87Prologue
"I love you Everlyn."
I burst into giggles.
His expression turned exasperate.
I only laughed more.
"Why do you laugh so much?" He asked with his exasperation.
"I don't know." I replied innocently.
He ran his hands through his auburn hair.
I laughed.
He raised an eyebrow at me.
I sniggered.
"Do you laugh at everything?" He asked with curiosity as his gaze bored into mine. I felt myself lost in his royal blue eyes.
"I guess so. I really can't help it." I replied shrugging.
He didn't say anything for a moment.
"You know why you're so cool to hang out with?" He asked, changing the subject.
"Why?" I asked childishly gazing up at him.
"'Cause when people are with you, you're smile and laugh can melt away all their troubles."
"You never smile Ev." Warren accused me.
I didn't reply.
He continued to fire on.
"You never laugh or smile! It's not f-ing normal! You know people say you're not human."
I shrugged. "Maybe I'm not."
"It's like you don't give a damn 'bout what happens between us!" He scolded raising his voice to optimum level. Now everyone in the small Italian restaurant was starring at us.
"Warren, don't assume anything." I said calmly, no change of expression. I knew what was coming. It always ended like this, I was use to it. I knew, yet I didn't care.
His expression turned fierce.
"I'm not assuming goddammit! I know you don't give a shit!" He boomed at me.
I remained silent, after all, I had the right, right?
"See? Proven right there! You don't give a damn!" Warren continued to shout.
"And all this is because I don't laugh or smile?" I asked, clarifying.
"F- no! You're a vampire! No, even vampire's smile and laugh. You're an alien, a witch, anything but human!" He cried.
I remained expressionless and took a sip of my luke warm soup.
"Hell we're over! We're over!" He kicked his chair over before turning to leave.
"Hey Warren! You forgot something. And….I'm sorry." I called.
He came back and stood beside me, waiting.
"You forgot this." I told him. I splashed the ice-cold water on him.
Before he could even react, I continued on. "And I'm sorry I didn't do it earlier."
I had said it all in a calm voice, expression unchanged. He, on the other hand stood there with steam rising from his head.
"By the way, you can leave now." I waved good-bye coolly.
He turned and stormed off after shouting the f word at me.
I ignored him and took another bite of my meal sighing. Another day of my typical life, I knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time.
