Following Night
                Adam and Dani lay together wrapped in each other’s arms soundly sleeping after nightfall. However Dani’s eyes opened and flashed as she raised her head. Adam was still asleep and she carefully untangled herself from his arms, reaching down she picked up her nightgown from the floor and slipped it on. Going out into the hallway she closed the door silently so as not to disturb Adam.
                Something didn’t seem right, she had a strange feeling inside she didn’t understand. She shook it off and went into the kitchen to get breakfast ready. A small smile appeared as she remembered the time she and Adam had shared. She’d never had so much fun with a guy as she had with him.
                A scratching noise came from the front door and Dani smiled, “I know, you’re hungry. Hold on.” She turned the water off and dried her hands before going to the front door. Dani unlocked the door and stood behind it letting the small cat in before closing the door and locking it again. “Have a good day?” Raven meowed and hugged Dani’s legs as they walked into the kitchen, she fed her and petted her a few more times. “You know, you’re going to have to be a good girl. I have never heard of an all night vet’s office. So I kinda doubt spaying and shots are in your cards. Lucky for you, right?”
                Dani went back to preparing breakfast. When she started to pour the bags of blood into glasses she stopped feeling a twinge in her head. She paused a minute closing her eyes shaking it off. She started to go back to her task when an unbearable pain made it feel like someone cracked her skull open and poured boiling acid and razors into it. She held her hand to her head but it only seemed to get worse. She screamed falling down, the glass of blood shattering on the kitchen floor around her.
Problems
                Dani woke suddenly finding herself on her couch. Adam was sitting beside her, holding a towel under her hand as he pulled shards of glass from her palm. “Ouch.” She said covering her face with her other hand.
`               “What happened?” He said pulling the last piece then wrapped it tight with the towel.
                “Nothing important, it’s gone now.” She said feeling more embarrassed then anything. She sat up feeling a little woozy, pulling her hand from him. She almost felt like she was going to throw up.
                Adam reached over picking up the glass of blood that hadn’t broken, but she shook her head. “Your hand isn’t healing. You need to feed.” He said handing it to her but she looked like she was going to be sick and pushed it away.
                “Oh don’t do that again unless you want to see me boot all over the apartment.” She said closing her eyes and covering her face.
                Adam furrowed his brow, “What happened, Dani? Tell me.” He demanded.
                “It’s just a migraine, okay? I used to get them in high school. It’s better now.” She said.
                “That’s impossible. You can’t get a migraine.” Adam said.
                “Oh really? Cause it sure felt like a head shattering, soul crushing, glass breaking migraine.” She said giving him a look.
                “You’re biology is different now, Dani. You are a vampire. It isn’t possible for you to have a headache. I have never heard of any vampire having a migraine. Ever.” He said seriously.
                “Well aren’t I just the special one.” She said with a sigh.
                “Dani, this is serious. Migraine’s are a human problem.” He said genuinely concerned. The only time he’d ever heard of a vampire having a headache is when they had contracted blood poisoning. But she and Adam ate from the same supply. If that were the case, he would be sick too. Not to mention Dani tested everything. She already pulled from a safe and clean supply and never left anything to chance. “You said you had them before, when did they stop?”
                “Puberty.” She said simply. He arched a brow, “I know, it’s probably not that.” She said rolling her eyes. Dani looked up seeing the dark expression of worry on his face. “Look, if you think this is a problem, I’ll take some tests when I go in for work tomorrow. The MRI technician is a close friend of mine.”
                Adam rubbed his eyes with a frustrated sigh, “Dani, how many times am I going to have to repeat this before it sinks in?” He asked looking at her, “You aren’t human anymore. Any human test you take . . . . is not going to have human readings. I imagine they’ll be curious as to why that is.”
                “Okay. Then we just treat it as the bummer it is and move on. Stop worrying about it.” She said with a sigh. Adam handed the glass of blood to her again, and she just gave him a look. “Fine.” She said taking the glass and knocked it back as quickly as she could. She waited a moment as if negotiating with her own body not to violently kick it back. Dani took a breath as it seemed she won the argument and Adam put the glass aside taking her wounded hand and unwrapping it. The wounds knit back together and healed as they should have done in the first place.
