He stepped out and I caught his scent. An old instinct of mine is that my head would say to kill him but my heart is now overriding my thoughts saying the opposite. Fuck, I needed a stiff drink. Having a new designer who knows what they were doing has made it easier for my company but the new designer is FuXi who I hand picked and his presence has made me more confused than I have ever been. I have to move past this quickly and prepare for the final presentation. There's only a few days and I need for this to go smoothly.
I was looking forward to seeing the last piece I asked him to modify. I'm surprised he didn't come to me for approval, but at the same time I like not knowing as I know his work will blow our minds.
Whilst he was working, I tried to sneak in, but whenever I had free time, Luca would keep interrupting me trying to convince me to go with him to check out this new strip club. He just won't take no for an answer, he kept asking and asking and of course he knew I would concede eventually.
When it was almost time to go, Luca was excited to say the least and kept hurrying me.
"Come on Mica, you're such a snail. The best seats are going to be gone," Luca whinged.
"Yeah yeah, I know, just gotta finish this report it won't take me long," unbothered by his insistence.
Shortly after entering the strip club called 'Seduction Palace', I started to feel this stabbing pain in my chest, followed by an echo calling out to FuXi. It was strange. I'd never felt this way about anybody, even before I was a vampire. This reaction was intense like I wanted to claim him. What made him so worthy to be mine? Should I just go with it and see where it leads? I asked myself. I was feeling restless and I wanted to just leave. I began to head towards the exit when I caught his scent, I turned back but Luca caught sight of me and gestured to me to sit next to him as kept bringing in the strippers. When he went to the toilet, I took that as my opportunity to leave my seat and look for FuXi. It didn't take long, he was with the others surrounded by the male strippers. He seemed to be having a lot of fun and so I had decided to roam the streets like I do most of the night trying to clear my head. Next thing I knew, with my killer reactions I struck down a guy and he fell fast and hard to the ground. Screams were heard and I pelted away from the scene.
I woke up the next morning in my bed, not having a clue how I got there.
It was the weekend. I turned on the news. I wasn't paying attention until they mentioned something about a man that had been murdered outside Seduction Palace'. I looked at the screen, I sighed in relief that no one caught sight of me. I went into work for a few hours just to go over a few files and prepare for the presentation and upcoming meetings. This is typically Luca's job. Luca does handle all this just fine, in fact he does a great job, but I just prefer to check beforehand, just in case. If this all goes well he will not only be known to the world like I am, and maybe one day I will rule the world. He let his intrusive thoughts take over.
After I left work to go home, I saw a blood stained splatter on the pavement. I knew instantly it was the guy's blood that tried to attack me. that triggered that scene from last night. I had drank a fair bit. It's got to have been a Witch or another Vampire. I'm not surprised that I've made enemies in my three hundred years.
I was brought out of my thoughts by a familiar voice of FuXi.
"Mica? So good to see you," FuXI greeted me.
"Oh FuXi! Good to see you too. What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I am heading into work, I left my pencils. Then I will be going to the market to get some stuff for my dads before heading home," FuXi told me.
"Oh that's good, would you like a lift home so you don't have to carry so much," I offered.
"Erm… sure that would be great, you can stay for dinner if you want. I'm sure my dads won't mind, they always cook a lot of food," FuXi invited.
As we walked around the market, the urge to hold his hand as we walked was becoming far greater than I imagined. I forced myself to carry all his shopping instead just so I didn't accidentally grab it and make things awkward. There had been moments when our eyes locked and hands touched but that was about it.
Eventually, he had gotten all the things he needed and we headed to my chauffeur and I told him to take us to FuXi's place. He helped Fuxi put his items in the trunk and then we were off. Although it was only a short journey he still managed to nod off and I lay his head on my arm.
When we arrived at his house I felt like carrying him in, but he woke up, immediately sat up straight and rubbed his eyes.
