Violet was at home with a roommate on a lonely night and mara tried making conversations with her. She wanted to know wo Violet has been involved with for the past times that she hasn't been around. She realized the violet no longer receive calls from Chris or rather she hangs up the call when she realizes its him on the phone. She also noticed her weird smiles alone Violet and suspected that she had a man in her life.
Mara kept pestering violet to give her the latest info of the man in her life. But Violet was not interested in talking to Mara. Mara was convinced that there was a man in her life because violet seemed more calm and peaceful than she used to be. Violet ignored her questions because she knows Mara only gets interested in her life when she has excessive time on her hand. As they argue over who is and who is not in whose life there was a knock on the door the door. Mara ran up to check was at the door. She saw a tall man with golden eyes and silky skin like the color of the sun.
"Hello!" he said.
"Hi, who are you looking for" Mara asked.
"Oh, I'm a friend of violet is she around?" He asked
"Violet a Damien is here to see you!" Violent ran to the doors.
"Oh, wow. He knocks Elizabeth run through the door.
"What do you mean?" Mara asked.
"No its nothing." Violet ignored.
"Hi, Damien. come on in." She said.
He came in, Mara was not relaxed. She kept going to and fro trying to introduce herself to him and she was telling Violet that she knew she was right that there was a man in our life.
They sat and Mara excused herself from the sitting room still.
"I want you to escort you for a cup of coffee" Steel said.
"Escort you? Wait is this a date?" Violet was amazed.
"No, it's not, it's just a casual visit and I'm bored." He said. Violet was excited. She's this was the first time she would ever walk out with still on the streets. She felt really, really excited. She also felt weird at its same time because she was working with a vampire. But the world will see that she's working with a handsome looking man who look like it was carved by the gods.
She saw how his skin glowed with the sun and his eyes turned golden yellow. He was beautiful as they sat across the table to each other. Violet monitored him. She watched him as he carried a cup of cappuccino to sip.
"You drink tea?" She asked.
"Well I thought you eat flesh or blood." She added.
"I have to blend in don't i? But this is just appetizers. Your food is appetizers to me. My main food is what you know." Ge explained.
While I never thought the day will come, we will walk together in the sunlight.
"Why did you ask us a on a date?" She said
"No reason. I just wanted to have a casual conversation with you. That's all."
"Okay, so what do you want to talk about?"
"I want to talk about you. Tell me about you." He said
You want to talk about me? Well, you've been stalking me all my life, you should know better" She said.
"Don't kid yourself, son. I don't stalk you. I just take note of people in the society.
"I know you do, but how many people are you this close to?" She asked.
"Okay now so you want to know things about me? From my point of view?" She helped him.
"Smart girl. Exactly. Tell me about you."
"You know, that's not what I want to hear." He said.
"What do you want to know? Can you be specific please?" She said.
"I want to know what your fears because it seems like you're not afraid of death. So I want to know what you fear." he asked curiously.
"Well, what's the essence of fearing death anyways, everyone would say, I just want to die peaceful. That's all. If it comes it comes and if it doesn't, I'll live my life. Well, it's also strange for you telling me to tell you about what I fear. Are you trying to use that against me or something?" She asked.
"Huh? There you go. Again, flattering yourself.
They are going in flattering myself. Now you're pissing me off. You're impossible!"
"You're too soft. You take everything too serious. I don't know what your fears are, you obviously don't fear death and that is what all humans fear." he said.
"I'm just here trying to make a conversation but it's impossible a conversation"
"This is no conversation its interrogation! And now you're here sitting across me asking me to tell me about you. Look, the only person that needs to talk is you. I want to know everything about you. What is it about you apart from you being a vampire, What is it about you?" she asked
"I can't have this conversation with you. I'm trying to hear to come down to your level but you're making it's impossible. It's just impossible. Can we get going please? "He said
My level? You are definitely a god then cos what the fuck does that even mean? That's a lot coming from someone who can't have a complete conversation. You always just flee without saying shit. And now you're asking for secret. That is nice. Oh my!" she said angrily.
"You are possible to talk to you know?" He called the restaurant waiter to get the bill and as he tried to pay someone came approaching their table.
It was Detective cooper'
" Hi Violet, Hello Mr. Duplantier!" he said.
"it's very nice to see you. What are you doing here sitting here with violet?
Hi, Detective Cooper. How are you? You know Violet? Or is she a criminal? He asked.
"No, no, she is not. I'm just wondering what a man of such caliber is doing with our local librarian of our common city."
"He said you introduced us remember? He said the last time I came to the library to look for a book. I realized how nice she is and now we're friends.
"Well, that's strange. Okay, so you guys are having a date. He said. "No problem."
"Mrs. Violet. How are you? Have you been? Have you been strong will open there is no problem." Cooper inquired.
"I am fine" She said with the frustrated voice. I am alright.
"Alright. Okay. Just wanted to be sure you're well, Mr. Duplantier you haven't paid a visit to prison like you said. I have he visits ah. Alright, take care. Have a nice fun day. Have fun." Cooper said and waved goodbye.
"Where were we?" Violet asked.
"I was leaving." steel said then stood up and left
Violet rushed to the door to leave before him so he won't feel the pain of being walked out on but that didn't work out for her.
She had whole conversation in her asked as she walked home.
"Why did I even come out with him to this cafe? Why is he so proud? He's such an egocentric Cunt. Would it be the first vampire on Earth?
Even if he was the first vampire on Earth? I deserve respect! I don't disrespect him, but I was just trying to have a normal conversation with this person. And he has gotten angry. Mehn Nothing ever works for me.
She thought no relationship, not anything. She was tired.!
At a point on her way home she wondered if vampires had a different manner of approach in talking cos it seems like she is getting it all wrong.
