When I woke the next morning it was to Gabe pounding on my door to get up and get ready. I get up and jump in the shower going through my normal routine. Once my hair is straight I head into my bedroom and straight to my closet. I’m slightly upset that I have to go back to wearing dresses. I really wouldn’t mind the dresses if Sarah would have let me pick my own. I grab a light blue dress and my white flats and cardigan.
Once I’m ready I head down to the kitchen to grab some cereal then join Gabe at the table.
“What time are they due back”, I ask him.
He looked at the clock, “They should be here in about hour”.
I quickly eat and clean up any dishes in the kitchen. Once I finished I went to sit in the front room to wait. I know they’re always early and not long after sitting I hear a car in the driveway. I meet Gabe at the door and we go out to meet them.
Sarah is the first one out of the car, “Are you feeling better”?
“Yeah, I’m feeling much better”.
“I was so worried when Gabe called and you weren’t here. Why would you disappear like that”?
“I just went out to dinner with a friend”, I tell her resisting the urge to roll my eyes.
She got very excited then. “You went on a date”, she almost squealed.
“No, it was just a girl I went to school with”, I tell her.
“Oh, well hopefully soon”, she said. I narrowed my eyes as she moved over to where two guys were waiting with Steve. “These two will be staying here with us. God has chosen them to be Soldiers of the Sun”.
The first one was handsome to most girl standards with blond hair and blue eyes. He stepped forward holding out his hand, “Jason Stackhouse”.
“Jasmine Newlin”, I introduced myself and shook his hand.
The other was quite tall with really dark hair and dark brown eyes. He followed Jason’s move by holding out his hand, “Luke McDonald”.
When I placed my hand in his to shake; he instead brought my hand up brushing a light kiss across my knuckles. When he let my hand go I brought both my hands behind my back discreetly wiping my hand on the back of dress.
“Jasmine why don’t you show Luke to his room since he’ll be in the spare room beside your own”, Sarah said with a huge smile on her face.
I fake a smile, “Of course Sarah”. I turn to Luke and motion for him to follow me.
He follows me quietly up the stairs with his suitcase. I go to the door past mine and step into the room. “This one will be yours and the bathroom is on the other side”. I turn to leave but pause when he starts talking.
“Thank you this is a wonderful room and a great house”, he says.
“Do you know why they have the two of you staying here with us? I mean usually the Soldiers of the Sun stay out in the bunker”.
“They said it was because Jason and I did the best at camp and we deserved a reward”, he tells me.
“Well, I’ll leave you to unpack”, I tell him before heading downstairs to find Sarah in the kitchen. “Why are they staying in the house”?
“They earned it after working so hard at camp”, she says while putting something in the oven. “I was hoping you might be up to showing Luke around Dallas after lunch since he’s never been here before. I thought you two might get along well”.
I just nod and head out back I knew it wasn’t really a question. I don’t understand why they can’t let me find someone for myself. I know they want him to have their beliefs but it should be my choice. I laugh just imagining their faces if I told them I was attracted to a 2000 year old vampire.
I enjoy sitting in the cool shade until Sarah calls for lunch. When I get to the dining area I find that Luke is in the chair beside my own. Before I make it to the table Luke stood up and pulled my chair out for me. If Sarah wouldn’t have been staring I would have rolled my eyes as I sat down. “Thank you”, I tell him.
“You’re welcome”, he replied.
Conversation during lunch is basically about the church and what Luke and Jason could expect during their work with the Soldiers of the Sun.
“So Jasmine I thought you had something to ask Luke”, Sarah suddenly said.
I grit my teeth for just a second before turning to him, “I was gonna get out and go into town and I was wondering if you would join me”?
“Of course, I would love to”, he said smiling.
I turn back to the table to find Steve and Sarah smiling. Lunch is over far too quickly and Sarah actually cleans up basically pushing me and Luke out the door.
It’s a pretty quiet ride into town and I decide to play nice incase Sarah asks.
“Sarah mentioned you’ve never been to Dallas before; is there anything you would like to see specifically”, I ask him.
“No, wherever you were planning to go is fine”, he says.
