Relaxing by the Poolside

" Can you juggle?" Vladen ask's disarmingly. This Vladen was a far different Vladen from the one she used to know. He was not so weighed down with the troubles of home.

He knew all about her parent's strange way's and had more than a few stories of his own strange upbringing to tell.

"So What happened after you disappered on me?" Vladen ask's subtly with a soft smile. She had suddenly disappered from his IM list shortly before she was meant to go to boarding school and he hadn't heard from her until he has stumbled across her severa; night's ago.

''My mother didn't let me watch too much television remember? I spent my nights learning to sing and play the piano simultaniously, which is surprisingly easy now,''The vampire mused. Her mother had brought her up strangely. Leahandra had everything she wanted. All excpet the permission to watch tv. Apparantly it killed brain cells. According to her mother anyway. She had grown up to accept this but missed out on a lot things, like ''Lamb Chop'' as Vaden had mentioned. Boarding school had been worse, she had been put in detention for a week for sticking a needle into another students hand after being told that she had missed a stitch one too many times. She blamed lack of TV for her short temper

"You never saw Lamb chop?..This is a song that dosent end?" Vladen ask's a little stunned. She had never seen Lamb chop, he thought everyone had.

Vladen drap's his towel about her shoulder's too upon relfex. He knew how conservative she could be and was suprised even at the bikini.

''Lamb chop?"Leahandra had no idea what he was on about. Pulling herself out of the pool in one swift movement, she flicked her wet hair from her eyes then used her telekiniseis to summon her towel to her and wrapped it round her waist. She didn't like being half naked in a place where almost anyone could be watching. Frowning slightly, she rubbed her head, trying to will the headache to go away before speaking again. ''What exactly is Lamb Chop?''

"Relax Leahandra..Mel and I are bonded. If i so much as felt a pang of lust after another woman she would know about it. Besides..She is all i need."

Vladen smiles but he cannot hide the briefly troubled look that passes before it. Vladen takes a soft sniff. Her scent betraying her headache.

"Leah...when we were kid's did you ever watch Lamb chop?" Vladen ask's casually. Unphased by her attempt at an enchanting smile.

Resurfacing slowly to glare at Vladen after making sure her top was in place, she spoke to him,"I don't think your lady friend would like to know you are spying on other girls having a swim. And don't talk in your head, I've had enough of that for today."She attempted to stop her blood red lips twisting into an enchanting smile. Last thing she needed was to be accused of stealing someones man.

Vladen had intened to meet Mel at the poolside. He was deeply trouble by the event's of the last few day's and how ill Mel had been over her nightmare's. Walking into the poolside in his blood red board short's and his towel draped over his muscular shoulder's and chest. Vladen just has time to see Leahandra slip into the water and begin to swim.

A slow and playful smile creases onto his features as he think's clearly and precisely. "Leahandra..your bikini top has come undone." Crouching beside the pool he wait's for her to surface with a now playful grin on his face.

Leahandra had a headache. Hearing so many thoughts in her head at one time always had this effect on her. Slowly, she made her way to the pool side and found a lounger in decent shadow. Swiftly, Leahandra stripped down to the midnight blue bikini she wore under her clothes. She folded her black top, leather trousers and long coat up neatly and placed them on the lounger next to her trademark leather knee high platform boots. Letting her raven hair cascade down over her back, she carefully made her way to the pool's edge and slid into the black, cold waters.She gradually emersed herself in the water. Decided that there was nothing she could do about the water temperature, she began to swim laps up and down the length of the pool.
