Immortalis - Book 1 (The Keeper's Immortals) Read Free

really did happen I called the one person who would remember; Trish. I picked up my cell, dialed her number and waited.
    “Morning loser.” Trish said as soon as she picked up. Oh the joys of caller ID, making answering the phone fun for the person answering.
    “Hey last night was I talking to a guy?” I asked, brushing past her attempt to annoy me which frustrated her.
    “Eh yeah, a hot one too. Why?” Trish asked through a yawn.
    “I’m coming over, I’ll explain in person because honestly I’m kinda spooked.”
    “Sure, I’ll through a couple of waffles in the toaster.” She said before hanging up. I threw on a pair of jeans, a band tee and my favorite pair of sneakers before hurrying out of the house as I pulled my hair back into a messy ponytail. Rather than walking I decided to borrow my brother’s car, sending him a text massage as I pulled out of the driveway just so he wouldn’t call the cops on me. I told him that it was an emergency, not that he would care just as long as I wasn’t gone to long and didn’t put a dent anywhere.
    I was at Trish’s in ten’s minutes, running around to the backdoor where I opened the door and took a seat at the bar only to have Trish sit a waffle covered in maple syrup in front of me. It smelt amazing but I just couldn’t force myself to eat anything at the moment. As soon as Trish was done with hers she stabbed her fork into mine and moved it to her own plate. I rolled my eyes at her actions.
    “What? I’m hungry and you’re not gonna eat it obviously.’ Trish said as she cut a piece off and shoved it into her mouth. ‘So what did you wanna talk about?”
    “The guy I was with last night, after we left the coffee shop he walked me home and we talked about the whole break up. He was telling me that I needed to force myself past it and move on, but that I didn’t know how and then…”
    “And then what?” Trish said, sounding more than lack luster, as she chewed on a rather large bite of her breakfast. Best friend or not Trish had grown tired of the Adam problems, talking about them and having me fully focused on them. It was all I thought about – until now.
     “He kissed me.” I blurted out before becoming extremely silent awaiting her friend’s reaction. Trish through the fork down, creating a large sound that filled the room, and even before she swallowed her food she let out a chuckle of jealously.
    “Shut up! Well, how was it?”  
    “It was…nice.” I said.
    “Just nice? That’s it?” Trish asked me, her tone making me think that she thought I was completely crazy. The first guy to show interest in me since Adam and I just said the kiss was ‘Nice’.
    “Yeah, nice. Made me forget about you know who which is what Reid’s goal was.” I explained.
    “Reid huh? Sexy.” She stated as she licked a drop of syrup from her thumb.
    “But the thing is when we were saying our good-byes I turned after unlocking the door and um…well, he was gone.”
    “Gone? Just like that?’ she said with a snap of her fingers. ‘What is he a vampire?” Trish said in a joking tone. I was so over the vampire fade but she wasn’t. I should have advised Charlie to dress up like Dracula and I bet she would have been on him like white on rice – but Italian food would surely do the trick as well.
    “Oh be quiet.’ I said in a huff. ‘This isn’t a movie. I really want…need to find him. Even if there isn’t anything romantic wise, I need to thank him. I haven’t thought about Adam since then. I just don’t know anything about him other than his name.” I explained. I really didn’t know if there were any feelings between myself and Reid other than the fact he was good looking but there were more to relationships then looks. Adam taught me that for sure.
    “So even if you just want to find this mystery guy to “thank him” how are you gonna do it, if you don’t know anything about him other than his name?” I couldn’t help but to look at
