I Met a Vampire Down in Santa Carla

Chapter Nineteen

The past two weeks have gone by so fast. Mom is in the process of getting a job at the local vet office. She claimed that even though she has half a million she doesn't want to be cooped up all day. I didn't blame her. It is up in the air right now if we will move to a smaller place. Right now living in a five-bedroom house with it being only the two of us wasn't ideal. Why was the house so big for a family of three was beyond me. I theorized Steve wanted to show off his wealth with fancy things. Hence why his brothers thought my car was his. I had my room then mom had hers. There is a home office and guest room. The last room was like a man cave of sorts and Mom and I never went in until he died. It was the most decked-out room we've seen. With a TV bigger than the one in the living room and a couch behind it was a pool table and a wall filled with all his football memorabilia. She could get a lot for the house if we move but she doesn't want to start a new mortgage. Claiming she wants to wait until the insurance comes back. 

She did end up getting served a lawsuit from Janet. We weren't surprised in the slightest. At my job things have finally settled into normalcy. I had normal clients lined up for the next three months. David comes in every night for my break and is always there to come see me after work so that we can go hang out whether it be at the shack or the boardwalk. I'm still not sure what we are. On one hand, we have been hanging out alone more but besides the night mom was in jail we have yet to do anything a normal couple would. We haven't held hands, cuddled up on the couch to watch a movie, or kissed. It was getting frustrating. He claimed to feel the same way yet not much has changed to prove it. Part of me hopes it's just him being respectful considering he knows my past experiences and not that his feelings have changed. As for everyone else we have gotten back into a flow. Dnd now weekly as well as band practice. I'm getting ready for the monthly larp as my high elf Ismeth. I'm currently a level-four druid. I have on the ears and black facial markings. Using white foundation for the skin and contacts to make my eyes fire red. I have a chocker with a pendant which is a magic item. The dress has a low v-neck and a cinched waist the sleeves are off the shoulder and flow past the fingertips. The skirt is to the ankle and has a slit up both sides to the right below the hip. I have knee-high boots and a strap around my left thigh with glitter in it. The glitter is for spells. I am busy styling my hair pulling two strands at the front into small braids to pull back behind my head to hold it out of my face. I feel a breeze brush past me making a shiver run down my spine. I turn to see David lying out on my bed watching me get ready. 

"How did you get in? Don't vampires need permission to enter someone's house?" I ask confused about how he got in.

"You don't remember me spending the night with you?" He raises his eyebrows and nods his head towards me. "What's with the get-up?" I turn back to the mirror to focus on what I'm doing with my hair. It was giving me more issues than I wanted. 

"Larp," I mutter "Did you need something?" I ask I hear shuffling behind me. He leans over looking in the mirror his reflection showing. He had told me that when permission is granted he gets temporary immunity to holy items and silver. He also gains his reflection. 

"Do I need a reason to come see my girl?" He barriers his face into my neck smiling. I turn to him in shock.

"Your girl?" He looked confused. 

"Is that a problem?" 

"No" I shake my head quickly. "It's just. Well, we haven't made anything official." He stands up straight. He turns me around caging me between him and the vanity. 

"My bad princess I didn't realize I had to be blunt about it." He smirks. "Will you be mine?" I blush nodding trying to bite back the huge smile that made its way on my face. "What?" He tilts his head teasing I cover my face trying to turn away. It was embarrassing getting all giddy like a high school girl who just got asked out by the popular football player. "Do I make you that flustered?" He laughs. "Your hearts beating so fast guppie." He kisses my cheeks grabbing my wrist to prevent me from shying away. The moment is spoiled by my phone going off. I hang up and try to work up the courage to pull him into a kiss but apparently whoever tried calling really needed my attention. I answer after the third ring both David and I visibly annoyed.
