Goodbye My Lover pt 20 (The Question)

Darlene

It’s been hours since I left Noel at the shop, and I had time to think about what I admitted to him.

What is going on with me?  We were just together, and it should end. I know it should end. That is what people do but I seem to not want it to end. I want more.

When I got back to my place I decided to go for a run. I need to get my head clear and I haven’t run in a while, I expect to feel pain. Honestly, I want the pain maybe it will clear my head and I can put what I am feeling in perspective.

I changed into my designated running outfit, A pair of shorts and a runner’s tank top. Grabbed my sneakers from underneath my bed put them on did a few stretches and went for my run.

I ran a total of five miles when I ended. My body felt warmed and pushed to  its limit. I did feel a rush of endorphins going through me and I savored it.

I went up to my place to see my phone flashing, I don’t carry my phone on runs because I want to disconnect from it all. I want peace and quiet.

I lifted my phone and I see a message from Noel.

“Hey, are you free tonight? I tried to call you, but it goes straight to voice mail. I would like for us to talk.”

I looked at the message and I think, ‘I want to talk. I would like more clarity on him and whatever we are doing.’ I text back.

“Yeah, I am free tonight. Went for a run that’s why you could not reach me. Come by at seven.”

I hit send and wait for a response. It came back immediately.

“Seven, it is.” Noel said.

I put my phone down and it was only one. My stomach started to let me know that I have not eaten, and the run probably kicked up my appetite a notch.

I went to my fringe and took out a pasta bowl I had and popped it in the microwave. I went to take a shower and made it as hot as I could to relax the muscles on my body.

I closed my eyes, and I can see Noel. The way he looked last night and how he went over the edge with that little bit of blood I gave him. I looked at my thumb and seen the healing red slit. It didn’t hurt. Well, it did before but after he put it in his mouth, it didn’t.

I shook my head and proceeded to get cleaned up.

It was still early after I ate, and the adrenaline rush died down. I went to lay down for a little bit. I was startled awake by knocking and I looked at the time on my phone and it was seven.

I got up looked at the mirror and I looked like I just got up. I needed to wash my face and comb my hair quickly.

“Hold on. I’ll be right there.” I went and washed my face and combed my hair. I even added a bit of lip gloss.

I went to open the door and Noel looked amazing.

“Did you have a good nap?” He asked then smiled.

I was not going to be embarrassed. “Yes, I did.” I said and smiled at him. “Come inside.”

He came in and when he walked by his cologne lingered making me sway towards him, it is so intoxicating. He sat on the couch and looked at me.

I sat near him but with a little distance. Something felt heavy between us.

“Before you say anything. I want to say that I am sorry about the way I acted at the shop. I never hear of the illness and my brain went on panic mode. Also, the statement of you biting me was way out of line.”

Noel sat there looking at with a slight smile.

“No need to apologize. I would like to continue to see you, but you do need to know somethings about me before you agree.”

I sat there and automatically my hands folded awaited to hear what he wanted to say.

“There will be a time that I will want to bite you. I will never do it without your consent, but it will be asked.  Also, I do not like sharing.”

“Sharing?” I gave him a questioning look.

“It will have to be exclusive. Just you and me. I would smell another on you so if you lie. I will know and I am the jealous type.” He said trying to keep is calm exterior under check.

I was taking this in. He wants to be with me exclusively.

“Along with the occasional bite. I do like other more nontraditional sexual activity.”

“What do you mean?”

“Whatever you are thinking is probably what I mean. My appetite has evolved, and I do not want to hide that part of myself with my–”

“Your?” I pushed.

“Partenair–Partner. So, I am asking you to think about what I am asking you.”

I sat there and thought, ‘Did he ask me to be his girlfriend? Was that the moment? I have to get it together.’

“Noel you have not asked me anything. You just made a statement. Was that French?” I asked him falling into a role of a woman who is in complete control.

This was the first time I actually seem him a bit uneasy. Was he nervous that I would turn him down.

“Your right. Darlene I would like to see you exclusively. Would you want that?” He sat there waiting for a response.

I sat there a minute to think it over. It would change how people view me. I really don’t care. I moved here and the only thing that I have going for me is my friends. If I can still call them that.  I took a deep breath and said,” I would like that.”

“Good because I want to kiss you the minute, I came in.” He said before he pressed his lips against mine. The space between us was eliminated. The kiss was cementing the agreement, but I wanted more.

I pulled away first seeing that he had no intention of stopping by the way he was kissing my neck.

“Noel?” I said a breathy

He stopped and looked up at me. “Have you changed your mind?”

“No, it’s just.” I want to tell him that I have only had sex one way. That I would be a disappointment if we did something tonight.

“Darlene I will not ask anything from you tonight.” He said smiling then licking his bottom lip.

“But I should go.”

‘Wait, what just happened?’ I thought.

“I need to do somethings tonight. I would like to see you tomorrow.” He said waiting and his eyes drifted to my mouth.

“What time?”

“Around five. I want you to come to my home.”

My heart was already beating fast but now I could not time it.

I smiled and nodded my consent. He stood up and pulled me up with him.

I walked him to the door, and he turned to kiss me again. This time slower more controlled. Like a pot on a stove simmering. He pulled away and whispered, “Bring an overnight bag. I’ll get you to work on time.”

He stepped away and walked out the door. I was in a relationship with a nighter. Not just any nighter either, Noel.

 

 

Goodbye My Lover pt 18 The Visit!

Noel

I slept comfortably in the back of the coffee shop. I will go home tonight to actual get some real rest. It is about that time that I need to return home.

I walked out to the front of shop, and I see Darlene sitting at one of the tables with a coffee, her right leg tapping and watching the sun go down.

“What’s going on Sammy?”

“Not sure. she came in looking like she was on the verge of panic.”

“Well giving her coffee is not a good idea.” I whispered.

“That is not coffee. That is the calming tea that I make. You should be thanking me. She really is not acting like herself. She’s waiting to speak to you.”

I looked around to see where my cup was.

“Here. I went to the club and got it myself. It’s fresh.” Sammy handed it to me and went to the customer that was waiting at the register.

I took the cup and took a swallow of it. Already I feel awake. I walked over to her and when she seen me, she took a drink of her tea.

“Hi, I didn’t expect to see you until tomorrow.”

She gave me a slight smile and her eyes darted around making sure she was not overheard.

“What is it Darlene?”

She licked her lips and whispered, “I wanted to talk to you about last night.”

I sat across from her so she did not have to look up.

“Okay. Do you regret what happened between us?”

she shook her head no and took another sip.

“We should have talked about things a little more before we proceeded though.”

She was making what we did sound like a business exchange.

“Darlene what is wrong?”

She whispered her question when I took another sip of my drink.

“Do you have Vamp BI?”

I swallowed so hard I thought the whole room heard it.

“What?”

“You heard me. Please do not ask me to repeat it.”

I stood up, took her hand and walked her to the back. Once there I realized that the pull-out bed was a mess. she looked at it and then straight at me.

“Noel we were just—” She stammered.

“Darlene, I did not bring you back here to ravish you. What made you think I have Vamp BI?”

I was at the gym and these two ladies were talking about it and how they had to put the brakes on being with a nighter because of it.

I stood there not believing what I heard but she looked very concerned.

