“I need to speak with him Trevor, now get the hell out of my way!”
“And I told you he doesn’t want to see anyone, that includes you Asia.”
“What’s going on down here?” JC asked walking down the stairs.
Asia smirked at Trevor and pushed past him. She went over and kissed JC, wrapping her arms around his waist. “You’re friend here wouldn’t let me past.”
“Is there something you want Asia?” he said unwrapping her arms.
“I wanted to discuss the prophecy and where the Toreadors stand.”
“Fine, let’s go into my study.”
JC led Asia into his study and shut the doors. Asia immediately attacked his lips.
“Not now Asia,” he said gently pushing her back.
“Well, then when? We haven’t been together in months,” she said becoming a little angry.
“It’s not a good idea anyway, not with what is coming our way.”
“Alright, let’s talk business then.”
Asia walked over and sat in one of the leather chairs. She crossed her legs, her short skirt riding up her thighs. She smiled seductively at JC who tried not to be distracted by the revealing outfit she had on. He sat down in his chair.
“Let me start off by saying that the Toreadors are with the Ventrue.”
“Thank you, but I have a feeling that’s not what you came to tell me.”
“You know me too well.” JC smiled slightly. “I’ve heard that the Brujah are trying to persuade the Nosferatu to join them.”
JC’s attention was finally captured. “I have heard no such thing.”
“Just trust me JC and if the Nosferatu join the Brujah, they will be hard to overcome.”
JC stood up and started to pace in the room. “I’ll have to talk to Chris.”
“Why? Just because he’s the leader of the Nosferatu and your friend doesn't mean their kind can be trusted.”
“I trust him Asia, to tell me what his intentions are, no matter what they may be.”
Asia stood up and walked over to JC. “This is a hard time for us all JC but you know you will always have my support and love.” She caressed the side of his face.
“I know Asia.”
She kissed his cheek and walked out the study. JC looked out the window as her car drove off. If she was right about the Nosferatu, his situation had just taken a turn for the worse.
Justin slowly woke up from his deep sleep. He looked around him, not sure about what had happened. He noticed he was lying naked in his bed. Suddenly, it all came back to him. He remembered meeting Jana at the park, bringing her back here, and then having the most incredible sex in his 19 years of life. But after that, it was a blur. He sat up and stretched but felt a sharp pain in his neck. He reached up to touch what felt like two small holes in his neck.
“Oh my God,” he said remembering the rest of his encounter, “she bit me!”
Justin jumped out of bed, slipped on a pair of boxers and ran to the bathroom. He looked in the mirror and he was right, there were two small holes near the base of his neck.
“What the hell is going on?” he said to himself.
Justin continued staring at his neck until he heard his phone ring. He hesitated and then went to pick it up.
“Hello?”
“Hey J, too bad you ditched us today, our team won!”
“Oh hey Lance…”
“What’s up with you? I saw you leave with that fox, so how was she?”
“Well, the sex was the best I’ve ever had but…”
“But what?”
“Nothing, look I gotta go.”
“Okay, I’ll talk to ya later man.”
“Yeah, bye.”
Justin hung up the phone and sat on his bed. He wasn’t going to just let this go. He wanted to find out what the hell that girl was all about. He also wanted to find her because he found himself craving her more than before. He remembered she had told him he would and she was right. Justin went to jump in the shower and get ready to search for the mysterious Jana.
Jana walked into the door and was surprised not to hear JC yelling at her immediately. She started to sneak upstairs but stopped. JC was going through a lot lately and she hadn’t really been there for him. He was always there for her to turn to but she did little to repay him. She walked to his study and gently knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
She opened the door and slipped in. She found JC sitting on the window seat, looking out in a daze. She crossed over to him and placed her hands on his shoulders and began to massage them. He reached up and touched her hands. His touch still had an affect on her. It was a touch of love and gentleness.
“Did your little drive help?” he finally asked.
“Uh yeah, actually it did.”
He stood up and looked at her.
“Whatever I do or say, Jana, is only out of your best interest and because I care about you so.”
Jana smiled and placed her hand on his cheek. “I know JC, and I’m sorry for being a bitch sometimes and I know we haven’t been, um, as close as we were before.”
“It’s okay Jana, I understand that we all have to change sometime.”
“But I will never leave your side…that’s a promise.”
JC smiled and kissed her gently. He pulled her to him and she rested her head on his chest. He held her tight, almost protectively.
“I love you Janazelle,” he whispered.
“I love you Joshua.”
