Rose couldn’t help but stare at his mouth when he laughed. It wasn’t like she was only looking for his fangs. She knew they were there, and sure, that would be interesting to see. But really, he had a nice smile. A good looking mouth. And a handsome beard. And there were fangs in there somewhere.
How weird that they used to play at the playground. She remembered one time he knocked her over and she cried not about being knocked over but about the grass stains in her favorite pants.
For being childhood friends, or something, she didn’t really know all that much about him, in a personal sense. They played together as kids before he outgrew her and they went their separate ways. So when he mentioned his birth father, she was all ears. She leaned her elbow on the desk and listened intently.
“That’s really sweet actually.” But the rest of his personal confession made her kind of sad. She touched his arm reassuringly. She pulled her hand away quickly and picked nervously at her nails. “I don’t really know anything about my birth mother either.” She shrugged one shoulder. “I’ve just seen one or two pictures. I’m pretty sure she just spoke English though.” She laughed lightly and shrugged again. “Who knows. Well, my dad knows but he doesn’t like talking about it so --- yeah.”
The topic of their parentage fell by the wayside when he returned to the subject of tutoring her. Rose settled in to take her lesson, halfway determined to learn something, but she was mostly distracted by the sudden longing to just pal around with her old friend.
When he mentioned the time constraints on their study session, she cocked her head. “What you got a hot date or something?” She blurted it out unthinkingly and then stared with determination at her French homework while she tried to will the blush away.
