Chapter 5
Once he got to Carol's apartment as it was still a little early from the time she had said, decided to go up and knock on the door
*Knock Knock*
"I'm coming" yelled a voice on the other side of the door.
Opening the door he saw Carol with her wet hair tied back, swallowing some saliva as he tried to greet her casually.
''Hello, Carol'' Damian said with his best smile.
"Wow, hello Damian you arrived a little earlier," Carol said smiling before moving away from him to let him in.
"I'm still getting ready, give me a few minutes," Carol said as she walked into her room.Reaad the latest stories on
'' Sure '' He said as he looked around the apartment, there were several photos mostly with Maria and a girl who I assume is her daughter.
There were also photos of Carol with airplanes and in her pilot suit.
He finally sat up and started playing with his vampire eyesight, he could see all the people in the building and beyond, but of course, he only saw floating hearts, while playing with his eyesight Carol finally got ready.
When Carol finished preparing to go out, she returned to the room where Damian was and seemed to see that his eyes were no longer blue but a bright red but as if it were an illusion it quickly disappeared and he smiled at her, Carol decided not to think too much about it believing she saw wrong.
''Come on, I'm ready,'' Carol said while helping him up from the sofa.
Damian took advantage of Carol's strength and pushed himself closer to her before wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her.
Carol was gleefully surprised and tried to reciprocate the kiss as best she could since it was her first time.
Soon her lips parted and they looked at each other, Carol had her cheeks red and she was embarrassed so she rested her head on Damian's chest.
Damian just slowly stroked her hair as he hugged her, soon Carol looked up from his and smiled at him before saying:
"Come on, we don't want to be late right?"
''Of course not'' Damian said with a soft smile before taking his hand.
Walking hand in hand with her they reached his car where Damian opened the door for her before helping her in, and finally, her hands had to be separated.
While Damian was guided by Carol to Maria's house there was a comfortable atmosphere between the two, although they had not confirmed any type of feeling or relationship that was enough for now.
Before going to Maria's house she stopped by a pizzeria that Carol knew and said was very good, after buying 2 pizzas she drove to Maria's house.
After half an hour they arrived at a house on the outskirts of the city, it was not the house that appears in the film since it was not in Los Angeles, apparently, Maria likes to live in these types of houses away from densely populated areas.
The two got out of the car while Damian was carrying the pizzas and approached the door, as he walked Carol took the initiative to join her arms with a mischievous smile.
'Sometimes this tough girl is really adorable' Damian thought looking at her fondly.
After knocking on the door, opened a small girl who seemed to be 5 years old.
"Aunt Carol!" she yells before jumping up and hugging Carol.
"Monica, be careful when you jump," she said as she hugged and lifted the little girl.
Suddenly, a shout was heard from inside the house: "Monica! Is Carol here?"
'' Yes, mom, auntie Carol is her- '' Monica stopped suddenly when she realized that there was someone else with her aunt and she looked at him curiously.
''Hello, Monica, I'm Damian, you could say I'm a friend of your aunt Carol,'' Damian said, smiling at the girl.
''Hello, why is your hair so weird?'' Monica asked curiously.
Carol hearing her question also looked at him intently wanting to know the answer.
At the moment that Monica asked that Maria also arrived and listened.
He now had 3 pairs of curious eyes staring at him intently.
'' The reason for my hair is because I am different from humans, I promise I will tell you later '' He said with a slightly mysterious smile.
Carol and Maria were surprised by his words since he spoke of humans as something alien to him as if he were not human, but that is impossible, right?.
Damian without letting them think too much about his words put the pizza boxes in Maria's arms.
"Okay, let's go into the house," Maria said.
They all entered and Monica immediately put her eyes on Damian.
''Uncle Damian let's play something'' Monica said happy to have someone new to play with.
''Sure, tell me what you want to play'' Damian said smiling at the little girl.
''Let's play throwing paper airplanes in the yard'' Monica said.
"Okay, take me," Damian said.
''Okay, kids go out and play adults have to talk'' Carol said joking.
