Liam Alber and his best friend, John Johnson. That's how it's always been. Just them. They’ve been living a decent life; enjoying each other’s company for as long as they can remember. Liam worked at a small town restaurant. John worked at the city’s radio station. They were opposites. Liam was more reserved and independent while John was social and interactively weird. But that didn't ruin the strong bond they had. But that soon changed. Their life took an unexpected turn after John’s curiosity got the best of him. John heard rumors. He wanted to know more about the mysterious mythical blood-sucking creatures. He crossed a line he didn't know existed which left him lying in a hospital bed. Liam dug an even bigger hole; forcing himself into John’s problems. Liam soon learned this world wasn’t what it seemed. Liam snooped around, now he’s caught up in a vampire rivalry war. What will Liam do when he finds out his boss isn’t who he seems? What will Liam do when he finds out his boss is one of those creatures who hurt his best friend? How will he be able to trust him? How will they work together? How will he react when sudden feelings develop? Will he accept them or run away?
View MoreI didn’t know why he was calling me to the office, but I quickly nodded. I did not want to make the situation worse. Hopefully, it wasn’t to talk about all the mistakes I had previously made today. Did the customers complain?We walked into his office. I stood awkwardly, looking around. He nodded his head toward the chairs. “Take a seat.” I hesitantly sat down as he sat on the front of his desk looking at me. “Mr. Alber. Tell me. What is your problem today?” I looked everywhere but his eyes, trying to come up with a good excuse. But my mind once again betrayed me as it went blank. “Is it perhaps because of yesterday’s event?”I snapped my head up looking at him in surprise. Did he know? Did he see me yesterday? Or am I just overthinking it?“What do you mean?” I asked, acting dumbfounded. He smirked. “Don’t play me for a fool. You were at the club last night.”He saw me!“You must have mistaken me for someone else Mr. Dome.” He shook his head. “No. I know I am not mistaken. I sm
John’s eyes widened as he sat up straight ignoring the immense pain that shot through his spine. “No! You aren’t going! If you go, you’ll get hurt! And I don’t want to see you get hurt!” I huffed angrily. “How do you think I feel right now? When I got that call from the hospital receptionist telling me you were admitted here, I didn't know what to do. My brain stopped working. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I feel useless as I sit here and watch as you try to hide your pain from me. Do you think I don't see the small movements you make to try and ease the pain?! It hurts me to see you so beat up. I can’t stand seeing you like this!” The glare in John’s eyes softened. “Which is why I don’t want you to go. I know I’m being selfish by asking you not to go and just act as if nothing happened. I can only imagine how you feel right now. I honestly don’t want to be in your position right now. If I had to endure this again just so you wouldn’t have to, then I would. So, please don’
I sat in the chair sitting beside the bed. “Liam, is t-that you?” I sighed, running my fingers through his hair. “Yeah, it's me JJ. What happened to you?” John chuckled lightly, hissing in pain as he did. “It's a long story” I nodded. “I’ll be here for however long you need.”He looked at me with hooded eyes, taking shallow breaths. “It happened at the nightclub. I walked in. Nothing seemed shady. It was a normal club. Maybe it was just a rumor. At least that's what I thought. But I wish I never would have gone. People were looking at me weirdly, but I didn’t think much of it at first. I walked to the bar. The men sitting beside me were side-eyeing. It was starting to creep me out. “Excuse me, I’d like a margarita!” The bartender looked at me in amusement. “We don’t serve those here.” “I’ll have a Cosmopolitan then.” “Don’t have it.” “Moscow?” “Nope” “Old fashioned?” “No” What kind of bar doesn’t serve these common beverages? “What do you have then?” He eyed me up and do
I laughed in his face like he was crazy. “You're kidding, right? I don’t go to clubs. You know this already.” John groaned in annoyance. “You need to get out and have some fun. You only live one life.” I got up from the couch and went to the kitchen to heat the leftover pasta from yesterday. “Well, that’s not my type of fun.” He shrugged his shoulders. “You’re such a stick in the mud. But whatever, suit yourself. I’m going tomorrow after work to check it out myself.” I nodded. “Yeah, you do that.” I sat at the kitchen table eating my pasta watching as he wiggled excitedly in his seat. “I can’t wait. I wonder if they fit their stereotype. Pale skin, formal clothing, knife-sharp fingernails, pearly white fangs, and super speed. Maybe I can find myself a vampire boyfriend. That would be so cool!” I chuckled at his excitement. “Go for it. Whatever helps you sleep at night. Feel free to use the guest room. You know where everything is.” I placed my plate in the sink. I will wash th
It was a busy day at A-Dome. The sound of clattering plates, the smell of freshly cooked meat, and the sweet aroma of mixed desserts. Liam was busy at work like always. “Good evening, can I start you off with some drinks?”The man looked Liam up and down. Liam was oblivious to the sexual tension that was forming. “Yea, your number would be great.” Liam was caught off guard. Was this man flirting with him? Either way, he needed to keep his composure. “Sorry sir, but that isn’t on the menu. We have Sweet tea, Lemonade, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi-““That isn’t what I asked for. What I want is your number.” Liam was starting to feel a little annoyed. He had been working since this morning. All he wanted was to finish his work shift so he could go home and rest. But instead, he had to deal with a troublesome customer. “Sir, I am only your waiter and nothing more”Liam gasped as the man pulled him towards him. “Excuse me?! What do you think you're doing?!”The man chuckled. “Taking what I want
