I had to register for classes for school that would be starting in a month. And Dr. Allison gave me some books to start reading. Thankfully a few of the books were books I had read before out of pure interest. When work was over Friday night, I went home and the phone rang as soon as I got into the door. It was Justin. "Hi, Justin. How was your day?" "It was busy. How about yours?" "The same." "Tonight, all your worries are going to be forgotten for a while. You've been so good to me that I'm going to abduct you from your worries and cares and give you a night off." "Sounds nice. What should I wear? A suit?" "No way! Dress like you are going out on the town! I'll be there to pick you up at 7:00." That was an hour and a half away. "Sounds good. See you then." I hung up and showered and shaved. Then I put on my gray slacks and a black polo shirt with gray and green stitched lines. It doesn't sound very attractive but trust me; it's very nice looking on me. Then I brushed my teeth. As I was going through the last of my mail, a knock came at my door. I went over and opened the door to see Justin looking very, very, VERY nice! He had on black slacks and this baby blue dress shirt. The shirt was buttoned halfway up revealing a black shirt underneath. "Are you ready?" "Yeah." The nervousness I was feeling was rather obvious because he asked if anything was wrong. "I'm nervous." "Nervous? Why?" "We've never gone out in public on a date before. I just realized that. It's going to be interesting. Maybe I'll see someone I know and can show you off." "If anyone is going to be proud of their date, it's me. I'm going to enjoy showing you off." Justin leaned in and kissed me. Then I grabbed my keys, locked the door and together we went down to the...limousine? I couldn't believe my eyes! We were going for a night on the town in a limousine! "It's so we can spend as much time in each other's arms," Justin said. "Neither of us will have to worry about driving." He opened the door for me and helped me in. Then, as the limousine rolled away Justin opened a bottle of champagne that was sitting in a bucket of ice. He poured two glasses of champagne and we interlocked arms to take our first drink. "I hope this night is the most memorable one you've ever had." "I'm sure it will be." It didn't take long for the limo to get to the restaurant where we were to dine. Justin helped me out of the car and we went inside arm-in-arm. The Maitre d eyed us conspicuous. But Justin walked up and said, "Timberlake. Table for two." The Maitre d looked on his list and found the reservation. "Yes, follow me." We followed him through the restaurant. It was a very nice place. Many Hollywood stars were enjoying an evening with their significant other. I was rather surprised to see so many who were gay! Ricky Martin was present with some young brown-haired man. Leonardo DiCaprio was with Ryan Phillipe. And I saw David and Michael enjoying an evening together. I guess there were more Hollywood actors and actresses who were gay than any ever knew. It's not surprising. Only a gay person could play so many varieties of characters as these men and women have and still fool the public into thinking they were straight. I had enough experience in hiding my homosexuality from my family. Our table sat in a small alcove where we had a little bit of privacy. Justin held out my chair and I sat. Then he sat. The Maitre d handed Justin and I menus. A waiter came up to us and Justin ordered a bottle of white wine. When the waiter left, I said, "Are you trying to get me drunk so you can seduce me?" Justin smiled. "Would that be so wrong?" "I was going to say you don't have to get me drunk to seduce me." We both laughed as the waiter returned with the wine and two glasses then left. "Let's see what they have to eat." I looked through the menu and decided on something light. I ordered the eggplant and Justin ordered the chicken. Then we were left alone. "It's good to be here with you," I said. "Out here in the real world." "It's nice to get out for a while. I'm glad I have someone worthwhile to spend it with. You know, my life has always been so public since the group started. And with all the people who recognize us going down the street, my life has been empty. Sure my parents are wonderful. But I don't get to see them all that much. I have to go where my work takes me. I'm glad it took me here. Other wise I would never have met you." Justin reached over the table and lightly touched my hand. I responded by opening my hand and taking his in mine. I raised it up to my lips and lightly kissed it. I was almost moved to tears. Was this real? Could I be in love with someone who actually loves me in return? Is this a dream? Will I wake up in the morning and find this was fake? If it was a dream, I hope I never wake from it. "This is so unreal to me," I said deciding on revealing my thoughts. "I've always thought I would be alone. Don't take this as a sad pity party statement. It's not. I've never been really outgoing. I've kept to myself. Because of that I've never had the pleasure, or courage for that matter, to meet new people. I would always stutter and stammer when I met someone new. And for the life of me, I can't figure out how I was blessed enough to meet you and you fall in love with me. Like the song on "The Sound of Music" says 'somewhere in my youth or childhood I must have done something good. For here you are sitting there loving me. Whether or not you should..." "I should, Eric. I should." We sat there just holding hands staring into each other's eyes and smiling when the food came out. We released our handhold and let them place the food in front of us. "Thank you," I said to the waiter. We ate the delicious food and even shared with each other. It was rather cute to see me feed Justin from my fork. About a half hour later, we finished our dinner and were