WIDBODE: LIFE THROUGH A VAMPIRE’S EYES



CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX:
Young, Handsome and Wholesome


Arabella cupped her hands over her mouth and called, “Sage! Get over here.”
Just as Teyla was going to ask who Sage was, a man stepped out from the shadows and into the light of the many lanterns on the ground. First thing she thought was that he had beautiful dark skin. Second thing was wow! She could feel the sparks flying already.

“I’d like you to meet our vampire hunter. Teyla, this is Sage. Sage, Teyla.” She held out her hand in Sage’s direction.

Teyla gave her old nanny a you-didn’t-tell-me-he-was-good-looking look before getting up from the bench and shaking his big, manly hand. He was almost as much of a man as Armin was.



“Hey.” He said in a voice that was nothing like Armin’s laid back, I’m-so-bad-ass tone. It was deep and polite.

She found herself floating on cloud nine.

“Uh… hey.” She said, blushing slightly.

That was the thing about being a vampire. Teyla was so pale that the redness was even more visible than usual. Oh great! You meet a nice looking guy and you blow it all by looking like a red tomato! Real smooth, Teyla.

Whether Sage seemed to think this was cute or embarrassing, she couldn’t tell. Either way, he began blushing too and showed his dazzling white teeth in a handsome smile that made her legs turn to jelly. He reached up and ran his fingers through his short, blonde hair, avoiding her eyes.

Arabella chose this moment to butt in, “Sage, a vampire just entered the lot that you might want to deal with.”

Sage squinted towards the iron gates and pulled a stake out of his coat pocket. Teyla winced at the site of the pointed thing.

“Oh no, not him again.” Sage muttered before sprinting towards the unwelcome visitor.



“Notice the way he runs…” Bella said, nudging Teyla’s side and winking.

Teyla smiled and nodded. “Yeah, he’s quite nice to look at from allangl – hey! You’re a married woman! You shouldn’t be checking men out from behind.”

“Oh please. I’m just drawing your attention to it. You two would be so cute together. Besides, a woman has needs…”

Teyla nudged Arabella’s shoulder in mock surprise before being overcome by a fit of giggles. Arabella managed to chuckle a bit herself.

An angry shout came from where the two men where arguing and Teyla saw with a jolt who Sage was arguing with. She recognised that sim all too well…

The rotten bastard had followed her!

Do my eyes deceive me or is that FLIRTING I see?
