Fourteen

Tonight was a special night at Haven. We’d flown up a crew of our celebrity DJ pals from L.A. and they promised to pump out some serious, aggressive beats, and funky, chunky bass. All night long.

I was so ready for that.

We entered through the back door. As soon as we hit backstage I stopped, closed my eyes and let the beat wash over me, caress me from head to toe. A welcoming heartbeat. I took a deep, cleansing breath, and another, and another, rotating my head and shoulders and shaking the kinks out of the rest of my body in a languorous wave.

Music, good. Stress, bad. Bye-bye stress.

Alexander squeezed my hand. I opened my eyes to find him gazing at me with the bemused expression he’d worn so often this evening. That is, when we weren’t handling some kind of crisis.

“Welcome to my house.” I spoke at a normal volume. No need to shout-talk as I would have with a human. Vampire super hearing came in handy in a club rockin’ the loud tunes. “You don’t know this, but I like to dance. A lot. You up for it?”

He nodded.

Oh, yippee. My new undead boyfriend liked to get his groove on. More tension melted away. Tony nudged me, dancing in place, waving in the direction of the main room, ready to shake it, too.

My happiness increased by the second.

We’d already missed the female DJ in the L.A. crew, my friend Claire. She was stepping down from the DJ platform on center stage when I strolled up.

Claire gave me a big grin, arms spread wide in welcome. “Rina!”

We hugged and stepped back to admire each other. At five-ten, Claire was a few inches taller than me but at the moment she stood over six feet thanks to mega tall, orange vinyl platform boots. On her long and lean body she wore a shiny orange, vinyl mini skirt and matching crop top. Her hair was dyed neon pink today, with the exception of stark white bangs and a bit of white fringe framing her oval face. The rest of her hair was trapped in two pony tails set high on each side of her head. Anime-fantastic.

Claire gave me an appreciative once over and surveyed my companions.

“What’s up with the entourage?” she yelled in my ear. “You a rock star now?”

“Long story.” I motioned at Tony and Alexander to join us.

“Claire, this is my brother Tony.”

“I live in L.A.,” Tony shouted at her, shaking her hand. “I’m a big fan.”

Claire grinned her pleasure at him.

“Sorry we missed your set,” I added.

“No worries, I’m back on for the cool-down around five. I’ll be servin’ up some down tempo for breakfast.”

“Breakfast?”

“Yeah, croissants and coffee for anyone still here in the morning. That’s the word from Adrian, anyway. You didn’t know?”

I shook my head. “Hadn’t heard. I’ve been a little, uh, distracted lately.”

“I can see that.” Her eyes strayed to Alex.

“Oh, sorry, this is my—” I hesitated. What should I say? Boyfriend? Destined soul mate? I settled for, “Alexander.