“I do not have Vamp BI. That only occurs in 1 in a thousand. It is spread from a bite that is taken in a place that –”

“A place that what? Where would you have to bite?”

She looked very worried.

“A bite on the neither region when it is thoroughly aroused.”

“You mean during an orgasm after oral.”

I nodded hoping she would understand.

“And you have been tested? You do not have it.”

“No, I have not been tested. I have not been with anyone that I would bite.”

“So, you don’t know for sure?”

“Darlene why are you acting this way?”

“I gave you my blood last night.”

“Yes, you did. I did not bite you. it’s transmitted that way.”

She turned around and her heartbeat started to slow down.

“Would you get tested?”

“Why?”

“I want you to–bite me eventually.”

I stood there looking at her back and my cock awakened to the word “Bite”

She turned around to face me and I knew she was serious.

Darlene if we go to that step you will have to be sure. There are things I will want to do that you may not be ready for.

“Like?”

(the front of the shop)

Sammy

They walked in and I could feel the maliciousness off them.

“Hello, is Noel here?”

“He’s in the back of the shop. He’s a bit buisy at the moment.”

The woman turned and looked around and the other, a man wearing a leather jack staired at one of the customers in the back. He was staring at his laptop and did not realize he had just been marked.

“Who should I say is asking for him?”

“Tell him Eliza and Peter are here to visit.”

They went to the table off to the side, behind the guy on the laptop. I went to the back, and I hated to do it since it looked like Noel was moving in for a kiss.

“Sorry about this. But Eliza and Peter are out in the front asking for you.”

Noel looked at me then at Darlene.

“Sammy take her out the back. I’ll explain tonight I promise to call you to continue this conversation.”

I walked towards her and aimed her to the back. She did not like it and I wouldn’t either but those two out there are bad news.

“Listen Darlene he is not brushing you off. He likes you but I think he does not trust those two that just came in.”

“Okay.” She said looking back. “Call me if you need help.”

I smiled at her and nodded. What would she be able to do?

(What do you think is going to happen? Wouldn’t you want him to ravish you? Let me know your thoughts. Until next time. Fia xoxo)

 

It’s Me Fia. With Updates of What’s Going On

Good day to you all. I have been debating whether to post this picture of myself here or not. But if you follow me on Instagram, you have already seen it.

I wanted to give you all an update on what I am up to and why I had taken down the other short stories.

Let’s start with this. I will be publishing a book shortly and I will do the cover reveal soon. It is an adult romance with explicit sexual scenes. It has four different points of view and is an easy read.

After I publish that I will do a series of Novellas. I tend to write short stories here and not get into too much description. In this Novella, I will be descriptive enough that it is not nauseating.

I have also decided to that when I create my newsletters that I will be setting out call for beta readers. You will be the first to see what I am working on, and it will be in the genre that you prefer.

I will not change the things that I write because that is what I like to read.

Finally, My Goodbye My lover vampire romance is going to start to venture into a dark space. I wanted everyone to see the two main characters in a way that is relatable and funny. It already has steamy scenes, but it will go darker in a sexual nature. I do not write rape scenes.  No worries there but if you are preferable a vanilla person, I will let you know when the sex starts to change in color.

That is all the updates so far. I am pretty sure there will be more. Until next we meet. Keep the Fires Burning. Fia xoxo

Goodbye My Lover pt 17 (Vamp B.I. What?)

Darlene

“Mm I moaned softly as my body came to life as I was in a deep dream. I knew it a dream was because Noel left, and I walked him out of my place.

No this was a dream replaying what we shared last night. I watched his lips wrap around my thumb and suck.

I woke up the minute his lips sealed and started to torture me. My clit ached and wanted attention. My hands slid down my body and went to its target. My legs spread giving me more access and I went and took care of my needs with Noel on my mind.

Noel

The coffee shop was not up in flames. I thought as I walked in and heard Sammy yell at Fritz. There was a reason why she liked working by herself.

“Are you kidding me? What made you think putting this dry-as-hell cloth next to the conventional oven was a good idea?”

I looked at her chastising the poor man and smiled. I chose Fritz because he has a thing for Sammy, and he can tolerate her bull.

“Hey your back.” Fritz said glancing away from the finger in his face.

“Yea you both can go. Thanks for covering for me.”

Sammy turned and looked at me long and hard.

“You look spent. Why don’t I call in my day reinforcement so we all can get some rest.”

“Oh so you want me to come back.”

That did it. Sammy looked at Fritz and was about to go to his throat and tear it out.

“No Fritz, I will call you when we need coverage again. Thanks, the money is in your account for tonight’s work.” I told him.

He took it as a cue to leave, but he did something that I did not expect. As he walked past Sammy, he quickly kissed her and left.

I watched to see how she was going to react. There were several emotions going through her by the look of her eyes darting around to process. Once I heard him leave, I went over to her to see if she was alright.

“Sammy are you okay?”

“It has been a long, difficult and confusing night. I’m fine, you should get some rest.”

“I don’t need a lot of rest, you know this.”

She turned and looked at me. Then a smile appeared on her face.

“You had a nice date then?”

“Better than nice.” I said walking to the back to my place. I heard when she followed me.”

“I am not your mother, but I am a friend, so me telling you that it is not a good idea to feed from her should not have to be said.”

I went to my sofa and smiled at her. She cared for me and I for her so I know it was a genuine place that her warning was coming from.

“I did not bite her.”

“But you did taste her?”

“She cut herself without persuasion.”

“I see. Did it enhance things.”

“I am not going to talk about my sex life with you.” I said smiling at her and closed my eyes. “Aren’t you going to call you day person to cover you?”

“I thought you did not need that much rest?” She said jokingly then left.

The night kept replaying in my mind. She tasted so sweet.  The memory caused several things to happen at once. My fangs descended, I became extremely hard, and I proceeded to do what I have not done since I was young. I processed to stroke myself to get a little relief.

Darlene

The sun was up when I got out of bed. I did not have to work today so I decided to go to the gym.

There was a gym down the street that I had a membership to and I had a lot of energy this morning.  I looked at my thumb and it was healed from where I punctured it from the bed.

The smile on my face from last night was not going away. He held back from biting me and I knew he wanted to. Honestly in the throw of it I wanted him to.

I walk to the bathroom and look at my neck to imagine how it would have been like. Would it have hurt, burn or no pain at all? I have heard of nighters and lighties in relationships, but they would never talk about the sexual aspect of the relationship.

“Darlene it was just a date. Not a relationship.” I said to my image. I turned on the shower and proceeded to take care of things.

The gym was packed. I wore my oversized t-shirt and spandex legging. I went to the elliptical first to get my heart rate up.

Once on and I developed a rhythm that I wanted I heard two women behind me on the stair climber having a conversation about the date one of them had.

“Yea, Gloria you should not go out with a nighter. Last night he could not keep his hands to himself, and I wanted him but once he said he wanted to taste my blood and where he wanted to go. I put on the breaks and sent him home.”

“Why?”

“You haven’t heard that the nighter has their own form of std? Its called Vamp BI. The BI stands for Bite then Infection. It does not last long in us but the pussy rash that comes after the bite is disgusting.”

“No, I haven’t heard. Is there a test for that?”

“There is one but a lot of them swear they don’t have it, so they don’t get it.”

