...Then Again I Hate You by Bianca Gray (motivational books for men TXT) 📕

just looked at me.
"What? I am," I said wiping the grass from my silk dress. I put my black cloak on over it and put the hood up.
"Can we get some?" I asked. Christa and Destiny shrugged.
"You won't like it as much as you did when you were human," said Christa. I smiled.
"I think I may," I said. Destiny shrugged.
"Then lets go to the bakery," she said. We ran out of the woods and then had to walk as slow as slugs so humans wouldn't suspect anything. Finally we got to the bakery. We walked in and the sweet smell of bread and pastries surrounded us. It smelled so good. Destiny and Christa made a face when they smelled it.
"One pastry please," I said taking off my hood. The poor boy at the counter gasped and I could hear his heart beating faster. I smiled at him. I could hear his blood going up to his face. He blushed and his heart beat went way faster. He handed me a random pastry. It smelled so good.
"That would be 12 euros," he said in his italian accent. I checked my cloaks pockets. No money. I smiled awkwardly.
"I'm so sorry, I don't know where my money went," I said apologetically.
"No worries, you can have it for free," he said hurridly. I smiled at him again. I could hear every word he was thinking. He was a pig.
"Thanks!" I said cheerfully. I put my hood up over my head and left the shop. I hated that boy's thoughts. Destiny and Christa were waiting for me outside the shop.
"Got your pastry? Lets go," she said when I nodded. I ate the pastry. Mm, it didn't have the exact delicious flavor that I remember it having but it still tasted okay. We got back to the house...well not really a house more like an ancient castle. I walked into my room and saw Corin walking around pacing. Then he came over to me and looked at my slightly disheveled hair and grass on my dress. He grabbed my shoulders.
"Are you okay?" he asked frantically. I walked around him.
"I'm fine. I thought I left you mindless," I said throwing my cloak onto my bed.
"Yeah, for a minute. It was scary, not being able to do anything. I could see and hear with all clarity, I just couldn't think and everything was dark, don't do that to me ever again," he said glaring at me.
"No promises," I said. Then I looked at him.
"How did you only stay like that for a minute?" I asked surprised. He shrugged.
"It wore off?" he asked. I shook my head. I could feel that my power was powerful enough to fullfill my order... I looked at him irritated. If this was also part of this whole soulmate principle, I swear to God I'll rip his head off.
"Oh!" cried out Corin jumping on my bed and grabbing something there.
"What?" I asked. He handed me an I-Pod.
"Aro had Felix bring this in. He says it has all your favorite songs in it," said Corin. An I-Pod? I've never had one of those. I smiled, I felt so happy. I put the earbuds in my ears and Taylor Swift's "Tied Together with a Smile" started blasting. I started singing to it and started dancing around the room. Corin just sat on my bed looking amused. Then I plugged it into the I-Pod speaker thing and turned it up all the way. Then I made Corin get up and we started dancing around the room. Then it turned into a pillow fight with Taylor Swift singing in the background. I was actually having fun with him instead of hating his little guts. I was laughing. And screaming when he would hit a pillow at me. There were feathers all over the room. Then suddenly Aro was in the doorway of my room. We froze, our pillows in the air. I dropped mine and he did the same. I curtsied while Corin bowed.
"Hello," Aro said looking amused. Caius looked upset looking around my room. Marcus looked, expressionless.
"Sorry, we were just having a bit of fun," I explained.
"I see," said Aro looking around the room. If I was able to blush, I would.
"So, have you seen that you two are soulmates yet?" asked Aro.
"We aren't soulmates," we both answered immediately. Aro looked at us with disappointment.
"Well, I would really like it if you two could find out soon. Because we are leaving in two weeks," said Aro.
"What?" I asked when Corin asked, "Where?"
"To Forks, Washington of course. We must see our good friends," said Aro smiling. I knew we were seeing the Cullens. Something about having me and Destiny, we could now take them down.
"Are they bad people?" I asked out loud. Aro smiled hardly.
"Of course they're not. We are friends," he said. Riiiggghhhttt, I thought, you can't lie to me darling Father.
"So, you want us to figure out if we are soulmates or not by that time?" I asked.
"Yes," he answered looking at me in the eye.
"Okay," I said. He nodded and closed the door.
"What? No goodnight?" I asked Corin.
"Since we live forever, there really isn't a need for it," he said.
"Oh," I said. He leaned forward and was really close to my face. I couldn't breathe. His eyes were like melted emerald.
"I hear you can connect with people's minds," he whispered his cool breath washing over my face. I pushed his chest, moving him away from me.
"Yes, I can," I said.
"Why don't you connect with mine?" he aked.
"Uh, no. I'd rather not," I said going over to sit on my bed.
"Why? Scared of what you might find?" he asked. I shook my head.
"No, terrified," I said smiling. He shook his head and smiled back. I sighed.
"Fine. But not with yours, someone else. You get to name," I said. He frowned in concentration. I stared at him. He was thinking so intensely about this.
"Alec," he said smirking.
"Okay," I said. My mind tried to find Alec's mind through the sea of minds around me. Destiny's room was close by and wherever there was Destiny, there was Alec. I moved my mind down the hall. I went through the door of Destiny's room. There I felt Alec's aura and hers. Then I felt electricity on my lips. My mind came reeling back like a rubberband that had been let go. I opened my eyes and realized that Corin was kissing me. Corin..? My mind asked. Before I knew it, I was kissing back. I pushed his chest before I started completely melting into water. I wiped my mouth angrily.
"WHAT WERE YOU DOING?" I asked angrily but I felt my face heat up from embarrassment. He shugged.
"Kissing you," he said simply. I just stared at him.
"I know THAT!" I exclaimed. I looked away from his curious green eyes.
"What were you doing KISSING me?" I whispered. He sighed.
"I wanted to know what it would feel like," he said shrugging. I just stared at him.
"I thought you wanted me to connect minds with Alec," I said pointedly. Then there was silence.
"Did you feel anything?" I asked. He looked up at me with such deep green eyes that were expressing one emotion, love. I looked away from him.
"Actually no," he said. I looked back at him.
"Yeah, me neither," I whispered. But I knew what we were both thinking. It was the best kiss either of us had ever had. There was some awkward silence following that. I kept chanting in my head, I hate him, I hate him, I hate him!
"Well, I'm going to bed," I said pulling back the covers on my bed. He nodded and hopped off of my bed.
"Yeah, me too," he said.
"Night," we both said at the same time as I turned off the lights. God...that was awkward...

