The Vampire's Lover

3

If y'all find "the spike" Grammarly did it and I didn't realize the was in front of Spike. And now I can't find it. But I would like to inform everyone that it's not the spike. It's just spike cause that's the vampire's name.

Thank you, I found it. It's fixed. "The spike" is now "Spike" so disregard the message above.

Thanks for understanding.

~~~~~~~~~~

It's been a few days since the ex incident. I have talked to spike a few times at the cafe, only how's his day and my day. We haven't set a time to hang and get to know each other. He is mysterious and very interesting. I guess I could show up at the cafe.

I got up from my bed and took a quick ten-minute shower. Once out I put on a black T-shirt and skinny jeans along with my vans. I grabbed my phone and my keys to the house. I locked up and started my walk to the cafe.

*Spike PoV*

I sensed Nova coming and I smiled as I rushed Sandra to the kitchen for him some water. It's like 90 degrees out. I also had her fix him food. I watched him come in and my world brightened up. He sat down where Sandra put him. I walked over and sat in front of him.

"Hello, Nova. How are you today?" I asked and he looked up from his water. "I'm good and you?" He asked back as I smiled "I'm doing very well."

*Nova PoV*

I smile and nodded "so what are you doing?" Spike asked "oh just thought I drop by," I said and his smile got bigger "I'm glad. What you doing later today say around 5:30?" He asked "nothing. It's the weekend." He chuckled and he sat forward a little in the chair "I was thinking of taking you out to dinner and for us to get to know each other better." I blushed and looked down at my water.

"Uh, well, okay," I said slowly as I was slightly nervous. "There's no need to be scared, Nova. I'm not gonna bite." Spike said as I looked up at him and that heavenly smile still plastered on his face. I relaxed to it, as I nodded. "Okay, I want you to dress comfy but slightly formal," Spike said as he hands me his phone. "Please dear, put your number in my phone." I nodded and did so.

He texts me and I put his name in my contacts. I place my phone down as I finished off my glass of water. "I hope you like the place," Spike said after a few minutes of silence. "I probably will," I say as I met his eyes and it was such a strong look that flashed in his eyes. I nearly fainted once again. It was around lunchtime now people started coming in. "I must go, Andre isn't here to help out," Spike said as he came over and kissed the back of my hand. Leaving me a blushing fool.

I paid for the food and water and went home. I rushed to my room and searched through my closet. Comfy and formal. I found a white button-up shirt and skinny jeans. This should be formal and comfy. I went to the bathroom brushed my hair and changed into the clothes. I have exactly from 1:00 about around 4 hours maybe less.

I brushed my teeth again, just because I can and I'm freaking out. I found my cologne which is extremely light smelling but good to the senses. I placed it down in my room so when I go to leave I can put some on. The right amount of cologne I think is a light spray around the right areas. Not to much spray one spray rather than 3 or more.

I dug for my white converse as I set it next to the door of my bedroom. I place my phone on charge for when I leave. I heard the back door open, indicating mom's home. "Hi, son!" She called up "hi!" I shouted down. She went into the kitchen cause I heard the fridge door shut. I sat down at the edge of my bed near my nightstand.

Spike: pick you up where? Cafe? Your house? The street corner lol.

Me: very funny on the last one lol. I think my house be fine.

Spike: I'll be there by 5:00, it's a bit of a drive.

Me: okay.

I place my phone down. Now my mom knows I'm gay and is fine with it to a certain line that she supposedly has. If the person she thinks might be bad for me she won't like. So, I Hope Spike doesn't give off that expression. Then again, mom works a lot and she may end up sleeping. She goes in about 12:45 am and comes home around 1 pm.

*time skip*

I grabbed my phone and slipped on my shoes and gave a light spray of cologne. I head downstairs, sure enough, mom's in her room sound asleep. I left her a note on her dresser "out I'll be home around 9:40" then I locked the door and got in spikes Dodge Challenger.

We talked about this and that, life. "I had the liberty of getting us both a soda at the restaurant ahead of time. So we can have a drink as soon as we get there." Spike announced "okay," I said as I nervously fidgeted with my shirt. "Everything's okay." He reassured me.

Once we arrived the waiter took us to our seat, which is a booth. I took a sip of my coke, and he did the same a few seconds after. "What will y'all like to eat?" The waiter asked, "I'll have the steak and potatoes." Spike said, "I'll have the chicken and dumplings." He nodded and left. Oh, did I mention the restaurant? Five-star place, the atmosphere is fancy and everyone's very formal. Except, mostly, me and spike. The waiter is very polite and fast.

I fill out of place, but spike is able to relax me somehow. "After the dinner, I had planned on the park so we can talk and get to know each other," Spike said I nodded as our food arrived.

*after the dinner, at the park*

I was sitting next to him on this bench under the street lamp. Almost out of a movie. "Okay, so, Nova I would like to know what you like?" Spike asked as he propped his leg on his knee and faced me. "well, I like to read, video games, and that's about it." He nodded "Spike, I would like to know what you like?" I asked the same question to him. "Work at the cafe, read sometimes, be around you, and that's about it." I nodded with a tint of a blush on my cheeks.

"Hmm, let's see, Nova, do you have any goals in life?" Spike asked me "well, for one become trauma doctor." He nodded impressed "very hard goal but I believe in you." Spike said with a warming smile. "What about you?" I asked "Uh well, my goal is exactly what I have. The cafe and hopefully soon you." He announced with a heart filled smile that anyone would fall for.

"Last question for the tonight for both of us my dear, it's about 8:55." He mentions as he puts his phone down "if I was to tell you a darkest secret that no human ever lived to tell. Would you hate me and not date me?" He asked, "that depends on what it is." I said, "like for example, got arrested." I added he nods "well it will have to wait. Your question." He said as we get up. "Would you ever do anything without permission if I was to let you have me?" He blushes lightly "never. I always will ask for permission." He says.

We got in his car, and by 9:30 I was home. I can't believe we just asked those questions. Now I'm curious about his darkest secret. I changed and shook my head of that thought. Cause I have homework I need to finish for Monday's five classes. I laid down on my bed under the covers as I slowly drift off to slip, my mind going back to the darkest secret as I fell asleep.
