Vampire (Continued)

“Are you sure about this?” Arywin asked looking at herself in the dressing mirror.

“Arywin, you look fantastic.” Replied Libby coming up behind her. “Not to mention you look damn sexy.” Arywin rolled her eyes as she smoothed out her black shirt. She wouldn't really call it a shirt though. It was a halter top that revealed her entire back and was cut low in the front to show a good portion of her breast cleavage. A small thin sequin strap ran tightly around her back just under the shoulder blades and directly under her breasts, holding the fabric in place. There was another, thicker strap that hung loosely at her hips. There was another thicker piece of the sequin fabric that ran along the inside of the halter top neckline accenting her chest area. Her dark navy jeans hugged tightly to the curves of her legs and the black leather high heel boots she wore made her a few inches taller than Libby. She could feel the leather against her calves and just under her knees.

Libby knelt down and straightened her jeans on the outside of her boots. When she stood again, Libby could help but smile. “Arywin you’re going to knock him dead.” She laughed running her eyes up and down Arywin in the mirror.

Arywin just looked at herself, wondering how she had gotten herself into this kind of thing. Taking a deep breath, Arywin met Libby’s eyes in the mirror. “Alright, fine. Let’s get it.” Libby jumped up and down, clapping her hands. If her smile could go any wider, Arywin thought that her smile might reach from ear to ear.

Arywin walked back to the dressing room to change out of her clothes. She put on her light blue jeans and t-shirt with a black hoodie over top of it. Grabbing the clothes, Arywin exited the dressing room. Libby was standing there, credit card in hand. When she saw Arywin step out, she held out her hand to take the clothes. Arywin handed them to her and followed Libby to the checkout line. She knew that if she didn’t follow and watch her, Libby would try to sneak something in the purchase.

As Libby paid for the clothes, Arywin looked at her watch. It was only 8 o’clock. Only two and a half hours until she’d be meeting Daniel at the club. Pulling her out of her day dream, Libby grabbed a hold of Arywin’s hand and pulled her out of the store. They chatted about the evening as they walked back to Libby’s car, a silver Ferrari.

Arywin climbed in as Libby started the roaring engine. They rode in silence until Arywin noted that Libby wasn’t heading towards Arywin’s home. She looked over at Libby in confusion.

Libby just smiled and watched the road. “We’re heading to my house.” She said. “That way we don’t have to deal with you brother.”

Arywin rolled her eyes and looked back out the window. Everything passed by them in a blur. Frowning, Arywin looked over at the speedometer. 110 miles per hour. Arywin snorted as she looked back out the window. It was a miracle they didn’t get pulled over by the cops. Libby turned into a parking ramp and parked the car on the top level, VIP parking. Arywin looked up and saw that the sun was out. Catching Libby’s eye, she reached back into the back seat and grabbed the coats. Quickly they put them on as they climbed out of the car. Libby grabbed the bags and lead Arywin away from the car. She locked it without even turning back. Libby lead Arywin to the building attached to the parking ramp and opened the door.

Arywin found herself standing in an elegant lobby area. The front desk was made of polished oak with a golden marble surface as the top of the desk. Comfortable fancy chairs and couches filled the lobby area, surrounding a huge stone fireplace. Arywin thought for sure that she was standing in the lobby of a five star hotel. She gazed around in wonder.

Libby sighed, bring Arywin back to reality. Before she could react, Libby grabbed Arywin’s arm and drug her over to the gold door elevators. She pressed the up arrow and then door flew open. They both stepped into the fancy box and Libby pressed the top floor. The door closed again only to open a few seconds later. Libby stepped onto a platform and put her keep into one of the elegant glass doors in front of them. She opened up the door and lead Arywin inside.

The room was full of gold and white colors. See through curtains hung from the ceiling and were tied back against white marble pillars. There was a small fountain in the center of the room with three steps leading down to it. To the left, up some stairs was the kitchen and living area along with a single guest room. To the right was Libby’s elegant bedroom and another guest room. And straight ahead up some stairs was a pair of glass doors that lead to the huge balcony. The balcony overlooked the city from on top of the build.

Arywin stood there, not sure of where to go. Libby laughed at her as she put her coat away in the closet. Taking Arywin’s, she hung it on the wall hook. She rolled her eyes and she took Arywin’s arm and led her into Libby’s private room. It was darker in there. The colors were more dark red and purple. Her bed was a huge mattress designed to fit the corner of the room. Tons of pillows were on it along with red and purple blankets made of silk. A flat screen TV rested in the wall on the opposite side of the room with a little love seat in front of it. Another pair of glass doors led out to the balcony and her closet door was beside the bed. Arywin was afraid to go in there.

For the next couple of hours, Arywin sat on Libby’s bed helping her decide what to wear to the club tonight. They went through dress, jeans, shirts, skirt, anything and everything. Finally Libby came out in a bright red strapless dress. It was simple and had a small red belt to tie at the waist. The loose fabric hung down to about her knees. Libby decided to wear a pair of black high heels with the dress and a black sparkling necklace.

It was 10:15 by the time Arywin had gotten dress and they were heading out the door of Libby’s apartment. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach as Arywin thought about who she was meeting at the club and the night ahead of her.
