7. Date in the Graveyard
At four am, on our two-month month-aversary, as I was burying the last corpse of my weekly killing spree ( I had tested a few ideas Rylie had given me and almost all were really fun to do) I got a text from my beautiful girlfriend to meet me at the graveyard. Well see, it was a bit awkward because I already was at the graveyard, so I had to hurry up and bury Edward Sullen here before she arrived. In a couple of shovel taps it was all done and neat. I planted a couple of flowers to mask the freshly moved dirt and I went to the parking, waiting in front of my car.
She arrived right as I was finishing applying hand sanitizer to my, well... Hands.
" You beat me here! Now that's very mean, JJ!"
I smiled.
" What can I say, I'm a champion."
" You're a killjoy you are. I was gonna do some romantic set up and stuff and you just... POOF! Got there first."
" Don't worry about it, babe. I don't mind being here with you."
" You're not too creeped out that I asked you to come to a graveyard?"
" Baby, with the scenes you write in your book, there's nothing too gory coming from you."
And I was here burying a body, I thought to myself.
" Well. I brought wine and chocolate."
" I brought my lovely self."
" Idiot!"
" I amazon-ed you your present..."
" It was lovely, by the way."
I'd bought her a collector's edition of her favorites in the horror department. It was our thing.
" I thought we could drink to us... But also to me finishing my novel!"
" You're insane."
" You wouldn't like me if I was sane."
" Probably true."
She grabbed my hand and we walked amongst the tombs and graves. She sat in front of one named Madeleine Rider.
" That was my great-grandma. She was a pain up the butt. So I like to sit on her grave sometimes."
" That's really Rylie of you."
" Right?!"
She took her bag in front of her and rummaged through it. She took out a bottle of red wine, two plastic cups ( reusable, she wasn't a savage) and a glass box full of chocolate goodies. She popped the bottle opened and filled the two cups with the red liquor.
" To us, being insane together, and to my freaking freaky book! I really hope my editor likes it."
" You have an editor?"
" I meant my future editor."
" Oh." I put my arm up to toast the stars " To us and your awesome book!"
She smiled. Under the moonlight, her skin was glowing and her eyes ( definitely grey) were like pearls.
" You're so beautiful."
" Awh. What do you want? I don't have any money."
" No... You're just gorgeous."
" You're so adorable, little idiot."
I was the killer here, yet she was the most vicious of both of us. I loved that. I loved... I loved her.
" I'm not an idiot. Only an intelligent person can hold on to such a cool person as you are."
" Awh... That was real cheesy, man."
" I know. I regretted it as soon as I said it."
" That was almost mean."
" You taught me that."
" That was meaner."
" I can't escape, can I?"
" I laid my trap, indeed."
I leaned over all the food and the booze and I grabbed her by the waist and pressed my lips against hers. I really, really wanted to kiss her right now. She was so beautiful, so amazing... Her hands landed around my neck and my lips grew harder against hers. She put a hand in my messy hair and then slowly pulled away.
" We're not doing this on my grand-ma's grave, JJ. Even I have limits."
I fell back on my bum and gasped for air.
" Okay."
" We could head home, though."
" But what about the wine under the moonlight?"
" You're right. We should do a sleepover here."
" Awh, our first night together!"
"Don't use my own methods against me. That's like, number one rule of Fight Club."
" Isn't number one to never speak about it?"
"Shush, you just broke it!"
" No, you did!"
" Did not!"
"Did to!"
" Did not!"
"Did to!"
