I tried to ask mom about what I had been told, but she refused to talk about it. "Leave the past be" that alone told me there was more to the story than they let on.
As I arrived at the lake, I was surprised to see she was already waiting for me. "You came!" I said. "You sound surprised" she answered with a chuckle. "I suppose I am" I said awkwardly. We sat under the trees and talked the whole afternoon. She told me of all she had seen in her travels to the mortal world, her life, her culture. The more we talked the more I wanted. I felt like I could never get enough of her voice. Before I knew it, I leaned over and gave her a kiss. " What was that for?" She asked shocked. " I'm sorry, should I not have? " " Sebastian, you know we can't do this." She said getting up. "Why not? Give me one good reason." "Our people are mortal enemies, is that good enough?" She said exasperated. "No, not for me. Yes we're different, maybe it won't work, but you are the most exciting and beautiful person I've ever met, please give this a chance." She stood there not saying anything for a long time, before sighing and saying "Okay, we'll give this a shot.
Summer. So far it had been the best summer of my life. I spent every day with Meghan, we kissed every chance we got. A few times we almost got caught when she surprised me at my house. All the sneaking around just added to the excitement. She also showed me the secret passage that her and her family used to get to the mortal world. I was in awe of that world from the moment I saw it, though my vision may have been clouded by fae sight. I had to stay small when we went out, since I couldn't allow myself to be seen. It was beautiful, so many sights, so many people, I'd never dreamed that the mortal world was this big.
As summer came to an end, I knew I wanted more with Meghan. Rochelle was due to come home soon, and since I couldn't talk to my parents about that, I decided I'd talk to her, but as my luck would have it, she was offered a permanent position with the dance company and wouldn't be home anytime soon. "I hate being fae" "you don't mean that, Sebastian" Meghan said trying to calm me down. "Yes I do. If I was human I could live in their world, if I was vampire like you we wouldn't have to hide, but I'm not. I'm not anything more than a stupid fae! I hate it here!" I said a bit loudly. Meghan just sat there on my couch and let me rant. "Are you done? You are what you are, to me you are perfect in every way. Do I wish we didn't have to hide? Of course, but hopefully in time our people we come around and we won't have to, but don't ever wish you were anything other than what you are." With a sigh and a smile, I leaned in and kissed her. "Come on" I said pulling her up by the hand and leading her upstairs. Once we were in my room, I leaned in and kissed her, things got going and one thing lead to another.
"I love you, Sebastian" Meghan said as we lay together. "I love you too" I said pulling her closer and kissing her once more. "I better go, before we get caught" Meghan said as she got up. "Yeah" I said in agreement as I pulled my clothes on. We made sure the coast was clear before leaving the house, and once we were far enough away we kissed goodbye, and headed back to our respective homes. By the time I got back mom and dad were home. "Hey" I called. " Did you have a nice evening?" Mom asked. "Yea, not too bad" I said as I went inside and back up to my room. As I fell asleep, I knew I had the biggest smile on my face.
