illicit Relationship (Editing)

Ch 14: The Night Sky

“Deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.”

I sat on my bed, alone for what felt like forever. Nothing to do, nowhere to go. Just waiting for him, to see if he would get here.

While waiting for someone to pick you up, there are times when people can’t help but think negatively. I was, my thoughts continued to go crazy. 

What if he doesn’t show up?

What if he forgets?

But all my negative thoughts were cut off when I heard a knock on the door. With my vampire speed I ran to the front door and opened it. The wind blowing past me.

I smiled as I saw Mr. Night looking down at me with his million dollar smile.

I smiled back and finally let out the breath that I had been holding since I started waiting.

"Hey, ready to go." he said smiling at me.

I nodded eagerly and grabbed my jacket before stepping out towards the car with him.

He opened the door for me like the perfect gentlemen that he is.

I sat in and buckled up as he sat down in his seat. Then he started driving, we were both quiet, I had nothing to say. But the silence was comfortable. We didn’t say a word, but every time we stopped at a red light he would look at me and smile.

I smiled back, honestly I felt like I was going crazy, the anxiety was killing me. I wanted to know what was going to happen.

That’s when Mr. Night drove onto a dirt road, at first I was a little scared but I didn’t let it show. But I wasn’t worried. I trust him. And the fact that I am a very old vampire and could over power any human helped me calm down. Although, Mr. Night does not look capable of hurting anyone.

That’s when I began to see lights at a distant. I got curious, what did he do. The close we got the brighter the lights. I tried to see what it was but I couldn’t.

Until we actually got there.

We were on a cliff by our town. But from the cliff you could see everything.

Set up everywhere there were lights, like Christmas lights, and in the middle there was a blanket set up on the floor, and a pick nick basket.

I felt like tearing up, no one has ever done anything this nice before, no one has ever cared enough. I’ve been alone most of my life but having Mr. Night with me I didn’t feel alone. I feel like I have someone who cares for me, and who always is there for me.

But at the same time I’m scared, what if he doesn’t accept what I am. I’m going to have to tell him eventually. But I don’t know when in the right time, or how I should tell him. 

And that dream, the dream I’ve been having a lot, I’m scared that he won’t accept me. I know that if he leaves, I know it will break my heart. I don’t know how my life will be without him, I do know though that it is not going to be fun.

"Come one" Mr. Night said leading me towards the blanket, I smiled as I watched him pick something up from the ground. Then he handed me a bouquet of roses. Red roses and a letter. "Don’t open it until you get home" he said while looking away.

I could see him blush, which made me smile. Such a typical human, so emotional. I never really thought this was cute, but everything Mr. Night does is really cute. Everything he does is so much more important to me than if it was another human.

He we sat down on the blanket and he opened up the basket, he brought out plates, spoons, and cups. Then he took out food. As he opened the containers that held the food I noticed he had many different types of food. And a chocolate cake, honestly its cliché, but what woman does not like chocolate cake. I know I do.

We ate, talking about everything, and nothing. The night got darker, and the stars came out illuminating the night sky, it was breathing taking and beautiful.

When we finished eating I helped Mr. Night pack everything up.

"Mr. Night...” I started, but he cut me off by kissing me lightly on the lips.

"Joseph." he whispered before pulling away.

"Joseph...." I tested it. The name sounded amazing. "Thank you for tonight. It was wonderful, I loved it." I said honestly.

He stood up. "It’s not over yet" he said.

I looked at my phone, it was midnight. Wow time flies, I thought to myself

 "Dance with me" he said breaking through my train of thoughts and surprising me.

I stood up and chuckled. "How, there’s no music."

He smiled and walked back to his car, I saw him messing around with his radio before I slow song started to play. I could hear violins and a piano.

Wow this guys really knows how to make a girl feel special.

That made me has a mini flash back.

"Emil, what are you doing? You should be entertaining our guests." my mother said to me.

I nodded quietly and walked to the hall full of suitors. All these men wanted to Mary me, whether for the money, or an actual relationship I did not know. But because I am a woman I have no choose in whom I marry, but I may be able to change my parent’s minds. 

I am in love, and I will not marry and be happy unless I marry the man I love.

I look around the room looking for Edward. My Edward.

"Oh mother, they are having a wonder full time. May I please have this dance with Edward? Then I will dance with whomever you choose."

My mother smiled warmly "go ahead, dance" she said pointing towards Edward. 

I smiled. "Thank you" I said walking towards him. The man that I was completely in love with. So gorgeous with his long brown hair reaching his shoulders, his strong built because of all the manual labor. And those breath taking beautiful grey eyes.

"Hello" I said upon reaching him.

He turned to face me. "Wow Emilia, you look like a woman." he said while smirking.

I nodded. "Edward, I am a woman. Who do you think you have been talking to all of these years?" I said shyly.

I like Edward, always have. I knew I loved him, and I knew I was going to Mary him.

"Well" he said bowing "may I have this dance my sweet Emilia"

I giggled "you may" I said grabbing his hand and leading him to the dance floor.

My thoughts were broken when Mr. Night grabbed me by the waist and began dancing with me. This song reminded me of the dance I had with Edward.

"What’s wrong?" Mr. Night asked me with a worried expression.

"Nothing" I whispered before placing my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat. His human heart beat, the blood coursing through his body.

I would give anything to be human, to love and be loved in return.

And, to be love unconditionally, not feared.

Vampires are feared because we kill, but we kill to survive, not for fun. But if it was up to me, I wouldn’t kill.
