"Ah, to be young and in love." He laughed. Daisuke smiled, shook his head, and went to the back room to make sure the new guy wasn't coughing up blood on the floor.

"Love?" She repeated to herself as the male left. Was this love she felt? Possibly. It was a nice feeling then. She wouldn't mind being in love with him.

2015-05-04 03:13:36

🌀

"That's right, love, the thing this whole place is based off of. Good luck fighting off the fangirls, he was pretty popular last time."

Daisuke walked in on me as I was pulling off my sweater and saw the scars on my back, just above where the bandages began. Oops. He stared at them for a second before asking "...you doing okay back here?" I jumped at his voice and turned to look at him, grabbing for the uniform's shirt. "Yes, I'm fine. No need to tackle me to the ground and drag me to the hospital." "...if you're sure..."

●

"Oh no, he's fine. I just want the best for him, is all." She tried laughing her previous thoughts off. Thankfully she was in the body of a vampire or she'd be red as a tomato right now.

🌀

We came back out into the main room, Daisuke raising an eyebrow at Anndrea, I adjusting my tie. It didn't look /too/ silly, right? Customers were finally beginning to arrive and some of the other employees went to seat them.

●

Anndrea looked over at Seculus once he came out in his uniform. "You look...really nice." She commented to him, her ever present smile showing,

2015-05-04 03:36:03

🌀

I returned the smile nervously and smoothed back my hair. "R-really? Well...I had better get started." A group of customers came in and I went over to seat them. They looked satisfied with who they'd gotten, I suppose that's a good thing?

Daisuke seated Anndrea at an empty two-person table near the back, attended to some others, then returned during a short lull where he wasn't needed. He leaned on the back of the empty chair and looked at her. "Those scar's on Seth's back. What are they from?" What an honest guy. But there's probably a fine line between honest and way too forward.

●

She nodded and watched as Seculus went off to work.

Anndrea followed the male and was seated in the table. Though when she was asked about the scars, her internally panicked. What should she say? She didn't know about them? Why would she. "He was born with them." Anndrea finally came up with. "I think he's embarrassed by them, so I never really ask about it. "

2015-05-04 03:49:45

🌀

"......" He thought for a moment, then nodded. "That makes sense. I just wanted to make sure he hadn't accidentally impaled himself on a fence a long time ago or something. Odd places for scars. Almost as if they were...." He paused and shook his head. "Nevermind, that's silly. Thanks for telling me." He straightened and scanned the room for an unmanned table.

2015-05-04 03:52:42

●

"You're welcome." She answered before he left. Her eyes went to Seculus once more. He had scars? She assumed from the wings. Yeah, that was most likely it. Would she have those too if she became human?

2015-05-04 03:56:22

🌀

I glanced over at Anndrea's table and noticed her looking at me. I waved a little and the girls at my table giggled and sighed, probably from disappointment. I didn't have to be able to read minds to know that they were jealous. It made me uncomfortable to know I was inspiring that sort of feeling in anyone.

2015-05-04 04:00:42

●

Anndrea smiled and waved back. It seemed he was attracting the attention of other females as well. That was fine with her. Honestly, she somewhat understood why they would feel that way. He was decently attractive.

2015-05-04 04:02:58

🌀

A few hours later, a new batch of employees arrived and the manager dismissed us. Does he have a name? I think I'll just keep calling him 'the manager'. I went and changed, careful to keep my back to the wall this time, and joined Anndrea in the front. "Did you enjoy yourself? I suppose it would be a bit boring, though, especially since you didn't bring anything else to do..."

2015-05-04 04:06:23

●

Anndrea stood up once Seculus returned from the changing room. "I did. I had plenty to do while just watching you. You seemed so..natural at it. At least from my perspective."

Though in the back of her mind. She sensed something. A vampire? No, that couldn't be it.

2015-05-04 04:13:33

🌀

I blushed a little and headed for the door. "It was only my second night, I couldn't have been /natural/ at it....you must have had an odd perspective. Did they turn your chair to face the wall? Or someone else, maybe?"

2015-05-04 04:17:16

●

She giggled. "No I'm positive that it was you." They exited out the door. "Seculus, you're not that hard to miss for me."

As they were talking, a male passed them. His hair slightly blowing in the breeze. He turned around when he heard the name Seculus being spoken. He stopped and gaze at the two. Another vampire? Something about her seemed familiar.

That would have to wait. Daniel had a job to do.

2015-05-04 04:21:28

🌀

"Well, the two-tone hair and accent helps that a bit." A man passed us and stopped, and I glanced back at him out of the corner of my eye. Odd. But not completely uncommon. He'd probably just forgotten something somewhere.

2015-05-04 04:25:39

●

"The hair,yes. The accent...well a french one would be more noticeable, but I do enjoy a British one much better." She took his hand as they walked.

Holding hands? Were they dating. Vampires and humans should never date. It was vile. This woman obviously would never survive a day in France.

2015-05-04 04:30:27

🌀

"Ha, um, I'm glad you enjoy it...?" I hesitantly grabbed hers back. The man was following us now. Slightly more suspicious, but not /too/ much. There were, after all, only so many ways to walk down a busy street.

2015-05-04 04:33:05

●

"I enjoy everything about you, however." She pointed out.

Why hasn't she turned around yet? This vampire was getting more moronic by the second. At least she'd be an easy kill.

2015-05-04 04:35:11

🌀

"......." I was red and lacking a response. What an odd way to phrase it. In a passing storefront window I saw the man, still close behind, and staring intently at Anndrea. It made me uncomfortable. I began walking a bit faster, tugging on her hand.

2015-05-04 04:38:43

●

Anndrea was pulled forward, causing her to frown. "Is everything alright?" She asked quietly, not wanting to frighten him anymore than normal. It was nothing probably. At least she hoped it was.

2015-05-04 04:41:44

🌀

"There appears to be someone following us. Perhaps we can lose him, and if this is a misunderstanding, at least we'll get some exercise."

2015-05-04 04:43:42

●

"...Okay. Do you think I should go back, though? Terezi might be able to handle him better than I could." Her voice was quiet enough so the person following them couldn't hear.

2015-05-04 04:46:02

🌀

...go back? I didn't really want her to go, but...she would have to eventually, and she was right, Terezi might be better suited to dealing with someone like this. "...perhaps, yes," I whispered. "Until...until next time."
