The Vampire Luna

Chapter 4

I make my way back to the bar and say to James, “Hey, I’m heading out for now. Keep up the great work and let me know if there is anything that you need me to do.” He smiled then said, “Everything is still how you left it. I make sure everything remains as smooth as when you were in charge.” I smile and go around the bar to give him a hug before I leave. I begin to make my way towards the exit when the scent of fresh rain in the forest hits me. I freeze feeling my body remember those pesky arms around me. I make a run to the exit and I say to the doorman, “Have a good night, Fred.” He smiles then says, “I hope you have one too, Princess.” I walk out and begin to make my way to my apartment. 

As I’m walking I feel like I am being watched closely. I turn but I see no one, I continue to walk but the sensation continues so I sprinted. I was in front of my door and I remained still waiting to see if my stalker would follow me. I heard no one so I opened my apartment door. I walked in and locked my door as soon as I entered. I looked around but saw nothing out of place so I made my way to my room in complete darkness. I entered the bathroom and began to get undressed. I decided to sleep in my undergarments, in case anyone decided to visit me again. I laid down and waited for sleep to find me but no such luck. I heard every little noise and movement around me but my mind would not sleep. I got up and walked toward the balcony, I opened it but remained inside. I sighed loudly then pulled my phone out and dialed a number. I placed it on my ear and I heard the ringing then a familiar voice said, “Hey, is everything okay? Did you make it home safely?” I say softly, “Yes, can you come here.” I heard the music playing in the background then he said seriously, “Are you sure about this?” I said softly, “I can’t sleep and I need a good distraction.” He sighed then said, “I’ll tell Fred to take over for me then I’ll be there.”  I hung up the line and waited patiently.

After a few minutes I heard a knock on my door. I looked through the peephole and saw James standing there. I opened the door and said, “Hey.” His eyes widened as he saw me only in my undergarments but he said, “Hey.” I moved aside and he entered the apartment. I closed the door and he said, “Are you sure about this, Princess?” I glared at him then said, “You are not allowed to call me that.” He smiled and I walked into his arms as I gave him a hug. He hugged me back then gave me a soft kiss that turned passionate as the seconds passed. We were now in my bed and he was making sure my body did not have time to think of anything but what we were doing.

The next day I woke up to James saying, “Wake up, you’re going to be late for work.” I sat up and stretched before I went to the bathroom to take a shower. When I was out and dressed he had already changed the sheets, put the old ones to wash and had my breakfast ready. I walked up to him and said, “If I had known you were a great wife, I would have married you a long time ago.” He laughed then said, “If it weren’t for your moodiness I think I would have accepted.” I laugh then say, “Thanks for last night, I don’t mean to bother you like this.” He pats my head then says, “As long as I don’t find my mate or someone I truly like, I’m available to be your game.” I look at him sadly hearing his choice of  words and say, “You are very special to me, you are not a game.” He smiles and says, “I know I am. I have known it since we first did this.” I turn and sit down to eat breakfast with him. We joke around as we eat our breakfast and clean the plates. 

We both get ready to go and walk out together. As the elevator door opens I see Derrick and his sister. James and I were laughing and when I saw them I froze and said, “What are you guys doing here?” Jane looks at me and James then says, “OMG! You have a boyfriend!” I look at James who has become very quiet next to me. His eyes are lust filled and I recognize that sign from anywhere. He has found his mate. 

I turn to her and say, “He’s not my boyfriend, he’s a very close friend.” He extends his hand and says, “Hi, my name is James Tassel.” She blushes and takes his hand as she says, “Hi, I’m Jane Kenrick.” I smile seeing these two dorks finally find each other. I shove James in the elevator and say, “Well, let’s get going or we are all going to be late.” Derrick gave us a suspicious look and I ignored him just like his sister and James were doing. Once we were on the first floor James had gotten her contact information and Derrick was glaring daggers at James. I just laughed at him and he said as he got closer to me, “You two are more than friends.” I rolled my eyes but I knew James had heard him. James finally paid attention to him and said, “Wow, I hadn’t noticed there was another guy in here.” He extended his arm and said, “Hi, I’m James.” Derrick took his hand and tried to apply as much force on his grip as he said, “I’m Derrick Kenrick.” He let go and said, “Are you two related?” Jane nodded and said, “Yes, he’s my older brother.” James smiled then said, “I’m also like Alice’s brother.” I smiled then said, “He’s the closest thing to a sibling for me.” James gave me a small hug then said to me, “Well, I have to go. Keep in touch and let me know if you need anything.” I nodded and he said to Jane, “I’ll contact you later.” She blushed and Derrick said, “I’ll keep a close eye on you two.” Jane hit him in the arm and said, “You are such a nuisance.” James left and we made our way to our cars.