                “Better?” He asked.
                “Usually.” She said with a sigh, “Where’s Raven? Is she alright?” Dani said looking around. Adam motioned towards her feet where the black cat was close watching them with concern. She smiled a little bit reaching down and petting her as Dani pulled her legs up under her. She looked at Adam seeing the look that still crossed his face. “Everything is fine Adam. I swear. Look. I’m all better. Okay?”
                It was clear he didn’t agree, not knowing what caused this or what it meant.
Test Battery
                “Maybe these headaches have something to do with your diet.” Her friend Jeremy said sitting with her. “What sort of things do you eat?”
                “Uh . . . protein. A lot of protein. With Vitamins.” She said trying to be honest, “Trust me, it’s not my diet. I don’t know what caused it, I haven’t had a migraine in years and I don’t remember ever having one that bad.” She explained.
                “Have you had a head injury or anything that might have caused it?” He asked.
                “No, nothing.” Dani said with a sigh.
                “Well, look lets run you through the MRI machine and see if there is anything wrong.” He suggested.
                “Uh . . . I can’t Jeremy. The readings look really, really weird. I don’t want to freak you out.” She said softly.
                “How do you know the readings look weird?” He questioned.
                She sighed, “The photosensitivity. Sun allergy issue. They did a ton of tests and the readings weren’t even remotely normal.”
                “Okay, so we go into this already knowing that and move on from there to see what we can find.” Dani looked away not certain and Jeremy could see she was nervous. “Hey, I won’t report you to anyone, no matter what we find if you don’t want me too. I swear.” He reassured her. “We’ve known each other since we were kids. Always had each other’s backs. Not gonna suddenly turn on you and betray you now.”
                She smiled looking at him before hugging him; “I do need help . . .” She pulled back looking up at him, “I really think there isn’t another person who can help me.
Zombies
                Jeremy sat in Dani’s apartment drinking a coke as she stood pacing back and forth. “Do you think he’s going to be angry?” He asked.
                “He’s not very fond of humans . . . or as he calls you ‘zombies’.” She said. “Not exactly sure how he’s going to react to you, or any of this.” She walked over and sat down next to him, “He’s probably going to freak out that I told you.”
                “What choice did you have? You couldn’t run the test on yourself and you’re right. Your readings are really weird.” Jeremy replied, “We’re friends. I’m not going to rat you out. God, I don’t want anything to happen to you.” He said seeing how nervous she was. “Besides. The vampire thing . . . is kinda hot.”
                Dani couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “Shut the fuck up.” She said playfully. They had been like brother and sister growing up. He grinned always having been able to make her laugh when she was at her lowest.
                Just then the locks on the door began to unlock and open, and Dani stood. Adam had told her not to run any tests at the hospital and she did it anyway. When the door opened and Adam came in he paused seeing the man sitting on Dani’s couch. There was a dead and eerie silence for what seemed like an eternity before she quickly moved to the door closing it and locking it behind Adam.
                “Adam, I wanted you to meet someone . . .” Dani began nervously.
                “Jeremy. From your birthday party.” He said never taking his eyes off the young man. Jeremy thought that interesting as Adam hadn’t stayed long enough to be introduced to everyone.
                “Wow, your guy’s hearing must really be good.” He said looking at Dani.
                Dani’s eyes went wide as she shot Jeremy a look of disbelief, “Dude!” She said wanting to have told Adam a better way that she had told them what they were. “Adam, you know who Jeremy is. We grew up together and went to school and everything. We’ve known each other since we could walk.”
                “And you think that excuses this do you?” Adam said sternly.
                “Adam . . . you were concerned, and Jeremy was concerned too, and he just wanted to help me. He didn’t freak out, and is ridiculously understanding. Even more then I was. He just wants to help.” She said sincerely.
                “Friend or not he is a zombie, they cannot be trusted.” He said rather unhappy about this mess. Dani sighed and looked away, “What is he doing here?”
                Dani was quiet for a moment, “Because we need a baseline.”
                “A what?”
