bathroom...surely?
    “So what would you lik e to do today?” Draven surprised me with this question and I had a feeling that the phone call with my mum had something to do with it.
    “Umm... I don't know. W hat brought this on?” I asked after swallowing a mouthful of butter pastry goodness.
    “Well I think your mother was right, I haven't gone about this the right way at all . ” He was smirking at the idea of dating a human, I could tell.
    “To be fair Draven , when have we had the time, when exactly were we supposed to go on this date? I mean, before you kidnapped me and when you acted like you hated me or after , when we f ound out Morgan was coming for me?” I couldn't help but shake my head while laughing at the idea but he didn't seem to find the funny side.
    “ Keira, I didn't kidnap you and I most certainly didn't hate you! But I guess I get your point, which makes me wonder , what you would have said if I had asked you out on a date, after our little car journey the second night you worked upstairs?” This question made me stop eating and look at him. Yep he was being serious.
    “Why... did you want too?” I swallowed hard while waiting for the answer.
    “I was thinking about it yes , but I had to fight with what was righ t and what I wanted . I am afraid my logic won over my heart that night. However I still didn't want to leave you. It was my first experience at being worried about someone I loved and unfortunately it was not to be the last time I felt this way.” I couldn't judge his facial expression this time although I am usually good at it, but this time it was like a sadness he was trying to hide. I could tell he was worried about something but I knew he would never tell me so.
    “But I am still curious as to what your answer would have been?”
    “That's a tough one, because if I were listening to my heart I would have said yes but the same as you I would have gone with my logic and said no . ” At this he looked truly stunned and no wonder, with a man like Draven , you don't say no.
    “Why would your logic tell you that ? ” I think my answer knocked his ego slightly because now he had come to sit next to me and was giving me a very intense stare.
    “Because I knew there was something different about you and you did kind of scare me but come on , do you blame me?! I mean up until that point you treated me like I was ...was ... ”
    “Yes?” He raised his eyebrows but I just looked down at my hands.
    “Well, like I was some silly little plain and pale outsider that you needed to get out of your club quicker than cockroaches!”
    “Oh Keira, you can be so blind sometimes, you really don't look at yourself the way others do. I apologise for ever making you feel this way but I needed you to stay away from me at the time. You don't know the endless nights I spent thinking. No not thinking but fantasising about touching that soft pale skin of yours . ” At this he ran the back of his fingers up my bare arm, making me close my eyes and my breathing to become heavy.
    “Those times I am not proud of but now I have you, I will do anything to keep you and that includes making you happy, so back to that. What would you like to do today my sweet ? ” He leaned his head down to catch my smile with his lips and when he had finished he licked his lips saying ,
    “Mmm , sweet indeed, j am has never tasted so good . ” Then I went the colour of the jam but this seemed to just excite him more.
    “Ok I have made my mind up, can I go home?” I said while he was kissing my neck though it made him stop and look at me.
    “You don't like being here?”
    “No , no , it's not that, I love being here with you but I guess I'm just ready for things to get back to normal . ”
    “Keira , you are dating a Demon/Angel half breed that has to control the worlds supernatural , I think you can kiss normal ity goodbye . ” He said , laughing while he pushed his hair back with a pair of large hands. This was
