What a show!

It's been a while since the Cirque Du Freak came to town. I remember the first time I went to this show, I was so young, but I remember most of what was in it. I remembered quite a bit actually, seeing as my friend and I saw it when we were about eight. I know it was really early to see such a thing as the Cirque Du Freak, but hey I'm adventurous! Now I'm fifteen and the Cirque is back in town, so why not go see it again? I was going to go with my other friend who went with me last time ( We were best friends by the way... we were great friends from the first day we met in Drama class.) But she was acting in a big play that I had no interest in. It was weird, I usually loved acting. Though the type of play they were doing this year really wasn't my thing. Although, right now I'm pretty happy I'm not involved because it would disrupt my plan to go visit the Cirque again. I went to the booth where I got the tickets from last time, and I was not surprised that it was at the same venue. ( That is why I went to the old theater in the first place)

The day went by extremely slow. I just wished all afternoon that it would be night already and I could finally go to the greatest show ever. My wishing occupied quite a bit of time, so my wish came true. Soon enough I was invited into the theater by a tall man. I remembered him. Then the show finally started. During the show I was remembering the acts I seen and the ones I was currently watching. It looked as though there was no change in any of the acts... although a person that was helping the man with the spider was different. He looked around my age (Which was fifteen) and was actually quite cute. I felt myself blush slightly as I thought about that. The act was just as astounding as it was before and actually maybe a little bit better due to the fact that the man with the spider had a hot assistant. What I didn't know is that I was about to know more about that boy than I'd ever thought I would.

The ending of the show was the same, the snake-boy appeared. I of course was not shocked, because I seen what was coming but the reactions on the faces of others were priceless. I bet I looked like that when I was younger, but it's rather enjoyable now. Everyone exited the building after it was announced that it was the end, but I decided to stick around. That is when I saw him again, the assistant...

"Hey, Can I help you pack up or something?" I asked him walking towards the stage.

" Umm.. Actually we're not clearing out until tomorrow, but you're welcome to stay if you'd like?" He said, well rather asked. It sounded like a question to me. And he sounded nervous too....

"That would be nice, I'm Marisa," I said offering him my hand to shake, and I put a smile on my lips.

"I'm Darren," He said as he returned the smile and took my hand into his.

After we started talking, and I mean talking. We were talking about music and things that we were both interested in. I kept looking into his beautiful eyes now and then and he would blush occasionally. I wondered why, but I just assumed that he is the shy type....

"You have really intriguing and beautiful turquoise eyes..." Darren started. I blushed furiously.

"Thank you, your quite the charmer hu? " I asked then laughed. Hoping it would take away the attention of my blushing face.

"I try,"He said then laughed and I noticed something... Something my Vampire obsessed friend told me. His fingers.. he's a... a.....

" Vampire!" I said out loud wishing my stupid moth would keep shut sometimes...

"How did you?"He asked not shaken by my outburst.

"My friend is it true..." I started, and blushed again. I felt like a complete idiot. I ruined a perfect romantic moment to should out Vampire?!

"Yes," Darren said as he grabbed for my hand.

He explained everything, and showed me some of the things his vampirism allowed him to do. He also told me about how he was not a full Vampire yet. It was all so new, but I felt safe still with him. This was the most weird, and amazing day ever. It was like a dream, but you didn't wake up from it. The strange thing is, that I actually believed Darren, and liked him more because he trusted me enough to tell the truth. Not realizing what I was doing I leaned in towards Darren and put my lips to his. He paused but then actually kissed me back! I was shocked, but happy at the same time. His hands tangled into my beautifully natural wavy hair, and I smiled into the kiss. Before I knew it the kiss was over. We talked more until Darren noticed that I was falling asleep. I noticed somebody gently pick me up and put me into something that seemed like a hammock. I also noted that somebody kissed my forehead gently and whispered: " Sleep good beautiful,".

I woke up and noticed a sleeping Darren in a hammock beside me. I looked at my surroundings; they seemed to be a tent... My thoughts were interrupted by Darren getting up.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you," I said walking over to him.

"Thanks for the accommodations," I added. I wasn't worried that my mom would get mad about me not coming home, because I told her some fake story about me staying over at a friend's house. So that was taken care of...

"Don't mention it, you looked tired," Darren said as he grabbed my hand.

"What are you doing later today?"He asked looking into my eyes.

"Nothing, though I should get home..." I said noting that it was already noon. I told my mom I'd be home by one!

" Would you like help me clean up after the show tonight? We could make it fun,"He said with a smile. I remembered last night when I asked to help.

"Sure," I said with a smile then said my goodbyes to Darren. I decided that I should have done something else so I ran back up to Darren and jumped into his arms. I then kissed him passionately and then started to walk back with a giant smile on my face.

"See you tonight," I said as I turned back to a now blushing Darren. During my walk home I was thinking what a night... What a show! The Cirque Du Freak should come here more often...

Hope you liked it. =)

R&R??

Lots of love,
