“So… If say I confess that a long long time ago I had three kids and now they’re adult Angel/Vampire hybrids.” Heather smiled a little nervously. “I only see them here and there, but I had to be with their dad a lot as he seems to be in love with my new fledgling.” She shrugged a bit before looking up at Britt.
“I’m sorry, you what?” They had known each other long enough that Britt had great grandchildren and this had never once been brought up. Honestly, it stung a little. “You’re seriously telling me that you have kids and you’ve never bothered to mention them? I mention my older sister in passing more than that.” And, truth be told, Valencia sort of scared her.
“I don’t think changing schools would help much. I never really fit in all that well to begin with.” It was hard bonding with normal humans when she hide her favorite parts of herself. It was part of what had drawn her to Teddy in the first place. She liked that she didn’t have to pretend with him. “But I think I would start feeling caged if I was stuck at home all the time too.”
“Fitting in with assholes is overrated anyway. At least you’ve got your brother?” Chase wasn’t her sibling, but she knew having him around when she was younger had been good for her, even if he was a dick. “Yeah, I can see that. Might be a little too much family togetherness. Any other ideas? Because I’m running out of suggestions.”
“But how long before they start targeting him because his sister is dating the school freak?” It was stressing her out enough for her eyes to keep flickering from blue to chartreuse but she never noticed. “Just let me drop out and get my GED?”

His heart sunk a little when he caught the look on Jayne’s face and he moved forward, touching his cheek softly. “Hey, don’t, okay? Don’t start letting your thoughts go there,” he murmured, practically reading the other’s thoughts because he had been dealing with them himself.

Getting ready to go out driving for a bit, so I’ll be back on later if I don’t kill us.
Callista pulled up her sunglasses, eyes seeming to search there surroundings as she tilted her head, hoping for more clues about their surroundings. “My bad.” She shrugged, the casual regret her only form of apology. “Sometimes it’s still difficult to tell how many people are around. But you have caught my interest.”
“Lady, you’re practically in the middle of the street,” he countered, glaring at her. He didn’t really like the fact that he had caught anyone’s interest, not when he wasn’t technically supposed to be there. But, here he was, trailing his ex to make sure she was safe. “Find someone else’s life to risk.”

“I never ask permission to kiss you.” Rory pointed out with a raised brow. If Dev wanted to play this game Ro would be a more than willing participant. He tilted his head as he looked at the other, almost daring the man to keep playing with him. Rory loved to play.
“I could make you start.” It wasn’t an idle threat and they both knew it. When challenged, Devin had a habit of making things harder and he knew Rory was pushing on purpose.
