Chapter 87

' You seem nervous." Arianna says, her eyes glued to Paul whose eyes were staring at the moon. ' It's the moon. It's changing." Paul replies worriedly. ' And you don't like that?." Arianna asks out if curiosity, her eyes landing on the moon too. Weirdly she finds it beautiful, so eye appealing. She feels like she is beginning to like this better than the regular moon. ' No, I don't." He replies and starts to pace up and down the room. ' I never thought that my birthday will fall on that of the Orange moon." He explains as he wonders what type of pressure will be on him now. ' Vamps say it never comes out unless for a reason." Arianna explains although she is also curious as to why it is out on this day. ' It isn't supposed to be out till October." She whispers. ' That's the problem. I don't know why it is out now and I don't know what to expect." He replies and run his fingers through his hair. ' You will mess you hair up, Paul." Arianna cautions and steps close to put the hair back in place and bring his hand down. ' This moon is already messing up my day so I guess that makes us even." Paul says with worry which causes Arianna to intertwine her fingers with his and squeeze it softly. ' You will be fine, Paul. We are here for you." She assures, staring into his eyes. ' I know." He replies. ' What of Aurora and Ian?." He asks and break the contact to look around. ' They had to go check on the prom, to make sure we don't miss anything but they will be back soon." She replies, looking away too. ' My birthday falls on prom and the Orange moon. Just perfect!." He yells. ' Isn't that supposed to make you happy?." She asks and lets go of his hand. ' How?." He asks, a brow raised as he stares keenly at her. ' I mean it's exciting to know that it won't be an ordinary boring day like that of the humans. Most of them just sits at home and suck on ice creams, watch a movie and probably sleep. Some never even get to have sex on their birthdays." She explains. ' But I am also not having sex today." He replies. ' I know but at least you get a go ahead to do most things now. Most things like sex." She continues. ' Hmm. I don't know. I don't think I want to yet." He responds. ' Have you had any yourself?." He asks and it suddenly gets awkward for them both. ' Huh!:" Arianna coughs, her eyes widen. She had never thought that the discussion would go in this direction. ' Sorry. I'm sorry, I got carried away." Paul apologizes. ' It's fine." Arianna replies. ' We are back." They hear Mr Smith call out from the sitting room and they immediately step away from the balcony to go meet them. ' What took you so long?." Paul asks and hugs his Father. At one point the thought of his Father getting arrested again had crossed his mind and heavens knows it had really disorganized him. ' Don't mind your Father. He insisted on getting you more gifts." Mrs. Smith says and eyes him playfully. ' Good day Mr and Mrs Smith." Arianna greets. ' Hi dear." Mrs Smith says sweetly and pulls her close in a hug. ' How are you doing?." She asks softly. ' Better now." Arianna replies and is glad that she doesn't push the conversation further. ' I got you a gift as well." Mr Smith says to Arianna. ' You did? Why? It's not like it's my birthday." She says. ' I know. It's more like a ‘thank you' gift and trust that I am not trying to bribe you. I got gifts for the others too. Speaking of them, where are they?." Mr Smith asks, his eyes moving around the room. ' They are yet to be back from an errand." Paul replies. ' We should try setting things up before they arrive." He adds and leads the way into the kitchen. Arianna follows but doesn't really attend to anything there as all she does is look at the handsome Vamp in front of him, watching his beautiful lips move as he moves his body to hang the decorations. ' Did you get me?." His force floods her ears. ' Huh!." Arianna says suddenly snapping out of her dreamland. ' I need you to pass me the nails." He repeats. ' Oh!." She exclaims and stretches it to him after picking it from the table. ' I called your name several times but you seemed lost in thought. Are you okay?." Paul asks worriedly and just like before all she do is imagine the taste of his lips on her, the softness of it. She notices his eyes still staring down at her. ' Yea. Yea, I'm fine." She replies. ' Okay." He responds and go back to attending to his work. To distract herself from thinking about him, she walks up to Mrs Smith to ask if there is anything she can help with. ' Of course dear. I need someone to help me get the cake down from the car." She responds. ' I will do that." Arianna replies and excitedly walks away heading towards the door and out. Deep down she is more than happy to help. He crosses her thought again, the Vamp of her dreams. The one Vamp she can't just get her mind off and she immediately knew she had to do something about that.