CHAPTER 4

I woke up this morning and the first thing that entered my mind was Corin kissed me last night and it was amazing. I shook the thought from my mind.
"MORNING!" exclaimed Corin. I screamed bloody murder.
"You would've think she heard me," he muttered under his breath.
"Yeah, I did hear you just now," I said pointedly. He rolled his eyes. I peeled back my covers.
"Go away," I said.
"I'm not allowed to," he said.
"I hate you," I muttered while walking into the bathroom.
"Love you too," he called out. I closed the bathroom door and locked it. Then I peeled off my clothes and went into the scorching hot shower. It felt like rain. It unknotted my muscles and made me relax. Then I got dressed and walked out of the bathroom while brushing my hair. He was sitting on my bed, crisscross applesauce style. I just stared at him and rolled my eyes.
"Got to go, Christa's teaching me Italian," I said while heading out the door.
"I'M COMING WIIIITH!" exclaimed Corin. I stopped short.
"No, you're not," I said turning around to face him. He was right there. His face so close to mine. I turned back around quickly. For some reason, today, I could hear everyone's thoughts.
"CORIN YOU'RE NOT INVITED!" I yelled at him. He held up his arms in defeat.
"Okay, okay, okay. Fine, I got to go talk to Caius anyway," he said. Since I could everyone thoughts without wanting to this morning, I knew he was hurt. I sighed. Then Alec walked by. And I heard all his thoughts. Okay, ew. No. Please God. UUUUUGGGHHH!! He and...ugh Destiny. Ugh. GAH. I gagged while walking past him. Then I walked into Destiny's room. I smiled and cocked my head to the side.
"So, I passed by Alec on the way here," I said smiling. She looked surprised at first. Then embarrassed. Christa came in.
"What did I miss? What happened?" she asked looking at Destiny's sheepish looking face. I whispered in her ear about what I heard in Alec's thoughts. She started to giggle and smiled really big.
"AWWWW," she said. Destiny looked away.
"Whatever," she mumbled. We all headed over to Christa's room to learn some italian.

CHAPTER 4

This is stupid, I thought after like an hour of trying to learn Italian. I knew Destiny was thinking the same thing.
"I will NEVER get the hang of this," cried out Destiny. I nodded my head in agreement.
"It literally sucks," I said. Christa sighed.
"Yeah, I know," she said.
"How do you even KNOW Italian?" I asked. Christa shrugged.
"My mom made me learn it because we had a neighbor who only spoke Italian and I had to watch their kids," she said.
"You don't even like children..." Felix said. Christa smiled.
"And I didn't like Italian. Yeah that summer SUCKED," Christa said. Destiny chuckled.
"I can picture it, a very hyper girl who was forced to watch non English speaking kids. I bet their parents LOVED you," I said.
"CORIN WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE??!" I yelled suddenly at a not so sneaky Corin. He turned around and smiled.
"What?" he asked so innocently.
"Oh don't you 'what' me!" I cried out. I saw Destiny, Alec, Felix, and Christa giggling in the corner of my eye. And I heard their thoughts but whatever. I just ignored them. I grabbed Corin's wrist and pulled him down the corridor. I looked back at
