The Dracula Discreet The Team Of Us
“We’ll be just outside the loading door,” he answered while tightening his hand on mine a little. “Let’s go out a bit, Phone and cigarettes only, and water.” I followed him after grabbing the things he requested with one hand, as he didn’t release our holding hands when we left our seats. A few of our fellow club members looked at him, pulling me and walking away from the audience rows to the stairs at the side of the stage. A little worry slipped into my mind when I saw some of them whispering to each other after seeing us. What are they gonna think about this? We walked barefooted until we found a huge rolling door on the loading dock backstage entrance, heading outside. He opened the door beside the rolling door and closed it after I walked through. We walked for a few steps until we reached the stairs down to the parking lot. It was way past the last class's time, so the campus was mostly empty. The sun was almost completely set, leaving only a little burst of dark orange in th

I and Clay finished our cigarettes before his friends and got back into the hall together. Thankfully, Trey was still drilling a scene with Peter and Angelique, and we sat back in the front row, waiting. A few minutes later, Trey said to the stage, “Cut. We are still gonna polish this scene but I love it so far. Next, Dracula and Lucy, please.” We exchanged glances for a second before he nodded and smiled while standing up. I follow him and walk up to the stage, facing Trey. “Guys, I need you to show your last week's homework before moving on to the singing and sleepwalking scene. Music? Oh gosh, where are those bastards Fork and Box?”, he complained after looking over the hall and failing to find his buddies. “Outside, loading dock, smoking. We were just there too.” Clay answered, grinning. “Fine. Can you give me the biting on the bed scene? Did you rehearse it by yourself?”, He asked when grinning. Clay stifled a smile before answering “Hey! But yes, on a serious answer, thank

“Blackout and CUT!” Trey’s voice snapped me out of my character. “Jerry, please note this is a blackout, we need the shocking effect.”Jerry, our head of lighting, gestured his thumbs up and scribbled on his script. I watched Ethan and Trey converse for a few seconds, dazing a little while sitting up before I felt a soft tap on my upper arm.“Anita”, Clay whispered.“Yes?”“I’m sorry,” he said while running his hand down to my hand and holding it.“What for?”. I looked at my hand being held warmly before looking up.“The bite.”I smiled. “No, it didn’t hurt. I was screaming for better sound effects.”He scoffed a little. “Ah, yes, I forgot how talented you are. That scream sounded painful.”“I should’ve warned you before so you don’t feel guilty, sorry.”“Nah, you can improve all you want, I will follow. We’ll find the scene dynamics that suit us best. I’ll tell Trey later we will try that way maybe for the next 1-2 weeks?”Hey, Clay sounded very… professional. Was he mad at me becaus

The troublesome scene that we were reluctant to act on was rehearsed smoothly, at least by my and Clayton’s standards. But suddenly, Ethan, Clay’s close friend and our play’s music director, wanted to say something to us. “I like it, but… could I go up and discuss something before we try again or get into another scene?”, Ethan proposed, looking back and forth to Clay and Trey.Clayton and I exchanged looks. What are the things Ethan wanted to say? What if he said we are too much or not expecting the scene to be executed like that?“Up to Mud, then, Fork. No problem with me.” Trey said.Ethan walked up to talk to us. He brushes his hands together before saying a word. “Guys, let’s just be frank. I know you both don’t want to appear too intimate in public as this is a personal matter and I respect that, but… I think this will be a good addition to the play’s unique points. Most of the other Dracula plays only focus on the Dracula-Mina relationships, but rarely on Dracula-Lucy. She’s n

Today is the first day of my sophomore year at Carmen College of Literature and Arts, where I study History and Classical Literature Studies. I walked out of my dorm and still felt very sleepy because last night my dorm was having an unofficial pajama party to celebrate the last day of our summer break. We danced, we sang, drank, and foolishly (tended to) forgot that tomorrow’s gonna be the start of a new semester. When I left the building at 7.30, hardly anyone was up. I stepped on my mustard flat shoes lazily across the street, glancing back before I walked away from that small three-floored building. The dorm only accepts female students so it’s pretty neat, even though the building is looking rather old with an exposed red brick, old-time style from the last century. I lived there with around 35-40 other students from various colleges and universities, but most of them study in a state university a block away from the dorm. I have lived in this dorm since I left my homet

That first image remained in my mind forever. After that day, I started to notice him when he was around, usually sitting alone, reading behind the long desk at one of the outdoor study corners facing the campus park. Nobody ever gets closer than two chairs beside him, and it’s a common thing. I just looked at him from the distance. But somehow at the same time, I felt more and more eager to know him personally because his mysterious and out-of-reach aura somehow attracts me more into him. I guess I am a bit of a competitive and easily challenged person, so I feel more attracted to someone who looks distant and unapproachable like him.I might sound like a stalker right now. No, I am not intended to stalk on him, yet every single time I saw him, I can’t help but watch him closely, just like today at the parking lot (Well, maybe just a bit!) He’s a jewel to my eye, 185-190 cm tall, wavy shoulder-long black hair, often tied in a bun like a far-east imperial pr

After the bumping incident, every time we’re passed each other I always tried to manage a smile at him or greeted him. Sometimes he smiled back a little, some other times he just nodded cooly. But that was okay. As long as I get a slight response from him, I am totally fine. Well. I don’t really mean to get close to him, but that’s just me. I just can't help myself to try to get my way to someone I have a crush on and never had enough patience to continue having a crush on someone I don’t know. And counting the last summer break, I already have a crush on him for more than four months without approaching him in any way. Now I realized that he just got a few close friends at the campus, and it was only with them that he usually talked or walked together. There were three of them, all of them are also at their senior year, and the boys are usually sitting next to him at the cafeteria, or in the reading aisle. One of them is Pax, my theatre club senior, also in the same major a

