The same day
Elijah pov
Mia had fallen asleep on my chest.
I didn't want to wake her, so I stayed, taking in every moment while I could. I stroked her cheek moving a strand of hair out of her face and kissed her forehead.
I quietly moved Mia's head onto the pillow and got out of bed. I put my clothes back on, walked over to the door, turning around taking one last look at her.
I thought to myself, 'Goodbye Mia, sleep well. I wish we could do this again.'
I couldn't afford to lose control of myself with Mia. I cared about her too much. I've never been this worried about losing control. Well not for a very long time. There was just something about her that made me extra cautious.
I closed my bedroom door behind me to give Mia some privacy. I made my way downstairs, walking into the kitchen. As I entered the kitchen, I was starving.
I opened the fridge, grabbed a blood bag then closed the door. I tore the top of the bag with my teeth with ravenous hunger and became sated by savouring every drop.
As the bag opened, the smell of blood burned through my nose and made my mouth water.
I closed my eyes, taking in the sensational taste of the blood. Within seconds, I finished wiping the corner of my mouth, making sure I didn't miss a drop of blood.

I woke up stretching my arms out and realised Elijah wasn't in bed beside me anymore. It felt empty, as the bed felt too big now that Elijah wasn't there.
I got up out of the bed and wrapped the towel that was on the floor around me. I made my way back to the room where we had the sleepover.
I closed the door behind me and walked over to my bag. I grabbed my red dress from my bag, put it on and slipped my white ballet flats on.
I finished getting dressed, packed my stuff up and made my way down the stairs to my car. I made my way down the stairs, turning the corner I bumped into Elijah.
"oh I'm sorry"
I looked up to see it was once again Elijah. I couldn't help but wonder if he had planned this.
"mia we have to stop bumping into each other like this"
I blushed as I looked at the ground. Elijah lifted my head, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Goodbye Elijah"
I kissed him on the cheek before turning around walking down the rest of the stairs.
I left frayas house and made my way to the shops to get some groceries then headed back to my house. I didn't notice I had left my phone at frayas house.

Elijah's pov
The same day
I threw the empty blood bag in the bin and went upstairs to take a shower. I walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. Stepping into the shower the hot water hit my skin. I still couldn't get Mia out of my mind.
I thought to myself, 'God having sex with Mia was incredible. I've never had sex like that before with a human. I know she said we couldn't do it again but that's all I can think about. I needed her. I want her.'
Turning off the water I stepped out of the shower placing a towel around my waist. I walked over to the sink and brushed his teeth. While I was brushing my teeth I noticed mias phone.
I didn't know if I should take her phone to her or get one of her friends to do it. This would give me an excuse to see her again. I rinsed my mouth then washed my face. I picked her phone up making my way to my bedroom.
I walked into my room throwing her phone on my bed then walked over to my wardrobe grabbing a navy blue button-up shirt and jeans. As I finished getting dressed I decided I would return her phone myself.
I picked her phone up checking the time at 9:30 am, placed it in my back pocket and made my way down the stairs. I made my way down the stairs when I heard my brother Jace call my name.
"Elijah, where are you going?" Asked Jace.
"Out, Why do you need to know where I'm going?" I replied.
"I was just wondering, you just have a determined look on your face," said Jace.
"Okay, I gotta go bye," I replied.
I walked over to the table near the front door picking up my car keys then walked out to my red mustang car parked in the driveway. I got into his car and drove off to Mia's house. I remembered her address from driving fraya there every now and then.
While I was driving I kept telling myself that I was to hand the phone over then leave. 20 mins later I arrived at Mia's house parking the car out front then made my way to the front door.
As I walked up to her front door I heard music playing. I was about to knock when I noticed the door was opened a little. I took a peek inside and saw Mia sweeping the floor while dancing and singing.
Straight away I knew the song. It was 'sitting on top of the world 'by Delta Goodrem. My sister Fraya loves listening to this song.
I didn't want to be rude so I knocked on the door then tried calling out to her.
"mia?"
Mia didn't hear me so I opened the door, I lingered there watching her dance and sing along to the music. I couldn't help but stare at her ass, as she was dancing in a short red flowy thin-strapped dress.
