God Blessed Texas

I heard David chuckle softly. I guess he was starting to rub off me, I mean, I wouldn't normally try and piss off a strange vampire, especially one that apparently had anger issues too.

"If I need to, I will." Reid said as he stood up and towered over me, making me to have to take a step back he got so close. Reid was so close, that I could see his eyes turn to a dark cold black color. I think I went a bit too far. I was frozen in place. I couldn't move. Reid must've sensed my panic because he started to snicker.

Almost instantly my vision of Reid was blocked that of Elliott. Wasn't he over by Michael and Laura? But then I rDaveDavebered that he has lightening fast reflexes. Haley thumped Reid on the back of the head and started whispering harshly to him.

Elliott then turned to face me and looking at me, making sure I was alright. What was that in his eyes? Was that llove? I know that he loved me, but the way he was looking at me, was the way I saw David and Davealynn look at each other. The more I thought about it; that was the same way I saw Sadie look at Beau.

"Are you alright Lindsey?" I couldn't form a sentence. Elliott looked at me just now, the way someone would look at someone they loved. Not the way I thought I loved him. He looked at me like I was the only one that mattered. I couldn't but feel the same way. That's when it finally hit me. Ever since I started getting weird feelings about Elliott, I was actually starting to fall for Elliott. Yes, I was sure of it. I was, and forever will be, in love with Elliott Whitlock.

"I'm fine Elliott, thank you. I um, have something to tell you. Can we talk in private?" I said as I looked around the room. I know that it was a sudden request, and that it came out of nowhere. I just wanted to confront my feelings for Elliott and confess to him. I wasn't sure why I wanted to tell him. It was something inside me telling me that he felt the same way.

It was as if they knew what I wanted to talk about, because my entire family and Reid and Haley left the room.

"What is it darlin'? are you alright? You know you can tell me anything." Elliott said with confusion and worry laced within his voice.

"I-I'm fine. I wanted to say that I have feelings for you." That sounded so lame when I actually said it. It sounded better in my head. I hated when that would happen.

"Well darlin' I have feelings for you too, I mean we all have feelings." He said matter-of-factly. I mentally smacked myself. I was being too generic. I couldn't beat around the bush I suppose. "Elliott Whitlock, are your really this dense? I am in love with you, you idiot!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

Then I realized what I said and immediately turned a bright shade of red, and if Elliott were human, he would be blushing a bit too. I tried to ramble out an explanation, but I was shushed with a finger against my lips. I took a deep break and stopped talking.

What happened next was more magical than I could have ever imagined. Elliott leaned in and kissed me. I felt that same type of spark. I couldn't help but be urged on by this spark and we started kissing feverishly. Once he ended the kiss, I had to catch my breath I was so frantic with my kisses, it was as if he had been waiting a while to do that as I had been apparently too.

"IsaLindsey Marie Donovan. I hope you don't mind my forwardness, I was just so relieved to hear that you felt the same way I have been feeling." Elliott said with a big grin on his face. So he had been feeling the same way and didn't even bother to mention it to me? Then I realized that that would've been an awkward conversation, especially if I had turned him down. But I know in my heart that I wouldn't have turned him down. Something had been brewing inside of me for awhile as well, I had just shrugged it off.

"Elliott, I don't mind you being forward. I am just glad that you feel the same way I do." When I said that he smiled even wider. Elliott then took me in a sDavei-tight hug and lifted me off the ground for a split second. "Just one question Elliott, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Well, I wasn't sure if you felt the same way, and I didn't want to make what relationship we had with each other an awkward one. Besides, if I would've told you that I love you, would you have believed me?"
