Chapter 116: The Woman is the Devil

The Woman is the Devil - The Doors

Mina POV

-----

Being a vampire at five months pregnant absolutely sucked. I swear Chibs and Jessica had it out for me. She was throwing her annual Halloween party and begging me and Chibs to go. He thought it was a great idea to go; with everything going on with the club, he wanted to get away from them for a night. 

"C'mon, it'll be fun," he said, wrapping his arms around my waist and dropped his chin on my shoulder.

I laughed, "Fun for who?"

"Well," he chuckled, "me, mostly. But, I'll owe ya one." He kissed my neck and swayed us from side to side. "C'mon, darlin'."

I chuckled, putting my hands on top of his. "The things I do for you."

He was like a child when we went to the store to pick out our costumes. I wanted to be Danny and Sandy from Grease but Chibs didn't like that idea. He picked up a costume labeled "Sexy Nurse" and handed it to me.

"Absolutely not," I chuckled, putting it back on the shelf.

"Well, then what about this?" He grabbed a schoolgirl costume and held it up to me. He laughed, "Ya see, it's great because you're a teacher."

I shook my head, "It's not great." I took it out of his hand and put it back. "No, we need to get you out of this section."

We finally agreed on vampires under the circumstance that he could buy the nurse and schoolgirl costumes just to have. I couldn't stand the stupid grin on his face as he put them in the basket he was carrying. 

"You dirty old man," I chuckled. He just shrugged and kept walking. 

When Halloween came, I did not want to go. I was exhausted and had no interest in going. I just wanted to sit and eat all the candy and watch scary movies with Chibs. But, there I was, pulling this black and purple lace dress on and shoving my teeth into plastic fangs. It was supposed to be worn with stilettos but that was not happening. I borrowed a pair of black high heel boots from Jessica.

I walked into the living room, feeling ridiculous, and Chibs was standing in there in his half-assed costume that he looked amazing in. Black pants, a black shirt that was unbuttoned at the top, a black suit vest, fangs, and fake blood all over his face. 

He took a few steps over to me. "Oh, darlin'," he sighed, struggling to speak through the fake teeth. "Ya look so f*ckin' sexy."

I laughed, "You don't look too bad yourself."

He grabbed my wrists and pulled me closer to him. He kissed my neck and then bit my neck, putting just a little pressure into the bite because of the fangs. "Should we skip the party?"

"No," I laughed, "this was your idea." He groaned putting his forehead on my shoulder. "How about..." I started, provoking his interest and he lifted his head up a little to look at me. "...we go to the party, come back here, and maybe if you're a good little vampire, I'll put the schoolgirl costume on just for you?"

He dropped his head back down and groaned, "You're gonna be the f*ckin' death of me."

I chuckled, "Good thing vampires are immortal."

We drove over to Jessica's house and the massive party she threw every year. She always invited every teacher from school and all of her friends. In years past, she and I would sneak out back and hang out just the two of us because there were too many people. 

When we pulled up to her house, there was a motorcycle parked across the street. Chibs looked over at it and laughed. I looked up at him and asked, "What?"
