"Penny!" he finally broke his lips away.

"What?!" I asked, slightly annoyed.

"I... I have something to tell you," he said as he pushed me away.

Now I was really annoyed, how could he leave a hot and bothered woman like me hanging like that?

"Before we go any further, I have two secrets I must share. I think it's only courteous that I let you know."

I sighed, "Alright, out with it then, what is it?"

"My first, less important secret, is that I'm bi," he said.

"Okay, so what? You like me right?" my voice trailed off.

Wait. I heard a little voice in my head say. If coming out of the closet for him is a 'less important secret', what was the more important one?

I looked back Louis as his shadow somehow moved and loomed on his own. What, the, fuck was that? Fresh adrenaline pumped within me as I staggered back from Louis. My mouth open, I frantically warmed up my vocal cords, preparing to scream.

"Look, it's alright, relax," Louis reassured as his shadow suddenly behaved itself again.

"The truth is, I'm actually a seven hundred year old vampire."

A what? Vampires exist?

"Y-you're not going to bite my neck and kill me now are you?" I ventured cautiously, my eyes hurriedly scanning the office for something, anything that I could use to defend myself. I found nothing in sight.

"Penny... I can read minds, and I can move faster than you think. If I wanted you dead you'd be dead already."

"Well that's not very comforting," I replied candidly.
