Family Reunion
James March x his Vampire!Wife
(Her vampirism doesn’t really matter thou)The day was today. Oh, how long has he waited for this moment to come. Technically, it’s been month or so, but if felt like the whole eternity.
Ms. Evers couldn’t bare to see James so out of place. He was trying to hide his feelings, sure, but nothing could be hidden from Ms. Evers; she knew him to well not to notice his sufferings.
“Don’t you worry no more, Mr. March,” she said, taking off the sheets from the bed, “just a few hours left for you to wait, it’s nothing.”
“I’m not worried,” said James, nervously fixing his hair in the mirror, “would you prepare everything for tonight?”
“Of course, Mr. March. Exactly how you ordered.”
“Marvelous.”
Most of the hotel’s lodgers gathered at the bar, in temptation of the upcoming moment.
“It should be any minute now,” said Iris, smiling agitatedly.
“Oh, it’s been forever!” Agreed Liz.
“You think she’ll bring us gifts?” Asked Sally, lightning a cigarette.
“She’s been on a business trip, not vacation,” argued Iris.
“A very important business trip too,” James appeared in the main hall and made his way to the bar. “It is for the wealth of our hotel and ourselves.”
“Mr. March! You look fantastic,” exclaimed Ms. Evers.
“Thank you, Ms. Evers,” he bowed his head a little. He first wanted to stay here and drink some Armagnac to calm his nerves, but the temptation and excitement he had wouldn’t let him sit still. He fixed his jacket and turned on his heels.
“I shall go and check if everything is in order,” he said as he excused himself.
“This is the fourth time,” sighed Ms. Evers.
“Fifth,” Liz corrected her, “but you can’t blame the man. He is agitated. We all are.”
But just as James was about to walk up the stairs, he heard a sweet, tender voice; voice that made him freeze and let a shaky breath, voice that he craved so badly past these thirty days.
“Darling.”
He closed his eyes as a familiar scent touched his nose.
There she stood: smiling, looking perfect as always. Black lace of her dress caressing her skin, jewelry shining on her chest, eyes bright with happiness.
“You wouldn’t leave without greeting your wife, would you?” She places her bag on the floor and made a step forward, smiling widely.
“My dearest,” James turned towards her. He took one second to examine her features before erasing the distance between them and luring her into a tight embrace. She let a small chuckle and wrapped her hands around him, burring her face in his neck.
“I missed you so bad, love,” she whispered, showering his neck and cheek with kisses.
“My precious,” James took her face in his hands, “this place is nothing without you. So as I.”
“Oh, Jim,” she brought her face to his, almost touching his lips with hers, “I’m sorry it took me so long. Those lousy businessmen wouldn’t let me seal the deal. But, “she pecked his lips, “it turned out great. We are doing swell.”
She then pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss, full of desire and longing.
“Mrs. March, we are so glad to have you back!” Said Ms. Evers.
“I am glad to be back. And even gladder to see all your lovely faces.”
She hugged every one of them, kissing cheeks with Liz in the end.
“Dinner tonight!” She exclaimed, holding James by the hand, “we are celebrating the joyful reunion of our lovely family.”