                “Her readings are completely different from human readings.” Jeremy stepped in, “I can’t see if anything is wrong in the tests unless we have a healthy baseline from . . . . well, you.” Adam just starred at Jeremy darkly. “Look,” Jeremy said when Dani started to speak again stopping her, “I don’t know anything about Vampires apart from Bram Stoker, Anne Rice, and Joss Whedon. To be honest, I never really cared. But I do care about Dani. Out of the two of us, she has always been the tough one. I barfed in 6^th grade biology, she was making the frogs talk and dance.” He paused, “”Now she hasn’t told me the whole story, I know she hasn’t, and I wouldn’t ask her to. I imagine the volumes she has kept from me is out of loyalty and or a promise she’s made to you. There is a lot I would like to know. Like how the fuck this happened to her.” Jeremy shook his head as that seemed what crossed him the most, “The irony of a phlebotomist being a vampire isn’t lost on me, but I have to say. Adam. I don’t care about you, or your lifestyle, or what you do in any capacity. I do care about Dani and I want to help her.”
                “Really.” Adam said starring Jeremy down. “And just how much is your silence going to cost? How much is it going to take to satisfy zombie’s greedy nature so he doesn’t look elsewhere for profit? Hmmm?”
                Jeremy smirked, “Obviously you don’t remember what it’s like to have family who cares about you. Otherwise you’d know that Dani and her safety are my only concern.” He sighed, “And now by extension . . . you. No matter of much of a prick you are.”
                “You are not her family.” Adam said forcefully.
                “Why? Because we’re a different species now? Why are you acting like such an ass? Between the two of us, there is access to resources that your kind have never had access to before. At least as far as I know.” He said raising his voice.
                Dani was starting to feel that twinge in her head that she had felt the other night, “Uh . . . guys . . .”
                The two men were standing toe to toe and didn’t hear her, “Dani and I have known each other our whole lives, and she trusts me. Why can’t you?”
                “Dani is a child and doesn’t know any better, she’s lived as a vampire precariously for nearly a year and a half. She still hasn’t accepted who or what she is, and people like you keep her clinging to an old life that is no longer relevant. It puts her in constant danger and puts foolish ideas into her head that are going to result in her death!” Adam said seriously.
                Dani covered her eyes with a shaking hand as the pain grew worse by the second. She took a breath leaning against the back of the couch. Neither Adam nor Jeremy noticed her growing distress and continued to argue. Finally the pain was so blindingly unbearable, Dani screamed in agony before collapsing to the floor.
                Both men were immediately pulled from their squabbling seeing her fall and rushed over kneeling down beside her. “Dani, Dani can you hear me darling?” Adam said seeing the sickly grey color to her skin like it had been the other night when this had happened.
                Jeremy opened each of her eyes seeing how they had become pinpointed, “This isn’t just a migraine. Her pupils would be dilated.”
                “Has she fed?” Adam asked. Jeremy looked at him not understanding, “Since she woke up tonight, has she fucking fed!”
                “I don’t know, she was awake when I got here at dusk. Maybe she did before I arrived?” Chances were unlikely, when she got nervous or upset she tended to forget and she certainly wouldn’t feed in front of her friend. She was no doubt very self conscious about it.
                Adam reached into her pocket taking out her keys that held the one to the fridge. “Take her in her room. The first door in the hallway.” He said before standing and going to the kitchen.
                “Yes sir.” Jeremy snapped under his breath before picking Dani up carefully from the floor and taking her into her room laying her down on her bed. He went back out into the living room and grabbed his bag returning to Dani and quickly took out some medical equipment attaching it to her to take some readings. He sighed a little, “Jesus kid. A year and a half and you never said a word about any of this.”
                A few minutes later Adam came in seeing Jeremy writing down something in his notebook and the various devices attached to Dani. “What the hell are you doing to her?” He demanded.
                “I’m taking readings during an episode to compare to when she’s not having one.” He looked over seeing the glass of red crimson he was carrying. “I’m trying to help her. What are you doing?”
