immediately he was a good guy. I had no desire to drink his blood either, which was also a good thing. Maybe being intoxicated was the way to go.
Numbs out even the worst in vampires.
‘Er, yeah I did notice the obvious, but um, she’s not really my type,’ I said.
Blaze raised one of his dark eyebrows and scoffed. ‘You are fucking joking right. She’s hot,’ he said pointing towards her at the bar.
I turned around to see her talki ng to a few other females sipping their drinks at the bar. One woman in particular did catch my attention.
‘Do you sing by any chance?’
‘Sing? Man, I don't think I could hold a fucking tune right now,’ I hollered above the music which just so happened had been cranked up a few decibels.
‘I see you can't hold your drink,’ he laughed
‘Tell me about it. My head is bloody spinning here,’ I said, picking up the other bottle.
‘Not often we get new faces in here. What it is my band, The Black Stones have been offered a few gigs with a chance of getting signed, but our singer quit on us a month ago...’
‘Me? Sing? Umm, I got a lot on right now...’
‘Sure, I bet you could pull in the ladies no problem though?’
‘Yeah, about that...I don't know if it's such a good idea,’ I said with a smirk.
Curiosity was sure getting the best of him. He was about to ask me something when this pretty woman from the bar tapped him on the shoulder.
I noticed her green eyes latch on me instantly as she bent down to whisper in Blaze's ear. Suddenly my chest began to feel a little tense as I smiled back at her. Simply beautiful, I thought. She was the most pleasing thing to my eye in a long time.
‘Erm, Jyrki? This is my sister April...April this is Jyrki.’
She swept her long dark hair off her shoulders and reached out her delicate hand in a gesture. No woman has ever looked at me with such warmth before. Usually they were so transfixed by my looks or running away scared.
‘It's a pleasure to meet you.’
‘Wow that accent is awesome. Where are you from?’
She nudged Blaze to move up and sat down on the chair opposite me.
I was feeling a little nervous and for the first time that I was aware of I was actually overcome with shyness. My bottle of beer instantly became a firm friend as I took another swig to calm my nerves.
‘Well I'm originally from Finland.’
‘Yeah? Well your English is great, where did you learn it?’
‘I’m a fast learner.’
She s miled. ‘So what are you doing here then?’
Bloody hell, I thought. She can't half talk.
‘I just felt like a break.’ That was all I could think of to say to her right now. I picked up my drink and took another swig of the bottle. Right now, I was well and truly intoxicated.
‘Hey sis, leave the guy alone ok,’ he said with a laugh. ‘I got to him first. He's thinking of joining The Black Stones, aren't you?’
I hoped he was joking.
April laughed. ‘You're joining these guys? You must be crazy.’
I grinned , still unable to take my eyes off her. It felt so good to be in such good company for a change.
‘ We're heading back to my flat after the gig for a party. You’re more than welcome to come?’ Blaze asked.
Should I?
Usually humans were lunch to my people.
CHAPTER NINE
It was early hours of the next morning when we decided to leave the club. Blaze was feeling a touch sober and so offered me a lift back to his place in his van. I was feeling reluctant to as the blood I had earlier was slightly wearing off. I did not want to crave the blood of someone I have just befriended. Therefore, while Blaze went over to the bar to speak with the waitress, I decided to leave.
I was hoping I would go unnoticed but as I walked across the sticky, beer stained dance floor towards the exit, I saw April come out of the ladies room.
Just keep on walking.
