Chapter 22
That night, right before I was about to leave to go to Nick’s place, AJ knocked on the door. I opened it and found him standing there looking wounded. I immediately felt guilt tugging at my heartstrings. I hated that I was the reason he looked so hurt. We stood there, looking at each other for what seemed like an eternity before AJ finally said something. I had diverted my eyes from his, unable to stand the scrutiny I felt I was under. I knew he was hurt, and I knew I was the cause of his hurt, but I couldn’t stand the way he could look at me and make me feel a hundred times worse. But when he spoke, I looked up again, and saw that his eyes were glazed with tears. I felt my own tears fighting to be released from my guilty eyes.
“ Can we talk?” He asked, his voice demanding.
“ Sure…” I said looking at my feet. I let him inside and we walked to Kevin’s bedroom, for some privacy. I sat down on the bed and thought about what I should say to him. I wanted to apologize for being in love with Nick, but I really didn’t think my feelings were wrong. They couldn’t be when they felt so right. My train of thought was interrupted when AJ, who was pacing the floor, started talking again.
“ Listen…Angel,” He started. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, “ I don’t know how or why you fell in love with that…guy, but…” I looked at him and he had stopped pacing, I was about to say something when he raised a hand to stop me. “But I accept it…as much as it hurts me to say this, I accept it…That’s all I can do.” He finally stopped and looked at me to see my reaction. I fidgeted with the hem of my shirt for a while before I gathered enough courage to actually respond to what he had just revealed to me.
“ AJ…I’m so sorry!” I said standing up. “ I never meant for any of this to happen, it just did.” I took his hand as I continued, “ All I know is, that Nick is in love with me too, and as wrong or doomed it might seem, I really want to try to make it work.” He nodded. “ I just…I’ve never felt anything like this before…ever, and I can’t ignore my feelings because he’s a vampire and I’m a slayer.” I looked at him and I knew that I wasn’t exactly easing his pain, but I had to make him understand why I was doing what I was doing. “ When I’m with Nick it just feels so right, it feels…like it’s meant to be, and I know it doesn’t make any sense to you, but it does to me.” He was crying now, and so was I. I pulled him in for a hug and whispered, “ God AJ…I didn’t know your feelings for me were that strong…I’m so sorry!” He nodded against my shoulder and whispered,
“ I know…Just know that no matter what happens, I’ll always be here for you okay?” I smiled and placed a soft kiss on his lips before pulling out of the hug.
“ I need to get going…I have to talk to Nick about Joseph.” I tell him, wiping my eyes.
“ Okay…Just…Be careful!” He said seriously.
“ I promise!” I said giving him a quick peck on the cheek, “ I’ll see you tomorrow.” I said before walking out the door to tell the others bye.
When I arrived at the mansion I just walked in. I knew Nick was expecting me, but I could help but notice all the stares from the other vampires when I walked through the house looking for him. Having searched the 1st floor, I started walking up the stairs, thinking that he might be in the room we were in the night before. On the stairs I met Brian. He smiled when he saw me and gave me a hug, making me relax a bit. I couldn’t help but think that something had happened when I walked through the house. The hug made me feel a little bit more welcome, and it assured me that everything was all right, for now.
“ Hey Brian!” I said, greeting him, “ Is Nick upstairs?” I asked.
“ Hi Angel…Yeah, he’s waiting for you in the office.” He answered.
“ Okay!” I walked the rest of the way up to the second floor and walked down the hall. Brian was right behind me, “ So how is he doing?” I asked suddenly remembering how hurt he had been the night before.
“ He’s fine, just a few bruises left, nothing bad.” Brian said.
“ Good…I’m glad!” I said as I knocked in the door to his office.
“ Come in!” Nick’s muffled voice said.
“ I talk to you later Brian!” I said, “ I just wanna talk to him alone for a while, is that okay?”
“ Of course!” Brian said, “ I’ll be in the kitchen if you need me!”