                “Actually helping her.” Adam snapped seeing the blood down on the bedside table getting up on the bed next to her and lifting her into a sitting position in his arms. Picking up the glass he held it to her lips. She was just barely conscious, the pain in her head keeping her well out of her wits. “Come on darling, drink.” He said gently. She groaned slightly lifting her head as she did as he said and drank. Adam made certain that she took every last drop before putting the glass aside. “Sleep now. Rest Dani.” He said softly kissing her head as she seemed to fall asleep. Adam carefully laid her down again resting her head to the pillows and she seemed to be resting much easier. Seeing the change, Jeremy began taking another set of readings to note the differences. Adam watched him in silence as he worked. “You just carry all of that shit around with you?”
                “It wasn’t supposed to be for her, we brought this stuff here for you. Dani didn’t think you’d agree to come in for testing even though what would be really usefully would be an MRI and a CAT scan. But we were going to take what we could get.” “Jeremy admitted.
                Adam looked at Dani a few moments, “What have you found so far, if anything.”
                “Umm. She’s dead.” Jeremy said seriously. “Her average body temperature hovers in the 30’s. I have no idea if that’s good or bad. She doesn’t seem to have a pulse but her blood still tends to flow normally. That’s from the tests she’s run on herself.” Jeremy held up an electronic thermometer. “May I?”
                Adam gave him a look and then a slight nod. Jeremy reached up and swiped it across his forehead in one quick swift move as a light shined on Adam’s skin for less than a second. It was strange, that’s not how Adam remembered thermometers working.
                “Well apparently she has a fever that she didn’t have 10 minutes ago.” Jeremy said furrowing his brow.
                “15 degrees higher than mine?” Adam said. Jeremy arched a brow giving a nod. “Because I heated her breakfast far beyond what we usually drink it at. The hotter it is, the stronger the calming affect it has on us.” Jeremy wasn’t going to argue, he knew that all of this was going to be new and weird. Adam studied Jeremy as he continued to work. “You wanted her as your own didn’t you. That’s why you are so irritated.”
                “I’m irritated because I’m trying to help her, and you’re being a dick.” Jeremy answered bluntly.
                “You’re saying in the years you have known her, you have never lusted after her? Imagined what it would be like to take her?” Adam was pushing on purpose, partly because he wanted to know why Jeremy was so adamant to help, and partly because Adam tended to find himself a bit jealous where Dani was concerned. Which was something he couldn’t explain or fully understand.
                “Man, . . . . that is so disgusting.” Jeremy said properly grossed out.
                Adam furrowed his brow seeing his genuine reaction, “You think making love to this beautiful young creature is ‘disgusting’?” He said in disbelief.
                “I’m sure it’s great, and I’ve always thought she was beautiful.” Jeremy said. “Do you get the concept of ‘brother and sister’ at all? We might not have had the same parents, but that’s the relationship we have and sleeping together would be like . . . incest. And that’s just . . . . ugh.”
                “Fair enough.” Apparently there was no danger there. Adam looked at Dani whose color was improving now back to normal. Sometimes he still had to get on her about feeding properly.
                The doorbell rang and Adam started to go get it, but Jeremy stopped him reaching for his wallet, “That’s for me. I hadn’t had dinner so Dani ordered a pizza.” He stood and left the room to get the front door. Adam rolled his eyes settling down next to Dani leaning against the headboard pulling her close to him and stroking her hair. Why did she continually do such foolish things? She was the first zombie in centuries he had told about his being a vampire and even then he felt cautious about it. Now, just a year and half into her undead life, she tells their secret to this . . . boy. She really trusted him so much? Perhaps her judgment with Jeremy was better than it was with William if they had known each other their whole lives. If not . . . it would be regrettable for her best friend to become a missing person.
                A few minutes later, Jeremy came in with his pizza and set it down on the floor eating a piece. “You want any?” Jeremy said offering him some. Adam gave him a look and Jeremy took the hint going back to eating his dinner.
                Adam’s eyes remained on Dani for several quiet moments before deciding to speak. “Dani has confided in you her most precious secret, the one that is key to her survival, her very life.” He looked at Jeremy with a deadly serious expression. “If you betray that trust, I give you my word that no one will ever know what happened to you. Not even Dani. This is not a game, it’s not a joke, and it isn’t to be taken lightly. It is her very existence. You don’t understand things, the way they are in our world. Dani belongs to me, she is mine and I will protect her.”
