Warning
Like the book and the film that inspired my writings, this story is rated R and contains blood play, character's death and violence.
Chapter 7
“I’ve always hated her,” Marko said.
David stood up and helped me up.
“Are you ok?” he asked while I was brushing the sand off of my clothes.
“Yes, I’m fine,” I answered.
“I’m sorry, I wrongly accused you,” I said.
“I did it too…draw!” He joked.
I smiled at him.
“I can bring you back home if you want.”
“Good idea.”
When we reached my apartment, I invited him in.
“You need some rest,” he said, running his hand softly through my hair.
“After such an adventure, I won’t be able to sleep for days,” I replied.
He smiled at me. I smiled back. I looked deep in his eyes and I knew David was more than a friend to me now. We were sharing a special “secret”.
“I’ll have to find someone else to share this apartment with, and share the huge bills too.”
“I can choose her for you, you know you can trust me,” he joked.
“No, thanks, your friends are a bit too strange for me!”
He laughed. To see him laugh was quite new because he used to be so cold.
“Lynn was your friend, not mine!” He replied.
He put his arms around my shoulders and pulled me against his chest in a big hug. I could feel his breath on my neck, it was delightfully hot. I put my arms around him too and hugged him back. We stayed in each other’s arms for a moment, enjoying the new peace that was now in our lives.
“Thank you for your help, Jenny’s scared friend,” he said after a while.
“Don’t call me that anymore, I fought a damned vampire!”
“You’re right, my courageous partner.”
He leaned in slowly and kissed me. I enjoyed his taste on my lips, his salty kisses. He moved back a little and gave me a hungry look. But it did not frighten me.
“Kiss me again,” I said.
“Remember, I give the orders,” he said smiling. Then, he kissed me again.
“I have to go now, I belong to the night.”
I knew he was right, he couldn’t stay with me. Sadness washed over me. This adventure made me feel so close to him. In a certain way, I needed his presence but it wasn’t possible. And maybe, I was also in love with him a little even if I did not want to admit it, once more.
“Maybe I’ll call you again later,” he said caressing my cheek.
“I hope so, David. I know that…. This is not the end,” I replied.
“Be careful, my courageous partner. Take care of yourself,” I heard in my head as David left the place.
“I promise,” I silently responded.
