Chapter 5: Get Vampire or Fashion?

Marc's pov.

I thought I know all about him. But here, now, standing in front of the person who I now call my boyfriend, was reading a magazine. Not just any magazine. A fashion magazine, with flowers and girls and tips and stuff. I rarely read them even though Megan has a big bunch of them. I couldn't imagine Lyric being a fashion freak, as far as I know him. But he is reading it alright and seems to be concentrating hard. We just entered the mall and our first stop was the 7-11 shop. He bought the newest issue of the fashion magazine called, The In-Fashion. I was deadly surprised but just waited for him. We then sat on a bench in the centre of the mall. He was reading the magazine while looking at me. I wonder what his thinking about. I was just about to go and buy some ice-cream for us when suddenly he stand up and caught my hand. I looked at him, surprised then we began to move. We walked while he lead me to popular fashion store that has French-style clothes. And another surprise I learned, he can spoke quite a bunch of different languages. He talked super-fast with the sales-girl in French then the girl nodded her head and quickly made a hand gesture to follow her. I just followed them, as let myself being lead by my boyfriend.

We passed some doors before we arrived at the end of the hallway. There was only one door left and looks like that the one we have to go. She knocked the door three times before the door opened. A twin heads popped out of the door and there stand in front of us, the most popular designer twin in Beverly Hills. OMG! I know I don't read those crappy magazine, but I'll be dumb enough to not know the two youngest yet most popular designer in USA! I mean, even my favourite star ( yes, I have one) wear their design. Though it's because of them, Megan thought we could become fashion designer too. I put a big 'NO!' at that and she finally realize it after a week, being tired from telling it to me all the time. The popular designer twins are Ronald and Roselphia. They are Beverly Hills Twin that were born there but was raise in Russia in the age of 5. They design was so popular that they became the top twin designer in just two months. Believe it?

I stood next to Lyric, surprise shown all over my face. I was speechless. Lyric hold my hand and lead me into their fashion room. I thought they were on vacation, according to the news. Ronald and Roselphia smiled and quickly hugged Lyric, speaking French with each other and smiling like they have been old friends that haven't met for a long time. Maybe they are.

"Ron! Rose! So good to see you as hyper as ever~." He smirked at them.
"Aye,aye! We've been busy. And then suddenly! Inspiration hit us when we were on our two weeks holiday!" said Ron.
"We can't wait to show our new design to the people and mostly, our adoring fans!" Rose said with a hint of British accent. They turned their head and finally saw me, standing a little away from them. "And who is this lot?"
"Who, this?" Lyric suddenly pulled my arm, wrapped his arm on my waist and raise me up a little, making my feet lift off the ground and almost the same height as him.
"This beautiful angel is my moonlight for my darkness." I couldn't help but be surprised and embarrassed of this. The two was shocked before laughing.
"Aye, lad. You certainly a romantic guy but try to keep a low profile, k?"
"Oh my dove! You finally found someone who you like after four years becoming your best friends. Let me see him." She tugged my arm, pulling me away from Lyric's embrace. I kind of frown a little, but he smiled at me making me smiled back.

She held me down by the shoulders and look at me for a long time. She suddenly kissed both of my cheeks and shouted at her twin. "Magnifiet! He's rare like the bluest coral in the ocean! You truly found a good mate, Ric."
"Ric?" I looked at him and he was blushing red from the name. He looked away and muttered that sounded like, 'It's my old name I used with my friends.' I can't help but giggled at his face and BE surprised when a girl squell erupted next to my ear.
"And a cute pie too!" She said. I know I can't help but be more red than ever. They quickly pull us by our hand, Rose on me and Ron on Lyric's.
A small yet beautiful living room was present and it was full of colors. We seated ourselves on a love seat while they sit on their individuality one person sofa. They looked like a designer as well, wearing newest fashion clothes and hairstyles but still holds a drop of designer personality.