                Jeremy listened to everything he said giving a nod. “You’re right. I don’t know anything about your world. I know she adores you and talks of you with the respect and adoration one would show to a saint. But I know enough that if you ever hurt or mistreat her, I’ll put you head first into a wood chipper. Don’t imagine that’s a traditional way to deal with a vampire, but I reckon it’ll get the job done just the same.” Adam smirked hearing the threat. It seemed they understood each other. He studied the sleeping young woman a moment longer.
                “How long would these ‘scans’ of yours take. Who would have access to them?” Adam asked.
                “They wouldn’t take long. Maybe an hour and a half in all. I could do it off system, so they only ones who would have access to the results would be us. I’d wipe the system and run diagnostics just to be certain there wasn’t anything to stumble across later.” He looked at Adam, “She and I have thought this all out and planned it well. She’s extremely careful and a bit paranoid.”
                Adam looked at Dani, he didn’t want anything to happen to her. The pain she experienced with these attacks horrified him, and he could almost feel the agony she was in. “Ask your questions. Run your tests.” Adam said simply. “Find some way to stop this. If you truly care for her as you swear to.” Jeremy gave a nod, he knew Dani would be pleased never having expected Adam to consent. “One more thing you should bear in mind.” Adam said calling Jeremy’s attention back to him. “She cannot turn you. She is far too young. If she were to try, it would only result in your very unpleasant death.”
Diagnostics
                “Honestly Eve, I am genuinely impressed. The two of them make quite the team. It truly is a tragedy that Dani won’t be able to pursue her career, but her friend has quite the future ahead of him I imagine.” Adam said looking at the screen.
                “What of her headaches? Have you found a reason or a cure for them yet?” Eve asked.
                Adam sighed in frustration, “A constant dead end. Several of the tests that were run came up with some very bazaar results. One even claimed that she was pregnant.”
                Eve’s eyebrows rose with this, “That certainly would be impressive. The vampire Virgin Mary.”
                “Oh love, she’s not a virgin.” Adam said.
                She couldn’t help but laugh knowing they had been together now, “Oh darling, knowing what a fantastically eager lover you are, I can’t imagine she would be. Are the two of you spending every night together now?”
                Adam looked somewhat disappointed, “Not in that sense, no. The day after we had been intimate, the headaches started. We haven’t been physically ‘together’ since then.”
                “Do you think the two are connected in some way?” She inquired.
                Adam sighed, “I don’t know. I don’t see how they could be. I would imagine if anything it would help. Wouldn’t it?”
                “Perhaps you should try it next time as a remedy. See if it helps relieve her pain.” She suggested.
                “Eve, have you ever heard of anything like this headache thing for us? I mean outside of those who contract blood poisoning. She hasn’t been poisoned, that’s the first thing checked. Not to mention we drink from the same supply, and I would have it too.” Adam said.
                “Every since you first told me I can’t remember ever coming across such a thing before. I asked Marlowe about it and he hadn’t either. But there are many things about Dani that are unique to her. This may be yet another, although an unfortunate one.”
                “Eve, she suffers so horrifically. I just want to make it stop.” Adam confessed.
                “I know sweetheart. All we can do is be patient, wait and see.” Eve comforted.
                “I love you, Eve.” Adam said missing her terribly.
                “And I you my darling. Take care.”
Ground Rules
                “I shouldn’t be here.” Dani said reluctantly going with Adam into his house carrying her duffle bag with her clothes and things.
                “Your zombie has gone to Canada with his co-workers, you have 3 nights off, and I believe a change of scenery would do you good.” He said closing the door and locking it.
                “This was your solution?” She said giving him a look. “You could have at least let me bring, Raven. She’s not going to like being inside during the day.”
                “You left her enough food and water for an army of cats, she’ll be fine. Now,” Adam took her bag, “Enough excuses. Make yourself at home.” He said heading up the stair case. Dani sighed mumbling something to herself before following after him. As a severe neat freak it was literally like psychological torture being in this house for any length of time.
