A Vampire Kiss

Michael

A new day

I decided to go on another job hunt today. But right now I just wanted to lay here for a bit longer. Breathe him in and just relax.

Five minutes go by and I decided to get moving. I got up and got my scalding shower and got myself ready for the new day.

I got my favorite cereal and ate.

As I head out the front door I saw on the handle a small bracelet with cute little trinkets. I smiled and knew it was from Him.

What was his name….. what did he mean when he said “ I came here for you….”

I decided to walk through the woods again today. To see if I could find Him.

I wish I knew his name…..

He is so beautiful….

Will he come to me…..

My thoughts were interrupted by a voice.

“Hello again.”

“Can I ask what your name is?”

“Michael.”

I sighed, “hmmm…. Michael.”

He let out a giggle, “ what is your name?”

“Lilly.”

“Hmmm…. A beautiful name for a beautiful woman….”

I smiled shyly and let out a little laugh.

“I guess.”

His brow furrowed and asked, “You don't think you're beautiful?”

“No… just look at me…”

“ I am….” He breathed. “You're breathtaking.”

My face turned beet red as he said this. “I am not used to compliments. I have always been told I was ugly… Been the outcast….”

His brow furrowed again. And this time he seemed a bit angry. Then said, “Well you are stunning. And anyone who says otherwise is a moron.”

“ Thank you…” I breathed. “You're not like everyone else.”

“ You have no idea beautiful…” he grinned a toothy grin. Showing off what looked like fangs.

“ I gasped at the sight of them. And just stared.

When he realized…. he looked at me and ran away in a giant blur.

Later that night as I tucked myself into bed my mind reeled again with the words:

“You have no idea, beautiful….” What was he…there's one thing for sure…. He's not human.

I woke up to that cold touch on my cheek again. And this time it felt like a kiss. Not that creepy, slow lingering kiss. But one that says you're mine….

I look up at him sweetly, my mind still foggy from sleep.

“Hi.”

“Good morning” he said with a chuckle. “I didn't mean to wake you.”

“It's ok. I don't mind.”

Chuckling again he said, “ I'm sorry I ran off before. I just didn't know what to say.”

“ You're a vampire.” I said.

“Yes,” he sighed, “ are you ok with that?”

“Yes. You seem like you are a great guy. And I for one know what it's like to be judged before given a chance.”

“ It wasn't my choice to be this. I wanted a much different life than this.” He said sadly. “ My maker was a… s******c woman. One who tricked me and then made me this…” he paused for a moment… “monster.”

“You are not a monster. You've had opportunity enough to harm me and you haven't. That makes you the opposite.”

He looked at me baffled and confused.

“ But I've harmed others.”

“ That is because you don't have much choice. You have to survive.”

He smiled and leaned in. I closed my eyes and leaned towards him. And we kissed. Deep and sensually until we were left breathing ragged.

“Mine…..” he growled softly.

“Yours….” I whispered.

And then he was gone.