I walked over to her, leaving the door wide open. I extended my hand, placing it on her shoulder.
"ahh!"
Mia jumped nearly a foot off the ground, dropping the broom, placing her hand on her chest. She turned around to see me standing there.
"Elijah doesn't sneak up on me like that"
She hit my chest.
I chuckled, "I'm sorry, I knocked and called out but you didn't answer"
"oh okay"
"I must say you sure have an amazing voice and you've got some moves," I spoke in a low sexy voice.
"That's where you're wrong," Mia said.
"you are good at both of them and I'm not just saying that because I got to see you shake your ass"
Mia shook her head as she laughed.
"Why are you here Elijah?" She asked.
"oh right, you left your phone at my house"
I pulled her phone out from my back pocket and handed it over to Mia taking a step closer. Mia took her phone out of my hand making our hands touch.
"Thanks, Elijah, you know you didn't have to bring it over"
"I know but I couldn't get you out of my mind. I know you said this can't happen but I needed to see you again"
I didn't wait for Mia to respond, I cupped her cheeks pulling her into a deep passionate kiss. Mia wrapped her arms around my neck as she kissed me back. It didn't take long till our tongues found each other.
Without breaking the kiss, I lifted Mia, she wrapped her legs around me as I walked over to the counter placing her down. I placed her on the counter and she couldn't help but tug at my clothes. Without breaking the kiss, she started frantically undoing the top buttons on my shirt exposing my chest.
"Didn't you get enough of me before?" I asked.
A huge grin formed on her face. She rubbed the exposed skin on my chest.
The feeling of her hand on my chest burnt through my skin making me want to rip her clothes off right here and right now.
"Fine, it will be our little secret. This will be the very last time," Mia said as she ran one finger over my lips.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yess..."
I smiled once more. Gazing deep into Mia's eyes… looking deep into her soul. Searching…..for something.
Every time I look into Mia's eyes I see her pain. I can tell she has been hurt before. She never speaks about her past or her past boyfriends, well not that I know of.
Just the way she spoke of her ex-boyfriend, her tone changed. I never want to hurt her or let anyone else hurt her. If they do….they will have to go through ME!
I leaned in kissing her neck, I placed one hand on her leg and the other on her cheek.
"Uhh, that feels so good," she said, tilting her head to the side.
Mia doesn't give up, she starts tugging at my pants. We both wanted to do it again but she said we couldn't do this. But here she is… I won't say no. I lifted my head, rubbing the end of our noses together and smiled. Soon enough our lips found each other once again. As we were kissing I rubbed her thigh. Moving my hand up under her dress.
While we were kissing Mia and I were enjoying the moment. We didn't hear her friend Claire walk in. Well, I heard someone walk in but I didn't want this moment to end. She stood there watching us. Secretly Claire was beyond happy that this was happening.
"What's going on here?" Asked Claire.
We both quickly brushed ourselves off and took a step back from each other.
"Claire! Oh I ahh..., I left my phone at his house and he brought it over to me"
"oh right, sure" Claire responded, raising one of his eyebrows.
"Why are you here?" Mia asked.
"I wanted to talk to you but I can see you're busy, " Claire explained.
"I should go," I said.
Claire looked at me, 'oh no you don't have to leave"
"I know when I should leave, bye mia"

Mia pov
We watched Elijah walk out of my house as he closed the door. There was an awkward silence. Claire walked over to me.
"What happened after that kiss last night?" Claire asked.
"Do you want some tea?"
"Oh no, you are not avoiding the question," said Claire.
"Fine, I'll make some tea then I'll fill you in. Okay?"
"Okay and no leaving any details out," said claire.
"okay take a seat on the couch or at the table then we'll talk"
Claire walked over to the table taking a seat. A few minutes later the tea is ready. I walked over to the take with both mugs in my hands and placed one in front of Claire then sat down with her.
"So what happened with Elijah?"
I took a sip of my tea then placed the mug in front of me.
"We had," I paused, "sex!"
"Wait, what? You had sex with Elijah?" Claire asked.
"yeah"
"Wow, I can't believe you had sex with him. I knew you liked him, that's why I dared you to kiss both brothers"
"am...am I a bad friend?" I asked, looking down at my cup of tea.
