A Familiar Face

It was a soaking rain the kind of rain that if you ran in through it for just one minute you would be drenched from head to toe just as Billy was at this minute.

When she looked up and saw a small reprieve an overhang that was on the front of a store by a curb and a way to get out of the hard drenching rain as Billy rounded the corner she pumped into a man.

She went to apologize right as she went to say something she tripped on the curb and fell the man that she knocked into yelled at her to watch where she was going and left her there on the ground .

She fell harder than expected and lost her glasses while another man observed the whole ordeal he thought with disgust how rude the other man was for not helping the young woman and he helped Billy stand.

He looked at her as he helped her stand he saw that her hair was plastered to her head from the rain he also noticed that her clothing clung to every curve of her body when she was finally standing in in front of him.

The first thing he noticed were her dark green eyes and her long brown hair as she stood she tried looked at the gentlemen that helped her stand but she could barely see him.

Billy said " thank you sir you don't happen to see a pair of black rimmed glasses on the ground do you I can't see very well without them and when I fell they went flying off. "

The Gentleman looked to the ground and saw the glasses bent down and picked them up and said "your glasses my lady."

When she put her glasses on the first thing Billy noticed about this that man that helped her stand was so incredibly handsome.

He had shoulder length brown hair and green eyes just a shade lighter than hers the gentlemen asked "now that you are standing my dear were you injured in any way from your fall ?"

Billy listened to this handsome man asking if she was alright his question brought Billy out of her dreamy state she looked up and chuckled and said "no , no sir thank you, I seem to be quite all right no broken bones.

The gentleman looked at Billy's drenched hair and clothing and said " may I ask what were you doing out in this foul weather Without an umbrella at least ? "

Billy chuckled a little but answered him by saying " I am heading home from the library the weatherman said no rain I should've known better and I left my umbrella at home.

I'm just going to chalk this up for myself as a learning experience besides I only have another mile to go and I'll be safe and sound at home."

The gentleman seemed a little shocked and asked " you're going to walk alone in this weather without any protection from this weather ?

My dear if you stay out in this you will most likely catch pneumonia here please take my umbrella if you do not protect yourself from the weather the chill alone will make you sick. "

Billy quickly answered and said "then that leave you without an umbrella In this chilly rainy weather making you susceptible to being sick no you keep it please I'll be fine I assure you."

The gentleman said "then I insists I walk with you that way we can both share the umbrella and we will both stay dry Billy almost said no but she saw there was something about him she could not figure out and resigned herself.

She said "okay we will both walk to mine and my friends apartment" as they walked further down the street the gentleman wanted to break the awkward silence he asked "now that I am escorting you home I think it might be nice to at least know your name."

Billy smiled and chuckled a bit and said "my name is Wilhelmina but everybody calls me Billy now that you know my name may I have your name as well kind sir ?"

That kind of surprised him and he thought Wilhelmina Mina taking a closer look she did look familiar to him and said "my name is Vlad tepes you said you were at the library do you like to sit and read or was it for something else that you went there for?"

Billy looked over at him and said "I have a school project and I needed to go to library to finish it I'm just hoping all this rain didn't get to my notes or I will have to rewrite them " Vlad said "surely you're not in high school ?

Billy laughed then said "no not high school I'm in college I'm studying to be a teacher I just started school last year I had to go to the library the college library.

I had to do some research for one of the classes I'm taking "Vlad was beside himself she is studying to become a teacher this is more proof.

This is my Mina come back to me so lost in thought that Vlad did not hear Billy ask him a question Billy said "Vlad ?" Vlad said " I am sorry I was lost in thought what was it you ask Min... Billy ?"

Billy said "that's okay I know what it's like to get lost in thought I do it a few times a day at least I just wanted to ask besides save people and taking time out of you day to walk me home what do for a living?"

He answered her by saying "I am traveling at the moment and seeing the world I like meeting new people I also like helping beautiful young woman that fell in horrible weather to get home."

Billy looked up and said "oh wow time flies when you're having fun this is my apartment building thank you so very much Vlad for walking with me and keeping me dry."

Before she could depart Vlad took her hand in his and kissed the back of it Vlad asked "Billy may I see you again I very much like talking to you ?"

Billy almost said no but then she changed her mind and said " I kinda like talking to you to so yeah, Yes if you have a pen and paper I can give you by phone number."

Taking out a pen and paper Billy scribbled on it her phone number Vlad notice she was kind of shivering he said "you're shivering like a leaf sweet Billy.

Go in and get warmed Please do not catch pneumonia I would very much like to see you again but not in a hospital with pneumonia."

Billy chuckled and said " When I get in there I'll take all my wet things off I will get into a nice warm bath and that will make everything right I promise. "

Billy noticed the look in his eye when she said she was going to get out of her wet clothing she thought boys and men but chose to ignore it.

Vlad couldn't help to look her up and down again when she said she would take off her wet clothing because the wet clothing stuck to her so well leaving little to the imagination.

It was not hard for him to see her perfect curves Vlad said "go in and get your warm bath if you do not mind I will call you tonight I would like to make plans to take you out to dinner and see you dry and warm."

Billy said "then I will go in and get a nice warm bath and wait you call kind sir " taking her hand again and kissing the back of it.

Vlad said "until we see each other again sweet Billy" that he he turned and walked back the way they both came to be in front of her apartment Billy stood there for a moment watching him walk away mesmerized.

Then she started shivering even harder so she decided to run up to her apartment she did what she told Vlad she was going to do she went to her room stripped down every bit of clothing.

Ran into the bathroom with a towel around her and started a nice warm bath She never noticing a pair of red eyes that appeared on a small balcony just on the other side of her apartment building

Never being noticed by Billy that she had admirer watching her strip her clothing and get into the bath Vlad thought to himself I was right she is Mina come back to me.

Every curve is as I remembered even the sound of her voice brought back memories he had for gotten from the years that have gone by he made up his mind as he looked at he in he bath you will be mine again My Mina.
