Another Vampire Book

Chapter Four

Damon held my hand while we drove around town. He was going to surprise me with somewhere to eat, (I hope I'm not on the menu) but there wasn't really anywhere good. I sat up in my seat a little as we got on the interstate.

"Damon? Where are we going?" I tried to read his face, but he looked like he had a secret he couldn't wait to tell. I watched his expressions change as he thought, and I watched the road, but I couldn't figure out where we were going.

"It's a surprise. You might as well take a nap. It'll be a while."
I sighed as I closed my eyes, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

I walked across the elegant dance floor, towards him. He was holding two glasses of champaign, and when he saw me, his eyes lit up.

"Darling, I got us some drinks, let's toast." I rolled my eyes, he was being so obvious. But the secret I held, could not be contained much longer. I summed up my courage, and told him.

"Honey, I have something to tell you... I'm pregnant." I saw his eyes grow wide, as he gripped the table behind him.

"Are you sure? Who's is it?" He looked like his life was going to end, but I knew he would be happy soon.

"I'm sure, and it's yours." I said with a smile. He grabbed my hands and looked me in the eyes, and then gave me a quick kiss.

"Let's walk outside for a bit, okay?" I said, gesturing towards the doors leading outside.

"I'm a vampire, how can it be mine? I've never gotten anyone pregnant before, how is it possible?"

"Maybe because you're a boy, your body didn't stop your...production...stuff."  He looked like he understood, but wasn't so sure about it.

"I guess, I mean, we didn't use anything, right? And you haven't been with anyone else?" I rolled my eyes.

"Of course I haven't been with anyone else! I love you, and only you."

Damon shook me awake, and I swatted his hand away.

"Do you mind? I was having a good dream." He laughed a little, and opened his car door, then walked over to mine. He opened it and held out his hand.

"My lady," he said, with a smile,"Are you ready to eat?" I took his hand and got out of the car. We looped arms and walked up to an extravagant looking restaurant, that had lights shining out of the huge windows. I could see other couples having fun and laughing, and the food looked wonderful, from where I was at least. Damon had picked the perfect restaurant for what I was craving that minute. An All-American 50's diner.

"Yes! This is perfect! Just what I wanted!" I fist pumped and jumped a little. Damon chuckled as he led me in the door.
When we went into the diner, I could smell the greasy hamburgers and fries, and could hear the laughter of the families and couples in the back. We got seated in a private booth and ordered a shake to share, (Damon's idea, not mine) and we each got a burger and I got some onion rings and he got fries.
At first, when the shake got there, we were quiet. But then he took a sip, and said,

"Oh, wow. This is awesome. You should have some too. Here." He pushed it toward me, and I took a slow sip, imagining us having an indirect kiss.
Ugh! What am I thinking? I am so stupid, he probably doesn't even see me as a friend.

"What are you thinking about?" He looked at me with a smirk on his face, like he knew what I was thinking. I looked away, with a smile forming on my face.

"It's nothing." Just then the waitress showed up with our food.

"Here you go guys, is that it?" She tried to sound cute, and she wasn't even looking at me, just Damon.

"Actually, could you get my girlfriend here a coke?" He asked, with a sickly sweet voice.

"Oh, yeah, sure..." Then she walked away. I was holding in a laugh, and so was Damon. As soon as we couldn't see her anymore, we burst, and started laughing so hard, that I couldn't even breath.

"Ahh, that was hysterical! We need to start trolling more often."

"Trolling?"

"Wait, are you saying we're dating? But I thought you didn't like me..." Just as I finished speaking, he leaned across the table and kissed me. The heat I felt was intense, and I wondered if he felt the same way. I mean, probably not right? What am I thinking? I just need to ask him upfront.

"Um... Damon? Do you... Like me?" I asked hesitantly. He smiled at me and thought for a moment. He leaned in, getting close to my ear, and whispered in a deep husky voice,

"No, it's more like, I love you." He kissed my cheek as he pulled away, and sat back down. I was speechless. I was blushing like crazy, and my breathing had hitched as I whispered,

"I l-love you too." Even though I whispered, I knew he heard me, with him being a vampire and all.

Just then, with me blushing, Damon smirking, and the silence between us, the waitress came back.

"Um... Here's your drink." Then she walked away.

"Well, that was awkward wasn't it?" Damon said with another smirk. I blushed even more, and I took a sip of my coke. Damon added another straw and drank it with me, which made me blush even more.

"Very sensitive today, are we? I wonder if it's because I told you... I love you." He whispered the last part in my ear as I shivered. He got up and moved to sit next to me, and then he grabbed my face and kissed me.