“Typical. thanks for warning me. I have a date with Jose tonight. I will put the brakes on if he wants to bite without proof, he’s clean.”

I slowed down my pace. I would have let him bite me without knowing if he was clean. I decided I had enough of the gym and went home to do some research. What they could be saying it could be false.

(Are you hooked? I am. Let me know if you like Noel and Darlene all comments welcomed.  Until next we meet. Fia xoxox)

Goodbye My lover chpt 15 A movie, a wall, a bed Oh my. Adult content

Why kissing is more important than sex for couples | South China Morning  Post

I do not own image.

Noel

 

Sammy’s giving me advice was sweet, but I think she also did it because she noticed that I was out of my room in the back more today.

I could not go to sleep and get the rest that my body needed to stay up. Being a natural-born nighter I needed only a few hours, and I could not even get those due to thoughts of Darlene.

When she first came in the shop I saw how playful and cocky she could be. Then when she came in and showed her vulnerable side, I thought she was not the same as the other Lighties. She allowed me to comfort her, and she came close to me without coaxing.

Darlene had so much to her that I would not be a man at all if I did not feel drawn to her. 

I came out of the shower and started to tame my hair with the natural concoction I was taught to make by my mother before she passed away.

She was a woman who had many hidden talents as well. No one understood why father did not turn her and instead gave her a gift to bear his child.

It was forbidden but my father would not cower down to anyone and became the ruler of the territory.

I massaged the sweet earthy mixture in my palms and proceeded to glide it through my hair. This was the only thing that kept my hair in place. After I looked at my jaw and saw a light shadow and decided to shave.

Once I felt that bathroom edict was accomplished. I decided to take Sammy’s advice and picked out a white shirt, blue jeans, and a jacket that gave a hint of comfort and class at the same time. My shoes were black soft leather.

The cologne Sammy was talking about was not a cologne, but an oil extracted from an exotic plant. My dad taught me how to make that when I was coming of age.

I smiled at the conversation.

“Noel you are going to feel the need to entice a woman to take care of both your needs. The best way is to behave like the prince of the territory you are a put this on.”

“What is it, father?” 

He smiled and his eyes glowed. “Son, we can entrance them to do our bidding but it’s much better when they are drawn to you naturally. The taste of their blood is heady and when they willingly give their body. Well, son let’s just say I never had to entrance my lovers.”

After that, he taught me how to cultivate it and keep it without it turning.

I dabbed a bit on my neck and wrist. Too much and Sammy will come after me.

I looked at myself once more and I needed to see myself true to life. So I stepped out and entered Sammy’s mind to see through her eyes.

She turned and I was satisfied. Looking in the mirror gives me a hazy view of myself. I have a reflection but it’s not clear.

I left her mind and returned to mine,

“Noel you look really nice, and I felt what you did.”

“Of course, what is the sense of having a witch on the premises if you couldn’t? I said only loud enough that she could hear.”

Sammy shook her head and said, “Have a good time.”

“I plan to.”

 

Darlene

 

I made it home in time to get my head in the right space for this date. Colt and Penny with their suggestion had me second-guessing myself.

I went to my bathroom turned on the faucet and decided I was going to take a bath. I poured the fragrance oil that I brought from home with me in the steaming bath.

The scent calmed me, and I was able to think again.

I went to my closet and looked at all the clothes I had purchased and had not worn yet. I know I have a problem with spending. Being a child from a large family I liked having things for myself that were brand new. So with every paycheck, I would purchase something that would make me happy.

My eyes landed on a blue dress that I bought over a year ago.

“This looks right.”

I took it into the bathroom with me and hung it behind the door, The steam would get the wrinkles out.

I went to my little kitchen poured myself a glass of white wine and went to the task of putting myself together.

 

I was ready with ten minutes to spare. I decided to wear my classic pumps that gave me a bit of a lift without killing my feet.

I did take Penny’s advice with the makeup emphasing my lips but I liked my eyes, so I did a subtle cat with soft grey liner.

My buzzer for the front door went off and my pulse began to speed up. I looked one last time and went to answer the door.

 

I pulled the door open, and I froze. Noel looked amazing.

“Hi.” He said with a smile. 

It snapped me out of my slight trance.

“Hi, I’m sorry please come in.”

Once he entered my place seemed to shrink on itself.

“You have a nice place,” Noel said as he looked around.

“Thanks. I did not see the need for a big place since it’s just me.” Why did I just tell him that?

“I was told that I am not supposed to bring you flowers. That it’s outdated.”

“I don’t think it’s outdated, but that is fine.” I got my purse and a light sweater and was ready to go.

When I turned, I had a single white tulip before me.

“Thank you, Noel.”

“You welcome, Darlene.”

I took the tulip and placed it in the flute vase I had in the cabinet. I added water and placed it on my counter.

“Are you ready to go?” I asked trying to sound brave even though my nerves were fried.

“Yes, what are we going to see.”

“Okay don’t hate me but the only thing I was able to get tickets to was Fangs Forever.”

He stopped and stared in disbelief.

“If you want we can go for a walk instead.”

“No. We will go to the movies.”

 

Noel

 

When she opened the door, a scent cascaded around me. It was very inviting. We stayed for a bit, and I was glad that I bought the tulip. One for me ‘that Sammy’

The theater was not far but she ordered us a car to take there.

We arrived there seeing a line to go in.

“Are they lined up to see this movie?”

“I did get four stars and it’s Friday night.”

“So, it’s Friday?”

“Date night.”

Now I felt really out of touch. We went inside and I offered to get her popcorn. She smiled and turned it down for a Mountain Dew soda.

We went to our seats that were way in the back a waited for the movie to start.

“If it’s terrible we’ll leave.”

“No, we won’t. I want to see why all these people are drawn to it.” I said leaning into whisper and the scent that was in her place was coated on her skin. I felt my gums start to itch from wanting to lengthen.

 I sat back and breathed through my mouth. I was happy when it dimmed, and the movie started.

 

The movie was not as bad as I thought it would be but it was not good either. Halfway through when the vampire leaned in to bite the heroin on the throat I had seen when Darlene’s hand grabbed at her dress.

Did she want this or was she scared I would do that to her?

The movie continued and at the end the vampire was staked in the heart and the heroine was left to pick up the pieces of her broken heart.

I turned to Darlene and saw the tears she wiped from her eyes. This really moved her.

“Do you want to get something to eat?” I asked.

She moved in close and whispered. “Can you do that?”

There that scent was again, and I wanted to taste the skin it was on.

“It’s okay,” I said and reached for her hand.

She did not pull away and her breathing increased a little.

 

We went to a restaurant and talked throughout the meal about the movie. She was so animated, and I loved how she talked with so much emotion. When the check came, I decided that I was drawing the line, and I was going to pay for the meal and not hide away to do it.

“I have the check,” I told her.

“Alright.”

“Wait, what no argument on who is paying.”

“I paid for the movies, and you offered dinner. So, you pay for the meal.”

Darlene knew she had me with the logic and I laughed a little too hard when the waitress came and saw my fangs,

“You a nighter. You’re not allowed in here.”

“Why is that?” Darlene asked in a voice I never heard before.

“They are dangerous. You should not be with him. Let me call the police. He could be trancing you right now.”

