I trembled, but not in fear, more of cold. I was currently outside, walking towards the heart of Chicago, with my arms wrapped around me. The dress I was wearing was no help, and Mike laughed at my cold expression.
He offered me his coat, and me being too scared to reject him accepted.
"You should have brought a coat." He said as he placed his coat on my shoulders.
"I, dont know where I keep them?" It was more of a question then a answer.
"A trunk in the far back of the wardrobe. All coats are kept there." He stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"Oh, ill keep that in mind." I said bluntly, hugging his coat.
Lavender
I thought as I breathed in the coats scent.
"You have a problem with it? Its my favorite scent." He stated, not once showing he was embarrassed about it.
"Its my favorite as well." I said quietly, he just smiled and outstretched his arm, pulling me closer to him.
"Shh, dont panic. If I let you stray others might take you." He whispered as we passed others wearing outfits as mine and his- more Dandies.
My heart beat started to accelerate as we passed by couples of Dandies. It was obvious that they could smell me clearly- Mike would stiffen and hug me closer.
It took a while until it was just me and him, alone walking the city streets. Yet he still didnt let go.
"This feels nice." He lowly commented as we passed by normal humans, them obviously scurrying away knowing what Mike was- the outfit was always a dead giveaway.
"W-what feels nice, if I might ask?" I questioned hoping that he would not lash out on me.
"You in my arms, your warm; I like the feeling of warmth." He said simply.
"O-oh." I could not make out simple words, cause when ever he was close I would always choke up and stutter.
"Why do you fear me? Can't we be friends, without you thinking I'm going to bite you every few seconds. And dont deny it, cause remember. I literally know what your thinking." He smiled letting his fangs fully show.
"That, is why I'm scared." I said simply, and I was surprised I did not stutter once in the small sentence I had said.
"My fangs are mere teeth. Retracting them hurts too much, and yes I can feel pain even when being dead. There are something's I feel, and others I dont." he said answering the question that had been floating in my head.
"Alright, ill try to ignore the fact that you are a- you know." I couldnt bring myself to say the word.
"Okay, then lets start with proper introductions." He said stopping in the middle of the sidewalk and letting go of my upper form.
"My name is Michael Stephan Carden; just call me Mike; its a pleasure in meeting you." He bowed taking my hand and placing a small tender kiss on it.
"I-" I shook my head and cleared my throat, I could feel my cheeks burn red.
"I'm Elizabeth Marie Jorgensen-your free to call me whatever nickname you can make out with my name, and it's a pleasure in meeting you as well." I said slowly trying not to stumbled on my words.
"May I take your hand in marriage?"
Your shitting me.
I stared wide eyed at him.
"I'm not shitting you, dear. I'm dead serious." He said grabbing my hands in his.
"I as well need to keep my bloodline going. I'm assuming you already know your roll in all this." He said as if we were having a normal conversation.
I desided to drop my full guard, and talk as if there was no tomorrow.
"Look dude, I'm way too young to get married. And besides youre a vampire, I cant marry you. I dont know you, for all I know you'll kill me the first night- why are you smiling? I dont find this funny, what are you doing? Dont you dare-
I couldnt continue my speech, because a certain someone's lips were glued to mine.
Mike I cant breath!
I thought.
He quickly retracted and smiled.
"Why dont you loosen up and talk to me like that? Its more, attractive." He said stepping closer.
"Cause I was too scared. But apparently now I know your just like a hormonally challenged human boy; just in fancy clothing." I told him rolling my eyes and tapping my foot impatiently on the concrete floor; the heel of my shoe clicking.
"What ever you say, Honeydip." He sarcastically said taking my arm and looping it with his.
Honeydip?
Ill let that slide, cause I actually like it.
He smiled.
Ill give you this...
