Boyfriend

Lily slowly opened her eyes and recognized those all too familiar pings in her head. The pain started to flood into her body, but she chuckled in spite of it. “I had worse,” she whispered to herself and slowly opened her eyes. Rick obviously didn't kill her, but she remembered they made quite a mess of the apartment. Letting her eyes adjust she noticed it was still night. She thought it must be the same night, unless he knocked her out really good this time, and it's been days. She noticed she was still in the apartment. “Thank God,” she said grateful that she didn't wake up in the hospital, or worse, chained in a basement. Then, she noticed the apartment did not look disturbed at all. “What the hell,” she said standing up from the couch to fast and having to catch her balance. She stood wobbling for a moment letting her body catch up. Lily gently looked around the apartment. Nothing was disturbed. The coffee table was right where it was supposed to be along with her magazines. Martin's bowl full of keys and other junk it had been collecting over time looked undisturbed. The tablet was nowhere to be seen, but she also didn't see any evidence of it either. Walking around Lily looked for a piece of the screen or black casing but could not find anything. Lily rushed to the end of the kitchen by the hallway where she had cut him. There was no sign of blood. She walked back to the couch and moved the coffee table.

“Just me.”
Closing her eyes Lily let Nathan kiss her gently. She could feel the pressure and outline of his fangs then thought of how hot it seemed. Then, she started to laugh at how perverted that seemed.
Nathan pulled back and smiled. “What's so funny?”
“Nothing,” she said letting the laughter subside to a grin. Lily leaned into his ear. “My boyfriend is a Monster,” she whispered.
Nathan leaned into hers. “My girlfriend is a dork.”
She quickly threw her arms around him and kissed him. Lily had a thousand questions, but for now she just wanted to kiss him, hold him, and just be with him ... and he wanted the same.
