"Well, it is not exactly a ceremony with only vampires just because it is his coming of age ceremony. There are a lot of people in our circle who are fine with us being vampires. In fact, they are more interested in us than they are about them."
"So it is completely fine." Mrs. Night said.
"Oh, alright Mrs. Night. I will try to ask my parents for permission. When is it again?" Rayme asked.
"Wednesday next week, right after you two return from the trip." She said.
After saying that, Mrs. Night excused herself and left the room. Rayme and Dylan were alone in the room again.
Even when his mom was there, he couldn't stop staring at her. It was as if he was addicted to her.
"stop staring at me like that. I should return home now. See you at school tomorrow." Rayme said. She got up and walked to the door, but right before she could open it, Dylan stepped in, not allowing her to go out.
"Did I say you could go home?" He asked.
"Well, I should be home now. So bye." Rayme tried to escape.
"If you wanna go home you gotto kiss me, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety at school." Dylan said as he looked at her with his lustful eyes.
Knowing that she really won't get to go home, she landed a kiss on his cheek and went out.
"Dylan, you stay right there. Don't you dare sit up!" Rayme ran to the kitchen to tell Mrs. Night that she was leaving, but it was only then she realized that she didn't have her car to go back. She ended up returning to Dylan.
"Don't worry, I already had my fill. I will send you home since you are in a hurry. Did you pick up all your stuff?" He asked.
"Rayme, wait!" It was Mrs. Night's voice. Mrs. Night came to her with a bag full of dresses.
"I know that they are a bit old and I have worn them before, but well, I didn't wear them for more than twice. They are going to waste now that I have grown old, so if you would like, I would like to give you some." Mrs. Night said.
"Sure thing Mrs. Night. Your clothes are so beautiful. I am pretty sure you made everyone freeze in surprise."
"Now that… I sure did." She said, smiling, and handed over the bag of dresses to Rayme.
Dylan drove Rayme back to her house. "I will be here tomorrow early in the morning, otherwise we are going to be late for breakfast."
"Alright," Rayme said as she got off the car.
She opened the door to enter; she knew that she was in trouble after seeing what was behind the door. It was her parents. They were standing there with their hands crossed.
Even before she could take another step into the house, they asked, "what were you two doing last night that you couldn't even come home? I clearly told you to be home."
"Mom, come on, I didn't do anything with him. We bought a lot of stuff so it was me who suggested dropping them over at his place before we come home. When we went there it was me who felt asleep on their couch. So I guess Mrs. Night called and asked you permission to let me stay over.""
"I am not the type to go around fooling with boys at night. Mom, you know that more than anyone. So why doubt me now?"
"No, no, I am just making sure that you were not up to anything."
"Did you have breakfast, by the way?" Rayme's mom asked while taking some of the weight to her hands.
"Ah yes, they made waffles today, so I ate until I was full." Rayme said.
"Good to hear cause I thought you didn't eat much as usual because it is pancakes. If I am correct, you should be preparing for the trip tomorrow. Mr. Night already sent your dad all the information including the hotel you are staying, your room number and the places you are visiting so that we won't be worried."
"If he didn't send that, after seeing what happened last night, I was not going to let you go anywhere with him. Kids these days cannot be trusted." Rayme's mom said with a smirk on her face.
"I already put together some clothes for you. You can make the adjustments and pack them."
"Thanks mom, take a look at what is inside those bags. There are a lot of sweets, it surprised me to see all sorts of Asian sweets there. So I bought a lot. Then I am going to my room."
Rayme went to her room and closed the door. She was indeed feeling a little pain where she was bitten, but she kept it hidden, not wanting to make others worried. Also, she knew that if her parents knew that it would be much worse that two nations going to war.
Rayme spent the rest of the day wondering about what will happen during their trip. She ended up falling asleep without even having dinner.
The next morning, she woke up super early to get ready. She wore a white shirt and a light pink colour sleeveless short dress and assembled the jewelry set in her purse. After putting on a pair of comfortable shoes, she went down.
It was already 6 in the morning, seeing pre-prepared food on the table, she knew that her mom went back to sleep after getting something ready for her and Dylan. She went into her parents' room to wake them both up. After bidding them both farewell, she waited in the living room for Dylan.
It was exactly 6.15 when he ringed the bell of the house. She went to the door and opened it for him.
Dylan looked around to see someone was around and kissed her on the lips.
"Let's go then," he said, taking Rayme's luggage. They both got into the car and turned on the navigation before they set off.
Dylan had the music turned on because Rayme loved music so much. When he wanted to talk to her, he would pose the music and talk. Though Rayme didn't like him interrupting the song, she knew that he was being considerate of her.
"So… I wanted to ask you something. Do you want to sleep in the same room with me?" He asked, making her almost choke.
Though it was exactly what she wanted, she couldn't get herself to say those words. She didn't know about how ready he was, but she had everything ready, including matching underwear. Even after hearing those words, Rayme couldn't speak her mind.
"Then I will take this silence as a no," he said in a tone of disappointment.
Knowing that she was about to lose her chance, she shouted. "Yes, I want to sleep with you!"
Dylan stopped the car on the side of the road and looked at Rayme, not being able to believe what she just said. He was speechless, but he loved that about her. Cause he too was just as same as Rayme when it comes to expressing his ideas.
"Well, I already made arrangements for us to sleep together, my father already appointed some people to look over us and make sure that we don't sleep together but well it was more than easy for me to find out who they were and convince them with some money."
"They won't spill a word."
"Also, I bought everything we will need." He said, making Rayme almost choke on air again.
Seeing no reply from Rayme, he got the car back onto the road and continued to drive. It was already 9 when they arrived at the hotel. As soon as they arrived, they both were escorted inside to have breakfast. They were treated to a wide variety of food and lots of rare fruits.
"Master Dylan and Young lady Rayme. I will escort you to your rooms. Is there anything else you would like to know before you go to your rooms?" A man asked.
"Well, we are thinking of going to the beach in the evening. I hope the area behind the resort is safe to swim?" Dylan asked.
"Yes, of course, there is a lifeguard there even during the night. It will be fine as long as you don't swim far since it is the night. Also, the sea here is not that deep, so it is safe to swim. Also, Young Master, your father asked me to take you to visit the botanical garden after lunch."
"Got it," Dylan said, getting up. Rayme and Dylan both followed the man to their room. Though he expected the man to leave, he didn't. Even after they closed the doors. He was outside the room reading a book.
