Forever May Not Be Long Enough
Chapter Five: A Escape?
But wait!
I'm wrong, he's not Dracula!
Instead of the intense grey-green eyes that always haunted me, they were pure blue.
There was no sign of curls in his short brown hair, it looked like it was freshly cut and washed.
He wasn't wearing black like he did, a pair of jeans and a grey shirt were in it's place.
But he did have those same lips like Dracula has, so lush and tempting to touch.
"Have you gone mute all the sudden?" He asked with a chuckle.
"Er, no. Just a little taken aback that's all." I replied, rubbing my neck in embrassment.
His laugh was smooth, not a sense of threat or fear was there.
Suddenly relaxing, I rose my hand and said my name.
"Athena, that's a lovely name. I'm Drake." He shook it with a undeniable sexy smile that made me blush.
"Nice to meet you, Drake."
"So, shall we go somewhere quiet and have a chat?"
"Yeah, I would like that."
We walked towards the seats until we realised that we were still holding each other's hands.
"Oh! Sorry about that." I said, letting go of his though a bout of disappointment washed over me.
"No worries, come sit by me." He patted the seat beside him so I sat down.
"Right, tell me everything about you and I shall do the same to you." Drake said, folding his arms.
"Well, let me start from the begining..." I replied, taking a very deep breath.
It must have been two hours that went by of us just talking about ourselves.
Drake was born in Scotland but moved to America when he was five months old.
His parents are writers, their books are best sellers and now they are doing their thirty-first novel.
He works as a lawyer, a profession that he always wanted to do since he was a teenager.
Single, living in a two bedroom apartment he's sharing with a friend, and dishy to boot!
I couldn't deny the sexual chemsity that was boiling between us, the tenison was unbelieveable.
He even listened to every word I said to him but I kept the dream to myself, he dosen't need to know that.
After finishing my glass of wine, he noticed it and went to get some more.
I watched him walk towards the bar, he had a fine looking butt in those jeans!
Laughing to myself, I turned to look at the people slow dancing to a enchanting melody.
Suddenly, the crowd broke apart to show only two wrapped in each other's arms.
I already knew who they were: me and Dracula.
The vision was simply breathtaking that it just looked so real.
He rose his head to stare at me, a chilling grin was across his face.
With a gasp, I turned away cursing my racing heart.
"Athena? Are you alright?" Drake asked.
I looked up at him, a worried frown appeared.
"Yes, I'm fine. Nothing to worry about." I lied, with a smile.
With a sigh, he sat down and placed the drinks on the table.
His eyes locked into mine, was he about to kiss me?
Preparing for this moment, I moved closer so our bodies were touching.
I could feel the intense heat between us, sizzing and never ending.
He cupped my face, his thumbs stroking my cheeks ever so gently.
Shutting my eyes, I let the caress slither all over me.
"You're so beautiful." Drake whispered.
Reopening my eyes, our faces grew closer until finally at last the lips did the rest of the talking.
The kiss was sensual, powerful and just perfect.
His hands roamed down my face to the base of my throat, his fingers touching my senstive skin.
I could hear Alicia Keys song "Love Is Blind" playing in the background, the chorus was sedcutive and pulling me in a erotic world where it's just me and him.
No Dracula could be seen.
His lips pulled away from mine, he licked them with his tongue with a prolonged moan under his breath.
"God, that was amazing! You're a brilliant kisser." He said, opening his eyes to stare right through me.
My heart was going crazy, my body was burning for more of his touch.
I was lost, finally a escape from the dark and troubling days of being constanly haunted by Him.
"Thanks, I guess." I said, regaining my speech.
"Come on, I'll take you home."
He stood, offering his hand to me.
Without a moment's pause I took it and was led out of the club humming to the magical lyrics.
The cool night air hit us instanly we stepped outside.
Drake and me headed across the street where a car was parked.
"That yours?" I asked, looking at him.
"Yep, it's not much but I've had it ever since I was nineteen." He replied, opening the door for me.
Such a gentleman!
I stepped inside, putting on the seatbelt and watched him get in to turn on the engine.
He drove in a normal pace while I stared out of the window, suddenly feeling like I was alive for once.
I stole a few glances at him, he smiled or winked at me that made my heart leap for joy.
Arriving at my apartment building, I unhooked the seatbelt and got out but he was faster than me.
"Ladies should always be helped by a gentleman." He said, with a cheeky smile.
"Aw, what a true romantic!" I sighed, laying my head on his shoulder.
We walked towards the door, then stopped and turned to look at each other.
"So, shall I give you a call when to meet up?" He asked, digging out his number.
I wanted him to stay the night with me, be in his arms when the sun rose up for a new day.
But it would be so wrong.
"Okay then, that would be great." I replied, taking his card that he gave me.
"Right then, see you soon Athena. I had a great night tonight." He said, leaning down to capture my lips once more.
Even more magcial than the first, I could feel my legs turning to jelly.
He broke away before it got passionate to walk back to his car.
"Goodnight Drake!" I said, with a wave.
He turned to look at me, a wide smile was across his handsome face.
"Goodnight Athena." He replied, nodding his head at me.
I watched him get into his car and drove off, leaving a puff of smoke behind.
With a heavy but happy sigh, I got back in the building and unlocked my door.
