C/N= City Name

♤♡◇♧☆

I checked my bag one last time and finally went out the door. He already waited at the car, a bouquet of red roses in his hands. I smiled at him when I closed the door behind me and felt the chilly breeze of autumn on my face.

He kissed me and opened my door, like the gentleman he was. I didn't really know where we were going or what he had planned, so naturally it was surprising when he drove out of C/N and, after a while, stopped at a pumpkin field.

"I know that it's weird when a vampire celebrates Halloween but I thought maybe you'd like it, so I'm just gonna ignore the irony." He smiled at me.

I couldn't help but admire his beautiful face, the cheekbones and lips that I had kissed so many times, the eyes that had been filled with tears, joy and mischief.

"So, are you coming or not?" He nudged my cheek.

"Yes, yes, wait for me."

"Hurry up, or all the good ones will be gone!"

I laughed. This man managed to make me laugh at any time.

The field was so full of pumpkins. Big ones, tiny cute ones, some were stretched and some were little balls of orange. Luckily I had dressed aesthetically fitting.

After a long while of discussing which pumpkin size would be best for carving we took a few, for carving and for decoration, home with us. We sat back in the car and drove back.

He went into the basement to get the carving utensils, meanwhile I set up the livingroom table with enough bowls and tissue paper. When he came back up he helped me carry the bigger and heavier pumpkins inside, and we went to work.

After an hour of Halloween music, funny stories and pumpkin seed fights, both of us presented our carvings.

"Yours first", I demanded. With a sly smile he turned his pumpkin around to show me.

"Oh so you were an artist in another life or what?"

He smirked proudly, "No, but I gotta say this one's particularly good. Now you." Expectantly he looked into my eyes.

I slowly turned my pumpkin around, a little embarassed of my childish motive.

And he laughed. Not at me or my silly pumpkin face, but with me. He seemed genuinely happy. And I laughed with him. My body moved by itself and connected my lips with his, sharing a kiss I wouldn't forget soon.
