FM December Topic - Shhh

"Shhh," I said, when Jude protested the new job I'd gotten. He kept insisting that he could take care of me. Kacie was never at the beach house, so even if his parents ever did decide to come home from Europe, I'd still have a place to live. He said that he'd pay my cell phone, and buy me clothes, and take me out to dinner every night so that I was ( Read more... )

It was hard not to glance over my shoulder now everywhere I went. After Lexi's generalized threats on instant messenger, I'd been watching and waiting for her to show up.

"Just checking." I said, laughing as I reached over and hit Jude playfully, ending his mock surrender as he pretended to be really wounded. Pshaw. I'd barely hit him! Definitely not to even half the capacity I'd found I have when Lexi took me to a vampire bar and made me bait. I guess I still needed Kennedy to train me. I was just trying to figure everything else out at that moment before I could sign myself up for something like that ( ... )