sipping white wine when the waiter came out to take our plates. "Shall I bring you a dessert menu?" Justin eyed me. "Do you want anything?" "Oh, no. I couldn't eat another bite. That was delicious." "Very well." The waiter cleared our table of the dirty plates and silverware leaving behind the nearly empty bottle of wine and our glasses. "So, Mr. Timberlake. What are we going to do next?" "Well, Mr. McCoy, we are going to finish up here and go to a nice little place and dance." "Not a nightclub." "Oh, no, not a nightclub. It's a very classy place. Slow dancing mostly. And I happen to know for a fact that you slow dance well. Lance told me all about the night you and he danced. I've been anxious to get you on the dance floor." "What are we waiting for?" We finished off the wine and left the place, Justin paying on our way out. On the way we sat in the back and kissed, just enjoying each other's arms. The limo pulled up to the dance hall and we got out. Inside we were taken to a table and got to order something to drink. I ordered an ice water. The song "Tonight I Need Your Sweet Caress" began playing. "Shall we dance?" Justin said to me. "Of course." He took my hand and led me to the dance floor. He placed his left arm around my waist and my left hand in his. I put my right arm around his neck and we began to move with the rhythm. As I watch you move Across the moonlit room, There's so much tenderness in your loving. Tomorrow I must leave. The dawn knows no reprieve. God give me strength when I am needing. So raise your hands to Heaven and pray That we'll be back together some day. Tonight I need your sweet caress Hold me in the darkness. Tonight you calm my restlessness You relieve my sadness. As we move to memories Tears run down your face. I whisper words of love so softly I can't believe this pain It's driving me insane Without your touch life will be lonely. So raise your hands to Heaven and pray That we'll be back together some day Tonight I need your sweet caress Hold me in the darkness. Tonight you calm my restlessness You relieve my sadness. Tonight I need your sweet caress Hold me in the darkness. Tonight you calm my restlessness You relieve my sadness. Morning has come, another day I must pack my bags and say "Good bye. Goodbye" Tonight I need your sweet caress Hold me in the darkness. Tonight you calm my restlessness You relieve my sadness. Tonight I need your sweet caress Hold me in the darkness. Tonight you calm my restlessness You relieve my sadness. The words are kind of melancholy but the beat is great dancing music. I moved my arms around Justin's neck as both his hands moved to my waist. We leaned into each other and kissed and I became lost in the moment, so much so I didn't notice the music stop. Then someone screamed. We broke off the kiss and looked to where the scream came from. Standing in the doorway was someone I did not want to see tonight. "Turic!" Justin said. "Hello, love. I've come for you." "I don't want to be with you, Turic. You lied to me. I'm with Eric. Leave me alone." "You're with...him?" Turic said with a smirk. "He's so puny. Do you actually think he's more than a man than I am? Come on. Be honest. He's not as big as me. He doesn't make you scream out in pleasure during lovemaking." "You son of a bitch!" Justin said punching him. Turic's head rolled with the punch, but he looked unharmed. He swung his hand out and backhanded Justin knocking him to the floor. I became enraged and punched him. His head jerked back with the force of my punch. "Don't you ever lay a hand on him again! Do you understand me?" Turic laughed. Then he grabbed me by the throat and picked me up off the ground. "You puny mortals. You cannot hope to grasp the power I have. And you will never know what I can do." Turic tossed me into a table. Then he held up his hand and a fireball appeared. He threw it at me. I rolled just as it hit the table setting it aflame. The fire quickly spread and the people panicked running in every direction. Through the flame I saw Turic pick Justin up and carry him away. I tried to reach him but the throng of people kept me from him, but I persisted. When I got outside, fire engine sirens were heard in the distance. And Turic and Justin were nowhere to be found. My anger and fears seemed to mount. I ran as fast as I could looking all over for him. But he was nowhere to be found. I returned to the fire and made a report with one of the police officers. I knew they wouldn't be able to catch Turic. What cop knows how to deal with a vampire? If they know anything about them, how many have they faced? Few to none. The limo driver took me back to the hotel and I went up to the guys' floor. I dreaded giving them the news but I knew I had to. When the elevator door opened, I found it strangely quiet. Immediately I went to the living room and found it in shambles and the guys lying unconscious on the floor. "My God! No!" I ran to Lance and checked his pulse. He was breathing, just unconscious. Slowly he stirred. "Lance! Lance! Are you alright?" Lance opened his eyes and looked at me. "Eric! I'm so glad you're okay!" He reached up and hugged me tight. "I'm okay. I'm fine. What happened?" "Turic showed up looking for Justin. We refused to tell him where Justin went. So he did this!" Slowly the other guys awoke. They were unharmed save for some bruises. "We wouldn't tell him a thing," JC stated. "We would never give up Justin." "Speaking of Justin, where is he?" Joey asked. Tears filled my eyes. "Turic got him. He must have found out where we went. I tried to stop him but he set the place on fire to create a diversion." "Where did he take Justin?" JC wondered. "We've got to call the cops," Chris said. "What can they do?" Lance asked. "They don't have demon training in their academy. Who is going to help us?" "I know someone who can. Can I use your phone?" I asked. To Be Continued...
