Chapter 3

Bobby POV

When I arrived at home, I changed into something more comfortable before I headed out to the nearest costume shop which was about 10 minutes away from my apartment. I walked into the costume when I was asked by the sales assistant,

"Can I help you sir?"

"I need a costume for tonight"

"It's kind of short notice;" she informed me "I'm not sure what we have got left"

"Whatever you have should be fine, as long as it has a Halloween theme"

"I'll have a look for you," the sales assistant told me as she walked into the back of the shop and started searching though the leftover costumes "sir?" she asked me as she came back out.

"Yes?"

"We have a Dracula costume left"

"What's in the costume in regards to clothes?" I enquired

"There is a pair of black leather pants, a wig, a black shirt and the cape. You can also purchase make-up and false teeth to make it more real"

"I'll take it" I told her "The make-up and teeth as well"

"Don't you want to try it on?"

"No, I think it will fit me just fine" I replied before paying, and I left the shop.

Arriving back home, I decided to take a shower before getting the outfit on. Afterwards as I was trying the outfit on, I made a discovery 'the pants and cape fit but, the top? I looked like a male model from a CK ad'

I headed straight into my closet to find something more conventional (and better fitting).

'Thank goodness I had this in the closet' I thought as I pulled out a black button-down shirt from the closet. After putting the shirt on, I focused on the clothes and put the teeth in as the final touch to the outfit. I had decided to go as Dracula; I was wearing leather pants, a black button-down shirt (with the top 3 buttons undone) and a cape. I had chosen to wear my normal work shoes for they looked good with the costume and were pretty comfortable.

'Wow. I look pretty good in this' I thought as I looked in the mirror before heading into the bathroom to apply the make-up 'I wonder what Alex is wearing. Hope she likes this outfit on me'. At the bathroom counter, I took one look at the make-up and decided that it would be better to wait for Alex to arrive so that she could do it. I began to wonder around the apartment with the false teeth in, so that I would be more accustomed to them when Alex and I went to the party.
