I walked up the gloomy dark stairs of the abandoned hotel with only Danny to protect me ya... not so bad. The third floor's stairs were a lot more longer than the second or first. I pretend to be a bit frighten which got Danny to lace his fingers with mine. His hand was nice and warm and I loved how perfect our hands fit together. I kept walking with Danny when I felt his thumb running circles over my hand making me melt.
I focused on going up the stairs and I tried very hard not to melt or even kiss him without permission first. "What you thinking?" He suddenly asked looking over at me. "You've been silent for awhile." i just shrugged.
"Nothing much." I said flatly that even I didn't believe me. He looked over at me.
"Mmmhmm." He hummed out as if he didn't believe me either. "Come on. What's bothering you?" He asked looking at me trying to read me. "Is... it because I wear my glasses all the time?" He asked thinking of how Ty kept asking him about his glasses. I could tell he got it a lot, but it didn't even bother me.
"That's not I was thinking." Shit.
"So then you are thinking something." He stated. "So what is bothering you then?" He asked curious. I stopped and he did too. "What?" He asked worried about who knows what.
"I'm not thinking of anything Danny." I said quietly. "So... tell me then... why you so defensive of your sunglasses?" I asked speaking louder now. I saw him almost flinch at my words. He wanted to bolt and run and never look back, I could tell, but he just stood there looking at the ground. Curiosity getting better of me... I stepped forward causing him to look up at me. I put my hands up and move my fingers to each side of his head. Putting my forefinger and thumb onto the ears of the glasses and started pulling them off.
"Hailey." He warned, but to no avail. I slipped them off and he didn't stop me. Maybe he was too tired to stop someone from doing this by now. I slipped them off and what I saw almost made me drop his glasses... almost. His eyes were white.
When I say white I mean white. His glasses were as white as fog and looking into them reminded me of looking into fog. I couldn't see anything. No emotion, no happiness, no... soul. I knew I stop breathing and he knew too.
And yes vampires breath. We are human too. Our hearts beat quieter then mice and slower than turtles, but we do have heart beats. Then with breathing we do it once in awhile, but I like breathing all the time... makes me more normal. Vampires only have to breath once a day.... fun.
"I tried to tell you that you wouldn't want to take my glasses off." Danny said quietly trying not to scare me more than I am. He took my trembling hands and tarted to rub his hands over mine. "Relax alright." He said soothingly and I couldn't look away from his eyes. He took the glasses from me and put them on in his face blocking my view of his haunting white eyes. "I'm blind." He said quietly. "Meaning I can't see, that's why I have white eyes.... at least i think i have white eyes." He said trying to joke.
"Why didn't... you tell anyone?" I asked.
"Oh ya... ya I'm Danny I'm blind and have white eyes." He said sarcastically and that's when I realized that I was a bit harsh.
"Sorry." I said quietly. "That was rude of me." He sighed and it filled the empty stairwell.
"Hailey if I could count how many times someone says something about my eyes or my blindness I would loose count at 100." He said rubbing my hands more. "I was born blind... I deal with it Hailey." He said nicely. "I deal Hailey so relax." He said pushing the hair from my face. "Sometimes I wish I could see." He said softly. "But I never have before... so maybe I just want to know what everyone says about pure beauty... I never see it." He said twirling his finger around my hair. "I...." he was about to say something, but thought better of it. He looked back at me. "I sometimes wonder whether or not someone could be beautiful like everyone says." he says looking at me his fingers moving down my face. I closed my eyes taking in the feeling of it. "I can feel it, smell it, hear it, but i can't see it." he said gloomly.
I opened my eyes looking at him. "Close your eyes." I said causing him to look at me confused. "Just do it." he sighed and I think he closed his eyes. "Did you close them?" I asked and he nod. I put my hands on the side of his face making him totally surprised. "Just because you can't see doesn't mean you don't know what beauty is." I said in a whisper and leaned in. His lips were soft and sweet. He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me closer. His lips moving against mine. He allowed me into his mouth and his mouth tasted like maple syrup, caramel, and chocolate. It was amazing tasting and feeling. I laced my fingers into his red hair and I felt him pull me closer to him enjoying this, but shapeshifters still need to breath, even more so than us. I pulled back and allowed him to catch his breath. i smiled softly my lips still a bit wet, but I didn't mind. He looked up at me as if he was going to just die. I couldn't help, but smile more.
"That was...." He trailed off trying to find the perfect word. "That was the best feeling I have had in a long time." I said softly and I pushed the hair from his face.
"Good." I whispered softly and leaned in and kissed him once more. He stole my sadness and my soul while I stole his breath and heart. This was the moment when my life started to become something and when it all fell to pieces.
