Blind Date

I hate blind dates, but I trust my friend. He wouldn't steer me wrong about this girl.1

Her name was Reyna. I kept thinking, she’d better at least have a brain. I was so sick of the same old thing.2

We met at the restaurant and I was speechless. She was stunning. I stood there for a moment just looking at her. She smiled and we walked to the table.  We talked. We ate. We laughed.3

We decided to get a drink at a bar near my place. We drank. We danced. We laughed some more as the dark outside deepened onto midnight. We walked hand in hand to my apartment as I invited her up. We fell on each other like new lovers. 4

At morning’s light she was gone. I found a note saying 'you’ll know' and that was all. I pulled myself to the bathroom to wash up.5

I'm not sure how long I stood there screaming, but it must have been a thousand years just looking in the mirror at the two small puncture wounds in my neck.6

    Awwwwww, she wasn't like the same as all these other girls and then she's a vampire...
    WHY THE HELL DID YOU SCREAM????? THAT'S PERFECT!!!! YOU CAN BE JOINED IN PRETTY VAMPIRE LOVE!!!!!!

    Weirdo.

    I liked this...except it ended...and YOU DIDN'T JOIN IN VAMPIRE LOVE. Please. NO VAMPIRE LOVE is SO last...uh...febuary. Okay, write me one where there IS vampire love, and I will be happy for a while.
    This was good, though. TOTALLY didn't expect the ending.

    Hehehe...least there's no strings attached to the girl. See, my boyfriend is telling me I'm not getting the dark gift until we're like married..."for all of eternity." MUAHAHAHAHAHA!! The evil laugh made me kinda nervous about the idea.