Well, great now I have to figure out somewhere to go. We drive around for a while until we’re passing the museum and I pull in to the parking lot. “Is this fine I love just walking through and seeing all the history”?
He made a slight face telling me he really didn’t like the idea but he agreed to it anyway.
We walked quietly through the building observing the exhibits. I decided to end the silence, “So I didn’t go to the camp what was it like”?
That definitely ended the silence though now I was wondering how to get him to shut up. Looking at the time and then to the windows I was surprised it was already getting late.
“We should probably get back soon we’re usually eating dinner now”, I tell him as I head back towards the entrance.
“Maybe we could go out to eat then”, he suggests. “I saw a diner on our way here that we could stop by”.
“Alright I’ll text Sarah and tell her not to expect us”, I say pulling out my phone.
It didn’t take long to get to the diner. Once we were inside and had placed our orders I was really wishing I had suggested we just went home. He spent almost two hours talking about himself. I was so happy to pull into the driveway at home. When we got inside I went up to my room but before I could enter he stopped me.
“Thanks for today I had a great time”, he told me.
“No problem”, I tell him and notice he’s leaning toward me. “What are you doing”?!
“Most people kiss after a good date”.
“Well this wasn’t really a date and I don’t kiss on the first date anyway”, I open my door and go in before he says anything else.
I just lean against door until I hear his door open and close before I exhale sharply. “I really hate Sarah and Steve sometimes”, I say out loud while I grab some clothes to change when there’s a knock at my door.
Sarah comes in before I can even say anything.
“How did it go? You must have had fun if you stayed out for dinner”, she pulls me so we’re sitting on the bed.
“We just went to the museum and then when I noticed it was time to eat he suggested grabbing something to out”.
“But you like him right”, she continues before I can say anything, “I knew you would I can’t wait to tell Steve I was right”.
She’s out of my room before I can even speak and I just let myself lay back on the bed. Great now she’s gonna be even worse. I get up needing to get out I rush to my closet and grab a drink for Godric before going to listen at my door.
I jump when there’s tapping at my window. I rush over with a smile on my face knowing it can only be Godric. I quickly open the window and move back so he can come in.
“I was just about to come see you”, I tell him while he looks around my room.
“I know I saw you grab the Tru Blood”, he tells me but it just sounds off.
“Are you alright”, I ask moving to sit on the edge of my bed.
“I’m fine”, he says still avoiding looking at me.
I can tell he’s lying even without my feelings screaming at me. Suddenly my eyes widen, “How long were you outside my window”?
“It doesn’t matter I shouldn’t have come”, with that he moves to the window.
I jump up, “Don’t leave”, he stops in front of the window, “please”.
I watch as his shoulders slump slightly and he moves back into the room. I sit in the middle of the floor and open the Tru Blood and set it across from me. “Questions”?
His lips twitch as he sits in front of me. The questions are generic about things in my room especially my pictures to start. I was surprised at the turn his questions took.
“You were on a date tonight”, he asks.
“No it definitely was not a date”.
“I saw you get back with that boy” he said a little angry, “and then I heard Sarah get so excited because you liked him”, he looked away.
“They brought two people to stay in the house for “extra training” and then Sarah told me I should take Luke with me to town. I didn’t really have an option if I hadn’t of invited him she would have invited him for me”, I told him honestly.
“But you like him”, he stated softly before downing the rest of the Tru Blood and leaving before I can say anything.
I rush to the window but he’s already gone. That didn’t go at all how I had expected. Looking at the clock I change and climb into bed leaving my window open and staring at the sky through it.
“Goodnight Godric”, I whisper before falling asleep.
When I wake up the next morning I just lay in bed thinking over the conversation with Godric last night. He seemed more off than usual. He was angry when he brought up Luke last night but I just don’t get why. I get up finally and get into the shower still thinking over everything last night when it hits me.
“Was he jealous”, I ask myself. It would explain why he would have been angry over Luke. When I climb out of the shower I look over myself in the mirror. How could someone who was so extraordinary be jealous over me? I get dressed with a firm mindset to find out if I was right. Looking at my calendar I realize there is only two weeks till the lock-in and Godric was probably more determined to stay then before if I was right.
