Money and Vampires

"Wait," Nathaniel began, catching my arm, "I'm serious you know, about what I asked yesterday." I stared up at him, his eyes were soft, but they held mine intently. I licked my lips. "I know Nathaniel, but you know the ru…" He waved a hand, "screw your uncle's rule. Do you always listen to him? Are you just a puppet on his strings?" I narrowed my eyes. Nathaniel let go of my arm and held his hands up. "I’m sorry, I meant no offense. But, just, have dinner with me." Nathaniel shoved his hands into his pockets and gave me a crooked smile. I sighed, mostly because I had wanted this since the first time I had met him. But there was the other part of me that knew this only meant trouble. I looked around to make sure we were alone before responding, "Fine, I will pick you up after I get off work." Even though I knew agreeing to a date with a vampire would only lead to heartbreak.

"I didn't want your doorman to see me come through the entrance. Can't have him reporting back to uncle the company you keep," he replied. He was wearing another black T-shirt and blue jeans, although the shirt looked like it was painted on. His hair was tied up in a high knot, but some strands had come loose. I assumed from his high-rise adventure.
