Nobody's Angel: Ch. 28 {A Vampire Romance}

 "So, what now?" I mumbled hours later. I had no idea where the time had gone; all we had done all afternoon was kiss it seemed. All I knew was that it was that beautiful time of day/night where you couldn't tell the difference. It my favorite part, because it seemed like everything just came together in one, spectacular scene. On the horizon, you could still see a sliver of the sun, and the sky turned from orange, to yellow, to pink, and then darker and darker until it was navy blue. Small, brave stars were twinkling when you tilted your head vertically up, and the moon was slowly fading into view. Day and night, light and dark, coming together.

"Mmm," he hummed happily. "I don't know."

We were lying down on the bed; my arm was around his waist and my head on his chest. He was lying on his back, his arm around my shoulders and playing with my long blonde hair. I set my chin on him, staring at his face.

"So I'm supposed to be your queen, huh?" I smiled. He nodded. "What if I don't want to be queen, Seth? I'm a human. I don't want so much control over another species. Besides, your mom is a great queen. And she's young. Why do I have to worry about this?"

"My mom isn't going to be around forever, sweetheart. And you'll change, so you will be a vampire."

"How does a vampire die?"

"They can request death," he explained. "That's what a lot of vampires do. They just feel that they've done their time, and that's that. The vampire realm is so much bigger than Earth; we can support trillions of vampires at one time and still have room left over."

"How can you control so many?!" I gapped. "We have leaders for every country! Not a whole race!"

"Humans are rash," he explained, rubbing my shoulders affectionately. "Vampires can think more about the whole picture, not just what they want to think about. Most people are quite content with our family; only a few rebels every now and again. You won't have much to worry about. Your job isn't going to put pressure on you or anything. I can make sure of that. Can't have my girl all tense every night, can I?" he teased. I smacked his chest lightly.

"What will my job be?"

"Well, pretty much any kind of problem involving education, children, mothering, anything like that. We are old-fashioned, so you would be handling the women's work. I, on the other hand, would handle the wars we fight, economical problems, rebels, terrorists, trespassers..."

"Ugh, I can't believe how sexist you are!"

He chuckled. Oh my gosh, he was having fun! I gave him my famous glare. "Now, now," he teased. "Watch that feisty little temper of yours. Or else I'll just have to show you who's boss in this relationship."

"Me, obviously."

"You think so?"

"Oh yeah. Definitely."

"Hmm, maybe I'll just have to borrow your handcuffs."

"Oh my gosh, let it go!"

He snickered.

"Why did you want to get me here so fast?" I wondered, gesturing around the outside room and efficiently changing the subject. "You didn't follow the ten minutes rule, anyways."

He nodded towards my hand. "To get that ring on your finger as soon as possible." I rolled my eyes playfully, a small smile lighting up my face. "There it is," he grinned, brushing his thumb across my lips.

"Well, we still aren't getting married tomorrow," I stated. "Should we still tell everyone?"

"Everyone already knows," he mumbled, relaxing and lolling his head back onto the pillows. "My mom and dad are ecstatic." When he saw my confused look, he tapped his head. I nodded in realization. Jeez, I still wasn't really used to all of this vampire stuff.
