Chapter 16; Shopping

Anne was ready to leave and was now waiting for Dracula, sitting on her bed, her hands shaking on her lap. The bedroom door finally open. He smiled to her and held out his hand for her to take it.

Cautiously, she raised up and approach. Her hand was almost touching his, but she quickly retrieved it and placed it on her side, bowing her head. He knew she would soon take his hand, and that would be the first step. She let him touched her more than once, but she never did herself. Once she will do it on her own will, that would mean she's ready or close to it.

-Come, the driver is waiting for us. He said

-A driver?

-Yes. He answered simply

Outside, there was a black car waiting for them and the driver opened the door to them with a shaking hand. Anne knew he wasn't a vampire, for he was far too scared of Dracula to be one of them. Anne entered the car first, followed by her jail keeper. He sat beside her, taking her hand in his, which made her a bit uncomfortable.

-How am I suppose to call you? She asked in a whisper

-What do you mean?

-I can't call you Dracula or mister vampire or it will look quite crazy…you know.

-Hmm, then call me…let me think…what about James? That sounds British enough doesn't it?

Anne nodded not knowing what else she could do. After fifteen minutes, they arrived in front of a little boutique, in the middle of London. The car came to a stop and the door opened. Dracula was the first to get out and Anne followed.

A girl was closing the glass door of the boutique as Dracula approach.

-Sorry sir, we're closing. She said

He looked at her right in the eye and she giggled, unlocking the door the second after that, letting the new customers in. Anne felt odd. Dracula had obviously used some power on that seller that must be around sixteen. Why did he never used those tricks on me? She wondered as the man was leading her to the back of the shop.

Dracula looked around and took from a display stand a pair of jeans that had one leg embroidered with complicated floral pattern. He turned to another stand and took another kind of jeans. Those were black with red beads on the waistband and on the hems of both legs.

Giving the pants to the seller, she place them in one of the booth on the left of the store. The man continue to look around, not asking to Anne what she might like. He seemed to know her taste perfectly.

He chose a crimson skirt and was now choosing for some shirts and blouses that would advantage her curves. He then saw some kind of corset and knew he wanted to see his beloved in that. It was deep blue with black embroidered gothic patterns. The seller returned and he gave those clothes to her as well, then turned to Anne.

-Try those on. We shall look for shoes after that.

Anne entered the booth and tried the first pair of jeans and one of the wrap over top that was reveling a little to much of her for her taste. As soon as she had the pants on her butt and the shirt on her boobs, she heard a soft knock on the door.

-Do they fit? The vampire asked

-Yes Dra…James, they fit. She mumbled

-Then show me.

She reluctantly unlocked the door and opened it. Dracula smiled as he took her hand to make her turn around a little, to see if it was indeed a fit. He then drag her in front of a full length mirror. She gasped for she saw herself, but not the man behind her.

-See how gorgeous you are my love. I don't want you to hide your body from me anymore.

She shivered for the hundredth time in a week.

Almost two hours passed, Anne showing Dracula her clothes every time she was trying them on. Then, he make her sit in front of him. While she was changing for the last time, he had chose some shoes. There was court shoes, t-strap shoes, ankle boots, thigh boots, fashioned toe-strap. Every kind of shoes was there for her to try on.

He gently put them on her foot, make her walk a few steps and finally decided to take one of each sort. And another set in another color. So, now, she had all those shoes in black and red.

When they were finish, they had 20 bags with them and the seller told them it would cost 1295$.

-Anne, get to the car, it wont take long. Dracula said, motioning for her to go

When she was out of sight, the vampire turned to the other girl who was waiting for him to pay. Dinner is served. He thought, as the girl smiled to him, as if she was waiting for him to ask her out.