“No, he is not. Take the money. We are leaving and I will be letting others know about how this establishment treats paying customers.”

“Miss he is a Nighter.”

“And you are prejudiced. We were here for over an hour, and everyone survived. Think about that.”

Darlene rose from her chair and walked out of the restaurant with me not saying a word.

 

“I am sorry for that Noel. If I had known, I would have suggested someplace else.”

“Darlene. stop walking.”

She turned to me in confusion and I kissed her right then and there. She tasted of wine and sweet strawberries. I stopped the kiss remembering where we were.

“Thank you,” I whispered. She touched her lips and I immediately regretted letting it go.

 

Darlene

 

We walked back to my place holding hands and my thoughts went to the kiss he gave me not to long ago.

We were in the hallway in front of my door.

“I had a good time, Darlene. I would like to see more of you.”

I did not hear what he said but watched his mouth as it moved.

“Darlene are you alright?” He asked.

Instead of answering I did the one thing I said I would never do.  I reached up and kissed Noel. It was not a soft kiss, this kiss was a statement of what I intended.

Noel did not pull back. He instead pushed me against the wall next to my door and deepened the kiss.

His tongue plunged and took control. I refused to relent, and I made my own demands with my tongue seeking his fangs.

He pulled back breathing heavily.

“Are you sure?” He said breathing heavily.

I looked down seeing that our bodies were pressed so tightly together, I moved my hips to grind on his length pressing between us.

“Yes,” I whispered and all control he had was gone.

We made it inside and I had no idea how we ended up on my couch.

“Darlene, I will not bite you.”

“Why?”

“Do you want that?”

“I want you.”

He deepened the kiss, and all sane thoughts escaped my mind.

Noel

I am entranced by this woman. Her skin is soft and hot. Her mouth demanded my attention and her hands on my back trying to pull into her,

“Darlene, I will not bite you.”

“Why?” She asked.

“Do you want that?”

:” I want you.”

My resolve was shattered. I will not bite her tonight but will enjoy her body.

I walked the both of us to the couch and laid her down it. I positioned myself between her legs while I continued my battle with her unrelenting tongue. I broke the kiss and trailed kisses down her cheek to her neck. Her pulse tempted me to take a sip. Instead, I continued to trail kiss down to her breast that were tempting me with its own beat.

I pulled a breast free and took the peeked nipple into my mouth rolling it like fine chocolate.

I felt her hand in my hair losing it from its tie.

Once loose her finger massaged and encouraged my attention to keep at her nipple. I heard ripping and looked up and realized I had torn the other side of the dress exposing the other nipple.

“I don’t care about the dress.” She said through slightly pouty lips.

I went after the other nipple and rolled the nipple I left between my fingers squeezing slightly for her to feel a touch of pain.

I felt her body shuddering from the feeling. I stopped and continued to move lower. Lifter her legs on my shoulders exposing how wet she was for me.

“Darlene try your best to stay still.”

“Why?”

“I may nick you there.”

She bit her lower lip, and I went in and licked her through her plush-colored thong without breaking eye contact.

Her taste would easily be addicting. I pulled the thong to the side and sealed my mouth to expose the pink nub. I did not want to break the fabric inhaling her sweet juices.

I rolled her clit with the tip of my tongue and the moan she let out was more than encouragement.

I continued the circular pattern changing once in a while to a side-to-side motion and when she started to grind against me, I took the opportunity to enter my middle finger into her tight channel.

She cried out, she was tight, but she was not innocent. I will need to work her a bit to take me.

Moving my finger back and forth as my tongue continue it torture. I can hear the rush of blood in her veins. I fought to keep my fangs back.

Her grinding increased and I pushed another finger in causing her to go over the edge and scream out.

Tapped up the puddle of clear fluid running down my fingers.

 I sat back and pulled out of her as she whimpered her reluctance.

“Where’s your bed?”

“She pointed to a room off the side. I stood up took off my shirt and lifted her up.”

I laid her down and ripped the rest of the dress off her.

Her breast was up and pink tipped from me and her sex lower lips were hidden from my sight by that damn thong.

 

Darlene

 

What am I doing? I haven’t been with a man in such a long time and he smelled so good and I just refused to hold back.

Noel was making me feel things with his hands and mouth that other men couldn’t get me to. They usually just wanted to know if I was wet so they could stick it in and call it a day.

When he went down and took me in his mouth and i watched. I wanted to cum right then and there.

Then he entered me with his finger. Was it me or did his finger become bigger because I felt him everywhere? I tried my best not to clamp my legs together from the overload of sensation. I was squeezing my cushion so much I thought I put a hole in one.

The second I felt his other finger. I went over like a dame had broken. I felt when liquid flowed out from cumming so hard.

 

“Where’s your bed?” He asked and I managed to point to it.

 He took his shirt off and he looked like he should not be with me but with a woman made me weep at the sight of them.

He lifted me up and carried me to my bed and tore the rest of the dress off me.

He stood there looking at me and stared at my weak and pulsating pussy. I pulled off my thong and his eyes changed.

“Darlene are you on something?”

“No. Does it matter being that you are a nighter.”

He looked at me with dark eyes rimmed with purple.

“I’m half-blood remember. I can get you with child.”

Shit the way he said it like that was a turn-on. I reached to my nightstand and tossed him a condom.

“Not sure it will fit but it’s all I got.”

He nodded bent down and started to lick the inside of my thigh where I knew I left a trail.

He positioned himself at my entrance once we were face to face and I felt when he pushed the tip of him in.

“You put that on fast.”

He did not respond instead her kissed me and pushed in not giving me time to think.

‘Ohhhhh.” I breath out into his mouth because words did not come to me.

Slowly he pulled out and pushed in. Gripped my hip angling me where he wanted and increased the speed.

Our bodies glided against each out, nipples tapping and breathing in sync.

“Darlene will you be able to handle me?”

“Yes,” I breathed out and his speed increased. I came within seconds, but he did not stop.

Our bodies collided as a sledgehammer on a wet stone. Beating against it Mecilously on till one of them broke.

I looked at him and he looked pained.

“Do you need to bite?”

“I will not bite you.”

He was close but he needed blood. I can see it. At the edge of my bed, there was a piece of sharp steel I meant to get fixed. I took my thumb and went across it is slicing it.

I took it and shoved my thumb in his mouth, and he sucked so hard I felt it in my clit. His movement became a bit more determined increasing my desire to release again.

Noel let go of my thumb and came hard. I felt thrust hit my cervix and I knew I was going to be sore, but my body had its own malicious humor. I came so hard I saw black and passed out.

Goodbye My Lover pt 14 (Unwanted Advice)

Noel

“Hey Sammy, I have Fritz coming in and covering for a few hours.”

She stopped wiping the counter and gave me this look. Today Sammy seems to be channeling her badass with her short hair sleeked back and black-lined eye’s.

“Why would he be doing that?’ Questioning me with her arms folded waiting for my answer.

“I am going to see a movie.”

“A movie?”

“Yes, it’s not that unusual. I am going to see a movie.” I said turning my back to her acting normal.

“It’s not unheard of but you have not done it in a while.”

“Well, I guess the drought has ended, Sammy. I was invited. So I thought, why not? Let’s go to the movies.”

“You were invited by who?”

I looked at her and said, “you know who by.”