"No, of course not, but I must know how it was"
"How was what?" I asked.
" Come on, was he good in bed?" asked Claire.
I looked down at my tea trying to hide my blushed cheeks.
"It was incredible and he was amazing in bed, " I responded with a huge grin on my face.
"I've never seen you this lit up in a long time. Not since jake "
Putting on a brave face I smiled as I heard his name again. It's been 8 months since it ended between us.
"It feels so wrong but right at the same time. Does that make sense?" I asked.
"Yes, that makes sense. So are you going to see each other again?" Claire asked.
"I've told him we can't be together and that I could never keep a secret like that from fraya"
"oh okay, I understand that but how does that make you feel?" Claire asked.
"To be honest, It's painful. I want to be with him... But enough about me, what did you want to talk about?"
"oh I was just wanted to talk about your birthday coming up"
"You know I don't like anything big and that I don't want to do anything"
"I know but you're 26 this year. We have to celebrate"
I shook my head, "fine. But you know my birthday isn't for a month, right?"
"Yes I know that, but you know me I love to prepare in advance"
We both continued talking for hours. Before we knew it was already noon.
"Claire, Do you want anything to eat? I was going to make some 2-minute noodles," I asked as that's what I have been craving lately.
"um sure"
A few minutes later the noodles are ready to eat. I had both noodle cups with forks in them in my hands walking back over to the table and placing one in front of Claire.
"Thanks, Mia"
I sat down at the table and we both started eating our noodles.
"So are you excited for our girls day next week?" I asked.
"yeah, since I'll be driving can you tell me where we will be going?" Asked Claire.
"Of course. Ok, so I was thinking we should head to the shops first then second stop the beach to cool off, have a swim and have some lunch there then to the spa to relax. Then maybe go to a restaurant for dinner. What do you think?"
"that sounds amazing, it sounds just what we need" said Claire.
We both finished our cups of tea and noodles.
"Claire, I need to tell you something"
"What is it?" Claire asked.
I took a deep breath and opened my mouth to speak. That's when Claire's phone started ringing.
"I'm sorry Mia, I have to take this. It's my mum"
"It's okay"
I watched Claire walk off into the living room. I was about to tell her the secret I've been keeping for the past 8 months. This secret is eating me up inside.
I feel awful for not telling Claire sooner but it's never the right time. While I waited for Claire to return I cleaned up everything, threw away the rubbish and washed the teacups. Just as I finished cleaning up Claire walked over to me.
"Hey, I'm sorry I have to go"
"Oh okay. Is everything okay with your mum? I asked worriedly.
In a split second, I saw a hint of fear in Claire's eyes. I knew something was wrong but she always puts a smile like everything is fine. When it's not.
"Uhh yeah, everything is fine," Claire responded in a soft nervous voice.
"We can talk another time"
"Are you sure? I can stay for a minute" asked Claire.
I shook my head, "No, no it's okay"
Deep down I knew I should have told Claire but once again the timing is wrong.
We both walked to the door, hugged each other than Claire left. I grabbed my diary, sat down on the couch and started writing.
Dear diary,
Tuesday 12/03/2018
A Lot has happened since last night. I had a great time at fraya's sleepover. First Claire dared me to kiss both of fraya's brothers. To be honest I was surprised that I was going to be able to kiss Elijah. It was a dream come true. The kiss I shared with Elijah was magical.
This morning has been amazing. I had sex with Elijah. Yes, you heard me right. I HAD SEX WITH ELIJAH! Ahhhhh! I'm freaking out. I can't believe it really happened.
And I must say it was incredible. It was everything I dreamed it would be like.
Even as a vampire he was so gentle. I thought he would be dominant in bed but he wasn't.
I told him we couldn't be a couple. It broke my heart.
This was everything I dreamt of ever since I bumped into him on the first day of college.
When I met fraya in college she told all her friends both of her brothers are OFF limits. So we made a girl code. If we started dating I don't know how fraya would react. I don't want to hurt frayas feelings.
I know we both want this to happen but I couldn't do that to fraya right? Even if he makes me happy?
