Private Finished Vampires, vampires everywhere

“Yes, it’s probably best if I just talk with the school about it, or with your parents if they have the time.” Natasha conceded agreeably. No use worrying about her bloodline for now. Besides, she never even knew she had one til now. Although, she had to admit that it was exciting to able to know more about who she was now.

“So, the area has been divided up oddly…” Natasha thought as she listened intently to Leandro’s directions, feeling quite relieved that she hadn’t really got the address wrong, The area was just unusual, especially for those that didn’t know the island.

“Muffins?! A bakery?! That sounds divine.” Natasha exclaimed, loving the prospect of living near such a wonderful smelling place. “I love freshly baked bread too…” she added almost swooning at the thought.

“Oh, yes, my abilities and senses were definitely enhanced when I became a vampire. Almost too much at times.” she said as she looked over at Leandro, and noticed for the first time, that he had hardly looked at her even though he was very open and friendly. Maybe, he was just shy, she thought to herself.

"Thank you, Leandro." Natasha said touching his arm gently, "I am very grateful for all your doing for me. I know you've said your family likes to help vampires out and all," Natasha continued softly, "it's just been a quite while, decades if I'm truthful, since I've encountered such acceptance, and well, kindness."

"Serenades, baked goods daily and fresh coffee, what else can a person ever want?" Natasha remarked laughingly. "I'm sold on the place already and I haven't even seen it." she joked.

"I'd love to try something from the bakery. I admit, I love that part of being a vampire." Nat told Leandro, "I can now eat as many yummy pastries as I want and never gain weight. I must confess that as a woman, ex-mortal, that's like a huge bonus. I think more women might be lining up to be turned if they knew they could eat as much cake as they wanted and not get fat."

"I was empathic as a human," Natasha explained as she followed Leandro as he showed her the way to the apartment, "and now it's ten times stronger than before. At first, it was sheer torture to enter a crowded room." she said knowing exactly what he meant by needing to adjust. For her, that had been the worst part.

Natasha glanced at Leandro as they walked, she took in his profile, and watched as he spoke and carried himself. “It sounds like a utopia of sorts,” she remarked almost wistfully as he reassured her that she wouldn’t have to worry about things. She wanted to believe him so much, yet part of her was skeptical still. Everything sounded almost too perfect.

“Your hearing?” Natasha asked innocently as she looked at Leandro curiously, wondering what he meant. Maybe he had the ability to hear things at a distance, she thought as they walked together, stopping to let an elderly couple pass by them.

“Of course,” Natasha agreed happily when Leandro suggested getting something to eat now before the night crowd came out and bought up all the freshly baked deliciousness, “Let’s go in now, the apartment isn’t going anywhere, but the blueberries muffins that I just spotted on the counter over there could be if we aren’t fast enough.” she stated jokingly as they stepped into the fragrant little bakery that was filled with homemade baked goods. There were baskets of breads and buns, pies, cakes, racks of cookies and muffins, plates of brownies, scones, eclairs, cream puffs, and even a few mini strawberry shortcakes and fruit tarts with whipping cream. The place was literally pastry heaven. “So, what are you going to have?” Natasha asked Leandro, quickly adding, “My treat!”

Natasha could only nod thoughtfully at Leandro's wise words. Yes, there would always be people, who for whatever illogical reason, thought that they were better than others. And if it wasn't race, it was social class, or something else entirely.

"He was nervous because the little old lady that was with him was letting off highly annoyed vibes, like she was beyond exasperation and ready to explode. He was probably afraid she'd conk him on the head with a fry pan or strangle in his sleep.." Natasha said laughingly when Leandro told her about the old man. She had picked up on both people's vibes, but the little old lady was fuming mad and she basically overpowered the two's emotions causing Natasha to focus more on her than him. "He was probably gambling and lost." Natasha mused thinking about the raised heartbeat and jingling of coins in a pocket. In her experience, playing or fondling coins was usually an unconscious gesture of those that liked or wanted money.

"Are you sure?" Natasha said when Leandro told her that it was his treat and that he couldn't let her pay for his pastry. "I feel like you have done so much for me in such a short while." she confessed as she laid a hand on his arm, "Next time, it's my treat. We will go get ice cream or whatever you else you like." she said with resolve. Then as the shop assistant looked at her asking for her order, she said, "I'll have a blueberry muffin with extra butter, please."

@Saber

The girl behind the counter handed Natasha her muffin slathered in butter. Thanking her, Natasha went to stand by Leandro, there she followed his lead and took a bite of her excessively buttered blueberry muffin. It was heavenly... she hadn't had a muffin this good in years. Probably ever, if she actually thought about it.

"Definitely worth the wait." Natasha agreed as she licked butter off a finger, "This place is amazing. I can see why it's popular. Do you come here often?" she asked Leandro as she enjoyed her muffin.

When Leandro asked her if she want to go outside, Nat nodded vigorously. "Yes, let's ... it's starting to get overly crowded in here or I'll soon end up getting a headache or something worse." she said as the emotions of people started becoming more and more apparent.

"It has been a nice evening." Natasha said in complete agreement with him. "Gosh, I don't know about that, I'd say we just clicked... but thank you anyways." Natasha said, actually blushing when Leandro told her he had to thank her for the nice time they were having.