“I just want to hear you say it.”

“By Darlene.”

“Darkling asked you out. Very interesting.”

“Sammy, can you just wipe the counter and stop bugging me?”

“Oh, I’m bugging you now? Let me tell you a little something. You are going out with a human. A regular old natural human and you are a natural born nighter.  There’s a few things you should know. ”

“Sammy. I am older than you. I may look like I’m just a few years older, but I have been around the block.”

“Yeah, that block has been turned to sand and rebuilt twice.”

Ouch she was hitting below the belt.

“You have been behind this shop for God knows how long and I have not seen you going out with someone if at all. If you do go out, you go out to the club to get your fix. And then you come back.

“My fix.?”

“You know what I mean? I’m not getting stuck on the technicalities, you know, what you go to the club for? Okay. ”

I turned around smiling at her because she was really excited for me.

“Now back about this date.”

“It’s a movie Sammy. ”

“It’s a date, boss. Humans. They’re not like how they used to be. You do not have to go and get her flowers. Because I know you were thinking about that.”

“Isn’t that the right thing to do to get someone flowers when you’re going out with them?”

“See what I’m saying? You were going to get her flowers. Do not get her flowers. You go to her door. dress nice, but casual. Don’t get too dressed up. Spray that cologne that drives all these little girls here. Insane.  Pull your hair back in a ponytail. You look really nice when you’re really neat.”

“Okay, Sammy, you make me sound like I’m two years old.”

“I’m not. I’m just trying to give you pointers.”

I’m not supposed to give her anything. There you go. You will but that is later. Now, when you go on to date, she’s going to want to do 50/50.”

“50/50 What?”

“She’s going to want to pay half, so you have to pay half.”

“No, that’s not how it will go.’ I said but she kept speaking like she did not hear me.

“She’s going to want to pay.  Let it go and you try to fight against your nature and let her pay half.” I will humor her since she feels the need to tell me all this but I have my own plans for tonight.

” Now, when it comes to eating.”

“We are just going to the movies.”

“She’s gonna get hungry. Take her to a nice restaurant. Let her eat and after she paid her part. You go and tell her that you’re going to use the bathroom.  When she thinks, you are going to use the bathroom, you go to the maître d and you tell them, reverse the charge and you’re paying for the meal.

“That’s deceiving Sammy.”

“No that’s being chivalrous under cover.”

“What am I going to do with you?”

Darlene

“You seem very cheerful today what’s going on with you?” Penny asked.

“Nothing. Just have good ideas and ready to get this thing on the road. We are all in sync.” I said a bit to enthusiastically.

“Now. Something else is going on. Spill.”

“I don’t have to spill anything. What’s going on with you two? What are you guys doing?”

“Well, I’m going over to my mom’s because she’s been sick for a bit.

Colt said,” I’m going to go out with a couple of buddies.” something must be up with them because Colt does not go out with buddies. That is the most masculine I have ever heard him.

“That’s nice.”

” What are you gonna do? ” Penny asked again.

“Why is it so important about what am I doing?”

“Okay, you’re deflecting this question way too much. What are you doing?” Now that sounded like Colt.

“I’m going on a date.”

“A date.” That’s when Penny stared at colt.

“I’m going on a date. It’s not a big deal.”

“Where are you going?” Colt asked.

“We’re going to the movies.”

“The movies typical. How old are you? ”

” The movies is not first date material. You should go get something to eat, and maybe go to a club. Not the club that we went to, but a nice club and listen to some music.” Colt suggested.

” You guys can talk and get to know each other. Yeah, that sounds better than the movies.” Penny added.

“But I invited him to the movie. We’re going to the movies. ” I stood my ground.

“You invited him? Who is this woman sitting across from us?” Colt asked.

“I don’t know. Ever since the meeting it seems that Miss Darlene is showing who she truly is.” Penny said

“You know what? I just want to have fun and this is one of those times that I’m taking the initiative and I’m not waiting for someone to ask me out. I decided to asked him out.”

“Okay, that’s fine. What are you going to see? I don’t know what is out right now.”

” I’m on it.” Colt turned around and type on the computer to see what movies are out there in the theater.

” What are you wearing?”

I hadn’t thought about my outfit. I just wanted to go with the flow of things but now these two are making me nervous.

“Wear a dress.”

“Okay, mother.”

“Stop it. I’m being a friend. wear a dress. You look really nice in dresses. Why don’t you put your hair half up, half down too.”

“Okay, this is not America’s Next Top Model.”

“No, it’s not but I’m giving you advice. Your hair has beautiful waves. Put it half up, half down. Puta nice, pink, almost red lip gloss on and with your eyes just mascara because you want his focus on your mouth.”

Colt turned around. “Okay, there is no good movies out there. There is this horror movie out and I see it has six rotten tomatoes.

They continued the rest of the day in this manner until it was quitting time, and she was ready to go home.

“Have a good date.” they both said as they walked the opposite direction.

“Are you ready for chapter fifteen? If not get ready. the story has been semi-innocent, but things will be changing. Fia”

 

Goodbye my Lover pt 13

continuation

“Why are you still standing there?” I looked over my shoulder looking at Sammy.

“What do you mean?”

“You seem to be frozen where you stand, and we have people’s hands going up for coffee or tea or some kind of beverage.”

I just shook my head to clear it from my thoughts.

“You’re right, I’m sorry. I’m on it.” I went straight to getting their orders, serving them their coffee, and having little polite conversations. A lot of the nighters were smiling, big smiles and their eyes were glowing.

I know that was a sign that they were a little bit too interested in me, but I just took it casually knowing I was in a safe place.  Noel will not let any of them attack me. I kept on going and I offered some of the lighters, some coffee or some tea, or any of the other items that were selling. It went perfectly well.

It was only one night, and I had the best time. When the last lightie left with a nighter. I just looked at Noel and whispered to him, “Is that okay?”

He looked at me and said,” As long as it’s consensual. We have nothing to do with that. They had a good time. They paid for their services, and it looked like you had a good time as well.”

I smiled and put down the cloth.

“I did have a good time.”

Noel gave me this look. ” Where have you waitressed before?”

” What gave it away?”

” The way you were interacting and serving everybody their coffee or their tea without making mistake. And without dropping anything gives me the idea that you used to be a waitress.”

“I was a server, not at a restaurant though. I served at home because I had a lot of siblings and I had to serve them. So yes, I was a waitress in in a sense.”

Sammy and Noel started laughing.

“Okay, so the experience you got was because you had to serve your siblings. ”

I looked at them both like ‘Don’t laugh’.

“It was a lot of us. My parents did not believe in reproduction control. So yes, there was quite a few of us.”

The laughter continued. I have never seen two people enjoy the fact that I came from a large family as much as they did.

“How many are we talking about?”

I looked at my feet hiding my cheeks when I said ten.

They both stopped laughing and just looked at me in amazement.

Sammy took off her apron and put it down. Snapping out of her trance.

“I will be here early in the morning, and I guess I’ll see you when the sun starts to go down.”

“Yes, you will Sammy. Have a good night.”

Sammy walked past Noel and whispered, “Do not with her, too Fertal.”

“Bye your darkness you did okay tonight.”

“Good night, Sammy.”

She waved and left. I went to the back of the counter to retrieve my bag and was about to say good night to Noel.

