FIFTEEN.

Katie POV.
“Tiger, you should go and save mommy,” I say looking at the door, I was very worried about her, William doesn’t look like a nice guy, what if he hurts her? Tiger growls at me, and she doesn’t leave me to save mommy, she cuddled closer to me, placing her whole body in the middle of my lap, refusing to move, the TV was still going but I didn’t pay any attention to it, my attention was on the door, waiting for her to come back in.
Finally the door opened and she came back in, she was still in one piece and that made me relax a bit, he didn’t hurt her, I hoped that he left on his own way, but he came right back in after her, I growled at him as did Tiger, keeping her eye closed, still laying in my lap.
“Mommy, why is he here?” I ask her worriedly.
“Katie, I need to talk to you,” she says and my heart almost stops, I don’t think I have a beating heart anymore, but it stops again, I’m not undead anymore, I’m frozen from fear and worry.
“Are you giving me up?” I ask her right away, the fear getting the best of me, I couldn’t hide the fact that I’m terrified of her letting me go, picking William over me, hating me now and wanting him.
“Katie, what did I promise you?” she asks in a very firm voice.
“That you’re not letting me go,” I say, I wasn’t worried about that for so long, but right now I’m terrified.
“And I’m not going to, not ever,” she assures me and I could relax just a little bit, I wasn’t very relaxed, I’m still very worried about the other man in the house and the need for the talk.
“Okay,” I say waiting for her to explain what’s going on.
“You’re feeling big now? Right?” she asks me and I nod, I wasn’t small at all, I felt the older I have ever done, I’m not three hundred years now, I feel like I’m a thousand or two thousand years old now.
“You can tell me,” I say my eyes drifting back to William.
“William, if you don’t mind,” she says and he nods, walking out of the house and leaving us alone, I could breathe out, I was holding my breath without thinking, his presence scared me.
“Look at me, don’t be scared,” she says and I nod, but I’m still scared.
“Breathe,” she orders and I do, she smiles at me as if I’m some kind of silly little girl.
“Now breathe out,” she reminds me, and I do, I inhaled and exhaled following her instruction until I actually calmed down, and I looked at her with a clearer mind.
“Does William’s presence scare you?” she asks me.
“Terrifies me, nu like him Evelyn what if he steels you away?” I ask her worriedly, what if he takes her away from me, what if she doesn’t want me anymore?
“We talked about the fact that I’m not letting you go, no matter what happens, even if the wolves decide to come out now and try to steal you away from me, I’m not letting you go, no matter what, I promise little one,” Evelyn reminds me and I nod.
“Do we need to breath again?” she asks and I shook my head no, I was good, I wasn’t going to shake with fear again.
“I’m okay,” I assure her.
“Good girl, now William, he’s my creator,” she says and I looked at her confused.
“Creator?” I repeat the word.
“He’s the one who made me a vampire, in my days we didn’t have the hospital,” she says and I nod.
“You were little when you shifted?” I ask her, I remember that I was tiny when I first woke up.
“I was, I crawled all over William, I was his favourite, he took care of me, he didn’t throw me to someone else, he had to do the dirty work,” she says and I giggled.
“Is William a daddy?” I asked her, I didn’t know what he was for sure.
“He is one, but that’s not what I want to tell you about,” she says and I looked at her with wide eyes, trying to keep up with everything.
“Okay?” I say waiting for her to tell me what she wanted to tell.
“William is an old friend of mine, I know you only saw the part of him where he took over the world, but he’s a great boss, he’s a guy who cares, and he’s not as bad as you think he is, he’s a great friend,” she assures me.
“Why are you telling me so?” I asked her, I didn’t want to be near him, why did I need to know all that information about him?
“Because well, baby, if you don’t mind, if you’d do this for me, and I promise I’ll pay you back one way or another, I’ll make it up for you,” she assures me and I nod, she doesn’t have to make anything up for me, she promised to never let me go, and I believed her, that’s all I wanted to know.
“You don’t have to make anything up for me, you just have to keep me,” I say with a shy smile which makes her smile as well.
“William is going to stay with us for a while,” she says shyly.
“Why?” I ask her.
“Because he wants to know you,” she says.
“Me? Why?” I ask her again.
“He needs friends, and well I’m his friend and he wants to make another one,” she says but that doesn’t make sense, I nodded to her, but I didn’t understand why he wanted to be my friend, there was some things that she’s not telling me, I knew there’s some more things she’s hiding.
“You’re not telling me the whole truth,” I say out loud.
“I’m not, but this is what you need to know, William wants to stay with us, he wants to get to know you, will you give him a chance? For me?” she begs me, I couldn’t say no to her, she rarely says no to me, she lets me do almost everything, she’s the only one I trust and love, and for her, I’d do anything.
“Just for you,” I say nodding my head yes, I’ll try to be friends with William.
“How about we call him back in?” she suggests and I nod, letting her go and call him, William walks back into the house with a big smile on his face.
“We agreed on letting you stay with us, as our friend,” Evelyn says and William gives her a look, a glare, a death glare, he isn’t happy about her answer.
“Evelyn,” he says sounding offended.
“You either take it or leave it,” she says.
“I’ll take it,” he growls and sits right next to me, Tiger is interested in him again, interested in making him the target of her attacks.
“What’s the tabby name?” he asks me.
“Tiger,” I say with a smile, seeing that she’s not letting him go.
“Nice cat,” he says holding her neck and avoiding her teeth.
“She doesn’t like you,” I say with a big smile on my face, loving that my cat hates him too.
“She’ll get used to me,” he assures the both of us, it felt like he was talking to me more than he was meaning Tiger.
“What’s your classification?” I ask him.
“I’m a daddy, and dom, sometimes I can be a master, but I prefer staying as a daddy,” he answers me.
“Do you have a little?” I ask her, why is he here with us and not with his little one.
“No, sadly, I don’t have anyone yet, maybe I’ll be lucky and land one or two,” he says with a wink and I glare at him, he’s a playboy, why is he here?
“Then you should go to the school,” I answer him with too much sass.
“Katie,” mommy scolds from her position on the sofa, she’s sitting closer to him than me, I whined and got up, I walked toward her with raised arms, and she placed me in her lap and kissed the top of my head.
“So you’re mommy little girl?” William says.
“I’m her one and only,” I say sticking my tongue out at him, she smacks my thigh lightly in a scolding manner.
“Watch it,” she warns her.
“She’s fine Eve, we’re just getting to know each other,” he assures mommy, while I glare at him.
“She needs to watch her manners, I know I taught her better than this,” mommy says firmly.
“We’re on vacation Eve, relax, I’m the stranger who interrupted her mommy and me time,” he says so he knew he ruined my vacation, why is he here.
“Then why don’t you leave?” I ask him with big smile on my face.
“This is going to be interesting,” mommy groans, but I kept glaring at him, I don’t trust him, not as a friend or someone who wouldn’t try to steal my mommy.
