"I'm surrounded by unbelievably beautiful women and men all the time so I forget." with a soft laugh "And I know a gay man that seems to happily put up with me." with a grin at him.

He laughed softly.

"Well, if I weren't gay, I'd do you. Does that help?"

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"Yes it does, I just keep finding sweet guys that have huge local ties and I feel bad because you make a new family when you become what we are." looking at him "And I can't do that to someone that's already so tied to here."

His brows rose.

"Why? Or rather, why not? Kindred do it all the time. The truth is, if they truly care for you, Rachel, they won't mind."

"Yes but I lied to them from the start with my alias, then to go I'm really a ghoul and welcome to the world of vampires..." with a look at him "It just seems so fake and I've already lied once...." as she looked out the window, to hide the tears she was holding back but the crack in her voice spoke volumes.

He reached over to take her hand.

"Believe me, Rachel. If they care about you, the hurt from that will fade. Fairly quickly, I would wager."

"You think so?" looking at him hopefully, playing with her phone but then putting it back down.

Admin Posts : 20841 Join date : 2010-03-19

He nodded.

"Yes, Rachel. I really do think so."

She sent a text on her phone, then took his hand and waited it was the first time in a very long time.

<TEXT to Sean - Can we talk?>

Admin Posts : 20841 Join date : 2010-03-19

It took a while for Sean to answer. At least ten minutes, while Salif held her hand.

<Text: Sure. Where?>

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

She looked at Salif "Think it's safe for me to go to my apartment?" chewing her lip like a little girl, scared and a bit broken at the moment.

Admin Posts : 20841 Join date : 2010-03-19

Salif smiled at her.

"I'll go with you. That way, there's no question."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"Thank you." with a slight relaxation and then text back.

<My apartment?>

Admin Posts : 20841 Join date : 2010-03-19

He smiled at her. "It's no problem."

Meanwhile, Sean's text took a few more minutes.

<Sure. I'm off tonight. When?>

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

She looked to see where they were and then texted <about 15 minutes away with BF. Can you meet there?>

Admin Posts : 20841 Join date : 2010-03-19

Sean's text came back after about ten minutes.

<....You're texting me to come and talk to you while you're with your boyfriend? Seriously?>

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

She sighed <meant best friend.>

Admin Posts : 20841 Join date : 2010-03-19

<Oh. That's different, then. Okay, I'll meet you there.>

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

<It is a he but you'll understand when you meet him> with a smile hoping he'd not back out.

Admin Posts : 20841 Join date : 2010-03-19

<....Interesting. Okay, I'll see you there in fifteen.>

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

She squeezed Salif's hand "Here goes nothing." with a lean against him as they drove the last few miles, hoping they'd have time to clear the place out if necessary.

Admin Posts : 20841 Join date : 2010-03-19

He wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"It's going to be fine, Rachel. It'll be good. Should I put on my best flamey impression for this?"

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"Yes it would help. I forget not everyone can tell..." with a soft laugh and nuzzle into him for some of his strength this was going to be hard.

Admin Posts : 20841 Join date : 2010-03-19

Salif laughed.

"All right. I'll be more obvious than obvious."

Methuselah Posts : 5333 Join date : 2012-02-02

"and no showing off how well we tango, because if you don't get Argentina style it looks very sexy." with a soft chuckle, cause Argentina style was the partners fighting but it looked intimate and fierce.
