I was showering; on the day of my date with Dracula, I heaved a sigh, running my hands through my wet hair. I grabbed my razor and shaved quickly. I turned around and turning off the shower. I pulled away the curtain, grabbing my towel, wrapping it around my waist. I gripped my hair and rung it out water wouldn't drip onto the towel and make it useless for drying. I brushed my teeth quickly, then took out the blow dryer and dried my hair. Picking up my yellow hair band, I pulled my hair back into a pony tail. Dracula and I weren't going to do anything to drastic, just walking around the city park. I pulled on my shorts and lilac tank top, exiting the bathroom, I descended the stairs and Dracula sat in the recliner, Erik sat on the couch, his arms crossed over his chest. They both looked up upon my arrival. Dracula smiled, standing, I took the last step and landed on the lament flooring meant to look like wooden flooring.

"Ready to go?" Dracula asked, I smiled at him, pulling open the door in front of the stairs that was used as a coat closet. I pulled out my All-Stars and pulled them on, tying them. I stood.

"I am now." I told him. Dracula smiled. He grabbed the keys. I glared at him and snatched them away.

"You don't have a license." I told him. He raised an eyebrow, taking the keys back.

"Says who?" I He asked. I rolled my eyes as he pulled out a driver's license.

"When the hell did you get that?" I asked.

"We got bored one day when you were at college, so, we got driver's license." Dracula told me. I looked over his shoulder to Erik.

"Really?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. Erik gave me a look and shrugged. I glared at him momentarily, he was pouting, I sighed, turning, I left the house and out to the pollen covered black Monte Carlo. I winced as I noticed it was almost bumble bee yellow. I sighed and got in the car. Dracula followed me closely after, he sat down heavily, and started the car. He looked at me through his reflecto sunglasses. I could tell by his frown that he knew something was wrong.

"What's up?" He asked. I looked out the window, I reached down to the pocket and grabbed my own sunglasses and put them on. Looking at him, I looked at him and smiled.

"Nothing, I'm waiting to go to the park, but that includes you driving to the park, but if you keep bugging me about nothing, that'll never happen." I told him sarcastically, Dracula smirked and backed up the car and got on the road.

"Do you want to pick up something to eat before we start walking the trails at the park?" Dracula asked me. I shrugged.

"Why not." I told him.

"Where do you want to go?" He asked. I thought for a second, picking my mind for something I had a taste for that day.

"What about a burger?" I asked him. Dracula shrugged.

"Where at? He asked me. I huffed.

"Why so many questions?" I asked him. Dracula smiled and laughed.

"Why don't you just answer my first question?" He replied.

"Uhg, Five Guys." I told him.

"Now was it that hard?" Dracula asked.

"Yes." I replied. Dracula chuckled again going to the outlet in town we pulled in front of Five Guys and Dracula turned off the car and I got out as Dracula did. We entered the restaurant and approached the counter.

"You know it's nice not to be gawked at every time I enter a populated space." Dracula whispered in my ear. I smiled and ordered. I went to get a seat as Dracula waited for our order to be ready. I sighed, looking out the window. I watched the cars zip by in blurs of color, my head propped on my fisted hand.

"You look so cute like that." I heard Dracula's voice behind me, I looked to him, he had the brown paper bag in his hand and a smile on his handsome face, I returned his smile.

"Thanks." I replied. Dracula sat down across from me pulling out our food.

"Geez, do they give us enough French fries, what are we, fatties?" Dracula asked. I giggled at his smart ass remark. He gazed at me through his lashes, smiling.

"I figured that'd make you laugh." He told me.

"Dude, I laughed when you called the Bible propaganda…" I told him, almost fighting my smile, ending up failing, I laughed quietly. Dracula fought a smile as well. But as I did, ending up failing, and laughed with me.

"See I'm not as annoying as you think I am." Dracula told me. I smiled wider, taking a sip of my soda.

"Who said I thought that you were annoying?" I asked him.

"No one had to tell me." He replied. I rolled my eyes. For some reason, my mind drifted off to Erik, sitting alone at my house. God, I felt guilty as hell. I dropped my smile, looking away from Dracula.

"Okay, now I know something is wrong, what is it?" Dracula asked. I looked to him.

"I feel bad." I told him.

"About what?" He replied.

"Leaving Erik alone like that, don't you feel bad?" I asked him

"A little." He replied, though he said yes, his eyes said no they remained careless, I sighed, attempting to shrug it off, but I couldn't, it was too hard, I was too much of a die-hard phangirl to let Erik sit at my house alone, I was supposed to be watching him and taking care of him until Casey found her galactic jumper. I shook my head, giving Dracula a look, he seemed to understand.

"I'm so sorry, but, Dracula, you may not have a conscience, but I do, and its nagging." I told him. Dracula took a drink from his soda, standing, he put the food back in the sack and we left the restaurant.

"I'm sorry." I muttered as we got in the car.

"It's fine, I admit, I haven't had a conscience myself since, well, you know." Dracula told me.

"I know, but you were looking forward to this, and I ruined it." I replied. Dracula looked at me.

"Heather, I'm fine, maybe we can find Erik someone and he can join us on another date." Dracula told me. I sighed, that idea sounded good, but the more I thought about it, I didn't want the girl to join Erik on a date to be just anyone, I wanted her to be me.
