53: Using a Chopper
Mom and Felix was still not home and so as Tessa, so I have no choice but to make my own breakfast. Carter went with me to the kitchen. I just got a bowl and a box of cereals and had some milk.
"That is only your breakfast? I don't eat human food but I had lived long enough to know some things about your kind. Don't you think that is just too light for a meal?" Carter expressed his opinion about my bowl of cereal.
"What is wrong with my breakfast? This is light but nutritious. I don't like heavy breakfast at all. I'm used to this so this would do. Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine with this."
I sat on the high chair in front of the counter top. Carter just stood beside me.
I suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Irish will go out with Peter this night to watch movie outside Lynnwood. She invited us. It is not a bad idea."
"If you want to go, then I will go with you," he said right away as

"Don't tell me you have a chopper at your house's backyard?" I asked while grinning."We don't, but I can buy one. I also knows how to fly one, even a plane," he said plainly, without a hint of arrogance but any human man who would hear it would surely be hit by insecurity."Is there even something that you can't do?" I think it is also a perk of being alive for centuries. You can try out everything without worrying about time."Actually, there is."My eyes narrowed. "What?" Because for me, it seems like there is nothing he can't do. Every time I look at him, he always give me the impression of someone who is capable of doing anything that he would want. He has the air that screams power and authority as though he is invincible. That is why to hear him say himself that there is something that he is not capable of doing, it sounds very new and I can't help but be somehow astonished."I can't stop loving you."The wind blew my hair. Half of hi
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 55: No Problem
The whole time I was aware that I was falling, my eyes were close and there was still that fear that I might hit something down there. Though, the fear slowly faded when I felt how warm and hard the arms wrapped around my body were.Carter's not gonna do something that would hurt me. I hold onto that belief.And when I finally felt the cold water against my skin, I didn't hit onto anything. It was just the cold water, me holding my breath, and the ironclad body against me. I was about to move to swim up, but I froze when in the midst of coldness, I felt warm, soft lips that touched mine, easing the coldness and my fears away.I almost forgot that I couldn't breathe underwater, but with Carter giving me enough air as he kissed me, I had completely forgotten where we are and how cold the water was.I was to carried away that I didn't notice Carter was already swimming our way upward with his ironclad arm around me.
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 56: Perfect for Me
"Hi, Eve! It's good that you have accepted my invitation. Hello, Carter," Irish said enthusiastically with Peter beside her. We just met outside Lynnwood, in the establishment where we agreed to watch the new movie she was talking about."Hi, Eve and uh... Carter," Peter greeted me with a smile but when he mentioned Carter's name and his eyes drifted to him, his smile became uneasy. He looked suddenly nervous.I can't blame him. Carter is such effortlessly intimidating. You know, every time you look at him, the first thing you would notice is his intimidating air that is screaming with authority and dominance like no other. I know because I once experience to be initimidated with him so bad.Actually, Carter still do intimidate me sometimes, but I am much more comfortable with him now that we already have a relationship and we have the chance to know each other deep each day. I only feel awkward around him seldomly, when we talk about s
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 57: Cheating Felix
Right after we finished the movie, Irish told us about the pizza house near here she had long wanted to visit. I just agreed and didn't bother myself about Peter and his views. After all, everyone has a freedom to think whatever they want to, and so as he. It just happened that I was the topic of his thoughts and it wasn't so nice. But then since I can see that he is treating Irish fairly, I think I can let that pass."That movie was so amazing! You saw how Lucy punched the killer straight to his face? Dang, so powerful," Irish was bubbling about the movie the whole time we were on the table. I answer her to make some conversation. Peter also joins the talk sometimes. Meanwhile, Carter was just sitting calmly and silently beside me, holding a glass of drink as his prop.Although I was trying to respond and equal Irish's enthusiasm about the movie we had watched, my mind was slowly drifting away from the topic. And it didn't help that t
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 58: Freesias
"You have known him for that long as well, but there must be things you don't know about him yet," Carter said with a lower voice as if he intentionally lowered it to hide something he did not want me to sense."I don't understand. You sound like you know something about him that I don't."He sighed. "I do know something about that boy that you don't. But his story is not mine to tell. Even if I don't see him as something vital in this world, I think he still has the right to say it to you himself. Well, that is if he ever has a plan to tell you."What Carter said was a big puzzle to me. But this time, I know that even if I insist that he should tell me, I know that he won't. And I think he also has a point. If it something confidential, then it is not his story to tell anymore. The thing here is, I'm not sure what he is referring to. Is it some sort of a secret that Jaxon has yet to tell me? Or not should be told but I shou
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 59: Visiting His Home
I looked at myself in the mirror. I just stopped walking back and forth like some psycho who can't behave her ass. I also kept on checking my clothes, my hair, my face, and everything that could be noticed about me. Well, who can blame me? It's weekend today. The day I promised Carter that I would meet his parents in their home.The past few days, I have been really preparing myself for this even Carter told me many times that I have nothing to worry about. But isn't it normal for the girlfriend to be nervous when meeting her boyfriend's family for the first time?I looked at my outfit again. I was really torn earlier if I should wear something so feminine like a dress, skirt or if I should just be casual and have my usual attire when I am walking around Lynnwood – skinny jeans, fitted blouse, cardigan and sneakers. Though at the end, I decided to choose the latter since I am more comfortable with it.My hair was on lo
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 60: Rellis Abilities
"Hi, Eve. I'm Roselle. Welcome to our home," Roselle said in her sweet, feminine voice that could surely sooth anyone's heartaches."Hello," I replied, a bit fluttered."Here is Franklin, my husband," she added."It is nice to meet you, Eve," Franklin said in a deep baritone. He is very manly and I'm sure even with all his children, women would still go beyond hell just to have him. But I don't think he would even glance at other women with him having a wife as beautiful as Roselle."So it's really true that Mayor Walter's daughter is really beautiful," Roselle praised. I could feel the heat on my cheeks."Ah," I smiled shyly because I didn't know what to say.I just glanced around to ease the tension I am feeling. Like Carter had said, everyone is present. Sitting on the sofa were Thomas and Crislord, both observing the happenings. Travis is standing near the staircase, playing with somethin
Deceiving the Mafia Lord 61: Don't Worry
He stepped on the gas and the speed went like crazy. His speed didn't scare me anymore. It feels like I'm already used to it. What makes me worry is the fact that a vampire is after my head and is willing to do anything to kill me. It sounds like a scene in some suspense movie, but I can't feel any kind of thrill at this point. I am afraid that the hunter would end up killing somebody else since he could not touch me because I am under a powerful vampire family's protection.I got my phone in my jeans and searched for Mom's number in my contacts. She won't be home soon, so we cannot talk in person. So I am left with no choice but to talk with her on the phone to say my alibi. In that way, she will not worry over me if I won't be home for the next few days."Hello, Eve. What's with the call?" Mom asked on the other line."Mom," I paused and organized my thoughts. I couldn't think of any alibi that I could use that would be be
