Her Strange Secretary

Darren's Pov

I saw her. I didn't want to stop staring. For some unknown reason I just didn't want to stop staring at her. I watched the gentle sway of her hips as she walked towards me. I noticed that her cheeks were slightly flushed as she beamed at me.

I stared at the love of my life as she walked towards me. The woman who'd broken my curse and given me a reason to be a human.

Last night, Zoysia, my creator had revealed to me in my dream that I had just a few weeks to become human. My curse was finally broken and I had no reason to remain a vampire any longer. After more than five hundred years of waiting, Zoysia was finally going to make me human.

Thanks to my love, Ava, I was going to live and die as a human.

A human with a heart.

"Walk faster, Ava" I mouthed at her and she beamed her reply, still walking at a slow, provocative pace.

Ava and I had fixed a date for our wedding and we just finished shopping. I had carried almost all the shopping bags and dropped them in the trunk of my car, while I waited for her to join me.

"Why is sister taking so much time?" Ava's five year old sister, Gracie, who sat at the back seat of my car, asked.

"Wait a bit, darling" I said to her. "Your sister is teasing me"

I wore a deadpan expression as Ava made to cross the road.

She wasn't cat walking towards me anymore, She was trying to help a heavily pregnant lady to cross the road.
