Chap. 3

I wake up from my nap to see two big big brown eyes staring at me. I sit up banging our heads. 

"Ow Michael you suprised me." I say.

"Sorry." He says looking down.

"I mean- I never say sorry." He says confused.

"Well you just did." I say staring at him.

"Who are you and why do you make me feel good?" He says looking at me.

I laugh.

"Do I make you happy?" I ask.

"I'm not sure. I have not felt anything for decades." He says.

I hug him.

"Does that make you feel good?" I ask.

"Yeah. A lot. But it also makes me feel like I want to hide." He says quietly.

"That is embarrasment." I say letting go of him.

"Oh." He says.

"Anyway your father came in and asked a lot of embarrasing questions." Michael said.

"Like what?" I ask.

"Like if- I had- done embarrasing stuff with you." He stuttered.

"Like...?" I ask.

"That thing- that men and women do when they like eachother." He says.

"OOOH." I say.

"What did you say?" I ask.

"I said no." He said.

"Good answer." I say.

I look at my clock and it was 12:00pm already. My stomach growled. Missed breakfast. 

"Do you eat human food?" I ask him.

"Yes! Pie!" He says getting up.

"Other then pie?" I ask.

"Um. Apple pie?" He says.

I laugh. I grab his hand and I lead him downstairs to the kitchen.  I see my dad and he smiles when he sees me but then sees Michael and frowns.

"Dad. This is Michael. I met him when I was on my walk." I said.

"I see. But why was he in your room?"  He askes.

"Because he wanted to visit me." I say.

"Okay. As long as you used protection." My dad said.

"DAD! I DIDN'T!" I say embarrased.

" I know, I know. I was just kidding." He said smiling.

"Uh dad do you have any pie around here?" I asked.

"Look in the fridge." He said.

 I let go of Michael's hand and I ran to the fridge. I looked around and I found a piece of leftover pie. I handed it to Michael and he sniffed it.

"It's strawberry. I think." I say.

He ripped the plastic off and devoured the pie.

He put the plate in the sink and thanked my father.

"It was nothing. You are Nina's first friend. It would only be right to treat you like roalty." My dad said.

"Me and Michael are gonna hang out okay?" I say.

"We are? But you didn't even eat." Michael askes.

"Yeah. Do what you please." My dad says.

I run up stairs and confused Michael follows me.

"Okay. So I'm gonna go change out of my pajamas and you sit here." I say.

"Okay."

"Also don't fall asleep because it is hard to wake you up."

I grab a few clothes and I run to the bathroom. I was pretty excited. This was my first time 'hanging out' with a person.

 I put on a big brown sweater with a girrafe on it and black tights. I brushed my hair down so it was straight and I out on a brown hat. I also wore black converses.

I finish and I come out the bathroom. I give Michael a small smile and I head for my desk.

"You look really pretty." Michael says.

I stop and I turn around to face him.

"Thank you." I say.

I grab a few makeup stuff and I grab my hand mirror and I start putting it on.

"This is so frustrating. Michael. Can you hold my mirror?" I ask.

I need to use both hands.

He held my mirror awkwardly and I started doing my makeup.

"Done." I say looking in the mirror.

"Thank you very much." I say to Michael.

I take the mirror from his hands. 

"You look prettier." Michael says.

"Thank you." I say.

"How old are you anyway?" I ask Michael.

"120." He says,

"I mean before you became a vampire?" I ask.

"I was 24." He says.

"Oh." I say.

I look him up and down. 

He was wearing a black shirt with weird sticking out things and he had on black pants (scream outfit).

"This will have to do. " I say grabbing his hand.

He let's me drag him to the door.

I opened the door and I dragged him outside.

He sighed when we got out in the street.

"I haven't felt the sun for years. Thank you."  He says smiling at me.

I start blushing. 

"It's no biggie." I say.

We walk silently to the park. When I let go of his hand he flinched.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Nothing." He says.

I stopped at an empty park.

"Why would we come here?" He askes me.

"To play on the swings." I say.

I run to the last one and I start swinging.

 He watches me swing up and down.

"Want to try one?!" I yell.

"Yes." He said.

He climbed on one and starts swinging.

He started laughing.

"Why are you laughing?" I ask.

"I don't know. I have never laughed like this before." He said.

I smile at this and I keep swinging.

As people walk by we get weird looks. But I could care less. I stop swinging and I show him the banana split swing trick my nanny taught me. You hold you feet with someone and you swing. Michael liked it a lot. He laughed so much. It made me so happy. My stomach growled. He stared at my stomach.

"I skipped breakfast." I say.

"I know." He said.

"Let's go get pancakes." I say.

"Okay." He says.

I sit down on the bench and he does also from across me.

"I'm gonna go order it." I say getting up.

I walk to the counter to see 'her'

"Oh. It's you." Alex said.

We are ex best friends. She stopped being my friend in kindergarden because of my mom.

"No drama?" I plead.

She smirked at me. But then her face dropped when Michael came next to me.

"Hey hottie." She says.

Michael holds my hand and he pulls it up in the air.

"I'm with her." He said.

I start blushing.

"Oh look it's the whore's boyfriend." She says laughing.

"Do you have HIV yet?" She askes him.

"We are not dating. We are just together." He says.

"So she is carrying your baby?" She says snorting.

"No." He says.

"Then you must be her first client. Why did you choose her out of all the other prostitutes?" She says.

"I'm tired of your annoying words old lady." He says.

"I'm not old! I'm the same age as her!" She yells.

"Can I eat her?" He askes me.

"Sure I don't care. But not in public." I say.

"What are you two taking about?" She askes.

"We are leaving." I say.

I walk out the store with him. 

"We will just eat somewhere else. Okay?" I say.

"Okay." He says.

-------------------------------------------------

We were walking home now. Well I was the only one not walking. He was carrying me on his back. The reason is because I told him I was tired and he insisted so I went along with it.

I showed him pretty much everything I could see. He laughed a lot. That is progress.

"You smell pretty." He said.

"Thank you." I say.

I rubbed my nose on his hair. He let me do that.

"How did you become a vampire?" I ask.

"It's a long story." He sighs.

"I will listen." I say.

"Well. When I was younger my dad tried to get me into the music buisness and I didn't want to so he would beat me. My mother was the only one I could talk to and love. But I ran away when I was 17. And I would always visit my mother though. I found this man who said he would make all my dreams come true. I trusted him. And he was so nice. He would always give me things.  He took me in his home and I lived with him for a while. When It was my 24th birthday he told me it was time I pay a price.  I told him I didn't have any money so he..." Michael said.

"After that when I told my mother she told me to stop visiting her and get my devilsh face away from here." He said his voice breaking.

"So I just lived on my own moving from town to town." He says.

I started crying.

"Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?" He askes me worried.

"No. IT'S JUST SO SAD. WAAAAAH." I cry.

"It's okay really. I feel just fine." He says.

"You're lying. How can you feel fine?" I ask.

"Because I learned not to feel." He says.

"But what ever happened to your mother?" I asked.

"I don't know." He said.

"We are gonna find her and she is gonna take you back!" I say.

"But. She is dead." He says quietly.

Then it hits me. Of course. It has been 116 years since this happened.

"I'm sorry I brought up the topic." I say.

I tighten my grip on him as I cry.

"You shouldn't be crying." He said.

"I'm crying for you." I say.

"Huh?" He askes me.

"I'm crying for you since you can't cry." I say.

"Thank you." He says.