                A while later, they were sitting in Adam’s living room as he brought them their supper. “I can’t believe you get wifi all the way out here in the middle of nowhere. Especially since I know you aren’t paying for it.” Dani said sitting with her laptop open on her knees.
                “You say that like it’s a bad thing. I don’t have an endless procession of bill collectors beating down my door, yet you seem to think it’s strange.” Adam pointed out, “Someday, you’re going to prize your anonymity too.”
                “But you have music, and art that you want to create and share with the world. You have real skill and talent but you hide. You give your work away to other people who are more than happy to take credit for it. How does any of that make for a happy existence?” She said closing her laptop and pulling her legs underneath her on the couch looking at him drinking her blood.
                “Fame isn’t the point of it. It’s getting the work out there in the world while not drawing attention to yourself. Considering we never age and our habits are a bit . . . taboo in the zombie world. The game of it is a pain in the ass sometimes, but the result and purpose of it is all the same.” He explained. Dani didn’t want to argue it and just took another drink from her glass. Adam finished his looking at her, “Sun’s almost up.”
                “I know.” Dani finished her blood handing him the glass picking up her laptop again. Adam arched a brow looking at her seeing she was obviously not quite ready to turn in yet apparently. He stood looking at her.
                “Will you be along shortly?” He asked.
                “Yeah. Totally.” She said with a nod. Adam looked at her suspiciously a moment before turning and heading out up to his room. Dani listened and waited until she heard the door of his room close. Instantly she jumped to her feet closing her laptop. Finally.
Obsessive Nature
                Adam reached over as if expecting to find someone lying next to him, but he just found empty space. Sleepily he raised his head finding he was very much alone even though he distinctly remembered bringing someone home with him the night before. “Dani?” He stretched a little before reluctantly getting up and pulling his jeans on to go find her.
                When he came down the stairs he already felt strange. Things felt incredibly different, and not as familiar as before. When he went into his living room it was now quite obvious why.
                Everything was spotless, organized, and clean. His instruments that he so often left lying about were mounted on display on the walls. All his electronic equipment was untangled, marked, and labeled. The floors were scrubbed, the carpets beaten clean; there wasn’t a trace of dust or dirt to be found. There was no clutter, nothing on the floors to step on or trip over, it defied explanation.
                Dani had warned him this would happen if he insisted she stay with him, but he had had no idea. He turned going back into the hallway finding it just as clean and organized as the living room. She’d even washed the walls. He turned seeing Dani coming up the stairs, her hair tied up in a bandana off her neck and her clothes looked a bit grungy and the worse for wear. It was no wondering why having done all this in one day by herself. She looked up seeing Adam standing before her starring at her. He motioned at the surroundings looking at her waiting to hear what happened.
                “Oh good, you’re awake. I can start upstairs now.” She said heading for the third flight of stairs.
                “Dani! What the hell!!” He exclaimed. “How the fuck did you do all this in one day?!”
                “That super speed thing we have comes in really handy sometimes, the extra strength too. I could get under the furniture by myself.” She said starting for the stairs again.
                “How much of my stuff have you thrown out?!” He demanded.
                She stopped looking at him, “Nothing. You said, as long as I didn’t throw away your stuff, you wouldn’t stop be cleaning. I didn’t throw stuff out, I put it away, cleaned and organized it. Which is why all your books have found their way to the actual book shelves and are now alphabetized. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have more bedding to collect before I head out to the laundry mat, and make use of every machine in the place.” She said heading up the stairs. He watched her go up still in shock.
                He looked around again, “Jesus fucking Christ.” He said covering his eyes with his hand.
                By morning, Dani finished her feverish ransacking cleaning frenzy of Adam’s house, including his room. Needless to say, it was like an entirely different place. Everything was clean. Things he wasn’t even aware were dirty were clean. He watched her lying on her stomach on the floor on her laptop, her headphones on, and her ankles crossed as they swung lazily in the air behind her. She did seem much more at ease and relaxed then she usually was when she was over.
                Dani felt eyes on her and looked over to him taking off her headphones, “Something wrong?”
