There’s Only One Tonight

Cat was forcing him to stay. Not really, but he wanted it to seem that way. The room was bathed in light and smelled like her, vanilla. He had felt so alone and in the dark for the longest time that her apartment made him nervous. He wasn’t used to the love that he could feel radiating from every nook and cranny that seemed to seep from the walls. They whispered forgotten stories, faintly, of their heated stares and sly kisses that he was sure they shared all throughout her home. Home, he wanted one. More importantly, he wanted one with her. Vincent was sure he didn’t want to be anywhere else than with her. While she left to get her first aid kit he gazed around the room that had wooden frames filled with smiling faces of her sister and father. He frowned when he didn’t see a mother in sight. He continued to surveillance his surroundings, once a soldier always a soldier, and he wondered if they watched movies and did the chores together. Normal stuff, the stuff he hoped he would remember soon.

Vincent’s mind didn’t remember their time together but his heart did. He could feel it every time she entered a room. His eyes would immediately settle on her and he could feel his blood flow a little hotter and a little faster throughout his system. He could feel how in tune he was with her. How he often found himself unconsciously searching for her heartbeat and checking her breathing, to ensure that she was safe. He found himself doing this now when she came back to clean the cut on his face. They were so close together, he could feel her breath heat his face and in return his hair stood up on end. So when he leaned in to kiss her, his mind exploded. And for a moment, just a short moment in time, he forgot he was a beast. He lost all senses, he couldn’t read her heartbeat and he couldn’t hear her breathing from down the hall. He could only feel her skin molded to his and the short pants she released when the kiss turned deeper, filled with passion. He pulled back only to return again, never wanting this feeling to stop. The feeling of Cat and the feeling of being human. Her cell phone rang and she jumped, he was the beast again. He could smell that it had startled her. He cursed. Vincent’s mind cleared, he didn’t really remember but he knew that they were stained. Their lives, their relationship, and even their loved ones. But he knew he would do whatever it took to clean up the mess, not just for Cat, but for them.
