.“So where are you two taking me tonight?” Craig asked as he lifted his feet onto the coffee table.“Actually I was planning to leave.I wanted to give you two time to catch up,” I offered.“Woah! Gorgeous and not a clinger? Don’t let this one slip mate.”“I was stupid before.Trust me, I don’t plan to let her go,” Kellan acknowledged kissing my head.I leaned into his arms and enjoyed the moment.I didn’t want it to end.After an hour of silently listening to Kellan and Craig catch up, of which half the time I was clueless due to unfamiliar names, locations and Craig’s semi-Aussie, semi-created lingo, I dismissed myself.Both of them hugged me good-bye and Kellan promised to call me later.Turns out Craig’s visit was perfect timing since Kellan’s parents, Beth and Al, were away for the night.Everything worked out; Kellan was happy to see Craig again.By the time I left their session, he was practically glowing.He was in his element and, I thought, thankful for a little piece of home.As for me, all I could feel was relief and elation.Kellan and I had been restored which was sure to improve all the other aspects of my life.Chapter 4I got in my car and pulled away back onto the road.I grabbed my cell phone and called the only person I could, Mel.“Hey Lex, you okay? You totally freaked me today!” she answered.“I’m okay; better.I picked up Craig.You’re gonna die when you meet him.”“Ooh! Dish!”“How about a mid-week java run? I can spill all the nitty griddy in person.”“Sounds delish.My mom is at practice with Kyle though.”“Um, hello? I drive now…”“Oh yeah.Well get your little butt over here!”“Aw, I love you! You called my butt little.”“And it’s going to be red if you don’t pick me up soon.”“Enticing but so unnecessary.I’m in your driveway,” I replied feeling smug.“Oh.Well I’ll be down in a sec,” she stumbled; I could tell I’d caught her off guard.“I’m counting,” I taunted before closing my phone.I heard her sloshing through the house cleaning last minute before finally setting the alarm.A few seconds later she was outside heading towards my car.The moment she opened the passenger door she blurted, “Okay.I’m here.Now I need details.What happened with you and Kellan? And I need an inch by inch of Craig.”“First, buckle up.You’re riding with an immortal but you’re not one.Next breathe.And last, settle in for delivery,” I smiled as I backed out of her driveway.“Yea, yea.Get to the good stuff,” she pushed anxiously fidgeting in her seat.“Well, me and Kellan are good.When I first got there with Craig he was defensive and asked why I was even there.That’s when Craig jumped in and cracked a joke that he was my secret lover.A minute more of explanation by me and Craig and I was in Kellan’s arms again.”“Did he apologize? I will lay the smack down if he didn’t,” she jumped in defensively.“You can chill.He apologized, though I would pay money to watch you ring around the rosey with him.”“Ha.Ha.At least you know I’ve got your back.”“Always, and vice versa.”“Enough mush.Get to Craig,” she commanded, squeezing her hands together in excitement.“Four words: hottie with a body.You will swoon.He is so perfect for you!”“Details Lex!” she cried in desperation as if I’d left her with the main character teetering on death.“He’s 5’11”, golden blonde hair with a bit of brown and platinum blended; it’s long enough to slick back but short enough to look clean.He’s got a light tan, guess Seattle killed most of it.Um, he looks like he just stepped off the Aussie plane.He’s got a slim but muscular body; think Kelly Slater minus five pounds.He has blue eyes, a model’s nose, and soft lips with a bit of a pout.Basically he’s perfect for you,” I detailed finishing just as we arrived at Barnes and Noble.“O.M.G.Lex.I will give up Starbucks for a year and even sacrifice my solitary pair of black Louboutin pumps for one look at him! I’m so hyperventilating! He sounds so… so… yummy!” she declared, exasperated by the mental image alone.“Oh.Did I mention he has an accent?” I asked as we stepped out of the car.Mel sat back down in the passenger seat and closed her door.“Take me to him,” she demanded.“What?” I laughed, leaning in to peer at her.I heard her clearly thanks to my vampments – that’s what I’d decided to call my vampeen enhancements a.k.a.my heightened senses and new fit physique.“Lex.You just swirled cookie dough in front of a diabetic
