Mystery Man

"Wow, Lawrence sure has taste. This place is stunning." Oliver said, as he set the bags down and closed the hotel room door. I was so exhaust from the long flight yet I was so excited, I hadn't seen Oliver in the two weeks I was at the jailhouse, and I really missed him, things couldn't be better right now.

"Ya, we are going to stick out like a sore thumb. What time is it anyways?" I yawned looking for a clock.

"Almost three in the morning, we better get some shut-eye we have a long day tomorrow. Wow check out this bed!!" Oliver took a running start and jumped on the bed, sending pillows flying everywhere.

His hair fell into his eyes and it took me back to the younger days when we use to sleep in the same sleeping bag, making shadow figures with our hands all night, and I was about to share a real bed with him. I couldn't think of it as best friends sleeping in the same bed, things have changed.

"Babe, come lay down, you are starting to scare me. You look deeply concentrated. Is something wrong?" Oliver was in a pair of gym shorts under the covers inviting me in.

I walked over to my suitcase, and pulled out black and white pj pants and a pink tank top. "No I was just thinking about when we were younger, it's so weird to think we have been best friends this whole time, and now look at us. We are run-aways, staying in Venice." I got under the covers and Oliver put his arm around my back and pulled me close, I wrapped my legs around his leg.

"This is the right thing." He kissed me on the forehead. "Forever."

"Forever" I repeated and brought my lips up to his. He kissed me soft at first, I moved my body closer to his, inviting him to explore more. The kiss deepened when Oliver ran his fingers through my hair and down my backside. He stopped right at the smile of my back and pulled me on top of him. My hair covered our faces; we were lost in the moment. I kissed my way down his collarbone, lingering a moment. I could feel my fangs retract; I smelt his sweet salty blood. I wanted more. No, I needed his blood flowing through my fangs.

"Do it" Oliver moaned. I didn't hesitate. I sunk my fangs into his warm flesh, Oliver let out another moan, and I could feel him go hard. I rode against his body as the blood poured into my mouth. I had to stop; he would be out cold if I did. Pull away Sky. I pulled my fangs out and licked the blood running down his body. Oliver was asleep and would be tell morning.

I laid down next to him; I could feel the bond between us grow. I was satisfied, but scared at the same time. I wasn't sure if this was the right thing for us to be doing, but Oliver was always there for me when I needed him and always would be in the future. So for now all I needed to worry about was sleep.


I woke up around mid-morning the next day; Oliver was still out cold. I'll let him sleep a little longer. In the meantime, I jumped in the shower and got ready for the day, called room service and ordered lunch. Today we were going to go sightseeing and I haven't even planned out where we would go first.

Oliver and I have both only ever been here on business and today was bright and sunny, perfect day for sightseeing. First stop, Piazza San Marco, from there we could go on the Gondolas down the Grand Canal, stop at the Rialto Bride and have lunch.

"Hey, babe." Oliver mumbled out.

"Oh, hey. I was just planning the day out. How did you sleep?" I folded up the map of Venice and went over to the foot of the bed.

"Wonderful. The pleasure of your company always lets me have a good nights rest. Of course your sexual instincts took over last night and put me out cold. I was really enjoying that too." Oliver gave me his half smile and got on his knees and kissed me on the neck, then up to my lips.

"Mmmm, lets just stay here." I said in-between kisses. " I missed you and we have catching up to do." I pushed Oliver down on to the bed and was about to sit next to him when there was a soft knock on the door.

"Of course, I will go get it." I got up off the bed and knew it was room service delivering the food. When I came back, I heard the shower turn on. I ate in silence while Oliver got ready.

"Alright, lets go. First stop the Piazza San Marco. Nice choice, Sky."


We made it to Piazza San Marco and were walking around when a tour guide walked past us. "Let's join in." Oliver said.

"A major building project got underway in the 16th Century, and new stone paving replaced the old bricks in the early 1700s."

"Wow, this place is neat. Who would of thought still to this day a building this old would still be standing." Oliver's mouth was wide open as he looked up into the sky." You are a dork you know that." I bumped into him playfully and grabbed his hand.

"Napoleon called the Piazza San Marco "the finest drawing room in Europe."

We both lingered back from the crowd to make out in-between the squares. "This place is not a teenage love fest get moving." Some idiot blonde tourist yelled at us.

"Come on, let's hit the Gondolas. That's a love fest place." I said to Oliver pulling him out of the crowd. We walked along the boardwalk heading to the first Gondola stop.

"Flower for the miss?" An older gray bearded man asked.

"Sure." Oliver gave the man some money, and placed the white Calla Lily in my hair. "Beautiful." I blushed as he kissed me softly on the lips.

"Thank you," I said sounding like a little girl. I had to pinch myself just to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

"Come on Sky, I am starving." Oliver grabbed my hand and smiled at me. It was real, I wasn't dreaming after all.

We were coming up to some more tents filled with all different kind of products you could buy, and all hand made; jewelry, pottery, art work, wood work. Anything you could think of. I thought the self-portrait paintings looked kind of fun.

"Hey look, let's get a painting done of us. It will give us something to remember of Venice." Oliver suggested.

"Yes, we could use more memories." I laughed jokingly. "Alright let's do it."

We both sat down on the bench and the artist went busily to work. He would dab his brush into a heap of paint and mix paints together and run his brush along the off-white canvas. It was scary to think what the turn out would be, I forgot about the flower in my hair. I wonder if that would be in the painting too? How silly would it look?

"Miss please sit still." The man behind the painting yelled.

"Sorry." I mumbled out. "Um, Ollie doesn't that guy look familiar?" I pointed out of the tent to the west.

"The painter? No, he doesn't."

"No, look outside the tent, he is talking, or yelling at the man in all black. Don't you see him?" I tried to barely move my mouth; I could feel sweat dripping off my forehead. I knew this man from somewhere, if only I could see his face.

"Sky, no offense but all I can see is a white canvas. I don't dare move my eyes." Ollie laughed.

"I am serious, come on turn around idiot." I tapped my foot trying to get the guys attention, even though he was across the street.

"Miss please sit still." The block of canvas said again.

"Grr, if he would just turn around so I could get a good…holy shit." The man turned around and was facing us. Of course he couldn't really see us. But I knew who he was; Lawrence has been looking for him since the last time he fled.

"Ollie! He is right there. Oh my, we have to call Lawrence and get him over here, NOW?"

"Miss please sit down." The angry artist said.

"NO, I won't sit down. This is serious business sir. Oliver come on, we need to follow him." I stood up and went to grab Oliver to follow my lead. But he just sat in his chair, trying not to piss off the artist more.

"Sky, calm down everyone is starring at us. Who is it you see?" Oliver was trying not to move out of his seat but also straining his neck to look outside the tent.

"Its,..Kingsley."
