The life of a Vampire Billionaire

Chapter 7

I take Caitlin to a fancy resturant after I convince her to let me pay for everything.
The waitress leads us to a table that isn't booked and we sit down.
We get the menu with many different variations to choose from handed to us.
Our table is set with fine cutlery, white napkins and a shining candle in the middle. Around us sit vainglorious people who is talking quietly to each other and the resturant is playing calm background music that I hear plainly.

We order the same; A delicious venison, potatoes au gratin, bunch of fresh vegetables in different colors and wine sauce.
When the waitress asks what we want to drink I reply; the best red wine you have and never mind about the price.

"How come you're super rich? You said you don't really have a job...", she says and I don't know how to answer.
There are many reasons to why I have so much money. I have inherited a lot from my ancestors. My family have always been rich because back in time we were actually nooblemen with high status in the society of that time.
Because I'm a vampire, I live for 5000 years and it has given me the opportunity to make a whole lot of investments. Other than that, I own many factories and especially businesses all over the world.
"A lot of my money have passed on to me from my ancestors and you know for example; the clothing company 'The A-ford', I own it.", I say and Caitlin stares at me chocked.
"Oh my god, you do?!", she repeats happy.
"Yeah, I just told you.", I answer, rising my eyebrow and taste the lucious venison that the waitress just put down in front of me.
"I can't believe it! Is there another company you own?", she asks sipping a bit of wine.
"Yes, many." I put my cutlery down on the plate and look at my beautiful date.
"What do you work as?", I ask curious of her normal human life.
"I'm currently working on a journalism company. I write notes to the editors of the newspapers.", Caitlin explains and I think it's fascinating.

As me, Caitlin seems to have a lot to do, but unlike me she doesn't have as much responsibility. At the moment I've hired some trustworthy persons to take care of the majority of paperwork. I also have my own assistant who books and reminds me of important meetings and other necessary events. They are all a part of a working system.

I exmine Caitlins' stunning face as she talks to me. My gaze goes from her crystal blue eyes to her lovely lips. I'm so focused on her that I can't hear the words coming out of her mouth.
"Zane? Are you listening?", she utters, and I wake up from my day dreaming.
"I'm sorry, It's just that you are such a beauty. The most attractive girl I have met.", I claim and she flushes more than she has ever done before when I have complimented her.

"How come you have a british refractive?" Caitlin leans back against the chair and waits for me to explain.
I have already shared more to this girl than I have ever told any human being.
"I lived in London for a couple of years, but Jaxonrose is my home town.", I say as honest as I can.
I lived in London for around 80 years, but I can't tell her that. She thinks I'm around 23 years old, as my look says.

We keep asking each other questions to get to know one another, or at least I'm getting to know her. I can only tell her small parts of my life, without revealing anything that might make her understand that I'm inhuman.

It's sad how quickly midnight arrives and it gets dark outside. Almost all the rich persons have left the resturant and we sit at our table with the candle that soon will burn out.
"If you let me, I would love to give you a ride home.", I ask her after I foot the bill.
"That would be great, thank you."

I drive to the apartments and park the Ferrari outside it. I step out, walk around the car and open the door for Caitlin.
I walk her to the stairwell, like every man should do for their date and she stops outside the door.

"Would you like to come in?", she asks inviting me inside and her body language is very sexual and she definitely has sex drive.
I so want to go inside with her, but I can't. This is wrong, very wrong. She's a human for God's sake.
"I'm sorry but I can't tonight. As you said; I can't leave the Ferrari beside the street, it might get stolen.", I say as an excuse and the corners of Caitlin's lips sinks slowly. "I had a great time.", I confirm and Caitlin agrees.
This would be the moment when I tilt her and give her a magical kiss, but I'm not doing that.
"Good night Miss. Rhodes.", I say and turn around. That second when I move my feet towards my car and hear her opening the door to the stairwell, I feel an urgent desire to kiss her, and it's rising fast.

"Caitlin!", I shout happy to prevent her from going inside.
She closes the door slowly and look at me with an odd facial expression. We are standing three meters away from each other but I can hear her every heart beat. Caitlin stands with her back against the door and watches me get closer. I stop when there is a few centimeters in between us.
I look into her blue eyes and she into mine, and it feels like we are totally alone in the universe.

I still can't smell her blood and it makes me go mad. I want to bite her so bad to find out how it tastes, but I force myself not to.
I lean forward and place my hand on her soft cheek, I feel her pulse rising quickly. She puts her hand on my neck and I shiver.

Our lips are now millimeters away from each others. My heart beats faster and faster. It feels like a big drumming drum roll, waiting for something special to happen. It's drumming quicker and quicker.

My lower lip touches hers and an incredible feeling is coursing through my body.
My warm lips crash down on hers -making my body shake with tingles and my stomach to errupt in butterflies. Right now, in this moment, I'm the luckiest vampire alive.