Lyric wrapped his arm around me so we were seated comfortably and near to each other. A butler came and brought us a tray of tea. He poured some tea for us and bow before left. Rose and Ron drink their tea before starting.
"So, my darling Lyric. What brings you here to our store?" She asked. I looked at Lyric. He held my right hand with his before answering them.
"I want you guys to help me and Marc with our Halloween costumes."
I looked at him, shocked. That's enough surprise for me, please. They looked at us briefly before considering it. Then, while quietly whispered to each other , they nodded.
"You got our help, but with one condition!" she said.
"And what is that?" I said. They suddenly smirked and I felt both of us were deep in trouble. So~ deep!

I thought it could be worse, but it did. They planning to make our costume but in one condition. Girls stuff on me. You know what it means? We have to wear make-up! Make-Up! Girl's Make-Up! They said to add flavor and what's worst you say? We have to be apart tomorrow! Meaning after the sleepover, we have to meet Ron and Rose (they let me call them) and be separate for the whole day until the party. Lyric's with Ron and I'm with Rose. I'm a little freak out but I think I'll survive. Lyric invited them to the party and they agreed. He tried to pay them, but they declined immediately and tried to blackmail us if we do! We were kicked out of the store in a flash and left thoughtless of what will happen tomorrow. We got up and went to an ice-cream parlor to buy ourselves some ice-cream. We walk home while eating our ice-cream. I suddenly felt bored and zero in my mind. I just sighed and suddenly felt tired all about this. The sucking to WHOOP, the internal hate for Tammy, the costumes and most of all, his love that making my physical body felt tired, but mental is never! I Just can't get enough of him. I suddenly found myself being carried bridal style while thinking and can't help myself to yelp! He laughed out loud when I tried to hit him from time to time. He just kept carrying me until I gave up. My hands were dirty from the ice-cream and it seems he didn't even care about it. I smiled and played with his hair while humming a nameless tune. He purred as a slight breeze brush us, a warm breeze before winter. He sometimes paused to ask direction and I showed him, but I still feel happy and satisfied with just this. Life is great.

Correction: Sometimes, life is a pain in the neck. Kind yet hard! That's life for you!

This is bad! Standing in the middle of the living room that look like a living mess with the mess all under my feet is still okay. But! Standing in the middle of the living room that look like a living mess with the mess all under my feet WITH MY BOYFRIEND holding my hand and sitting in his own silence and awkward world is reaching the limits. BUT adding my idiots brothers and sister fighting over a lousy magazine on the fallen sofa, making me feel embarrassed in front of MY boyfriend just broke the steam!

Without any rational thought, I roared at them and attacked. Fighting is normal in a family. Fighting with your brothers and sister in kung-fu moves is NOT normal. But hey? They started it and fighting is what they doing. So the only way to stop a spy fight is a mature and older spy. Kicking and fusing around is in. I kicked myself out of the fight after getting the lousy magazine they're fighting for. I breathed in and … "EENNOOUUGHHHHHHH!"
They finally stopped after realizing the magazine was gone and me standing in front of them with an anger face, crossing my arms and tapping my foot. They whimpered as I intensified my glare.

"What ARE you Fighting for?" I growled each word and looked at the magazine and what to be surprised to see Lyric standing next to a handsome man in suit with his brothers…. Wait!? I looked back and how could I NOT be surprised? Lyric standing there with his dad and brothers ( I presume) , looking hot in a black blue suit. I almost drooled if it weren't for Lyric hugging me from behind and holding the magazine in front of me because my hands were shaking.
"Is it a bad thing knowing my dad is a rich guy or something else?" he whispered the last word. I blushed, knowing my secret is out but those tantalizing lips sitting close to my eyes. I closed my eyes and cover my face when he laughed. Lee, Megan and Tony looked at us in interest but suddenly looked down when I glare at them, a blush still present. Lyric just laugh again and hug me closer to his body. I felt comfortable so I leaned into him without thinking.

Just then, my bad luck just added without me saying, 'what could go wrong?' Life is so unfair. Stepping inside the house, talking automatically happy and cheerful was my mom and dad, Karen and Cal Clark. They were talking about business and just about to greet us, if it weren't for the mess. Lee, Megan and Tony hide on the fallen sofa while I hide behind Lyric. Lyric just looked at them, curiously.

