Get back the zing (Drac x reader)

7. Jonnys excuse

„Well eh..."

Neither Jonny nor Mavis knew how to answer the count. He leaned forward, still glaring at the two, "I am listening."

"You see dad, we eh...I think Jonny can explain it better than I, right Jonny?"

The poor boy was now in a situation, which he had always tried to prevent...getting between the fronts. He was mumbling some words together, which didn't make sense at first. Mavis got concerned, while her father was about to lose his patience, "Get to the point Jonny!"

Mavis tired another tactic, touching her husband's forehead, "Are you feeling well honey?"

Instead of getting the hint, Jonny came up with an idea, "N/A is...very, very ill. Yeah and, we thought you and her could spend some time together...making her forget her illness...for a while."

"Why on earth me?" pushed Drac.

"Well she...lost...her boyfriend...I mean husband...in a...car accident. And you know how it is to lose someone precious right?"

He had a point there; Drac knows exactly how this feels. He leaned back into the chair and thought this over. Mavis however was freaking out, whispering to Jonny, "Have you lost it now? Using my dad's past for this? If he finds out..."

"If he finds out" corrects Jonny.

"No Jonny, this is going too far. Tell him the truth now or..."

"Okay I do it!"

"HUH????" Mavis and Jonny looked over the vampire. His foul mood was gone now, replaced by a massive grin, "If there is anyone cheering her up after such a loss, then it is me. I make sure that she is happy again."

Instead of feeling relieved of her dad's mood...she panicked, "Well dad, Jonn...."

"I know, I know...you two have your famous 'date night' and I take care of N/A" before his daughter could explain the situation, he left quickly. He eyes were filled with rage, "JONNY! We are now in serious trouble!"

"Why Mavi? We got him right where we want him to be. It can't be that bad."

"Did you forget in which room he is spending his nights now? He could ask her anytime about her 'illness' and 'dead husband'."

Jonny's face went pale, "...Ops..."

"Ops, alright you two!" Franky stood at the door to the backyard. He heard it all and shook his head in disbelieve, "You are going THIS far to get them together? I know you are getting weird ideas, but this...is sick." Franky pointed out the door, where the three could see me and Drac, having a conversation. He didn't seem to talk about the situation, as I was laughing with joy. Drac joined in.

"Let's see how you get out of this Jonny" said Franky, leaving the two alone.

"This is bad, this is terribly bad" Mavis was close to tears, as she had never hurt her dad that badly. She knew it will break his heart and this time, it will be impossible to heal. While Jonny tried to cheer his wife up, I walked past the couple, "Hey there guys!"

"He-hello N/A" stuttered Jonny. Mavis stayed quiet. "What is up with you guys? The pavilion is finished; you can go and join your father Mavis. I catch up with you guys!"

The last thing they wanted, is to get anywhere near the lord of darkness...not until they find a solution for their problem. How to tell the truth without hurting us both in the process? It sounds like, mission impossible.

At the breakfast table, we humans finally realized that our 'guests' need other things, than bread and cold cuts. Luckily the vampires got their own food later on and the others tried the human food...but stayed hungry in the end. Anastasia apologized for this embarrassing moment. The monsters however took it lightly. They didn't feel bothered about this. "Don't worry you guys, N/A and Rita can get us blood and meat from the butcher's tomorrow morning."

"No way, will I get anything for that!" yelled Rita, pointing at Drac, "and besides, I stay with my boyfriend for the next nights." She didn't mean to say, that she stays away till the monsters are gone. She got off her seat and left without another word.

Anastasia shrugged, "Fine by me. What about you N/A?"

I smiled, "I take care of this, just write it all down for me." That made me remember something, "Oh Drac, you are sleeping tonight on your own. I got a longer nightshift, because I left sooner than I should have the previous night." My boss was furious on the phone; I hope he will go easy on me tonight. "So I might need more time to sleep" unlike our guests, everyone else in the house knew what that meant. I wished everyone a good day and headed towards my room. Franky informed them to be a little quieter for the day, as I needed a little more sleep. All the monsters didn't mind that at all as well as Vlad. They would do something fun for the day, unlike Dracula. He followed me with his eyes, as sadness filled his face. He already planned this day with me and now...it was all ruined. Unlike the young couple...

Mavis and Jonny were relieved...for now.
