Solomon’s Daughters: The Wedding



























Chapter 12












Liz was in the kitchen when he came upstairs and got a drink from the fridge.

“Where is everyone,” he asked her.

“They have taken control of your room and are figuring out what to wear for the wedding,” was the reply.

“Why aren’t you in there with them,” he asked curiously. She walked over and stood in front of him so close that their clothes brushed together. She was staring directly into his eyes with a serious expression on her face and he stared back mesmerized by her beautiful green gaze. He saw her lips move but was so focused on her eyes that he didn’t realized she had spoken for a few second.

“What did you say,” he asked after he realized she was waiting for an answer. Her lips quirked into a small smile.

“Where are we having the wedding,” she asked again repeating the question. Anthony heard the words but as stood there and continued to stare into her eyes his brain worked sluggishly.

“Old goblin throne room,” he finally managed to say and by that time Liz was grinning loving into his eyes and his pulse was climbing with every second of eye contact that passed. He took a step towards her and she stepped back away from him and turned to leave the room.

“I’ll go look and see how you decorated and then we’ll spend the rest of the day managing the rest of the details. You need to go spend the night somewhere else you can’t see us until tomorrow at the wedding we will call you with the details,” she finish as she neared the door to the hall.

“Liz,” Anthony said and she stopped and looked back at him.

“Yes,” she asked.

“I love you,” he told her and she smiled happily at him and her eyes misted over slightly.

“I love you too,” she said softly and exited the kitchen. Anthony stood there for a few minutes just thinking about the future and wondering what consequences his choices would bring. With a sigh he headed for the front door grabbing his key and the bag of jewelry he had made. He got into his car and pulled out heading for Eternal Night and reached out and turned on the radio. He reached the club with no problem and found that Jenny had reserved a parking spot with his name on it, he pulled in and shut off the car before climbing out. He walked in through a side door using a key and headed for Jenny’s office but she wasn’t there and he turned to go and was nearly knocked from his feet when Kira plowed into his stomach.

“Anthony will you play with me,” she asked. He smiled down at her and nodded and she clapped her hands and dashed off leaving him standing there to wait for her return. He didn’t have to wait long and when she returned with her toys they commenced having a pretend tea party then they played a few board games. Kira’s eyes began to flutter closed and she crawled up into Anthony’s lap and wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his stomach. He cradled her tiny form to his and lay back with her sleeping peacefully on his chest and slowly drift off so rhythm of soft breathing and the smell of strawberry shampoo drifting to him from her hair. They remained in this position for a couple hours and that is how Jenny found them.

“Kira,” Jenny growled under her breath seeing the mess on the floor of her office. Then she froze when she saw the two figures on the floor next to the game that they had been playing. Anthony hand was tangled in Kira’s hair and his other hand was resting lightly on the small of her tiny back. Kira whimpered in her sleep as Jenny watched and Anthony rubbed his hand on her back up and down quieting her without even waking. Jenny sighed and began cleaning the room then grabbed a blanket from the back of a lounge chair and covered the two sleeping figures before taking a seat at her desk and starting her paper work. Hours passed and night fell and Anthony and Kira didn’t stir.

With a yawn and a stretch Anthony woke with the rising sun. He carefully moved Kira onto the couch and covered her with the blanket that was lying across them. He then headed out into the club looking for Jenny and found her scolding one of the bouncers.

“Underage kids aren’t allowed in and the ones over eighteen but under the drinking age are supposed to be marked on their right hand you know that,” she growled at the tall man with wide shoulders and muscled arms nearly as think as one of Anthony’s legs.

“What’s up,” Anthony said with a yawn as he walked up to Jenny. She shot him an irritated look but answered his question anyway.

“This is Jake and last night he let in two sisters one was nineteen and the other seventeen. He didn’t even mark either of them as underage. If Nathan at the bar hadn’t thought they looked too young he would have served them and we could have been fined or lost our alcohol license. What makes this so annoying is that this isn’t the first time and Jake just says he understands but does what he wants anyway,” Jenny said with frustration.

“Then why don’t you fire him,” Anthony asked puzzled. With a start Jenny and Jake both looked at him in
surprise.

“Can I do that? And you know he is one of our people right,” she asked.

“Jenny you are in charge here. The fact that he is one of my vampires doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to do his job. If you want to fire someone or change the drink menu or add to it do so. Anything that doesn’t cost massive amounts of money is okay to do without my permission. If you get the urge to renovate the club that you need my permission for but short of that your word is law here,” Anthony explained. With his words a triumphant and malicious grin split here face flashing her fangs and Anthony realized her anger must have caused them to extend. She turned her attention back to the Jake who was not looking so confident now.

“Jenny wait a minute…,” he began but she raised a hand and cut him off.

“You have repeatedly broken the rules and been late or not showed up for work at all without even calling in. You are a crappy employee and I have seen nothing to tell me you might become better so your fire,” she said sounding the lasted word with glee. Jake opened his mouth to protest but she glared him into silence. He turned to look at Anthony but found only indifference in Anthony’s eyes and gritting his teeth in anger he turned and walked off into the back area of the club were the vampires that lived here were housed. With a relieved she Jenny turned back to Anthony.

“What can I help you with,” she asked him.

“First thanks for the blanket and second where can I get some food? I am starving,” he said.

“You’re welcome and head over to the bar I’ll have who ever is on cooking duty today bring you some eggs and sausage,” she said and walked off. Anthony walked through the crowd of people still moving around the club and was astounded that the club was as almost as busy during the day as at night. He made his way to the bar and hopped onto a stool that gave him a good view of the rest of the club. The bartender was now a tall blonde with small breasts and long blonde hair, so he figured Nathan had been replaced. The blonde turned her ice blue eyes on him and smile a bright innocent smile that lit up her eyes with happiness. Her face was beautiful and with her eyes and smile made her look very young her body what slender but Anthony could see the muscles move slightly under her skin as she moved over to him.

“What can I get you,” she asked him.

“Hi I’m Anthony, and you can get me your name,” he said holding out his hand to shake her. Her smile turned brittle around the edges but she took his hand and shook once before letting go.

“I’m Tina, nice to meet you Anthony. What can I get you to drink,” she asked him again. Just then a pudgy male vampire in an apron walked up with a tray and slid it in front of Anthony.

“I’m the chef Carlos. Jenny said to bring you something to eat, it’s good to meet you sir,” he said and shook Anthony’s had exuberantly nearly shaking him of his stool. Carlos’s wide grin was infectious and Anthony smiled back and thanked the large vampire for the food and he walked of back into the kitchen. The blonde was still there staring at Anthony when he turned back to the bar.

“Sir,” she asked.

“Anthony Caine, owner of The Eternal Night, at your service,” he said. She looked surprised for a moment then she looked nervous.

“Don’t worry about it I am not here to spy on you or judged your ability to do your job.
