"We got a perfect chance to meet Alexander." Vlad exclaimed barging in to the library which was once accompanied by total silence and just Elena dozing off on the couch and me reading about Romania's history. Elena got startled and fell right off the couch "Vlad you are going to give me an heart attack right before you suck my flesh I swear to the Gods!" We all chuckled before I helped her to get up. "Sorry to brag it Elena! But we got an art opening exhibition party coming up and Alexander invited the three of us, after I told him everything and requested to meet with him." Vlad said to which I saluted, "Bravo Vlad! Proud of you sir!" Vlad winked at me to which my sneaky blushes did not go unnoticed by our friend Elena. "Mmm aha? Okay? I understand" Elena said sheepishly smirking. It was only a few days I had been with them and it feels like we had known each other forever. Remembering something, my mind immediately made me pop my mouth out to both Vlad and Elena, "I have a problem. You guys know right I won a raffle draw and it gave me the chance to explore Romania and Dracula's castle." They nodded and I continued. "I am afraid I will not be able to stay-" Vlad did not let me continue. "Don't worry Kat! I have taken care of everything. You can stay here as long as you prefer" he exclaimed with a tender smile that made my heart flutter.

"Really!" I screamed, which made Vlad nod his head and Elena high-five me. I was thrilled to think that Vlad took care of everything; otherwise, I would have had to say goodbye to him and all this vampire blah blah. But when the seriousness of the matter dawned on me, I asked him slowly, "But how, Vlad?" Vlad's eyes softened as he looked into mine. "Relax, darling. No one would dare to disobey the direct representative and owner of the Castle of Romania's biggest hero and the hottest character in the world." My mouth dropped open to the point where my jaw might break. I was in a state where Vlad's sense of humor had skyrocketed enough to make me regret my whole existence. "You're unbelievable, Vlad." He chuckled and continued, "So, now that that has been settled, let's get straight to the point. This art exhibition showcases the finest paintings in Romania and its history. It's a festive event. Dress nicely, ladies. We might as well take the chance to enjoy ourselves while we can." Both Elena and I nodded to Vlad as if we were an investigation team and Vlad was our leader, which is quite obvious since practically the whole situation revolves around his mighty presence.

The day of the art exhibition came and I had a few hours. I had already planned whatever I am intended to wear. I got a brand new Chanel party dress packed in my luggage just in case I would need it. You will never know. Vlad offered to buy me dresses and accessories to which I absolutely declined. It would be disrespectful and Vlad would oblige otherwise. It was around 6 pm we are intended to go by 7 pm. I looked at my dress from top to bottom with a satisfied look as it looked perfect on my body way better than I thought it would be. I did a slight make up and let my auburn shoulder length hair fall off for my party dress. It was a plain simple Chanel Burgundy long velvet prom dress with short sleeves. It would be a lie to say it did look simple but it could turn heads.

I finished dressing session not forgetting to spray my Chanel perfume all over my body as the cherry on top. I locked my bed room door after grabbing my phone and sliding it in to the pocket of my red velvet prada purse. Elena said that she would get late and that she would be there at the venue at time as she had to take care personal matters at home as well. We agreed to meet there and Vlad will be taking me as well. I took slow steps down the old castle's stairs while Vlad was down the stairs with his back turned towards me. He looked dashing with the perfect three piece suit highlighting his perfect masculine figure. As I took the last steps down "Vlad?" I called. "Oh you came Katrina I was jus-" As he turned around his eyes widened as he took me fully in to his beautiful blue eyes. "Kat! Just wow, do you know how gorgeous you are looking just now?" "Says the hottest!" I took his hand which was open for me since the moment he laid his daring eyes on my figure. "Are you ready?" Vlad asked walking together with me " yeah of course" I replied gladly.

When I say his vehicle my eyes was about to come out of my eye sockets. Vlad could not help but chuckle at my state with pride gleaming in his face. The thought of him trying to impress me made my puffy cheeks red. This time he got a Lamborghini. Why did I say this time? It's because he got a lot of cars. It's like he chooses cars on a regular basis like changing clothes. One day a Mercedes then on the next day a Porche. Who knows next he would be flexing his private jet just to show us his jaw dropping wealth. Despite being filthy rich Vlad is a total gentleman. With him he made sure that I did not feel the slightest moment of being uncomfortable. He opened the door to the car for me. The door of the expensive car went way higher than the car's height 90 degrees in total. Vlad carefully helped me to sit with my dress so that it's ends would not get caught to the door. With that he took his seat on the driver's side and drove off too the destination not forgetting to turn on the maps and entering the location to gain necessary directions.

We were soon on the on our way to the arts exhibition. My thoughts swept in to Vlad's past and the present. The more I was with him the more curious I get about him. Vlad is a book judged by his cover but I want to read him completely not missing a word. Vlad as if he can sensed my thoughts asked me right away, "I know there is still many more questions for you to ask from me. Know that I will answer each and every question of yours and take your doubts away. I am yours." The last sentence made me gasp as if I could not breathe. Momentarily he would find ways to flirt with me. One time I remembered when I asked him about his marital status during the ottoman ages where he ruled as the prince of Wallachia. We were in library yet putting books aside and getting ahead with a conversation of our own as if we were each other's favorite book to read. He told me how he never was in love and how all the matter at that time kept him away from personal feelings. He barely had time to think himself let alone a significant other and a family of his own, not to mention how risky it would be at that time for him. I ended up asking him of love and he ended up asking me a strange question. He asked what letter ends with love? Where I replied as "E" and he shamelessly told me it ends with "U", where I clearly understood he meant about me and not the letter. Wiping these thoughts off my mind, I bravely asked the first question that came into my mind. "Vlad do you intend to drink human blood all the time?"
