Touched by Forever novel Chapter 7

“I am sorry, ok? I promise not to drink from you again unless you want me to. Ok?” Paris said, putting his hands on her shoulders.

Ann looked at one of his hands on her shoulder and brushed them off and continues to walk. “Why should I believe you? Does Vampires even have religion?”

“Hey, a vampire promise is more binding and true than humans. A human can break their promise without conscience, but not a vampire. If a vampire thinks about breaking a promise, their skin starts to boil!” Paris said, walking beside her, trying to steer her in the direction of his car.

“Oh please, I am not stupid!” Ann said, feeling the anger rising up in her because Paris took her for a stupid.

Ann does her best to ignore Paris walking beside her. She ignored him flat out. She finally reached the bus stop. She got on, leaving Paris behind.

“Getting on?” a chubby woman with sleek black hair asked Paris.

“No, not today,” Paris said, turning around to make his way to his car. He looked at Ann through the window, but she just stared Infront of her.

Ann was deep in thought. ‘How will I make sure that no vampire compels or drinks from me again?’ After a few more stops, the bus stopped at the school. Ann saw that Paris' black Subaru Forester SUV was already in the parking lot. She rolled her eyes and quickly made her way into the school building. As she walked toward her locker, she started to take off her coat. She got around the corner and found Paris waiting at the locker.

“Stalking much?” Ann asked, opening her locker to hang her coat in. She slammed the locker shut and walked away.

“Ann, please wait,” Paris walked after her but got cut off by Shysie and Wynn.

“Hello stranger, where have you been all night?” Shysie asked, locking her arm into Paris. Before he could answer, the bell rang for the first period.

Lunchtime came and Ann found herself alone in the cafeteria because Jessica had some ass-kissing to do regarding her last essay.

“Mind if we join?” Shysie asked Ann. Shysie, Wynn, and Paris sat down with Ann before she could object.

“You guys take this table, I will find another, not really in the mood for company,” Ann said sarcastically and was about to lift her food tray when Shysie stopped her.

“Sit down and eat your food!” Shysie compelled her.

William walked by and Shysie was quick to invite him to sit down for lunch.

“William, have a seat,” Shysie told him, with no need to compel him.
