" Hello miss Lyla." Daisy says as I enter the café.
" Hey!" I greet her happily with a hug. She hugs me back with a soft pat.
" Ready for work?" She asks with a smile.
I nod, then start to get ready. I really do love this job. It's something about the aroma of coffee and the mostly friendly people. I'm not sure why, but I love it here. A customer comes in and sits on the bar part. I let him get situated before asking him what he'd like. I write it down and give the order to James. He gives me a sweet smile before completing the order.
The day goes by slow, caused by the rare absent of customers.
" How have you been?" James asks as we're closing. I smile over at him.
" Great! How about you?" I ask, catching up. He grins.
" Well, thank you. You seem to have some type of glow today." He smirks with a wink. I feel the familiar warmth spread across my cheeks.
" Oh." I reply quietly. He just laughs.
We continue to have small talk while finishing the dishes and closing the café. Daisy left a littler early today so juste and James for now. As we leave, I switch the sign and lock the doors.
" Goodnight." I call to James.
" Goodnight Lyla." He replies with a nod.
It's five o'clock now and Xavier said he'd come to get me at around 7:30. So I decide to take me a shower, then I change into a knee length burgundy dress. It's strapless and has a black loop around the waist. I wear my ruby red earrings and necklace to go along with it and paint my nails the same color of my dress. After that I slip on some flats and tie my hair up in a cute but messy bun. After looking in the mirror, I decide there's no point to wear any make up.
------------------------
The doorbell rings at seven and I see Xavier standing in a nice button up shirt and jeans. He looks so good, he could probably make a trash bag look good. He glances up and down my body and I give a quick goodbye to my parents before following Xavier out to his car. He has a black corvette. It's nice too, tinted windows, and seat warmers/coolers with a good radio.
" I didn't know you drove." I say as he gets into the car. He laughs.
" I do... Just sometimes go too fast." He grins. I give a nervous glance towards him. Is this safe? "Buckle up." He laughs.
I do as he says. Once the car is started he takes off at 40mph. Too fast is an understatement. He's flying! He's going 80 in a 50!
" Slow down!" I yell as he takes on a curve.
He slows down a little to 60. I catch my breath and glare at him. He raises an eye brow at me but doesn't say anything. We pull up to his apartment parking lot and I get out quickly. I am never letting him drive again. He gives me a sheepish smile.
" I'm sorry..." He says quietly, taking me in his arms. I just shrug at him. I'm not mad at him just don't like going fast in cars at all.
" It's whatever." I reply and he leads me into his apartment.
I smile at the neatness of the living room and kitchen. He shuts the door behind him and locks it then turns towards me.
" What would you like?" He asks sweetly. I shrug before replying;
" Whatever is fine with me."
He grins and goes into the kitchen and I sit down on his couch. It sinks in and is so soft. Just as I'm getting comfy, Xavier calls my name.
" Yes?" I ask and turn towards him.
" Come here." He says.
I give an inward sign before getting up. That couch is so comfortable. Forgetting about the couch, I go into the kitchen and Xaviers facing away from me.
" Xavier?" I ask quietly.
He's doing something with a bowl, like mixing. After a few seconds he turns and puts, what I now know is, cookie dough on my nose. I raise my eyebrow at him and cross my arms. He grins, almost as if he was a little child.
After getting a paper towel and removing the cookie dough from my nose, I get a spoonful and put it on Xavier's nose. An uncontrollable laugh escpaes mouth at his reaction. He starts laughing too, before making the batch of cookies and putting them in the oven.
" Let's watch a movie." Xavier says grabbing my hand and pulling me to the couch. I smile.
" Okay." I say, sitting down and getting cozy beside him.
-----------------------------------
That's what my night consists of. Xavier and I cuddling on the couch and watching a movie, while eating the batch of cookies he made. We watch movie after movie until I fall asleep against Xavier.

Heart Beats ✔
Vampire[EDITING] A heart beat is what keeps us alive. By definition, it is the pulsation of the heart. Without it we're nothing, we're dead. Well at least that's what I thought...