Somehow, after that first conversation, his reaction towards me changed. He wasn’t really cold around me. He would smile wider or say hi first when we ran into each other in the corridor or anywhere around campus. Even once or twice, when he’s walking with his friends, he actually can say something like, “Hey, Anita. Have a nice day”. Well, I think once you know or talk to him personally, he was just like everybody else, just a bit quieter and much more good-looking… But I think my first step has succeeded, I finally know the man I have crushed into in person. And I still think I’m not having a crush on him because he’s famous, but just a cool, gorgeous smoking man on campus.I have a few classmates that are closer to me than others. We’re usually together in class, and in the cafeteria, but we’re not really close outside campus, though. Even so, I know they’re all quite a big fan of Clayton, since our freshman days. Georgina, one of my close friends, was one of his b

Right after the professor dismissed the class, I put all my things inside the bag. The girls looked at me as I stand up from my seat “Can’t wait to meet the boy, huh, pixie?” Jess teased. I smiled. “Haven’t seen him since yesterday after class…” “So you’ll be seeing Clay again this afternoon?” Georgina asked. I felt thunderstruck. What’s this? How does she know that the one I’m seeing is Clayton? “Huh? What do you mean?” I blabbered, trying to hide a little of the panic feeling inside. “Georgina means the rehearsal, Anita. You’ll be meeting Clayton at the rehearsal because you and he are working together on the performance, right?” “Ah, that. Yes, probably, if he doesn’t have another schedule. I mean, unlike me, he’s busy working…” I tried to hide my nervousness with a little bit of sarcasm. Sorry, Clay. “Yeah, he’s a big shot. He probably won’t have time to attend all the rehearsals,” Georgina replied. “I guess so too. But as long as he shows up on the performance day, I guess
The Dracula Discreet The Overnight Bag
A few hours later, after Sasha and I were already taking turns in showers, I sat at my bed, putting on skincare and body butter (I took the Tropical Mango and Yuzu scented one from the hamper), then heard a ring on my phone. “Clayton?” Sasha asked me while walking out of the shower, drying her curly hair with a towel. I nodded before answering. “Hey, driving home?” “Hey babe, yeah, just left the meeting.” His voice seems a little cheerful. I can feel him smiling. “Am I bothering the girl’s time?” “We just finished taking turns showering after the first part of the girl’s night. More later coming up.” “What are you doing now?” “Putting on body butter.” “Which one?” “Mango and Yuzu.” “Seems fresh. Will I get to be able to smell it on you tomorrow?” “Sure, I’ll use the body spray too.” “Great. You can put me on speakerphone if your hand is busy.” “You sure?” “Sure. Only Sasha is in the room, right?” “Yeah, our room is two-person only.” I put him on speakerphone and Sasha
The Dracula Discreet The Questionable Gifts and Impromptu Reenactment
I walked into the class, looking for the girls that usually save an empty chair beside them for me. Ah, there they are. Seeing Georgina and Jess in the middle row, a little to the back, I sat on the chair beside them, giving another empty chair nearest to the aisle for Caddie. “Hi girls, sorry for this morning,” I talked while smiling apologetically. “No probs. You just got back from his place?” asked Jess. “Coming to campus with him, actually. Is Caddie coming?” “Yeah, still buying mineral water and some aspirin. She said she was binge-watching last night until morning, again, that movie freak,” Georgina said jokingly. “Oh, and you missed your chance to get a free coffee, Caddie drinks both hers and yours. I bet she’ll gonna complain later of the panda eyes again, but never change her habit.” I responded. “I know what to give for her birthday, then. A hydrogel eye mask.” “Call dibs on the reusable sleeping eye mask
The Dracula Discreet The Guest Parking
He dropped me off at the dorm in a quick, kinda rushing manner. It’s broad daylight, lunchtime, and if anybody saw him, or even recognized his car, it could have turned badly. I pecked his cheek quickly, said thanks, and reached for the door handle on my side to open before he held my other wrist and pulled a little. I looked at his face and smiled. “Yes?” He pulled again to gesture me to get closer, smiling, then kissed my lips for a few moments, “Thank you.” “For what?” I answered with a little questioning eye. “For spending time with me.” I smiled before replying, “Thank you for the dinner too. And this hell of a hamper.” He smiled back widely, a little lighter on the expression and the usual mischievous glint in his eyes slipped a little. “At least you don’t have to think about buying body care and maybe makeup until the end of the year.” “More like, the end of NEXT year, I predict.” He smirked. “The

Clayton laid his body on top of me, but before he got inside, he brushed my rather sweaty forehead and smiled. “You’re sweating. We should have a cold shower after.” I looked up at his face, playing coy, and replied, “Every time I met you should be ended with a cold shower, indeed.” He smirked. “Now you are the tease.” I smiled slightly before he kissed me. Releasing his lips from mine, he said, “You are really something else. I can't resist you.” Some words slipped into my mind after hearing him but I was getting sidetracked when he kissed and get into me again. He moved his body above me, our torso and lower touched with each other and rubbed intensely. I moaned again by the pleasure he gave. Damn, at this rate, not only him that would be able to reach the peak, I would easily do too, again. He held his body up by putting his elbows on the sides of my head, as our faces were only inches apart. Getting even c
