Vampire Wedding Ch 7A - Something to think about

For the next two weeks Meghan continued her routine. She continued to work hard with all of her training and started to develop muscles in places she didn’t even know she had. She developed friendships with the people of the house hold and the servants. She especially developed a relationship with Alana. They were just like sisters. Meghan would miss her when she left.

As she walked out of the dining room she saw her enemy, Veronica, standing in front of Ryan twirling her hair and giggling. Meghan felt something rush through her through her veins that made her want to slap the mess out of Veronica.

It’s not jealousy, she told herself. I’m just trying to show her she can’t mess with me.

Meghan fixed her hair and walked seductively towards Ryan. Without a glance to Veronica, Meghan stepped in front of Ryan and put her arms around his neck.

"How was your day, baby?" she asked. She could feel Veronica’s angry glare on her back and she mentally smiled in triumph.

Ha-ha skank. I’m winning. As soon as she thought that Ryan stiffened.

Uh-oh, she thought as Ryan removed her arms from his neck.
She thought he was going to push her away but instead he kept a firm grip on her arms and dragged her with him down the hallway. The last thing she saw before exiting the dining room was Veronica’s smirk.

When she realized they were going to his room she wondered what he was up to.

As soon as they stepped into the room Ryan slammed the door and propelled her away from him.

"What the hell is going on, Meghan?" he asked angrily. His body was tense and still; his voice cold and clipped with angry.
Meghan tried feigning ignorance. "What do you mean?"

"Don’t give me that crap. Every time we’re around Veronica or some other female you want to get all touchy feely, but when I try to kiss you in the morning or when we’re alone you run away from me as if I have the plague or something."

"I-" he cut her off.

"I haven’ been able to see into your mind since we got here, but today I heard you loud and clear. What are you winning at, Meghan?!" He shouted.

She could see the veins in his arms start to pop out like they did that first day and she started to become frightened.

"Nothing." She lied. He could tell that she had lied.

"You’re lying to me." His voice dropped dangerously calm and his eyes started to take on that cold murderous look from the last time. It caused her to spill everything.

"Well me and Veronica don’t get along."

"And?" he asked impatiently.

As quickly as she could Meghan explained everything to him and the more she talked the angrier he seemed to get.

"So this is just a game to you?" he asked furiously.

"No. It’s just that-"

"Obviously it is. I tried giving you the space and I tried to figure out why you were acting this way. All this time you were giving me a hard time and it was because of some stupid tramp. Do I mean so little to you that you would let your jealousy ruin everything we can build for our future?"

"I’m not jealous!" she tried arguing.

"Bull shit!" he fired back.

"I-" he cut Meghan off once more.

"That’s it, Meghan. I’ve decided that we are to be mated and wedded Saturday."

"That’s the day after tomorrow." She protested.

"That’s right so you better be prepared."
His words angered her even more.

"Who do you think you are? You can’t control me. YOU don’t decide anything for Me!"

"As your husband I will control each and everything you do." He shot back in anger.

"Oh that’s rich. You ruined everything! I got news for you, I would rather cut out my tongue than marry you." She snapped.

Her words were like a slap and before he knew it he had her up against the wall with his vampire face mere inches from hers. He hissed and saw her flinch.

Meghan’s eyes widened in fear and she felt tears forming in the back of her eyes.

Her brown eyes looked into his cold blue ones and saw them soften. He started to change back into the old Ryan and his teeth retracted. Ryan let go of her arms and stepped back letting her slide to the floor.

Meghan’s body started to shake so bad that her legs wouldn’t support her when her feet touched the ground. Her body slumped to the floor then began to tremble. Over and over the past fifteen minutes played in her head.

"God, Meghan. I’m… I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean… I mean I just…." Ryan didn’t even finish his sentence instead he bent down and picked Meghan up.

When he set her on the bed he turned to walk away thinking she would like to be by herself.

"Ryan…" he turned slowly back around and saw Meghan sitting up. Much to his surprise she scooted over and patted the bed.

Cautiously Ryan took off his shoes while she did the same. While she lied down he sat down next to her. After a long moment of them just doing that he jumped when he felt her hand touch his shoulder.

He looked into her brown eyes for a few seconds before she burst into tears. Quickly he wrapped his arms around her and held while she cried.

"Why couldn’t you have let me stay with my parents?" she sobbed against him.

"Meghan," he sighed. " I know that all this kind of ruined things for you but you’re going to have to get over it."

She raised her head in surprise. She really didn’t expect him to say anything like that.

"What?" she asked in surprise.

"Look, I know everything is all crazy right now but this is how it is and there’s nothing you can do about it but except it." His tone was soft and he rubbed her back while she listened.

"This was meant to happen and I’m going to make sure everything happens as it should I’ve done nothing but tried to help you and care for you and you’ve done nothing but try to make me out as if I’m trying to intentionally make everything bad for you.

I know this isn’t fair but, honey, life isn’t fair and all you can do is play the hand you are dealt. Do you get what I’m trying to say?"

Meghan didn’t want to agree with what he said but in the end it made sense. She looked back at her behavior and cringed. He had been nothing but good to her and she used him in the worst way.

"Yes," she finally answered. "I agree with what you are saying."

"Good." Ryan kissed the top of her head. "From now on, though, if anything like this happens again Meghan, you will not be let off easily.

Meghan looked up at him and just sighed. They were going to butt heads the whole
