3. Together Again

"Good evening Mr Reid. It's good to see you again" a man in his mid thirties whose name he doesn't remember greeted Damien as they settled on the same table at the fundraising dinner.
"Its good to see you too" Damien responded as politely as possible. He hated having to interact with so many humans at once. Remember he was a vampire and had to worry about blood lust.

He had a good control over his hunger but once in a while he would catch a nice scent which usually meant the best tasting blood which was difficult to resist.
If he wasn't feeding on the blood packs Sterling stacked in his fridge at home, he would feed on a random stranger who he would glamour into forgetting it ever happened.

Only in his first years of being a vampire, mixed with depression of losing Olivia, did he actually give into the blood lust and kill his victims, but now he had full control and didn't allow himself to lose his humanity.
He avoided feeding on people who he would meet again because they tend to get attached because a bond is formed.
This was the problem he had with Maya. She had that type of scent he couldn't resist but feeding on her more than once was his biggest mistake.
He glamoured her into forgetting but she was still clingy. She misinterpreted the connection with attraction and she was extremely annoying.

Damien stood up and went to the hotels outdoor garden when he saw Maya heading in his direction. He was not in the mood to deal with her.
"Damien wait" Maya called out as she caught up with Damien.
"That's Mr Reid to you" he responded as he turned to her with a frown.

"Don't be like that Damien. I missed you. Why have you been ignoring me?" She asked with a pout as she took a step towards him and he took a step back.
"Because I don't want to talk to you. Is that a good enough reason for you?" He responded with a straight face.
"But i..."

"Oh there you are. I hope you didn't wait too long" she was cut off by another woman who stood next to Damien and wrapped her small delicate hands around his arm and facing Maya before Damien could get a good look at her.
"I hope I'm not interrupting anything" she said as she gave Maya an innocent smile.
Maya didn't respond but instead looked at how she clung onto Damien before she frowned, turned around and walked back into the hotel.
She was obviously angry but Damien was glad she had left. Maybe now she would stop bothering him.

"Sorry about that" the strange woman apologised as soon as Maya was out of sight. She also let go of Damien's arm and turned to face him.
"I was close by and it looked like you needed help. I hope I didn't cross the line" she said and he was speechless.

He stared into the familiar dark brown eyes he dreamed of every night. Her long golden brown hair was tied into a messy bun and she was dressed in pretty blue dress that showed off her collar bones.
"You must be wondering who I am considering the way you're staring at me" she said before giving him the beautiful smile he had missed so dearly, "My name is Olivia. Olivia Roberts. What's your name?" She asked after introducing herself.

"Damien. Damien Reid" he responded with a smile.
"Its nice to meet you Mr Reid" she said maintaining her smile.
"Its nice to meet you Miss Roberts" he responded with a smile.

'Finally we can be together again.' He thought to himself.
