Taboo, a vampire brother/sister romance

The Best Birzday Ever

Rachel was still asleep, I couldn't believe my lack of self control. Once her heavenly sweet blood reached my lips I could barely stop myself from draining her.

I smiled down at my angel, the fang marks I had made a mere three hours ago could really be seen now.

The kitchen seemed to absorb my proud happy mood as I walked in. Today was a big day. Not only was it Rachel and my birthday; it was the day I was going to ask her to be my wife. I had planned the most memorable proposal ever; with the help of Vocal Motion of course.

I picked up my phone and dialed Marcel, my right hand proposal mastermind.

"Hey Riff!" she greeted in a loud voice.

"Shh!" I hissed "Rachel's asleep! Is everything ready?"

"Haven't you learned to trust me Riff Raff?" she said feigning hurt.

"Marcel." I growled growing impatient at her antics.

She sighed "Yes everything's ready?"

"Good." my voice sounded shorter than I intended.

"I have ta tell ya Riff the boys do not like this at all."

"Do you think I care? Don't they wanna help me propose to Rachel?"

"Of course they love you guys. It's just they think the outfit's we're makin' 'em wear are a bit well... embarrassing."

"They'll get over it!"

She laughed.

Suddenly I heard a soft rustling from the makeshift bed. "Rachel's awake."

"Oh well see you at noon."

"Bye."

I walked back into the living room to see Rachel looking at me.

"Good morning" I said kneeling down so my lips where only inches from her.

"Good morning" she returned smiling, no doubt expecting our first kiss

Smirking I pulled away"Time to get up! I'm taking you to the mall!"

"Vhich one?"

"The Gateway."

"Vhy?"

"No reason I just want to take you out for our birthday." I lied in a casual tone.

She sat up slowly , her sweet plump lips begging for a kiss. "I zink I'd like zat."

"Good." I whispered turning away.

As Rachel took a bath I cleaned up the living room. Suddenly my phone rang.

"Hey Dad." I said. He was the only one in the family I had told about my feelings for Rachel.

"Did you ask her yet."

'Boy he's blunt' I thought "No not yet!"

"What are you waiting for boy she's not going to be patient forever!"

"I'm gonna ask her at noon today OK?" I said harshly.

"Fine, just give her your grandmother's ring."

"I will Dad! Bye." I hung up in one swift motion.

I walked into my room and changed. Today I decided on a white dress shirt , red tie, red, black and white vest, red pants, and a red hat.

Knowing Rachel would object heatedly I picked out her outfit chuckling.

She walked in wearing her pink bathrobe. " I'm not vearing zat!" she told me.
