James glanced at Rebecca, "Do the waiters come to us orrrr?"
Running Scared
she nodded " they'll be here shortly "
"Oh, okay," James replied unsure and wary of the whole experience. There weren't, diners, when he wasn't king and more free.
" my dad and I used to come here…before he died" she said
"So this place means something to you," James said calmly.
she nodded with a soft, weak smile
James was unable to smile back, but he nodded consolingly.
the waiter walked over smiling at Rebecca, he was about her age " hey Becca you look beautiful today" he said. Rebecca blushed looking up at him " Thanks Calum "
Oh great, a flirt. James thought, however it seemed Rebecca knew the man so he would let it slide.
She smiled at the man as he took her order
James didn't like or know why this strange feeling was coming over him. It wasn't good though.
The waiter looked at James asking him what he wanted
"Oh, nothing for me," James replied seeing the waited wanted him to order.
he nodded smiling at Rebecca before walking away
Jame looked over at Rebecca, "Are you two friends?"
" not exactly " she said
"Oh then what are you?" James asked feeling that feeling start to rise again.
" well like I've said I've been coming here forever and he's always worked here and over that time a developed a little crush on hin" she said
“I see,” James nodded as that feeling grew more intense. What was it? Jealousy? That would explain some things.
" but that can't happen anymore " she sighed closing her eyes
James felt odd the flash of, what pride, that stung his chest. Despite that he kept his voice even, "No, no it can't."
She closed her eyes with a sigh putting her head in the palm of her hands
James tilted his head slightly looking at Becca, "Are you okay?"
"I got turned into a vampire and I have no family "
"And?" James knew those were bad things, but she surely could have gotten over it by now.
" i have no one james at least as a human i wasn't alone " she said
"And you aren't alone now," James told her.
"You don't actually wanna be around me " she told him
"And how do you know that?"
" because you just want to marry me for power " she said
