but she was just happy to finally go somewhere far away from that house.
Finally, what seemed like hours later, she could see a house in the middle of the water. She pulled up to it and was met by some very unfriendly gators. They had yellow, beady eyes and snapped at her. She was just about to take off when a man came out of the little shack house. He threw the gators some food, rotten chicken by the smell of it.
Mindy watched, scared and not sure if she should try to leave in the boat or stay with the beautiful stranger.
He held his hand out, and she shyly took it. He was so strong. He pulled her right into his arms and carried her into the small house. She looked into his eyes, so beautiful; a hazel color with golden flexes. She thought he was definitely the kind of man women dreamt about, but never got to have, and here she was being carried by him.
“I am Blake,” he finally said.
She felt faint. She felt like the women on a romance novel cover, with the handsome half naked man. She closed her eyes and felt herself give in to the darkness of sleep.

Despite the murder, Natasha still had to work the next night. She rushed over to her next table in the vampire section. The murder seemed to have brought in even more customers. Tanek was even helping out since they were still short staffed. As soon as she walked into the vampire section, she was surprised to see Nora having drinks with other vampires.
“Oh my word, is that you, Natasha?” Nora yelped in that all too familiar southern accent.
“Yes it is. I work here. What can I get you ladies to drink?”
“We would like a bottle of your best champagne with some shots of blood, please.”
“What blood type?”
“Oh, how about AB Positive; it’s always been my fav.”
The other women, who were mostly silent, nodded their heads in agreement. “Anything else?”
“Do you have a vampire VIP section? We may want some fresh company,” Nora asked.
“Yes. Let me go get a table ready. I will have someone come back and escort you.”
All three vampires smiled with full fangs. It creeped Natasha out how brazen they were, even if it was the vampire section.
Natasha saw Tanek running around and stopped him. “Hey, I need a VIP table for some vamps and a blood donor.”
“Any open table room is fine, and get whatever human you think they will like. There is a $1000 charge to hold the table. You will wait on them for the rest of the night. Good job, Natasha. Keep up the excellent work.”
Natasha could not help but smile at the praise. She never got those kinds of compliments, and she really liked it. Natasha ran off to where the blood donors hung out. She spotted a hunky young guy she knew would be perfect. His name tag said Jacek. “Hey Jacek! I have a job for you.”
Jacek smiled and ran over to Natasha. “Is this for yourself or another customer?”
“I have a VIP group that would like company.” His smile got bigger, and he followed her back to the table where Nora and her group still sat.
“Hey ladies, this is Jacek, and he will be accompanying you at your table. If you would follow me.”
Nora and the other two vampires followed Natasha to a private, curtained off room with wall to wall seating, in black leather. They sat, and Jacek followed them. He was a good looking man, and dressed very professional in a suit and tie. He had a clean cut, boy next door look with an edge of bad boy. She always wondered what would lead a human to be a donor. Was it the money, or something else?
Natasha left the room and made her way through the packed crowd. She pushed her way through until she came to the bar and placed her drink order.
“Crazy tonight? I can barely breathe with so many people in here,” Maureen commented.
“I gotta go get my other tables. I’ll be back for the order in a few.”
