CAN WE PRETEND THAT AIRPLANES IN THE
NIGHT SKY ARE LIKE SHOOTING STARS CAUSE I COULD REALLY USE A WISH RIGHT NOW

Oh, la-dee-da, somebody had some first hand knowledge about supernatural houses, did they? Okay, so he was definitely feeling a tad put off by what was quickly turning into a whole lot of crazy. Thank God that she was relatively cute with a sexy ass smile to boot, or he’d have high tailed it out of there so fast, he’d leave a dust cloud.
He’d have to go and beat the shit out of Leo for a good measure for this one. Ever since the fool had approached him with his newest ‘problem,’ nothing had been the same. At first, when his friend had initially come up to his motel room looking for advice, he’d been thrilled. Leo always had his bad weeks, when it came to the ladies…and hell, if he could offer condolences to both his childhood buddy AND the dissed lady friend…it wasn’t such a bad deal. But then, like a freaking freight train, all this ‘magic’ crap came pouring out of the guy’s mouth. If he were anything else, he’d have booted the crazy dude right out of his room…but this was LEO. Mr. Smooth Talking Leo, actually freaking out in the middle of his living space.
Talk about a wake up call. ESPECIALLY when the dude pointed his right index finger and made a lamp explode. After boosting his wallet to pay off the damage, Caleb had taken a few deep, calming breaths, resisted the urge to call him an alien and the two of them had talked things out.
Things that went bump in the night- the supernatural crap in horror movies- were real. Vampires, Werewolves, ghosts, witches…they were just make believe, or so he’d been informed. They actually existed.
And people questioned why he drank so much. Jesus, MARY and friggin Joseph…
He was only half listening to the girl babble on about her charms, his lower lid twitching a bit, when she started talking about vampires. And wait, vampire of her dreams? Crap, there went his getting lucky.
About two minutes before the ex-con decided that his playing the ‘protector’ to Miss Chatty over there was a bit under-planned, they arrived at her favorite bar…which was nothing like what Caleb was expecting to see. The girl was quirky, sure, but that happy-bubbly energy she exuded made him picture some kind of island themed place, or funny, college-student filled Goth place. Not a building that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. And given the fact that he’d been in much scarier places than the Adam’s Family’s bar, that was saying something.
”Woman, where in the hell are you takin’ me?” He couldn’t help but ask, looking up at the building with an incredulous look on his face. If collars were part of the dress code, he was out of there, man.
When she introduced herself, he cut her a look and raised a brow in amusement. Damn, that’s right; they hadn’t been formerly introduced. They got all close and cuddly in that confession booth, but hadn’t traded names...nope, his brain wasn’t going in THOSE nasty directions. With his Irish brogue a bit thicker in surprise at the sight of her favorite bar, he gave her a trademark roguish grin and replied, ”It’s my pleasure, Lucy. I’m Caleb. Caleb O’Shay.”
Then ‘Nikki’ showed his growly face and whatever impishness was on the man’s face instantly disappeared. The gruff sound brought the street thug back into play, and he traded a stony glare with the doorman. Crossing his arms over his chest, he played the ‘what she said’ game, and allowed himself to be dragged over the threshold.
Eyeing the various liquors and clientele wandering around, he couldn’t help but turn back to Lucy with another incredulous look on his face, after trading a glance with the bartender. ”’Fang?’ Really? Darlin’, this’ the last time I let you pick the bar. All I gotta say is if anyone starts askin’ me who my favorite True Blood character is, I’m gonna piss my pants.”
