The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I enjoyed the burning sensation of nothing but hot water, full blast, on my bare skin. The lather of soap smelling of coconut lime on my body. The slow drag of the razor and the tingling sensation of brand new skin so soft. The shampoo straightening out my hair while the conditioner smoothed it out, relieving all the knots. I took the bottle and sniffed the sweet sent of champaigne. All I thought about was Roger.

Everything had troubled me. The whole trip here had been completely nauseating. I had barely any idea as to why. I did not agree to this trip willingly. To be quite honast, everything scared me. I didnt really like being away from my home in New York. I have absolutely no one I can really count on or trust. Unlike my Mommon ( mother ) , I hadn't grown up with these people all my life. I have no real blood family here. I dont know of what will become of me here. Will it be everything that I had expected it to be?





I got out of the shower to look in a three-way mirror. I look so miserable. I quickly got out of the bathroom and into the bedroom/ living area. I picked up my red duffel bag and chose some pair of jeans and a black tanktop. I twisted my hair and made the stream of water fall below me on the towel. I grabbed a brush and tooks out all the knots I made when I strained my dark brown hair and put it in a pony tail. My cellphone rang. It was Lisa, so I had to answer.

" Hey there, big butt."

" Hey! leave me and my fat ass alone!"

"Er, excuse me?"

" Uh, I mean leave me and my ghetto ass alone."

" Nice try, but you are still going to pay for that one. So, are we still good to drive up to St.Pete's tomorrow?"

I heard her cover up the phone, but I could still hear tidbits of what she was saying.

" Hey, Sylv...can...to...Pete's...morrow?"

She uncovered the phone, directing the conversation back towards me.

"He says there is no problem so far."

" Ok. well I better go call Rog before he freaks out. Have fun you two. Don't do anything I wouldn't."

"Haha, and that would be?"

I laughed, "see you guys tomorrow." and I hung up the phone. Then I dialed Roger's number at lightning speed. I had memorized it and dialed it so many times that I could do this in less than a milisecond.

" Hey! where are you?"

" The Marriot."

" Flight good?"

" I guess."

"What's the matter?"

" Nothing," I said rubbing my eyes because of the headache I gave myself since the first time I got on a plane." I'm just tired. Listen. Everything is going good as expected. I should be there by tomorrow.

"When tomorrow? Why tomorrow?"

" Tomorrow because I wouldn't let Sylvester drive Lisa and I ANYWHERE when it is dark outside. I dont really trust anyone."

" Not even me?"

A brief silence on my end and then a exasperated sigh " I dont know. Uhm...I'm tired, so I'm going to get some sleep." I said as I let Tuna out of her cage just to have her jump on my lap purring like mad.

" Aww Tuna, baby. How you doin'? "

" She's been an annoying bitch. " I say while she's trying to smother my face.

" Ok, hun. I'm going to let you go so you can get some sleep. Love you and I can't wait till tomorrow."

" Yeah, I know. Hey, tell your mom that I'll be there tomorrow. And I will call before I leave, if its not too early. If it is then I'll do something with them in some city or another, so I wont show up so early..."

" Krista! It's fine. Call though because I want to hear your beautiful voice."

" Meh! Don't do that to me. Not right now, anyway. Later, ok?"

"Mmm ok, baby. Well, I'm going to go, night, baby girl."

" Night, Rog." and with that I hung up the phone. Lying down in bed, I started to remember.

Rog and I have been together for a little over a year now. We haven't met in person. Atleast, not untill tomorrow. We "met" online about, oh God, what is it? five years ago now? He was my best online buddy. Then one day, I was pissed off with what is now a long forgotten ex-boyfriend, and we just broken up. I started to be a bitch to Roger and he was sooner or later pissed off at me. Then we talked again two months later. He asked me out and I said " sure." He is a really sweet man. He's always treated me the right way. I love him for that. With that thought, I fell asleep.

" So, how do you like it in Miami so far, Kris?" asked Sylvester as we pulled up to the Marriot.

" It's fine. I can handle it." I said as he reached for my bags. It was only two carry on bags. I grabbed them both out of underneath Lisa's pile.

" Thank you, seriously, thanks." I said as I gave him a sincere smile and hug. Lisa got out of the car and walked up to me.

" I'm going to miss you!" she cried as she latched onto me trying to give me the hug of death.

" No you wont. Besides, you will see me tomorrow." I said trying to wrench myself away away from her deathgrip. I walked up to the building after I said my goodbye-for-nows. the first thing I did was walk up to the reception desk to sign myself in.

" Hello miss, how are you today?" the desk clerk Maria asked. she was about 20 years old and had a bit of spanish accent. I smiled.

" I'm doing alright. My name is Krista Frasier? I have a reservation..." she cut me off, nodding her head vigerously.

" Yes, yes. I will give you your key," she said while reaching down to get the keys and a clipboard. She handed me the clipboard first. " sign here," she pointed to the line at the bottom.

I signed it." Thank you, is my cat up there?" I asked as she handed me the keys.