When I stood up Noel was right there. Right behind me.

” Is there something wrong? ”

“No. I just wanted to thank you for helping us out tonight. It would have been a bit much for me and Sammy to handle on our own.  Normally when it’s that kind of a crowd, I would have to hire an extra hand.  I just appreciate it. So here.” He handed me an envelope.

I opened it wondering what was inside and then when I saw the amount of money, I closed it quickly and handed it back.

“Noel, you did not have to pay me for this. I really enjoyed helping you guys out. Free of charge. It’s not a problem.” I told him.

Noel face hardened. ” I don’t run my business like that, and I don’t owe anybody.  You did help us out and I do appreciate it. But I will pay for you working tonight. If it’s too much. Then take out of it what you think is appropriate that you earned and then just hand me the rest back. But I will pay you for working at the coffee shop tonight.” He was serious.

I sighed and looked in the envelope and I took out $100 Because honestly, I didn’t need the money. But I do understand that I was rubbing him the wrong way. It was way too much money he had in the envelope, and I was not raised to take advantage of people that way. I took out the $100 handed him the rest of the money in an envelope. And I said, ” Thank you so much for the money and now I’ll leave.”

As I tried to move, he stood in my way again. “Is there something else wrong?”

“No. Well, I wanted to do something.”

He stood there looked around and then looked back at me but this time it wasn’t his usual look. His eyes weren’t glowing either.  I wasn’t really afraid that he was hungry. But the tension that was starting to pick up in the air was a bit uncomfortable.

“Noel. He leaned in and brushed a soft kiss across my cheek then another near my ear causes me to shiver.  Then he backed away. “Thank you.”

I just touched my cheek and looked at him.  “Was this what you give to other people that you hire?

” No, it’s not what I give other people that are hire but I wanted to thank you properly and I would be lying if I didn’t say I was a bit attracted to you.  I will never go any further unless I’m invited. So, thank you for helping for tonight. And I hope to see you tomorrow.”

I walked past him and around the counter. I was about to leave when I turned around and thought why not.

Noel, do you ever go out other than the club from this place?”

“How do you know I go to the club?”

“I was assuming.”

He gave me this look that was unreadable.

” What do you have in mind? “He asked.

“Well, there is a new movie out and I don’t like going to the movies by myself. So, I was wondering if maybe tomorrow or the next night. If you’re available, we can go and just enjoy a movie and then you can come back and work at least.  If that’s the only amount of time that you have to be away from your shop.

He looked at me and there was something that went across his eyes. And normally I’m a very good reader of people’s faces and what they do and what they mean. I just could not figure out what he was thinking.

“Darlene I would love to go out with you to the movies. Not tomorrow because it’s too short to pop up on Sammy. And it’s too short of notice for me to get her help.  It will have to be the night after. ”

“Okay, great. So, we’ll go to the movies. And I’ll see you then.”

“Are you not coming in tomorrow for your coffee.?”

“Oh, I’ll definitely be in for my coffee.  Tell Sammy that darkling is going to be here bright and early for her mix of elixir.”

He laughed so hard. I couldn’t help but smile.

“Have a good night, darling.”

I looked at him. I asked, “Darling?

He’s said, “Darlene.”

“Okay, you and Sammy love to play with my name. But I could have sworn you said darling. Have a good night. No.”

Then walked out.

Noel

I cannot believe how well she did tonight night. She served seven tables. Made no mistake, remembered everybody’s name and did not need to write anything down. She was like a superb waitress.

Sammy even gave me a nod to tell me that she approved of Darlene with the people. If she didn’t work somewhere. I would have hired her right away. But then again, if I would have hired her then I can’t date her.

It has to be one or the other. And right now, I’m not dating her and I’m not hiring her so I’m stuck. The night ended perfectly, and Sammy made her exit.  I took my opportunity to thank Darlene the way I thought I wanted to thank her.

I wanted it to be innocent and chaste, that I even surprised myself by kissing her a second time near her ear where I felt her pulse beat on my lips.

We are adults. Grown men would kiss a grown woman on the mouth but I’m a nighter and she’s a lighties. And if I take these things too fast– I can definitely end up ashes, so to speak.

She asked me out on a date, huh? That surprised me. Movies.

They’re dark in the movies. And we’ll be walking back at night. Hmm. Things can happen during that night. But yet, I’m going to take it slower with her.

The night when she came in here, crying because her friends thought of her being a certain way is not something I want to repeat. I want her to be relaxed around me. I want her to trust me. And I do not ever want her to shed one tear because of me.

Slow and steady is the way we’re going to go.

Now, Eliza and Peter, what am I going to do about them? This community center is not a good idea. I’ve been doing some research. The way they want to build this community center is the center of the lighties’s territory.

If that center is built there will be a lot of deaths and they will have no protection because once a nighter crosses inside the lighties’s territory, you’re giving them the okay to do with ever they want with whomever they want.  I refuse for them to use these people as feeding bags without consent. ‘Eliza, I remember when I used to follow you. I remember when I was ready to make you, my world. And I also remembered when you left me.’

That night when she left. She gave me this look as if I meant nothing. No, I refuse to go backwards. And I refuse for her to do what she’s planning to do. Now, I just have to find out who’s behind this construction and how I will have to stop it.

Why is it always good with bad? Why can’t the good just stay good? Whatever. One night at a time.

“Now I gave you two parts in one day. Let me hear your thoughts. All comments appreciated. Fia”

Goodbye My Lover part 12.5 (Book Lovers Unite)

 It was raining all day and all day long I watched Penny and Colt talking to each other as if I were a third wheel.

I kept my mouth shut and I kept my composure because without me they would have never landed this job. 

“Why are you so quiet today, Darlene? You’re not giving us any input” Penny asked.

“Oh, you guys noticed that I’m here, because since I came in today, both of you have been nonstop chatting to either about work or something you guys did last night, or god knows what.”

 They both looked at each other.

“We’re so sorry. I guess we are leaving you out of things.”

“It’s fine. As long as we all are on the same page with this job. We have to make sure everything goes well or else it is our butts on the line.”

 We all agreed and once again, we pulled it together to become the team that we strive to be. At the end of the day. Colt and Penny invited me to go to the movies with them. And I told them that I had other plans and they both gave each other this look.  As if I would never have other plans unless it is with them.

“Um, where are you going?” Penny asked.

“Oh, I’m going to see some friends.”

“Friends?” Colt asked

“I do have other friends then you guys. You know?”

“No, we don’t know. Since you’ve been here it’s all about me and Penny.  Now you’re popping up that you have other friends. Is this your way of just brushing us off and pretending you have friends just so we don’t feel guilty?” Colt asked.

“Oh my god, you two need to get over yourselves. I do have friends and I’m on my way there. I’m a bit late. So, I will see you guys in the morning. I’ll bring the coffee this time. How’s that?”

“Okay, sure. You know we–”

“Yeah, I know what you guys have. I’ve been with you guys like you said since I got here. So don’t worry about it. I’ll bring the coffee and I’ll talk to you later.”

 I turned my back and walked off very quickly not wanting to see their expression and not caring what they were saying to each other. Because honestly, it was my fault that it went this way. I clung to the very first people who at least gave me an iota of attention because I was the new girl. I need to stop that.  I am a person that people would like to know.

