Elijah's Pov

Three months have passed. I have a new job, and a new apartment that is actually a floor below Demi's. I am still having those dreams. I have not mentioned any of them to Demi though. I was currently sitting behind a bar, counting the money before the night shift started. Yes. I got a night job so other supernatural creatures were not as suspicious. I finish counting and place the money back into a bag and go to put it away. I hear someone walk in and head back to the front. I see Demi walking in, running a hand through his hair as he looks around. A smile forms on his face as I approach him.

"Hello Elijah. Didn't expect you to be here," he states with a smirk, sitting down on a stool. I glare at him, and he only chuckles in response. "You know I work here, you dimwit." He puts a hand over his heart to pretend he is hurt by my insult. "Ow. That hurt." I sigh, grabbing my apron that was draped over the chair and put it on. He groans, seeing me getting read to start working. "Ellliii.." I look up at him with an arch eyebrow. He has started to call me Eli. Especially when he gets mad or frustrated at me. I am still not use to it. "You have worked every night. Why can't you take one night off? I...um.. wanted to take you out...," he finishes off with his voice lowering as he gets closer to the end of the sentence. If it was not for my excellent hearing as a vampire, I would have not heard it. "Demi. I need the money." He sighs, his head falling to the bar. He does not say anything for a long time so I sigh in defeat and head towards the back to ask my boss for the night off. He hesitates at first, not wanting to say yes. But I made a point by saying I have worked every night for the past two months with one or two days off. He agrees. I take my apron off as I approach the break room and hang it up in my spot. I grab my jacket, pulling it on and wrap my scarf around my neck. I then pull my hat on along with my gloves as I walk towards the front to retrieve Demi.

I smirk, knowing he isn't expecting me so I go around to where I am behind him. I lean down next to his ear and say "Boo!" He jumps up, falling out of his seat. I use my vampire speed without anyone noticing to catch him. I laugh at his expression. He only glares and hits my chest really hard. "Hey. I just saved you from hitting your head." I rub my chest and he crosses his arms over his chest. "But it is your fault I fell in the first place." We are both silent before I realize I am still holding him. "Uhh... can you let me go now, Eli?" I look down at his blushing face and quickly do as asked.

"Well...um.." I rub the back of my neck. "Would you like to take me out? I got the night off. And tomorrow." He nods, leading the way. We walk out onto the street, Demi not saying much of anything to me. I sigh, thinking I have screwed something up between us two. I look up, admiring the snow and I feel a bit at ease. The last few months fading away. Even if it was for a little while. At least I was with someone who understood what it was like to lose your memories. I look back down to see Demi staring at me with a fond look. He blushes, quickly looking away and pretending I did not just catch him staring. I walk up next to him, "You know Demi. If you take a picture, it will last longer." I state proudly with a smirk. He only blushes more, elbowing me in the side. "Bastard."

"No such thing." We both continue to walk, talking about random things. We reached a street with both sides full of trees with lights in them. It was absolutely beautiful. (Not as beautiful as the boy beside me but still.) He takes hold of my hand, which took me by surprise and leads me into the park to walk around and admire the view. We walk around for a while then stop. "What is it Demi?" He shrugs, looking up at the sky. I see him breathe out, still looking incredibly beautiful. I discreetly pull my phone out and snap a picture of him. He glances over at me. "Seriously? Do you have a thing for taking pictures of me?" I nod with a smirk and head for the grass before he can get me. He obviously has been practicing on running because the next thing I know, I am pinned to a tree. "Do you really want to mess with me, Elijah?" He whispers into my ear. I for sure do not get cold but his voice just made me shiver. "Definitely."

He puts a hand on my cheek, looking into my eyes. Despite it being cold, his hands were very warm with no gloves on. "You are something, Elijah James." I smile faintly as he starts to lean closer to my face. Before I know it, his lips are on mine. I close my eyes, enjoying the moment. His lips were full and warm. I think I just fell even more for him. (If that was even possible.) He pulls away, looking at me while breathing hard. "T...that was amazing. Sorry I did that though." I chuckle, "I kissed back. No reason to apologize." His face was red and I found it adorable. "I really like you Elijah." I smile at him. "I like you too. Now kiss me again, you dimwit." He smiles brightly, leaning back down to kiss me and wraps his arms around my waist. I wrap mine around his neck. This has to be the most lovely day ever.
