The Vampires Pet

Chapter 18: Dress up time!

We went inside and Amdis asked, “did he treat you well?”

“Why wouldn’t he? I thought you said you trusted him more than anyone?”

“I do to protect you, dating wise, he can be a bit of a ladies man.”

“Like you?” I asked.

“Perhaps, but I know that is not what you want.”

“Actually, you don’t know what I want at all.” I snapped.

He stayed calm and unreadable and asked, “ok, what is it that you want?”

Oh God, could I be brave enough to tell him right now? Therapy must have been really helping me out because I decided to be brave and do the whole rip the band-aid off method, like Kane had said, the worst he could do was say no.

“I want to date you like Michelle does.”

There I said it, I was blushing, and my cheeks were on fire, but I did it.

Amdis couldn’t hide his look of surprise that time, and he said, “you know I date more than one woman?”

“Yes.”

“I feed on them.”

“Are they enough? Or would you have to feed on me too?”

He kept his face perfectly blank at the mention of feeding on me and said, “no, I suppose I wouldn’t have to.”

“Good, then you can date me too!”

He frowned at me and said, “you know I am also intimate with all my lovers?”

“I know.”

“And you are fine with that?”

“Yes, I’m a grown woman Amdis, I’m aware of what I’m getting myself into.”

He was still frowning at me like he wasn’t sure I was aware at all, but finally, he said, “I’m not sure it is a good idea, you are also my pet.”

“You’ve already explained you won’t ever fall in love or settle down with someone, I know that.”

“Being my pet makes the feelings between us more intense.”

“I’ll be fine, unless of course you really aren’t attracted to me at all and don’t want to date me?”

He was quiet, and I tried my last attempt to sway him. “At least go on one date with me and see how you feel after, give me one chance.”

I felt so shy and awkward basically begging him to go on a date with me, but if he said no, at least I’d know I tried all I could and could try to move on.

He was quiet for a minute, looking me over and then he said, “very well, that is fair enough, I will take you on a date and see how we get along in the romantic sense.”

“Shouldn’t I be the one taking you on a date seeing as I asked you out?”

“No, I always take the lady out, I am very old fashioned in that sense and I hope that will not offend you.”

“Nope, holy crap, you actually said yes!” I grinned excitedly. He rolled his eyes at me and muttered, “I am already regretting it, now please, get inside.”

I ran inside feeling all giddy and happy, but I lost the grin when Michelle smiled and asked, “what are you so happy about?”

This was awkward, she didn’t seem to care about his other lovers, but would she feel differently about me?

“Uh, I kind of asked Amdis out on a date, I should have asked you first,” I whispered while he was locking up the door.

She waved a hand at me grinning, “don’t be silly, he isn’t mine to own, he’s a hotty, why wouldn’t you want to ask him out! I’m happy for you!”

I grinned again until she asked, “you’re still a virgin, aren’t you?”

I nodded, and she asked, “did you want me to give you any tips on what to do with him in bed?”

My eyes grew wide, and I whispered, “no! It’s just one date to see how he feels about me, and he might say he doesn’t want to date me, and even if we did, I just want to date, hold hands and kiss, nothing else, not unless he by some miracle decided he wanted to settle down with me.”

“You are such a good girl,” she teased.

“He’s got you and probably fifty other women to please him, I’m sure he can spare my vagina.”

“Rochelle!” She laughed in surprise.

Amdis came over to us and said, “Rochelle, get some rest now.”

“I’m not tired.”

“Go to bed.”

“You’re not my dad.”

“No, but I know you and how you hate waking up early, we have training tomorrow.”

He had a point and our training was always in the mornings, so I sighed, “fine, goodnight.”

“Night,” Michelle laughed.

“Goodnight Rochelle,” was Amdis’ cool and blunt reply.

When we trained the next day, I swear Amdis was more cold than usual, he didn’t laugh or smile, and I wondered if he was regretting the whole date thing.

