Why My Blood?

The Rehearsal Dinner

Yes! This is so exciting! I haven’t felt so many feelings in a while… I can’t believe tomorrow is Christmas and my wedding to Aiden.

Oh shit! That also means I have to tell Aiden my secret tonight. I really don’t want him to know, but since he is my fiancé. I have to tell him. Maybe he won’t freak out as bad as I think.

“I’d like to make a toast to the bride and groom.”

Oh great! Here we go.

“May your lives’ together be happy and full of joy.”

I feel my dad’s hand on my shoulder.

“I just thought that would be simple, yet sweet. Right?”
“Sure, Dad.”
“Good. Cause tomorrow’s is going to be longer.”

Look! Now he’s going to cry. And, it’s not even the wedding. Ugh!

I feel another person’s hands on me. Those are so Aiden’s. I love the way his hands fit perfectly on my body. Have I said that before?

“You look so beautiful tonight. I can’t wait to have you tomorrow. And we already have a honeymoon booked. Don’t worry, I have it under control.”
“Don’t you always?”
“Remember, I love you. Longer than time itself.”

Oh crap. Now, I’m gonna cry.

“I love you too.”
“Oh! I almost forgot. Two weeks ago you said that you were going to tell me what’s been on your mind. I want to know now.”
“Yeah, um, about that.”
“Ashlynn, you can tell me anything. I won’t judge you. You know that.”
“I know, but I don’t know if I should tell you.”
“Babe”
“Okay. We need to get out of here then. Somewhere private.”
“’Kay. Where do you want to go?”
“Um, you pick. But somewhere private.”
“The park.”
~~~~~~~
“Aiden, there is no easy way for saying this.”
“Ashlynn, baby, you’re starting to worry me.”
“Well, you should be a little worried.”
“You’re not cheating are you?”
“Fuck no! I wouldn’t do that to you!”
“Okay. Just making sure. Now tell me what’s going on!”
“Aiden…”
“Dammit. Just tell me!”
“I’m… a…”
“WHAT!?!?!”
“A vampire.”
