Monster Academy - The Blood of Mermaids - Chapter Two

Castle of Dreams:
Darren stared at the room, he hadn't been expecting this at all...but he smiled at Alex none the less and scooped her up "Its amazing Alex! how did you do this?" Alex shrugged "I told the principal about what happened last year with the Ogre, he said he'd have a new dorm constructed just for us...as long as we didn't tell anyone about Dante and his gang"

Darren flinched slightly as he remembered the incidents last year, even though they were months in the past, the events that had happened were fresh in his mind, the encounter with the Lamia, the Ogre...and Dante, the changeling. They were all dead now, but the events still hurt whenever they flashed through his mind.

He quickly smiled again and ran his fingers along her hips "So...does this mean we're...room mates?" She grinned and leaned in, kissing him "What do you think?"

He smiled against her lips "I've missed kissing you so much..." "Me too...and you know what else i've missed?" He raised a brow "What?" She quickly took his ratty suitcase and threw it in the corner...she then unbuttoned her shirt and Darren stared "Oh...that"

Alex laughed "Your so dumb some times..." she then pulled Darren against her, kissing him, he kissed he back, unzipping his hoodie and letting it fall to the floor, she moaned in approval and took his shirt in her hands, starting to pull it off. Darren suddenly stiffend slightly, he could tell something was wrong, he pulled away from her and stared into her eyes "Alex....whats wrong?"

"W-What do you mean?" "Your hiding something...i can tell in the way you kiss me...its like your trying to draw all my attention on the kiss and not you..."

She sighed "...Look, theres nothing Darren...its just been a long couple of months...i really need to relax" She then ran her fingers up his shirt and along his abs "Want to help me relax?"

Darren stared down at her, he could tell she was still hiding something...but sighed and smiled "We could both use some relaxation..."