I think he was worried about me getting hurt but if I did, it would all be my own fault, he had already warned me he wasn’t looking for love or to settle down, he had said he didn’t want to lead me on or give me false hope, he had told me all that, and I’d still asked him for a date so if it ended badly, I would have no one to blame but myself.

When training was over, I said, “when do you want to go on a date?” I was shy about asking, but I also wanted to check he hadn’t changed his mind.

He hesitated, and I almost thought he had changed his mind, but in the end he said, “how about tonight?”

“Ok!” I smiled, but inside I was panicking a little, was he in a rush to get it over with, so he could then say he tried but wasn’t interested in dating me? I didn’t know, he was still such a mystery.

“What’s your favourite colour?” I asked him.

“What?” He replied.

“What’s your favourite colour?”

“Why would you want to know such a thing?”

“Because I know nothing about you and I know you won’t share anything personal, so, favourite colour?”

Sighing, he said, “gold and blue are my favourite colours.”

I nodded and patted his shoulder as I passed him by, making him sigh again.

I really should act more womanly for him, but it wasn’t in my nature to be anything other than myself, besides, he already knew what I was really like, and it would be way too obvious I was trying too hard to be something I wasn’t if I suddenly started acting more mature and sexy.

I messaged Kane about the date, and he replied, ‘told you, now you owe me.’

‘Owe you what?’ I asked.

‘Hmm, how about a picture of you in your bra and panties? I know you won’t go nude for me.’

‘Kane, you perv!’

‘Just one pic.’

‘You won’t like my body.’

‘Yes I will.’

‘You won’t, it’s covered in scars.’

‘I’m sorry babe, I’m going to help Amdis hunt those fuckers down for hurting you.’

I was so nervous but also a little excited, doing something naughty and sexy. When I was in just my panties and bra, I took a picture of myself and quickly sent it before I backed out of doing it.

I nervously waited for his reply, would he be disgusted?

When he messaged, I rushed to open it up.

‘You look beautiful, babe.’

I smiled happily, Kane was so sweet for an apparent sociopath.

“Thanks!’ I sent back.

‘I got to do some work, but have fun on your date gorgeous x’

Grinning, I put the phone down and tried to find something to wear. It was only lunchtime, but I was too excited to wait around.

I found an emerald green dress that was way sexier than any of the other dresses I had worn, I wasn’t sure I was brave enough to wear it, but then Amdis had so many sexy lovers I was going to have to try hard to get his attention, especially when he was already reluctant about it.

Michelle helped me pick it out, it was one of hers that she hadn’t worn and was thinking of throwing it out. I tried it on and it looked incredible. It was velvet, and had long sleeves going up to the shoulders, it was low cut and seemed to push my b.reasts up, making them look bigger and very noticeable. The dress had a long slit up one side of the leg and I really worried it was too much. “It’s way too much,” I said to Michelle.

“No it’s not, with a vampire like Amdis you want to catch his eye, we are mere humans and have to think he has probably seen every outfit and every beautiful female, human or otherwise in his lifetime. You look sexy!”

“I like the slit, but you can see my scars.”

“Do you want me to help you cover them with makeup?”

I nodded, some of them were too big and nasty looking to be unnoticeable, but I could at least tone it right down and maybe make it unnoticeable unless someone really focused.

I did my makeup how I did for the date with Kane except this time, knowing Amdis liked gold, I wore gold eyeshadow. Michelle gave me a gold bracelet to wear and a thick gold choker with some delicate long drop earrings that looked so pretty.

Michelle did my hair for me, she made two small ponytails either side off the top of my head and did this loop thing making them almost look like they had been braided on top of my head while the rest flowed in naturally with the rest of my long curls I’d left down, I think this was the best I’d ever looked and I loved it.

Michelle gave me some black heels to wear which I tried to reject, but she insisted, my feet still hurt from the scarring under them, but she put something soft in the shoes, I don’t know what they were, I wasn’t really a shoe person, but they added cushion to the foot and my feet didn’t hurt.

I think we had spent most of the day in my room getting me ready and choosing what to wear, that it was almost time to go on the date. I hadn’t even eaten all day because I’d been both too busy and excited.