" Yes, ma'am. She is up there. That is one beautiful cat, miss." she said blushing a bit.

" Thank you. Her name is Tuna. Er, weird I know" I said giving her a smile as she stood there bewildered." I had a really random moment... and it was the first thing I fed her when I saved her."

" Oh." she laughed, " dinner is at seven. Thank you for choosing the Marriot as your place to stay the night."

" Thank you." I said as I turned away to go to the elevator.

The bellhop named Billy came up to me " Do you want help with your bags, miss?"

" No, thank you anyway. I can hadle it, but thanks for bringing my cat up, Billy."

" How did you know it was me?" he asked, confused.

" I didnt, but now I do. Thank you." I said as I smiled and gave him a nod goodbye. I got in the elevator. I pushed the button for the second floor.

The room was easy to find. It was two doors down on the left. As soon as I opened the door, I stubbed my toe on Tuna's cage that was in the middle of the floor.

" Ow! Shit! Hey there, Tunsa. How are you doing baby?" All I got for a responce was a hiss and growl. " If you are going to be a bitch, you can stay in the cage for the night," I warned as I popped a couple treats throught the gate.

My cat's relationship with me is very odd. I treat her as if she were my daughter. Everytime she gets pissed at me, I gave her a treat to make her shut up. It usually works, surprizingly. After Tuna calmed down, I stripped and got in the shower.

" Good!" she said sarcastically.

"Yeah right. This just means I'll be drinking like a motherfucker."

" Just save some for me!" she laughed.

" Not a chance," I said.

" Oh, I feel loved." she cried.

" Don't." and just then, our ride pulled up. A really hot deep red sportscar with skulls on the sides, a really good detailed paint job I must say. I fell in love with the car. I looked over at lisa as she stared at the driver. I leaned over and said, " dont gizz your pants now, wait for the hotel, or his house preferably."

She just turned bright red and smiled so big I thought that it would never stop growing. I just grinned to myself while I cooly walked up to Sylvester. I shook his hand and presented my name. He said hi, and then turned to Lisa. she hadn't moved from her spot since she saw him. He walked up to her, wrapped his arms around her and they kissed. I turned away and got in the back seat of the car, basking in its glory. Then I wondered what Roger and I would do the first time we saw each other. I grew sad for reasons I don't know. I stared outside the windowsheild out into the city. I grew even more sad...more so scared.

They out the luggage in back with me and started to drive. Off we went.

" So, where do we go to first?" asked Sylvester taking a long glance over to Lisa searching for an answer.

"Home"

"Hotel" I looked over at Lisa, she looked back.

" What? Don't you want to see Sylvester's other cars?" she said with a sly smirk on her face.

" Maybe some other time. Right now, I just want to go to bed" I lied. Lisa could tell, but she said alright.

" So where is the hotel?" asked Sylvester.

"Five blocks from your place." said Lisa a little too quick.

" Oh, so you stalked me?" asked Sylvester with the biggest grin on his face, glancing over at her. He watched as she grew deep crimson.

"NO! I figured I better look it up! Better safe than sorry, and if Krista handles this stuff on her own, we will all be screwed."

" Hardy har har." I say giving her my evil eye, " and shut up Lisa, you know full well you were stalking him. You even looked to see where the nearest Walmart is from his place." I said smoothly with a little bit of edge due to annoyance. I turned so I was looking out the left side window.

" Shut up, Krista!" Lisa said, putting one hand on her forhead trying to cover her, now, maroon face.

Sylvester just sat and drove with the biggest smile. I saw him reach over and hold lisa's hand lovingly. She looked as though a shit load of magma hit her.

I couldn't stomach it anymore, so I just started singing the song that was playing on the radio.

I saw my hotel in the distance.

" Seven blocks from here." I said.

" Oh! You're staying at the Marriot, nice choice."

Standing outside kicking the sidewalk with the back of my heel, while leaning my back against the building. The cigarette smoke is all you can smell on me by now. I went through an entire pack within the hour that I showed up at the airport. They wont let you smoke inside, which is complete bullshit. Even so, I walked-practically ran, as fast as I could to the outside after the gaurd guy named John told me in an annoyed tone that I "had to go outside for that!" so I went and finished off my last pack while I was waiting for my ride. I called the hotel making sure my reservation was still valid for the 5th time sine I went on the plane.

Florida is a huge difference from New York. more sunny. Maybe I'll actually get a tan down here.

Lisa came out of the building.

" Can I use your phone again?"

" No use. It will most likely be another hour untill he shows up."

"But I want to see him!," she whined.

" I dont care. just think, I have a longer wait to see my man than you do."

Actually I was calmer than I thought I would be about the whole situation.

" Let me have a drag of that" Lisa demanded.

" No! Go get your own!" I declared as she swiped the empty carton out of my hands.

" Damn! You smoke too much. You just opened this pack." she exclaimed.

"Making up for all the years that I have to quit. Wanna chop off as many years of my life as I possibly can before I see him."
