Vampire (Continued)

Arywin continued to stare at Daniel. His smile widened even more. “I’m sorry I didn’t seem to catch your name.” He stated gently.

“That’s because I never said it.” Replied Arywin as she took another sip of her drink. Daniel continued to watch her.

“So do I get the pleasure of your name?” He asked while leaning close to her. Arywin turned her head to him. Her breathing quickened.

She took a deep breath to calm herself. “Arywin.” She replied. Daniel leaned away and looked away from her for the first time. His eye drifted to the dance floor. Arywin turned and followed his gaze. She rolled her eyes as she turned back to her drink.

Daniel cleared his throat. “Do you want to dance?” Arywin turned her head, shocked. Daniel was standing beside Arywin. His hand was stretched out, offering to her. Arywin swallowed hard as she turned to face him. She looked at his hand and then back to his face. A smile flirted on her lips as she slowly placed her hand in his. As if in a trance, Arywin stood.

Daniel led Arywin down to the dance floor. The song had an up beat tempo. The bass hammered on the speaker system causing it to static a little. Arywin looked around nervously as she was being led through the people. Her temptation was high. All she had to do was rip her hand out of his and attack. The demon inside her screamed for the blood that she craved. Arywin shook her head, trying to control herself.

Daniel suddenly whipped her around to face the way she had once come. His arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her close to him. Arywin could feel the heat of his body behind her. Guiding her with his arm, Daniel began to move to the beat of the music. Arywin closed her eyes. The demon inside her was calming as she moved with him. A smile spread across her lips. Opening her eyes, Arywin turned her head to the side to look back at Daniel. He was smiling at her over her shoulder. Arywin leaned back against him, giving into her other want. Daniel supported both of their weights easily.

The warm air began to tease her skin. She laid her head back on his firm shoulder as her hands ran down the lengths of his arms. He now had both of his arms wrapped around her waist. He was holding her close, refusing to let go. Arywin closed her eyes again, giving into the moment. She felt him gently nuzzle the side of her neck. Arywin smiled to herself as he placed several kisses on her neck. He wasn’t a vampire but the thought sent shivers down her spine.

Then the moment was shattered when the sound of a cell phone ringing reached her ears. Arywin opened her eyes. Daniel smiled at her as he reached inside the pocket of his jeans to retrieve his phone. He was still dancing with her as he answered the phone.

“Hello?” he asked. Arywin turned to face him. He smiled down at her as he wrapped his free arm around her. She leaned forward and rested her head on his shoulder and quietly listened to the conversation. They were still swaying to the music.

“What do you mean the meeting’s been rescheduled? No…Listen, Mark! There’s no way that we’re going to meet on a Saturday. That’s my only free day this week.” Daniel pause for a moment. He looked down at Arywin but didn’t smile. “Look, man. Tell them that we’re meeting on Monday. End of conversation.”

Daniel pause again. Arywin relaxed when she saw him smile. “You want to know where I’m at? I’m dancing the night away with the most beautiful girl and you’re ruining it. See you Monday, Mark.” Arywin could here the arguments on the phone as Daniel ended the call. He looked down at Arywin again as he put his phone back in his pocket. “Where were we?” He asked with a huge grin on his face. Arywin smiled back up at him as she pulled away from him.

“I’m going to head back to my drink.” Arywin replied. “Besides, I’m supposes to be meeting a friend.” Before he could reply, Arywin turned and disappeared into the crowd. As she approached the bar, she found Libby sitting in her spot, smiling at her.

“Nice to see you having fun.” Libby laughed as she stood up. She hugged Arywin before allowing her to sit back down. Arywin didn’t know how long they sat there talking but time seemed to fly by. She knew there was one topic that Libby wanted to talk about but she kept dancing around it.

“So who was that?” Libby finally asked. Arywin looked up from her drink and smiled.

“Oh some guy that I had just met.” Replied Arywin. “He’s cute.” She admitted before taking another sip.

“Hello, Arywin. Have I truly raised you wrong? Snap out of it girl. He’s freaking gorgeous!” replied Libby. She turned her head. After a moment, a huge smile spread across Libby’s face. She turned back to Arywin.

Arywin looked at Libby with confusion. “What?” she asked.

“It looks like you’ve got an admirer.” Libby pointed out. “He’s been watching you the entire time, Arywin. What are you going to do?”

Arywin snorted. “I didn’t know that I had to do anything.”

“Arywin, please. Have I taught you nothing?” Libby asked while throwing her arms up into the air. Arywin rolled her eyes.

“Look, if he wants me that badly then he’s going to have to come and get what he wants.” Libby rolled her eyes as looked around the club again. Libby’s face suddenly became blank and emotionless. Arywin starred at her friend in wonder. “What?” She asked.

Libby just shook her head without turning to look at Arywin. Slowly she lifted a hand to point at something. Arywin turned to look. Her gaze followed in the direction that Libby had pointed. When her eyes fell upon a particular person, Arywin froze. Everything seemed to stand still. She gasped. ‘How did he find me?’ Arywin asked herself. Everything became a blur as she starred at him. Suddenly their eyes met, making Arywin forget to breathe. Quickly Arywin spun around in her chair. She leaned on the bar, trying to find a way to making her breath regular again. She could hear his voice greeting people as he made his way through the club. Arywin now knew where he was going. Drake was on his way over to see her.