  It took me fifteen minutes to get to the coffee shop.  I see Sammy is wiping down all the tables. And Noel seems to be doing something in the back. Once I opened the glass door a smell I’ve never smelled before in the coffee shop captured my scenes and made love to me in a very scent-ual way.

 It must be a new creation of Noel’s. I thought looking at him skillfully working.

“Hi, I’m here to help.”

 Sammy looked up from wiping the tables. 

“Well Darkling, nice to see you again.” I frowned at the name.” Listen, I’m sorry. It’s gonna stick. You are darkling, and don’t take any offense to it. I think it’s a cute name. So that’s why I keep calling you darkling it is not to get on your nerves. I just thought it was funny and I just like it okay.?”

“I’m not gonna take offense by it since you’re telling me it is coming from a bad place and not that you’re going at me.”

“No, I wasn’t going at you. I just thought it was funny. And it just is a cute name.”

“. Okay, what do you want me to do?”

“Well, I’m wiping down these tables and I’m almost done. Behind the counter. There are little named tags for the tables. I need you to start putting the tags on the tables before the clients get here. They should be here in another forty-five minutes. That is why the last people that are in here right now are wrapping it up.” She said this giving the people a hint that they need to wrap up and leave.

 Instead, they just looked over their laptops and gave her this look as if you’re not rushing me, I paid my money. That kind of look.

 I laughed and went straight to the counter and put my bags down near a little stool that was behind them. I took the name tags. Out and looked at them. I just couldn’t help but smile. The first one said, “Fangs are not.” And I looked at Noel and he didn’t give me one iota that he saw me smiling at these name tags. 

“Are you really going to put these on the table? fangs or not and the second one is if you got them bite them. Like what is going on? what kind of thing is this tonight?”

“They have a very easy-going reading club and tonight is authors and readers. So, they wanted to have fun and wanted to be all-inclusive, like I told you. You’re going to have some lighties and you’re going to have some nighters. Why not have fun?”

“Um, can I ask you something? Are they all about fangs and biting?”

“No, keep looking.”

  I went through and scrolled down. I came to one that said, “I glow” and I could not help but let out a laugh that was so not me. Noel turned around was like, “Did you snort?”

  I was like “No I did not snort. Ladies do not snort.”

 Then Sammy turned around and said” Yes. She snorted and sorry, Darkling I had to out you.”

 I had the biggest smile, and this is the most relaxed I’ve been in days. Yeah, it’s kind of sad that I do miss Penny and Colt but at the same time, I’m making new friends and they’re easygoing. We finished wiping down the tables and setting up the name tags. Noel had three different pitchers of newly brewed coffee that he wanted to try out for this event.

 Slowly but surely, the readers and the authors started trickling in. I watched the different people and realized that they weren’t that different. They look the same. They have odd mannerisms. Some of them really engulf the whole concept of being a nighter. With the dark clothes and the fangs being out and present.  Dark eyeliners and spiky hair.

 The lighters, oh my goodness, you would swear you’re watching a B-rated movie with hair up ponytails and a ribbon. The pinkest outfits were as if they were waiting to be attacked.  Then you have the other ones that are just very serious about their reading and their authors. 

You can tell by the way they wore tweed clothes and, the little briefcase and glasses that may not be prescription but made them look studious.

 I could not help but just smile because this was very comforting to me, believe it or not, and I was doing something out of the ordinary.

A young woman wearing dark rimmed glasses and dark red lipstick that made her skin look very anemic stood to make an announcement.

“I would like to welcome you all here for the second annual Book Lover’s Unite. A place where it does not matter if you are a nighter or a lighter. It only matters if you love literature. I want to remind you of the rules. No aggressive behavior of any kind to the staff. they are here to make our time together a memorable one. If those of you feel a bit peekish please raise a finger and go to our host Noel and he will see to your needs. That is all.”

Everyone applauded and the meeting commenced. Until one of the authors decided to stand and read from her book. Then everyone, even the nighters were dead silent. It got to a point where I almost heard the drop of water from the tap hit the cup because it was so quiet. And when she finished her last line, they all stood and applauded in such a rambunctious way that you cannot deny that she was the best author out there.

“Are they bringing you in? Let me know. Fia”

Goodbye My Lover pt 11 (Eliza’s Plan)

Eliza

The club hummed with the sounds of life. Music played melodic tunes but was drowned out by the continuous chatter and laughter.

Eliza walked through the crowd parting it with her sheer presence. Her determined strides were punctuated by her heeled boots striking the stone stairs as she descended.

Passing several doors she reached her destination.

“Peter I need to speak to you now.  Chain your pet.”

Eliza was found with a young male who seemed entranced by Peter. His state of undress and the two delicate puncture wounds on his golden skin indicated that Peter was just beginning his seduction.

“Eliza can this not wait?” He said not taking his eyes off the young man.

“No, now.” She said and stormed out of the room.

She went straight to the bar in the back of her room and poured a glass of blood that was a hundred-proof alcohol.

“Oh no, you are drinking from a glass. What is the problem?” Peter asked as he walked to the only chair in her room.

“It is not a problem if we are on the same page.”

“Stop being vague.”

“We will be moving into the lighties territory. The plan to build the all-inclusive Community Center in the center of the city was approved.”

“Really.” He said with a smile and look in his eye showing he had his Aideas playing in his mind.

“Whatever you are thinking put it on hold. We have to have Noel on board.”

“That should be simple. He still has a thing for you. Just convince him like you used to.”

“That is the problem. He’s not the same.”

“What are you talking about Eliza.? Have you tried to come on to him?”

She took another swallow of her drink.

“I never had to try. He just used to fall into step like a puppy on my leash.”

Peter looked at her with a sly smile.

“Are you unsure of your feminine prowess?”

An arch of dark red liquid was tossed in the air and landed in Peter’s face and on his cream-white shirt.

“You are afraid.”

“I am not. I will make him heel.”

“Then what am I in here for? I was in the middle of a delicious situation.”

“I need you to go out and find out what Noel has been up to. I need intel. You tend to get in easily with the newly turned and the young people who are trying to find their way in –”

“In their sexuality?”

“Yes,” She said as she poured more blood into her glass.

“When is Noel coming to see you?”

“Tonight.”

Peter rose from his seat with the red liquid drying on him.

“Good luck. It’s like riding a bike, Eliza. He’ll follow.”

Noel

I decided that I would not leave the club without an answer from Eliza. It was one in the morning and I closed the store for an hour. It was fine since it was slow at the one o’clock hour.

I walked into the club in the back way. Avoiding the crowd tonight.

I walked to the lower level and went straight to Eliza’s room. Nothing had changed she had it dimly lit and a soft scent was in the air. I shook my head when I realized it was gardenias. That was the scent she would have permeated the air when she decided it was time for us to be together.

I shook my head at her delusions.

“Noel, thanks for  coming tonight.”

“Did I hear you right? You just thanked me.”

“Your right. Have a seat.” She demands.

That was the Eliza I knew.

“Are you going to tell me why you and Peter are back?”

“Why are you so in a rush? Why don’t you relax a bit.”

I sat down and watched her every movement. Tonight she was wearing a skin-tight black leather dress that emphasized all the curves of her body.