"What on earth happen to the living room?" she shouted to us. Dad looked casually at us while mom got angry. She's really~ scary when she's angry. "I came home to see tell a great news to the family and what do I see? Honestly, what did you guys…" she trailed off when she saw me and… Lyric. I forgot! She didn't know I had a boyfriend yet! I tightened my hold on Lyric's arm when Mom's attention was us. I tried to take him to our guess room but he stood on his ground. Mom walked closer to us and studied us: her word for watching her precious children. "Who are you?" she said while smiling. I guess her temper wasn't that high considering that me and the others sometimes trashed the living room before.

The next thing happen surprised me, or as well as said, shocked me. Lyric hold my mom's hand and sweet kissed it before "Good evening, Madam. My name is Lyric and I'm Marc's 'more than best friend' friend." He flashed a charming smiled to my mother and wrapped his arms around my waist making me lean on him.

"Oh my! What a gentlemen. Meaning your Marc's boyfriend, right?" She said with a lopsided smile and leaning on dad. We both blushed but nodded our head. She suddenly tackled us, making us breathless and surprised.
"Oh Cal! Our son is finally grown up! He has he own BOYFRIEND! Why didn't you guys tell me! Oh, Cal! We should celebrate this!" She hugged dad and both of them smiled. "Uh.. Mum, you don't.." "Of course we have too! It's perfect since tonight, were going out for a dinner at that famous French restaurant, downtown!"
"Really!?" Megan shouted.
"It would but it seems we have to cancel it since the room is a mess. Right, Cal?" "You're right, honey. We should just clean tonight rather than go out to dinner." He winked at her secretly, as Megan, Lee and Tony began to turn blue and did that you would call: 'The Fastest Cleaning in Record Time.' Or etc. Lyric, Mom, Dad and I just laughed quietly.
"Hey, Mom! Why are we eating at the restaurant? Usually you cooked for us." Lee asked with his curious of wanting to know stuff. Mom smiled. "My client just gave us a free family dinner at the Le Amour à fleurir as a gift for a good job for choosing a nice home for him and his family. Now, get yourself ready for tonight dinner and make sure you wear something appropriate. Got it?" "Got IT!" we shouted with glee. That reminds me! "Mom, Dad, can Lyric sleepover with me tonight?" "Sure, Honey. I think you both could sleep in the guest family room. That room hasn't been use since your aunt came." We, except Lyric, shuddered at the thought of our snob aunt. He smiled then lifted me and spun us around. I try to stop him but gave up as I seem to have a problem on stopping my own laugh. We stopped and all of us went back

"Hey, Lyric" dad shouted at him. "Do you have any clothes to wear?" He smirked and pointed at his backpack. I got everything underr control, sir." "Haha~ Just call us mom and dad. Our home is your home now. Make yourself comfortable, okay?" Lyric was stunned but smiled and nodded with happiness. He grabbed his guitar bag and let me showed him to the guest room. They got along just fine. I'm so happy. He suddenly closed the door to the guest room once we were inside and pinned me to the door. He leered at me and leaned into my neck. He nipped and kissed the skin until I was moaning and breathless. He suddenly stopped and smiled at me when our eyes met. He kissed me for the hundreds time before licking my lips. A tingling sensation was left, making me shuddered.
"Your family makes me feel happy." I smiled. But he added "But emotionally tired." I laughed and hugged him. He has those summer smell that reminded me of the beach and a mix of chocolate smell. I'm still wondering where he got that scent. He leaned back and pushed me out of the room. I looked at him, weirdly. He smiled.

"I'm maybe want to ravish you until tonight but before I get kick out for raping their son, I better behave." He licked his lips and winked at me. "W-What do you mean? I-Idiot!" I know I was blushing and I know I was considering killing him. He laughed and waved goodbye before closing the door. I quickly run back to my room and jumped into my bed, feeling like girls would do when they got kissed by their crush. Tony was surprised by my outburst and grinned when he knows the reason.

"Feeling happy, brother dear?" he said, copying Jerry's accent. I groaned and just throw the pillow, aiming to his face. I satisfied sighed as the pillow hits the target. I hummed the nameless tune and went into the bathroom. I smiled and wished for the best night of my life. I didn't think the universe will screw me up.
