Anacosta Heights
Dupont Circle
Hawethorn Village
River Dale
Situated above the daily life of the city, Anacosta Heights is a tucked away suburb featuring extravagant neo-gothic inspired mansions. The inhabitants of this neighborhood often show their overwhelming wealth with sports cars lining their long, circular driveways, large pools, and manicured gardens. The homeowners of Anacosta Heights treasure their privacy as seen by the high iron gates to the security personnel present at every entrance.
Dupont Circle is a small suburban neighborhood settled within the serene portion of the southern portion of town. These four-bedroom, single-family homes feature back yards, porches, garages, and far more breathing space then the Village offers. This neighborhood often is more family orientated and even has organized events for children and the neighborhood as a whole.
Settled in the middle of downtown, Hawthorn Village consists of several victorian inspired row houses just off the main street. Due to it's convenience to just about everything, the village can be a tad expensive to live within. However, the residents of this neighborhood often have two to three-story townhouses, often with a one to two-car garage. Many of the houses feature bay windows and/or rooftop terraces with a small fenced-in 'yard'.
River Dale primarily consists of apartments that, despite their age and industrial appearing interior, still hold to the Victorian history that permeates the town. These apartments are often the cheapest option and sport scuffed, older wooden floors, open floor plans, visible beams, and the occasional brick wall.
I don't know how I even managed to convince him to fall asleep at a decent hour. Though I guess the "activities" I indulged him in beforehand did help sway him a little. I've been slowly but surely allowing Kohl to teach me about the more physical aspects of our relationship. It's still weird to think about being in a relationship. I never thought I'd feel this way about anyone. I don't know how Kohl did it but it terrifies me. I just hope he's the last to get past my defenses so easily. Otherwise I may be weakening as a hunter. Yet even in sleep, I have always been a light sleeper, waking at the slightest noise out of survival. I was being hunted myself for the longest time and what better time to take out a hit than when they're most vulnerable in bed? Even since I've allowed my presence more at Kohl's house, I find it even more important now to be light on my toes because it's not just me I'm protecting anymore. I have him to think about too. I can feel his uneasy shifting beside me in the bed and it's all I can do not to let him know I'm still a little awake and maybe talk or find something to pass the time until he's actually tired. If anything, it's a little irritating that just when I find the perfect position to fall asleep, he rolls or shifts and I'm right back to square one. When he does finally scoot out of bed, I keep my position, not wanting him to know I'm awake. He's done this before and usually he's gone for a few hours then comes back to bed looking relatively exhausted and I'm finally satisfied to snuggle a little closer and maybe fall asleep with my head on his chest. At first I found this position very awkward but over time, I came to find his chest quite comfortable and when his arm wraps around me...well, I feel safe, as odd as that is. But tonight, there's a new energy in the house when he gets up and disappears into the kitchen so I roll over in defeat and open my eyes, glancing toward the door as if waiting for him to come back. When I hear a woman's voice though, curiosity burns in my mind and without further ado, I sneak quietly out of bed and make my way to the kitchen. I peek around the doorway, blinking a few times at the computer screen I can just make out over Kohl's shoulder. He's talking to someone. I lean my head back around before I can be seen, listening instensely now as I lean against the wall and furrow my brows in puzzlement. What's he doing? I can't help but smile a little when they start talking about me and the person on the other end sounds surprised to find him with one girl. I guess that makes me different after all. Though the mention of a wedding almost has me giving up my position as I put my hand over my mouth to suppress the gasp. I listen to the rest of the conversation, wondering if we're really going to Paris and wondering what kind of part Kohl is looking for. I heard something about a phone but what does he mean by substance? When he returns to what he was doing before, I bite my bottom lip, stuck between going out there and interrogating him for information or sneaking back to bed to pretend I didn't hear so I could pretend to be surprised if he does bring up the plans to go to Paris and then I could find out from there. The second part is more my style, more sneaky, but then it's also more dishonest to Kohl. I want to trust him, really, I do, but why is he making these calls late at night when I'm asleep if he trusts me? The thought actually hurts, making my chest tighten. Finally I can't take it anymore and I let out my breath slowly before straightening up and coming around the doorway. He's too focused on his task to notice so I stop behind him and slowly run my hands down over his shoulders and down his chest. I lean my head down beside his on his shoulder, slowly turning my head to place feather light kisses on his neck. I know how he likes this. When I know I've got his attention, I whisper silkily in his ear. "What part are we getting from Paris and what does it do?" |