Eliza went to her bar and poured two glasses of blood, She brought one of them to me and I took a sip realizing that was all I could afford to drink unless I wanted to pass out.

“Tell me.”

“Fine. We came back to open a center where all lighties and our kind can mingle without fear.”

“That is what we have here?’

“Well, this one will be in the center of the Lighties territory.”

I do not breathe like normal lighties. But what breath I do take stopped.

“What?”

“You heard me. We will be in the center of the city.”

“Are you trying to kill all the newly turned? You know the law states they are not allowed in their territory or be put to death.”

“Well that is why the club will remain but we need to branch out and I need your help.”

“My help?”

“Of course. Do you not have a coffee shop for the lighties? How do you control yourself, tell me what is your secret.”

“No secret and I am not helping you.”

She walked over to me and she stared right at me. Her eyes started to turned a pitch black that you could drown in but she forgot I’m pure blood and it does not have the same effect on me as the lighties.

“Eliza do not do this.”

She grazed her fingers across the spot where she knew I liked to be bitten but I have changed and do not desire her like I once did. I caught her hand and made her stop.

“No, Eliza. Whatever we had is long gone.”

“Noel are you really telling me no.”

“That is what I am saying, I am also telling you no on the idea.”

She burst out laughing.

“You telling me no the community center? You have no say. You have no power.”

I stood and gave her back her glass.

“Noel?”

“I have no power? Your memory has deteriorated some has it?”

“You follow where I lead Noel.”

I looked at her with my eyes showing a glimpse of my power. “I was born in power. You were created and I said no.”

I walked out of the room with my blood boiling at her attempt of trying to manipulate me.

The crash of the glass against the door was undoubtedly Eliza having a tantrum. She will not let this go. I’m ready for her.

Goodbye My lover prt10 (Lonely)

Darlene

The meeting with the boss went well. Colt and Penny were especially ecstatic about landing a big client and I was as well but watching how they were giving each other nonverbal eye cues made me realise that I was not part of that friendship.

I won’t lie to myself and say that I am not lonely but it will be fine. I powered through this emotion before.

“Darlene so we’ll see you in the morning. We  have a lot to hash out.”

“Yeah, of course.”

“We will see the regular Darlene tomorrow. This one scares me a bit.” Colt said trying to make me laugh I think.

“The regular me will be back. Have a good night.” I told them both. I walked away from them because to see them walk away together would bother me.

I walked without thinking of the destination. I ended up back at the coffee shop and No was at the counter wiping it down.

I went in with a smile on my face that I had down packed from practicing and ordered.

“Hi, I know this is a coffee shop but do you have any chamomile tea?”

Noel looked at me with a smile and it faltered a bit.

“Yes, we have that. Are you alright? Did you not land the contract?”

“I’m fine. What do you mean? We landed it and we start work tomorrow.”

He nodded and went to work getting my tea. What did he see? I gave him my best smile.

“Here you go. If you like for celebration I have chocolate croissants on the house.”

“Thank you,” I said then it happened. A tear fell and then another.

He looked uncomfortable and I did not want that. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Wiped the tears away and asked, “How much I owe you?”

He looked at me then past me over my shoulder.

“Come in the back.” He whispered.

“Why? I will get it together. “ I reached for the cup and he grabbed my hand.

“Please, come in the back.”

I looked into his eyes and he looked concerned. I nodded and went with him in the back.

The room was nice and relaxing. With a loveseat. A mock waterfall by the wall and a lot of plants that seemed to grow without natural sunlight.

“Have a seat.”

“You have a business to run.”

“It; ‘s alright. I’ll be right back.”

I went to sit on the loveseat and felt the weight of my loneliness wash over me. Why was it hitting me so hard? I have always been alone.

Noel returned with the tea and sat next to me.

“What is the matter?

“I feel really ridiculous right now. I should be happy but I just don’t feel it.”

He sat there silently and let me drink the tea. The tears stopped flowing and a calm effect was coming over me.

“How do you feel now?”

“Better.”

“Good I had the air mixed with a calming scent to relax you. Now can you tell me what happened?”

“This is crazy I don’t even know you.”

“It’s easier to talk to someone you don’t know sometimes.”

“The day went as expected. I was prepared for the meeting as you can see. I dominated the man that I knew would crumble if I did that and we got the job.”

Then why are you upset?”

“I feel alone in this win. Ever since we went to that club. Colt and Penny are spending my time together without me and I feel it.”

He nodded in understanding.

“You feel like you lost your friends.”

When he said it out loud the tears started to flow again. He moved closer and put his arm around my shoulder. I turned into him and he let me cry it out.

“Look they are your friends but I think you are confusing work friendships with real ones.”

“I am tired of being alone. I’ve done it but –”

“I have an idea if you are willing.”

I looked up at him.

“Would you like to come here Wednesday and help me and Sammy out in the Evening? We are hosting a reading get-together and it is larger than we expected.”

“I have a job.”

He laughed and nodded and started to wipe my face.

“I do know that. This is just to get you out of the same old routine and I would appreciate it.”

I looked at his chest and realized I was being held close. He smelled like coffee and sweet citrus.

I pushed away and nodded my acceptance.

“I will help.”

He smiled showing a little pointed canine.

“That is the first time I’ve seen your smile. You are a nighter.”

He stiffened at the comment, and I regretted it.

“It does not matter to me. Thank you for listening. How are you back here with me while running your business?”

“I put out a sign on the door. Will be back in twenty.”

“Thank you for the tea.” I stood up and I felt him looking at me.

“You dominated him?” He asked.

“I took acting class in high school and I can study what personality I need to be and put it to action.”

I went into mode and looked at him. I moved in close and whispered, “Tell me the time I must be here and I will only say it once.”

He smiled and threw my concentration off.

“You’re good. I like that side of you.”

“No that is not a side that is acting.”

“Okay.”

We left the back and I felt at ease. I told him good night and went home.

 

Noel

 

Wow, she is something. The way she looked, smelled, and walked in. I wanted to pounce, But her smell was off. It was tinged with sadness.

Once the tears started to fall, I felt like I needed to calm her down. The first thing I thought of was the back room.

Sammy has been in this room once and she said that she did not like it. “I feel claustrophobic.”

I took her by the hand and walked her to the back.

Her skin was soft and warm. I told her to have a seat and I went out to make a quick sign that we were closed for twenty. We never close.

I went back there and changed the setting on the air. The light lavender scent calms people.

Sitting next to her I could feel how upset she was.

Finally, she let it out. She was alone. She was tired of being alone and she thought she made a real connection with those two.

We talked for a while and finally, she calmed down. She even tried to show me her dominating skills.

I did my best not to laugh. Once she bent close, I wanted a taste of those lips. Instead, I pulled back.

Tonight, I am supposed to meet with Eliza and Peter. They were coming here, and I needed her to leave soon.

“Okay please be here at six. I will need you to work for four hours. Are you alright with that?”

She smiled and nodded. 

I walked her out and she waved goodbye. Taking the sign down I stepped aside to let a few customers in that were waiting.

I served them mindlessly. My thoughts were jumbled with what I needed to find out from Eliza and Peter and how I was reacting around Darlene.

Hi fire starters. How are you liking these two.A bit emotional this part but we all break down sometimes. Let me know how you like it. Fia xoxo