“ Thanks!” I said smiling. Brian turned around and walked back toward the stairs. I opened the door and found Nick sitting behind the desk, looking at some papers. When he saw me he quickly got up and went to meet me in the middle of the room. He put his arms around me and our lips met in a soft kiss before I said something. I leaned into the kiss, enjoying the feeling of being in his arms. I hadn’t realized it before, but know I knew how much I had missed that feeling. The feeling of just being close, being loved, being with someone who felt the same way I did. When he pulled away I laughed softly and said,
“ Well hello to you too!” He smiled shyly,
“ I can’t help it! I just never realized how much I’ve missed the feeling of being with someone like this…” I looked into his eyes,
“ I know…” I said softly, but before we got sidetracked I needed to talk to him about Joseph, “ Listen, Nick, we need to talk.” He looked at me, surprised at first, but the he features changed to serious,
“ I know…about Joseph.” He said.
“ Yeah…who is he Nick? I mean, why are you scared of him?” He pulled me over to sit on a couch standing against the wall opposite the desk. He kept holding my hand as he sat down next to me and looked into my eyes. He took a deep breath,
“ He’s my maker.” He said. I looked at him, not really knowing if I had heard him right. Joseph was his maker? How could that be? He’s dead! His maker is dead! I didn’t exactly know how to respond to that, so all I could say was,
“ What?”
“ He’s my maker.” He repeated. I looked at him, still not believing what I was hearing.
“ No! He can’t be! Your maker is dead Nick!” I said getting up and pacing the floor.
“ I thought so too, but obviously he’s very much alive…or undead!” Nick said trying to remain calm.
“ But how?” I asked, “ I mean…how?”
“ My guess is he survived walking into the sun!” Nick said, stating the obvious.
“ I guess so!” I said, “but how could he survive that?”
“ He’s a powerful vampire Angel, he over a thousand years old!” Nick told me. I sat down on the couch again,
“But…Why would he want to hurt you?” I asked, “ I mean…you’re…family or something.”
“ Yeah, I know!” Nick said, “ That’s what’s got me stumped too! I have no idea why he’s after me. All I know is that if I’m gonna have to fight him, I can’t do it alone…He’s too strong, he has powers over me.”
“ Oh god!” I said bowing my head. Never had I felt so helpless as I did right at that moment. Nick couldn’t fight Joseph, and I couldn’t do it on my own either. He was obviously stronger than I had first thought. How were we going to do this? How could we possibly pose a threat to an ancient vampire, a vampire with powers over Nick, no less. This was going to be very difficult, probably the most difficult thing we would ever do. Nick pulled me into a hug. He softly ran his hands over my hair and whispered,
“ We can do it Angel…somehow…someway…we can do it!” I nodded and held him tighter against me.
“ You know?” he said, “ If I actually needed to breathe, I’d be dead by now!” I laughed and loosened my grip on him. Suddenly we both went quiet again, and I found myself staring into his eyes. He had beautiful eyes. I hadn’t noticed that before. They were so blue, so much like the ocean. I wanted to drown in those eyes.
“ How did this happen?” I asked softly, unable to stop staring. He looked at me, not knowing what I was talking about. I decided to elaborate,
“ How did we fall in love?” He smiled and cupped my face with one hand before answering me.
“ I don’t know,” he said softly, “but I’m glad it did.” I smiled and ever so slowly he leaned in and planted a soft kiss on my awaiting lips. I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of his soft lips against mine. When he pulled back I opened my eyes and found him staring at me like I was the most beautiful creature to have ever walked the earth. That alone made me want to feel him even more. Never had anyone made me feel like that. Never had I felt so desired, so wanted. Never had anyone showed me that kind of attention. At least, never with so much genuine feeling. I brought my hands up and pulled him back for another kiss. Slowly our lips touched and I felt my heart start to beat faster. He wrapped his arms around me and deepened the kiss, slowly letting his tongue trace my lips, making me moan. As I opened my mouth his tongue entered and it was soon captured in an erotic battle with mine. He pushed me down on the couch and his hands started roaming my body. Pretty soon they made their way to my breast and he let his fingers play over them. I sighed against his lips and arched against him, needing to fell as much of him as I could. He took the hint and started unbuttoning my shirt, letting his tongue travel down my neck to my collarbone, and further down toward my breasts as more and more skin was revealed. He pushed my bra down and let his tongue tease my right nipple into a peak. I grabbed his head and held him there. I couldn’t get enough of the feeling of his tongue on my sensitive skin. All of a sudden the door was opened. Quickly Nick raised himself off of me and grabbed the first thing he could find, to cover me up. I grabbed the pillow and held it against my naked upper body as we stared at the person standing in the door, shock written all over our faces.
“ Brian! What’s wrong?” Nick finally asked.
