I haven’t spoken to him since yesterday. Tonight is the big night! I’ll write later!!
12:00am
OMgosh!!! It was awesome!! So many things happened tonight!! Let me try and writ them in order.
We were at the restaurant. When suddenly a saw this male god walk through the door. He looked Italian, hard wavy hair in a short pony tail, strong cheek bones, tall, slender, mystical smile, piercing eyes, and a Go-t beard. He was smoking hot!! Gorgeous man! And I didn’t think there was any other man more handsome than Andrew. While I was drooling, Andrew took my hand and whispered in my ear; “That is Gregor, wave to him so he can find the table.”
I stood up and waved, motioning him to come over. He smiled and walked over.
“Ah, you must be Andrew’s lovely date, Desiree. Am I correct?”
I nodded because I couldn’t find my voice. Andrew got up next to me, patted Gregor on the back and motioned for him to sit down next to Marc. Marc was glowing. He squeezed my hand and silently mouthed “sooo hot!! Thanks!!”
I would have loved to listen to Marc and Gregor’s conversation during the evening, but Andrew, Jen and Fred kept distracting me and talking to me and I was unable to listen to what was going on. All I know is that they were talking a lot and there was even a point in the evening when they held hands. It was adorable.
Fred and Andrew got started talking about cars. Fred was very impressed with Andrew’s knowledge on the development of cars. Mentally I laughed; obviously he was around when all the evolution of cars happened. Jennifer and I talked about cloths and other non-important topics. We ordered a huge home-made pizza and by the time it arrived we were starving.
Marc and Gregor were in deep conversation when the food arrived and it took us a few minutes to grab their attention and ask to serve themselves.
“So, Gregor..” Jennifer began. “What do you do? Are you a student?”
“No, I'm not a student. I graduated about a year ago. Right now I am the editor and chief at “Style-Faze” Magazine. I am in charge of making sure the articles are well written and I’m in charge of supervising the cloths designs.” Gregor answered politely in a deep sexy raspy voice. “The only bad part of my job is that my hours vary every day.”
“Wow!” Jennifer answered. “That is awesome! Style-Faze magazine??”
Marc seemed intimidated by the information Gregor had just given so I nudged Andrew to start up another conversation and get Marc involved.
“Marc…” Andrew said. “What is it you said were studying? “
“I am studying business management, but I am interested in fashion as well.”
“Really?” Gregor asked. “What lines in fashion are you interested in most?”
“Shoes” Marc replied shyly.
“Well then you definitely need Business Management first, because shoes are one of the most competing industries. Once you know how to play the game then you’ll own the shoe world.”
Marc smiled back and looked more confident than before. The topic changed for while as we ate. However one of the highlights of the evening, at least I think for Marc, was when Gregor wiped cheese off his chin. Even though I know he was embarrassed I think he was in his element having a guy ‘s eyes all over him. We were happily in conversation when an elderly couple came up to the table and said stared down at us. The old man was the first one to speak.
“I think it’s disgusting the display you have here in public.” He began. “It’s horrifying. You should be ashamed of yourself.” We could see he was staring directly at Marc. The old lady followed with more accusations.
“You are going against God. You are corrupting children´s minds. You should not be out in public…” by now heads were turning with the scandal the couple was making. Gregor stood up and looked straight at the couple.
“Are you done now?” he asked. “Have you finished with your accusations? Well now it’s your turn to listen to me. You two are the ones who should be ashamed of making such a show over something like this. You are the ones with the corrupted mind coming here and disrupting our dinner. We are friends sitting here having dinner. What is wrong here?”
The old man stared in shock. “You were holding hands with the young man next to you.”
“Don’t friends hold hands when they need comfort?” Gregor asked challengingly.
Andrew stood up next to him. “What if they were in a relationship? How are you doing your God’s work by wanting to humiliate them?”
Jennifer and I stood up next as well. Jennifer was the first one to speak after me. “How dare you accuse our friends.
The couple seemed embarresed and started walking away. However Gregor got the last word.
“After all that, you’re just going to walk away? Where is your apology for embarrassing us?”
By then the whole restaurant was in an uproar against them and wouldn’t let the couple leave until they apologized.
Things were a bit more calm after that. But it was a sight to see!! I don’t think Marc was every more proud of his blind date and sexuality as then. Nevertheless it caught my attention how hard it really is for homosexual people to express their feelings for each other openly.
Dinner finished seemed to be over too fast!! Before I knew it we were splitting the bill and going out separet ways. We stood outside the restaurant waiting for the valet parking person to bring us our car. Fred and Jennifer were in one corner kissing goodnight. It was a cold chilly night I simply tried staying warm in Andrews embrace.
A few meters away the valet guy brought Marc his car. Gregor stood held the car door open for him. Marc’s eyes searched his face, he stretched out his hand to shake it, however Gregor did not stretch his hand out in return.
“Would you mind if I kissed you goodnight?” Gregor asked him. Marc was blushing but I could tell he was tempted.
“No…I mean, I wouldn’t mind.” Marc shifted back and forth in place. “I mean, I you want to.”
