The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I sit in the booth drinking my cup of coffee, glancing at my watch every so often. Too often really, because I am nervous and excited to be here. I just want to get it over with.



My coffee is filled with cream and sugar, even though I normally drink it black to counteract the acid that sits in the pit of my stomach. I should have ordered something to eat. But again the nerves...



I watch the door open and close as people come in and go about their business. Still the time seems to creep by. Then suddenly, she is there.



She looks around for me as I stare dumbstruck at her. Our eyes meet and fire courses through my veins. A physical connection links us from across the room. She smiles and my heart melts.



I somehow find the strength to stand as she walks up to the booth. We come together in an embrace and I hold her close for what seems an eternity. I never want to let her go but I do saying something corny to hide my embarrassment. It doesn't work but she is polite enough to keep it to herself.



We sit across from each other in the booth and make small talk. I doesn't matter what we say. We are here together. She orders something to drink and I decide to order something to eat finally.



Reaching across the table we hold hands looking in each other's eyes. She knows how I feel about her already and I know she feels the same. We never speak of it here though for fear that we might give in to our feelings. Both of us know that should we do that there will be no turning back and will cause pain on a scale we aren't willing to face.



The time passes quickly and now we are making excuses to leave. Neither wants to go but we have our separate lives that must go on. I pay the check and we get up to go one more embrace, desperately clinging to each other. We risk a kiss. passion pours forth from our lips then we break away, breathless.



Our hands slip away from each other and we part, backing away we til we have to turn. She goes her way and I go mine. I feel a bitter lump in my throat. I know we came dangerously close to crossing that line. We escaped, although not unscathed. We're still friends though and better that than anything else.

this is very touching; it sounds as if you have had this truly occur.
