In her sleep she loosened her grip but we were always touching, I had awaked very early trying to come up with an idea of how to handle this whole big mess I gotten myself into. Here I was in bed with the one person in the world that I connected to and possibly love, even though I've known her for only two nights. But how would I to tell her that I was not human. Gwen stirred and started waking, she looked at me sleepily she smiled.
"Good morning, someone's an early bird." She leaned over giving me a soft kiss.
I stroked her skin where my hand rested on her side, "It is a great morning, except now I have to get up and get to work." I had to get back to my place before the sun rose too high, already it was almost dawn. Although I was getting better about my tolerance to it with my age, it still bothered me.
"mmmmmm, that's too bad that the real world has to sneak up on our paradise." Then she got up onto her elbow and looked me in the eyes, "I know you said it was your first time, do you have any regrets?"
Truthfully I was taken aback by her; I had the very best time. "Truly I have none except that I hadn't met you sooner." Leaning into her I kiss up her neck making her shiver in need.
Her voice was just above a whisper, "That is fantastic and you are fantastic, you won't just run out on me now, will you?"
Kissed down to her nipples, "Never, just have to go somewhere else I don't want to be." Licked around and nibbled on one, "But I will definitely want to see you later today."
"Oh yes, I have today off too so we can really get to know each other." She gently placed her hands on my head and brought me up to her lips again. "But until then I think you have a job that you don't want to lose because you were having so much fun with a girl."
Sighing I knew she was right that I had to leave so I lifted myself off the bed and found my clothes on the floor. Each piece I put on I knew that I had to see her again and find a way to tell her that I was a vampire but I could already imagine the panic that would cross her face. Before I left we gave each other our numbers and I promised to call once I got off of 'work'.
During the day I slept and dreamt about all the people I've had both human and vampire. Each type different but no one person stood out, except Gwen. I dreamt that she was layered in Gold bathed in light upon a silken cushion, one finger curling towards me. I woke from that beautiful dream, if I wasn't just about to see her I would have groaned.
It was just before dusk, the sun was still showing a bit but soon it would be too low and then the moon would own the sky. I called the number she had given to me, half hoping that she wouldn't answer because I was still nervous, but on the second ring she picked up.
"Hey, I was just thinking about you." She said in her sweet voice.
Instantly my heart melted just hearing her voice, "I hope all good thoughts."
"Depends what you consider 'good'." She relied with a giggle, and then her voice turned more serious. "So did you want to see me tonight?"
I knew she was questioning if I still wanted to continue our little liaison or if I was having second thoughts. Truthfully I knew she was important to me, possibly the one I have been waiting for all these years. I instantaneously saw a future scene of us, both of us walking down a street in the dark enjoying each other while trying to find our next meal. Then I stopped myself, do I really want her to become like me. Shaking my head, "Of course I want to see you silly. So what are you up to this evening that you have off?"
"Nothing so far but I did get a movie, you know if you wanted to come over and watch it too, I was about to get snuggled into the couch."
"Yeah I'll be over as soon as I get dressed into better clothes." Or any clothes for that matter.
"Great! See you in a bit." She hung up after was had said our goodbyes.
If my heart could race it would have been. I felt like the giddy little girl that I looked like. I put on an outfit I rarely ever wore, a simple long-sleeved shirt and jeans, and walked to her place. My hand was already contacting the door in a knock when I realized suddenly that I hadn't fed yet, but she was already opening the door. She was wearing a cute, valor running suit that was popular these days for a casual setting. Feeling her eyes rake over my body as I was doing the same, I could almost see the energy sparking between us.
She stepped aside and let me in, I quickly noticed that the couch was a large deep one so that there would be plenty of room to spoon if one so desired. "Hey so I hope you like old horror films, I already have it in." She pressed a button and the screen lit up with a black and white version of a vampire flick.
I never really got to think about that much because she was unzipping her top and wasn't wearing anything underneath. She gave me a playful smile, "I always hate wearing clothes around the house, plus I like the feel of the blanket over me. Make yourself at home."
Giving a raised eyebrow and with a shrug I stripped out of my few clothes, and then I snuggled into the couch with the blanket covering my lower half. Busying herself she asked if I wanted any drinks, if only blood to make me warmer, but I told her no thanks.
