Chapter 19; Packing

The day went slowly. Anne decided to pack her things, starting by removing everything from the drawers and the closet and folding her clothes neatly.

Dracula couldn't sleep as he usually do during the day. How could a creature like him could be that excited about something, he didn't know. He hated and enjoyed those feelings at the same time. Choosing not to sleep at all, he raised from his bed and went to his beloved's room, to check what she was doing.

When he saw her, concentrate on what she was doing, he thought she had never been more beautiful. Knowing that she was willingly preparing her things to go with him, made him even more happier.

As he had done every time he was near her and wanted her to know his presence, he let her feel it, as not to scare her or making her jump or whatever. Anne turned her head toward him, stopping what she was doing.

-I…I'll need something to put my stuff in. She said, her voice barely above a whisper

-I will give you a trunk. He smiled. For now, just leave your things there and come here.

Dracula took both of her hands in his and remarked that she had stiffened at this contact.

-Stop being afraid of me Anne. It's getting annoying.

-I am sorry. She answered

He found it quite endearing that she could apologize for such a thing.

-You know, when we'll be at our new home, I will buy some horses and teach you horse riding. He exclaimed. Would that make you happy?

Anne nodded shyly. She had always love horses, but never saw one closer.

-Why did you chose me…? She asked, her voice barely audible

-I don't even know myself. You drawn me to you and it was not only your beauty.

-I am not beautiful.

That made him smile. He had saw what people of her time were finding beautiful. Skinny blondes, stupid women. Anne for her part, had some meet on her bones. Her body was perfect to him. She had a nice curves where it was more important, yet, nothing exaggerated.

-Yes you are my love, in many more ways than only your physical aspect. You have made a creature like myself love a mortal. And live without you now that I have found you, will drive me crazy.

This time, Dracula couldn't help himself from taking Anne's face into his hands, locking eyes with hers as his lips came closer to hers. He saw her close her eyes and their lips finally met. He kissed her only a moment before he brake it, quite satisfied that she had indeed whimper in deception when they parted.

-It is getting late. Finish what you were doing and try to rest. We will go tomorrow night.

Dracula get out of the room and came back a minute later with a huge trunk which was already half filled with his own things. Anne placed her clothed in it and changed for the night into a warm pajamas.
