Chapter 2
Selenia woke up the next morning stiff and to the smell of…'bacon?' She sat up and pulled her shirt on. Standing up proved a challenge and when she finally could stand, went to the kitchen following the smell. It was…Jack? Making breakfast?
"Good morning." He said.
"Um, yeah morning."
"I decided to make us breakfast instead of going out today."
"This isn't because of last night is it?"
"No."
He turned around and set down two plates full of eggs, bacon and toast. He looked at her for a second but not long. She still caught the look in his eyes though…hurt. He grabbed to glasses and filled each with OJ. When finished he put the glasses by the plates.
"Bon appetite."
She grabbed a plate and glass then went and sat on the couch. He did the same but sat on the opposite side. They ate in silence and when she finished he took her glass and plate and cleaned them. He came back when he put them in the drying rack and sat right next to her. He turned his head and starred at her. He opened his mouth but then shut it. He looked away. A minute later he looked back again.
"I'm sorry. I sh-shouldn't have done what I did last night. It was…i-inappropriate."
"Don't apologize…"
Awkward silence eloped the two. They didn't look at each other. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it…"
Selenia got up and went to the door. It was a UPS guy, and a cute one at that! He had black-blue hair that went to his shoulders and his bangs covered his eyes. He was average size with broad shoulders. Most likely around 6ft.
"Hello."
"Package." His voice was deep and succulent.
"Okay."
He handed her a clipboard and she signed it. When she gave it back he gave her a box. Huge but light. She wasn't expecting anything so she was completely clueless on what it was.
"Thanks. Have a great day."
"You too." He smiled quickly but she still caught sight of something….his fangs!
He turned leaving her in the doorway watching him drive away. She had just met someone just like her! She went inside and set the box on the island.
"What is it? Jack asked.
Selenia opened the box and found 30-some tapes of…PORN!
"What the hell is this?"
Selenia looked at the name on the box and it was for the previous owner! Who was like 90!
"You got to be kidding me." She said. Jack came and peered into the box.
"Porn? Did you seriously order that?" Selenia punched him in the shoulder.
"Of course not you nit-wit! It says it was for the previous owner."
"Ewwww! He was like 90 years old!"
"I know!"
"That is soo gross. Picture an old man masturbating!"
"Oh god! Don't make me." She laughed.
Selenia closed up the box and carried it to the hallway closet and put it in there.
"Now don't let me find you watching these." She teased.
"Me please…" he looked out the corner of his eye, "I wouldn't let you catch me."
They both burst out laughing. After they settled down Selenia said,
"Okay I think I should get to work."
She headed back to her room and got ready for the days work. She worked at an office for the Jack Link's company. It was boring but had its perks. When she was all done she headed back to the kitchen. Jack was asleep already on the couch.
"Only you my lazy bum."
She walked out to the car and headed to work. She thought of the UPS guy the whole time. A vampire like her. God she wished she would have said something. She'll probably never see the guy again. She got to work and punched in. She checked her sticky notes on her computer. She had a lunch date with a client today at the town café. Yay this will be fun.
The morning went fast and soon lunch was there. And she thanked god. Her fingers were sore from typing all morning. She got ready and headed to the café. She made a mental note to remember the clients name. Which she couldn't pronounce and hoped he would first say it.
The meeting was a waste of time. She ended up getting a call from work saying that the client had bailed. Yippie for her…
"Damn rich people think they can do whatever they want!" she grumbled as she headed back to her car.
When she reached it she realized she had left her keys in it. And it was locked.
"GODDAMNIT! WHY IS THIS SHIT HAPPENING TO ME! First Jack, then the UPS guy and now this!"
"Hello."
She turned around and it was him!
