Dear diary,
I’m sitting in my room, alone as always but this time it’s different. Today is not same, it is not similar to all those days in the past. Today is different. I was smiling when I arouse from bed unlike all those past days when I only complained about life or anything. I’m not that same, lonely, depressed, doleful girl anymore. I’m happy and I’m smiling a genuine smile. I’m happy because I know I have Zane by my side. He is the reason for my smile. Yesterday has been the best day of my life. Well it had to be, since I’ve finally found someone who loves me truly and completely. He promised me that he’ll never feed on humans. I had never experienced love in my life until now. I was always hated and ignored but now that I have experienced love, I admit that it’s the most beautiful and the best thing ever.
My phone buzzed making me keep my diary aside. The name on the screen brought a wide smile across my lips.
“Hey” I greeted picking up the call.
“Hey” he replied “Are you at home?”
“Yes, I am”
“I’m waiting outside your house”
What? Zane’s outside my house? I ran down the stairs and opened the door. He was was standing with a bouquet of red roses in his hands. I hugged him.
“These roses are for me?” I asked
“No. They are only for my girl” he replied.
“Well you should know that your girl loves pink and red sunflowers more”
“Oh. My bad. Having great difficulty ever since I’ve promised you that I won’t read your mind again”
“HAHA. I can see that. But reading someone’s mind and knowing what they’re thinking is like invading privacy”
“Invading privacy?” he said laughing “So I have to replace these roses with sunflowers then?”
“No. No. They are my second favourites so I’ll accept them for now but be careful from next time”
“Sure madam” he said bowing down a little.
“You want to come in?” I asked and he took two minutes to reply “Alright”
I asked him to have a seat while I went inside the kitchen to bring him a glass of water.
“Sorry but I can only offer you a glass of water since I’m home alone for few days and a terrible cook” I said with a little chuckle.
“It’s okay. Water is enough for me”
“Well, you’re home alone and you can’t cook then what did you eat in dinner yesterday?” he asked.
“Um.. All that was left in the fridge”
“You know that I can sense when you’re lying and when not right?”
“Um.. Yeah.. I lied.. Sorry..”
“So you didn’t have anything?” he asked and I shook my head in a no as response.
“May I use your kitchen?” his question surprised me.
“Why do you want to go in the kitchen?” I asked.
“Once upon a time and a very long time ago, I too was a human and I was not a terrible cook, so I can cook food for you” he said with wink.
“But there’s nothing in the fridge”
“That means we have to go to the market first, to buy things.”
We returned home with bags of veggies, chicken, eggs and milk from the market. It was funny watching Zane in the market. I’ve never seen a vampire buy groceries or chicken before. I even chuckled a little when he bargained with the shopkeeper.
“We have chicken, these eggs and some veggies. So what would you love to eat, your highness?” he bowed down after finishing his sentence which made me laugh.
“Anything you like, sir” I replied.
“How about a chicken soup?” I showed a thumbs up sign on his suggestion.
“Umm… smells good” I said as Zane poured the soup in my bowl.
“Tastes even better” he replied.
“Let’s see” I said and on the very first spoon I knew that he was right. I had never tasted such tasty soup ever before.
“So, how’s it?” he asked.
“D. E. L. I. C. I. O. U. S” I answered and he took his chef hat off his head and bowed, making me laugh again.
“Zane, can vampires eat human food?” I asked.
“Only if humans let him” he replied making a sad face and I elbowed him in a joking manner.
“We can eat human food but it doesn’t provide us any nourishment since we are…”
“Dead” I felt silly to complete the sentence as it only lead us in an awkward silence.
Does our relationship have any future?
“We are forever Blaire. I know what’s running in your head even when I don’t read your mind. You don’t have to think about it, just live in present”
We are forever, I hope he’s right
“Yeah” I said. I’ve just found love and happiness in my life, I can’t let negative thoughts burden me and make myself sad. Sad days have passed and this is my time to be happy. Happiness is waiting for me with it’s arm spread wide and I will allow it to hug me.
From now on, I won’t be that sad, lonely girl. I will be the happiest girl ever.