Gregor leaned in just a few inches away from Marc’s face smiled and said “Do you want to?”
Marc stared into his eyes almost questioning if he wanted to answer. “Yes…but I’ve never kissed before.”
Gregor smiled took Marc’s face in his hands and whispered in his ear. “Close your eyes and I’ll guide you.” And then, ever so lightly and delicately kissed him on the lips. Marc tensed up a bit, but then seductively Gregor blew air on his lips and said “relax…”.
It´s hard to describe what happened next, except to say, that I’m sure Marc had a memorable first kiss and he was floating on air. Before he got in the car he started to take off Gregor’s jacket, (he had let it to him earlier because it was cold in the restaurant). However Gregor told him he should keep it until the next time they met. I know that gave Marc hope that they would definitely see each other again.
Andrew had agreed to drive Gregor back “home” so he rode in the car with us. As soon as we got in the car and were alone I started thanking him over and over again for being such a good sport at dinner.
He simply nodded and told me he was delighted to help Andrew’s girl out.
“I actually had a good time” he said.
“I am glad. I am forever in your debt.”
Andrew laughed and turned to his friend. “So when are you going to see him again?”
“Well, all I have is time, so…” he turned to look at me sitting in the back seat. “Desiree if you don’t mind. I’m interested, or at least available to date him for a year or so.”
“A year?” I gasped.
“Well love,” Gregor said. “Unlike your relationship with Andrew, Marc does not know I am immortal. It things go on beyond a year then he will see that ii never age. He is a very sentimental character, knowing something like that would devastate him. I may have been dead for years, but I’m not cold-hearted enough not to take into consideration other people’s feelings.”
“I really appreciate your consideration towards Marc’s feelings. However I don’t want to take advantage of you either.”
“I don’t have anything interesting going on right now. I have loads of spare time. I work in the day, but I’m free afternoons and evenings. Don’t worry about my feelings Desiree…”
I leaned into the front seat and kissed his cheek. “Thank you for your help.”
We rode in silent the rest for awhile, we were going to drop Gregor off at his house first. I began to doze off. I leaned back into the seat and closed my eyes. I heard a head turn to look in the back seat at me, then Gregor’s voice say. “I think she fell asleep.”
“She has had a stressful day.” Andrew answered. “Let her rest.”
“I can’t believe you are dating again. I thought it would be many more years before you loved again.”
“Love was hardly what brought us together.” Andrew said. I would hear his voice getting a bit angry.
If love didn’t bring us together, what did? I wondered faking that I was asleep.
Andrew continued; “She is the daughter of the hospital’s main doctor. She has an easy access into the hospital so I can eat. She is useful to me.
“She is also weak.” Gregor replied. “She has diabetes. I saw her checking her sugar level by the bathroom. Why do you want her so badly?”
“She is not weak. She is stronger than any other girl I’ve met. She may have flaws or unfortunate characteristics, but she is very strong woman. I am protective over her because unlike you, I have not been able to learn how to live without blood.”
“So you want her just because she can provide you with food?”
“No… not just that.” I could hear his head turn and look at me. I continued to pretend to be sleeping. He turned back to look at Gregor and whispered. “I feel complete with her around. I enjoy talking with her or simply having her listen. She understands me, beyond my vampire self.”
Gregor chuckled and simply said. “oh, boy, you sure are in deep.”
I heard Andrew laugh as well. I couldn’t believe what I’d just heard. ‘he feels complete with me’ I thought. Wow.
“Do you know who she looks like?” Gregor continued. “She is almost identical to your second wife Margaret Coon. The duchess from that island we visited a couple centuries ago. Remember?”
Grunting Andrew replied. “Of course I remember.” –pause—“It´s funny you would say that… I had not noticed.” He chuckled. “Well if she is Margaret reincarnated I hope she has more of a personality this time around…”
It was interesting hearing that conversation between them. I should have known. If you could live forever, obviously you could get married many times. I wondered how many times he’s been married.
Andrew patted Gregor´s back. “You’re thinking about Jasper. Aren’t you?”
“It’s hard not to. I mean I could have sworn he was in my arms tonight just like he was in my arms all those years ago. Marc is identical to him. Like a rebirth of him.” Gregor put down the window, I could feel the cold air come in. “His eyes, Andrew. His eyes had the same questioning feeling that Jasper had. His laughter is even the same.”
“Then take a chance Gregor.” Andrew said. “If he is Jasper, you need to take a chance. You don’t get second chances in love much. I don’t want you moping around another 4 centuries.”
“Homosexuality is a bit more scandalous than before. Back then it was acceptable for us to love each other. Now a day, our love could destroy his life. Besides I’m not even sure he is Jasper.
“Regardless if he is or not, I saw a spark tonight.”
Gregor laughed.
I heard them turn into a driveway and Gregor get out of the car.
“Thank Desiree for inviting me to come along.” He said before he got out. “and Andrew… Don’t ruin it. Her heart is on the line as much as yours is.”
“I know. That’s what scares me….”
They whispered a few other things that I was unable to hear. But all I can say for now is this.
I will make sure he starts falling in love with me as much as I am starting to fall in love with him.
