POV Ajar: A Sexy Red Dress

I look in the mirror. If anyone could say I looked good, I'd be damn near handsome as the devil himself.

As I go to grab my phone, my Dad walked into the room "Where are you going?" I look towards him, putting my phone in my pocket and rolled my eyes. Lately, my old man has been on my back none stop. It's starting to get annoying "Old man, what's your deal, huh? What did I do wrong?- You've been closing me for two weeks straight. I'm starting to feel like a bat in a cage." throwing on my shoes he replies with confident words of reinsurance "You're my son, Ajar. The next heir to the Vampire Council. Your becoming of age and there are still things you don't know.." he saddens "I'm just trying to look out for you, son.." I look at him angry "Don't do that." He looks at me with general confusion "What are you talking about?"

I felt I could snap.

"Don't act like you've been a good father. I got use to it, when you played it in front of company. But, when we're alone. Drop the act." I walk passed him, making it clear for him to hear "There's enough fakes already, as it is."

As I walked out of my mansion, I see Magnolia playing with her hair at the first gates. Lifting her head up, she spots me and in vamp speed, approached me "A fight with your Dad?" smiling mischievously, while asking the question. I pushed her aside and began to walk "It's not cool to eavesdrop in on people's conversations." She's walks by my side "I have vampire hearing, Ajar. You of all people know, we can't turn that off."

One of the times, being human wasn't so bad. When people talked, you wouldn't hear what people said about you or others. It showed we wouldn't have to actually care, instead of pretending we don't.

Magnolia's hand grips my arm, stopping me in my tracks. I look at her "What?" she smiles "Instead of going to our regular, yet boring clubbing palace. Let's go to a new one." I smiled, turning to her putting my hands in my jeans pocket "Okay. Where to?" She digs into her leather jacket and hands me a piece of paper.

"It's X's brother's new reclaimed club." I look at her questionably, unfolding the paper "You still hang out with X?" she laughs at the question "Well duh, Ajar. He is a vampire too, ya know." I look at the paper, where it clearly says in neon colors 'Club: SEEK THE NIGHT.' I nod, handing her back the paper "Just because he's a vampire too. Doesn't mean I want to hang with him." she rolled her eyes taking the paper back "Whatever. He seems cool enough. Plus, I hear this rumor that he wants to turn this girl he likes." She shrugs like it wasn't a problem. Plus I didn't care. But Seth would.

"I bet your brother would kick X ass for having that train of thought." she laughs, nodding in agreement "He sure would. He's just like our Dad in that way. Always putting the Council agreement first." I laughed with her as we make our way to the club.

As we got there, we were greeted by familiar faces and some members of the Vampire Council. Well, I'm at the bar, Magnolia breaks off to go chill with some friends.

As I'm about to take a sip of my drink, X sat next to me "Well, look what the bats dragged in. Ajar Felon- SOON to be one of the leading Vampire Council members." I faced him, only seeing him with a proud smug face "What do you want X?" making me feel even worst for asking the question. The bartender lays out a bowl of cherries and X took one "Nothing much really, just came to brag about the two hot girls that came with me tonight. Think you might know'em." He smiles but I wasn't taking pleasure in the fact, knowing someone I know was here "Do you enjoy being a dick, Xavier?" He is no longer smiling "I would prefer you stuck with X, Ajar." bringing up my glass, I smiled "So, where is the two hot girls I 'might' know." X went back to his normal playboy smile "Their right over there!" as he yelled over the loud speakers.

While my attention grow more aware of where he was pointing. There she was, standing in the most amazing red dress I've ever seen on a girl. She was so gorgeous to be mistaken for someone you don't see in the halls everyday. I quickly slam my drink on the table and pulled X up by his shirt "Why the hell is she her?!" I questioned. Not being able to control the rage that has come over me. X is drawn aback by this reaction and so was I.

"Dude! Chill!" he pushes me "What the hell is your problem?! They came to have fun. Why else would they be here?" a million things ran through my mind. Things that even Magnolia said. What if Fiona was the girl he liked and wanted to turn?

There were so many 'what if's' at this point. But the main point was, why did I care? I had nothing to do with her. She was just a girl I ran into in the halls. But, even when I knew that. The bowling rage was not resting.

"I know what fun is jackass! But why here?! This is a vampire club, isn't it?!" X rolled his eyes "This isn't the 1920's, Felon. Weather your human or vampire. All is welcomed in this club." fixing his shirt, he glared at me. While the neon lights in the club circled around the room and danced in the midst of the club. I pushed my drink to X "Whatever your planning, it ends tonight." I moved across the dance floor and came face to face with Fiona. The way she looked at me said one or very few things but I wasn't going to make that stop me from getting her ass out of here. Her presence made me uneasy and bothered. I didn't like that feeling.

My stare on her was lingering. Almost made me forget what I came here to do in the first place. I grabbed her arm, specking loud and clearly, to where she and only her could hear me "You need to leave!"

If that wasn't a slap to the face, then I don't know what it was. Because before I could react, her hand printed across my face in one smooth, CLAP!

"I don't answer to you jerk!"

My reaction had me still. Did she just slapped me? The girl I hardly knew- NO! A girl I have been drawn to and tried to push away.. slapped me?..

I was stunned. I could only look at her as her friend made it to her side in defense, jerking her arm away from my grip "Hey! Back off douche lord. The heck is your problem!?" I was now only hearing the voice of her friend going off on me "Why don't you go back to your friends or something. We only came to have fun. I mean, seriously what did my friend do to you?"

I rolled my eyes, I didn't care about what her friend thought. There was probably about a hundred and more vampires here tonight, and one of them had an agenda. I gripped Fiona's arm again, pushing her friend aside. I honestly wanted to things calmly but it looks like that wouldn't be an option.

I dragged her by the arm, making our way to the back door. I could hear her friend yelling as she lost us in the crowd, and I couldn't explain how that was a good thing. When, we made it to the back door, she yanked her arm out of my grip and glared at me.

"Your explanation best be good." She says angrily.

I laughed like that was a joke "I don't need one, if I just want you out of here." She steps to me but not angry. More subtle and pleading "Ajar, you feel something for me don't you? You feel exactly the same as I do now. The connection between us.." I look at her unable to deny anything. I wasn't sure if I should say yes or no. But she was right about the connection, and her looking damn good in that dress was not helping my case.

"It doesn't matter what we feel. What matters is that it won't happen." As I went to walk off, she grabs my hand "You just don't get to walk away from this! Just up till now, the only person I only thought about was Seth. And out of nowhere, I can't stop thinking about you! I have never been bold. I always stayed in my corner." she grips my hand tighter "But for some reason, something in me is desperately telling me to not let you go.." she sadly looks at me. That look on her face almost broke my heart. I didn't want to see her like that but I didn't want to stay either. I wanted to hold her and kiss her. Make her my whole damn world but Seth's words rang through my ear. I had to stay away from her..

But just like Fiona said, something is desperately telling me otherwise.

I closed the distance between us, wrapping my arms around her waste "If I kiss you, and we don't feel anything. Let's leave each other alone. Deal?"

"I wouldn't need a deal in this world if it meant I could kiss you." she replies, and with that I kissed her. At first, I just felt normal until I wanted more of her. She jumped wrapping her legs around my waist, as I pushed her up against the brick wall of the club. I trailed her skin with kisses as my hand travelled up her leg, just getting close enough to go under her dress to touch her beautiful bare skin.

I felt myself growing excited because my fangs ascended from my gums. I could feel the need to bite her. Mark her, so people knows she isn't up for grabs. My mind was losing ground because my month grew more closer to her neck, until we were stopped.

"Ajar!"