Damian just rolled his eyes at Carol.
Monica quickly took hold of Damian's hand before pulling him out into the yard.
''...''
''Whose side are you on!?'" Carol yelled at him as she punched him in the chest.
After saying that Carol got up and sat next to Damian, she couldn't help but glance at what she felt when she was sitting and she was speechless.
"Stop talking nonsense and put on the movie," Carol said in an exasperated voice.
'' Well, well, don't be angry that you will have wrinkles remember that your boyfriend is younger than you, you have to take care of yourself so as not to look like his mother '' Maria said mockingly.
*sigh*
''I give up, just put the movie on'' Carol said defeated.
''It's really the first time I've gotten one on you hahaha'' Maria laughed happily.
''girls you get along very well'' Damian said.
Carol just gave him an annoyed look before leaning into him and waiting for the movie to start.
Apparently, it was the movie 'Back to the future' he's not really a fan of those movies, after all, he really doesn't like movies with time travel, as they complicate everything.
Even though he had already seen it, Carol and Maria hadn't yet, after all, it was only been released a few years ago.
They seemed really amused by the film as it was something innovative.
Soon 2 hours passed and the movie was over, it was already late so they decided to leave.
"Goodbye guys, take care, don't do anything I wouldn't do," Maria said from the door.
Maria has a daughter so saying that is kind of funny.
'' Goodbye Maria, take care see you soon '' Damian said with a smile.
"Bye see you at work," Carol said.
Tomorrow was Monday and from what Damian heard Carol had to report to base tomorrow.
After getting in the car, they drove back, on the way Damian couldn't help but ask.
''Do you want to stay at my house?''
Carol just looked at him speechlessly before saying.
''Better stay at my house, I have a gun in case you try something funny''
"Great, then I'll stay at your place, I hope your bed is comfortable," Damian said happily.
''Smooth, my butt, it was a sarcastic response, you are not staying in my house,'' Carol said scathingly.
"Is it really Smooth?" Damian said with a serious look as he looked at her.
''Fuck you''
''I can't do it alone, how about you help me?'' Damian said jokingly.
They continued joking with each other until they reached Carol's apartment.
They both went upstairs and soon they were at Carol's door, with her looking at him with daggers.
''Come on let me stay, or would you not bear the temptation to do something to me?'' Damian said joking, he wanted their relationship to move forward a little faster, he felt that he had little time.
*Sigh*
"Fine, you can stay but be careful, I'm watching you," Carol said with false warning.
"Great, show me your room and bathroom," Damian said happily.
After Carol had showered and brushed her teeth, she sat on her bed in her slightly oversized pajamas to wait for Damian to finish.
Although Damian didn't really need to bathe or brush his teeth he still did it out of habit and because he didn't want to appear dirty to those close to him, at least until they knew he was a vampire.
After cleaning himself, he blatantly climbed onto Carol's bed, he lay down and tucked himself in before looking at Carol with a look as if to say why doesn't she go to bed yet and turn off the light.
Partly exasperated and mostly shy and nervous, Carol got up, turned off the light, and lay down stiffly next to Damian, even though they weren't actually touching.
Although Carol seemed very bold when she straddled him at Maria's house, it was clear to see that it was very different from sleeping with him.
While Carol couldn't sleep from all the random thoughts, a hand from the darkness reached out to her waist and pulled her, she was soon embraced and her back touched Damian's chest.
"Sleep, tomorrow you have to get up early," Damian said quietly.
''It's not easy with you holding me,'' Carol said through clenched teeth.
''Are you afraid you could do something to me? Don't worry, I know how to defend myself'' Damian said jokingly.
"Don't worry, just sleep, we'll talk tomorrow," Damian said as he put an arm under his neck.
Carol even though she was nervous, also felt safe for some reason, in a bed with a man she met 3 days ago, she really was crazy, but she must not deny that she felt calm.
Little by little Carol fell asleep, it was the best dream she had had.
'She really does look adorable in her sleep, like a tigress hiding her fangs' He thought amusedly before he too 'sleep'.