                “How many lemon trees were killed in the cleaning of this house?” He questioned as his senses were assaulted with the fragrance of lemon in every direction.
                “That’s why the curtain’s and windows are all open, to air everything out.” She said checking the time so she could close everything before the sun started coming up. She looked over at him, “Adam . . . is there anything you haven’t been able to find?”
                “No.” He admitted. Actually, clean and organized made everything much easier to find and navigate.
                “Did I throw anything out that wasn’t like 80 year old decaying newspaper or trash?” She asked.
                “No.” He answered.
                “Then what is the problem? Did the giant dust bunnies have names?” She asked.
                Adam was quiet for a moment. “It’s just not what I’m used to. I didn’t know you were going to do a complete overhaul on my house. I’ve lived here a long time and it’s just . . . all really different.”
                Dani just stared at him, “I did laundry, washed the floors and walls, polished the wood, beat and vacuumed carpets . . . . and it’s giving you a coronary?” She said in disbelief. “Wow. I wouldn’t look in the bathroom than.”
                Adam furrowed his brow, “What did you do to my bathroom?” He said getting up and walking down the hallway. “YOU FIXED AND CLEANED MY FUCKING BATHROOM!?!?” She heard him exclaim. He came back into the living room, “How the fuck did you do that!!”
                “Uh . . . the internet and home depot.” She said looking at him “Is it possible for vampires to get a little manic sometimes.”
                “APPARENTLY!!!” He exclaimed. “Dani! STOP doing stuff!”
                “Well . . .there isn’t really much left to do. Unless you want me to start patching and painting the walls . . . .” She said having noted how in a few places the walls had holes.
                “If you even think about doing that, I swear to God I will lock you outside at sunrise.” He said seriously. Just then the alarm on Dani’s phone went off and she instantly got up and went to work quickly closing the windows and curtains. Adam rolled his eyes and walked out to go and close things up on the first floor while she went around the second.
                When the sun started to come up, Dani closed the last curtain before going over and turning off her laptop and closing the book she’d been reading when Adam walked up behind her and suddenly swept her up into his arms. “ADAM! What the hell!” She said caught off guard.
                “The last two days I went to bed without you, I woke up and didn’t recognize my own house.” He turned carrying her up the stairs to his room, “Not doing that a 3^rd time to wake up and find you added a fucking wing, or an underground cavern or some shit like that.” He set her to her feet and locked the door.
                “I said I’d stop. The house is clean; you’re good to go for another 90 years.” She said not knowing how he could live there like that for so long. Adam looked around his room that she’d basically sterilized like everything else.
                “What is that smell?” He questioned.
                Dani paused a moment to see what he was talking about, “Downey.” Adam looked at her, “Fabric softener.” She said motioning towards his bed which was clean and made.
                He covered his eyes with his hand, “Oh for fucks sake.” He said with a sigh then he looked up at her, “I don’t want to ever hear another excuse or your bitching when I want you to come over again. If I want you here; you are here with fucking bells on. Understood?” He said in a stern tone. Dani sighed and gave a nod, “If it really really bothers you, you can do LIGHT cleaning. It’s not the fucking hospital; it doesn’t have to be sanitized to where you can eat off the damn floor. I will even let you do the God Damned laundry if it rattles you so much, but that is IT! You are not my maid, you are not my housekeeper, and this is fucking ridiculous!”
                Dani gave another nod, “So I guess this means you aren’t going to let me start on the outside then?”
                Adam’s eyes narrowed and flashed as he was starting to get angry now, not thinking that was even remotely funny.
                “Alright, alright. I get it. No more spring cleaning . . . until next spring.” She added. Adam continued to stare at her and she sighed, “Yes sir.” She said taking off her shirt and walking over to her bag that she’d left on the chair.
                To be honest, the house had never looked so good. He was impressed she had done so much in such a short amount of time. But, she’d also had some time to consider everything she wanted to do having he told him before that the state of his house bothered her a lot. Yet she simply had to stop, viciously rearranging his environment while he slept was incredibly jarring.
                Shaking his head he unbuttoned his shirt and starting to undress as well.
