Chapter 5: Trinity

Goddamnit. I’d done it again. Jonathan would now think that I wanted something more than him to come to the meeting. Although I could never be totally sure what went through Jonathan’s mind, the look on his face was evident enough. The worst part of all of this though was that when I looked at Jonathan, I realized how much I wanted him.

After 900 years Jonathan still made ME feel the butterflies in my stomach, the way he looked at me, his laugh, the way his hair fell into place, everything that Jonathan did made me want him all the more. At one point I would have blamed bloodlust for this reaction, but all of his blood in my system has been replaced. Randomly I would have flashes of what we used to have together and I would have to brace myself against a wall to control myself.

When Jonathan showed up in my office, he sat directly across from me, the scientists had not yet arrived, but I busied myself with reviewing the information that they had forwarded to me. I could feel Jonathan’s gaze on my face, but I ignored it. When the scientists walked in I rose and shook their hands. Jonathan did the same, and once again sat down across from me.

We discussed the basics of what the scientists were researching- synthetic blood, which in most part I wasn’t quite sure what went into it, but as long as we could present an alternative, maybe we could integrate with the humans. It was an option that I had been throwing around for a while, way before I ever asked the scientists to research it.

Almost as quickly as they had arrived, the group of scientists left, leaving me with a lot to think about. They cleared the room, but Jonathan stayed seated across from my place. I walked to behind my desk and his eyes followed me.

“I love the way you look in those jeans Trinity.” He spoke out of the blue.

“Damien is waking Jonathan, get out of my office.” I chose not to respond to his comment because I knew in the deepest part of me it would lead me down a path I was not ready for.
