belongings, his long arms crossed over his broad chest.

As he waited patiently for the luggage to make its way around to him, I just stood back and admired the view. He easily stood eight inches above the other men around him and his blond good looks set him apart in any crowd. To me, he would always be the most stunning creature I’d ever seen. My dream man.

When he found our luggage, he casually tossed the long strap over his broad shoulder, grinning widely as he swaggered towards me.

“I always seem to catch you staring. Are you eye fucking me, Josephine?” he mused and leaned to nip at my lips with his blunt teeth. “I love it.”

He reached for my hand and we walked together, dodging people as they darted through the airport. It wasn’t until I heard an excited, loud shriek that I realized how we were getting home.

“Josie!” Georgia squealed. She ran towards me, almost tackling me in her haste to hug me. She twirled me around and hugged me tightly. She released me from her freakishly-strong grip and gave Stefan a slow onceover flippantly, her nose crinkling as if she’d smelled something bad.

I could see they still had miles to go before they’d be friends. It was silly of me to hope that in their case, absence would make the heart grow fonder. Wrong. In the back of my mind, I supposed it didn’t really matter if they were friends. We were moving back to the US and I was leaving my so-called human life behind me, learning to live as an immortal hybrid. If I were to be completely honest, the thought of disappearing from Anna and Georgia’s lives broke my heart. There was just no other way around it. It would only be a matter of time until they noticed Stefan and I were different. I thought back to Nikolaus’s words. We were unchanging anomalies.

“Georgia.” Stefan inclined his head and managed a forced smile. At least I could say he was trying to be civil.

Georgia chose to ignore him, instead focusing her attention back on me. A smile broke over her face, her blue eyes glowing, bouncing around with energy that could rival Lukas. “Anna was supposed to pick you up but she ended up getting stuck with a client. So she called me and here I am, at your service!”

“Lucky me. Remind me to pay Anna next time to take the day off of work if we need a ride from the airport.” Stefan was unusually sarcastic today.
