Valentine’s Day 1967


Coraline and I have had a huge fight and she told me not to come back until I grow up. Maybe Josef can explain this to me because I just don’t get it.

“Josef, there is something off about Coraline and her friend Cynthia. I can’t stand her yet Coraline lets her stay with us. The way she touches her, Cynthia wants to turn her into a lesbian.”

Mick, nobody has turned Coraline into anything since she became a vampire. This is a conversation you should have with your wife.

I did and you won’t believe this but she told me she has already had sex with Cynthia!

But that she has been faithful to me since we’ve been married and I should grow up and get over it. Then she said. “You weren’t a virgin on our wedding day, I wasn’t either” Can you believe that???? As if it were the same thing!

Mick, you are aware of the fact that your wife is a vampire.

Josef.

And that she is a couple of hundred years older than you.

JOSEF

She had a life before she met you.

JOSEF ENOUGH!!! It’s different. I’ve never had sex with a man, I can’t even imagine it.

“Have you?” Mick asked in a small voice.

Josef is thinking to himself, the truth or a lie? Will the truth ruin our relationship forever?

Yes, Mick I have. When you live for over 350 years you experience a lot of things. You’re not old enough yet to understand. Go home and apologize to your wife.




Valentine’s Day 2027


This is the 15th Valentine’s Day Josef and I have spent as a couple. It’s the second longest relationship of my unlife.

I was thinking back and I spent two with Beth and thirty-three with Coraline and twenty-four alone.

Was it really 60 years ago today that Josef explained to me that we can have male and female lovers? We don’t have to be pigeon-holed into stereotypes. That life or unlife is filled with experiences.

I remember that day as if it were yesterday. I was so shocked, I really hadn’t thought of my wife being “older” than me and that Josef could be with a man. That was my first steps in realizing what immortality meant.

Josef will want to do something ridiculously romantic tonight. I’m a lucky man.

Very sweet. Nicely showing how far Mick has come in understanding what it means to be a vampire since he was turned. I'm glad you continued with this series. Maybe you can try other holidays, too?

I read this a couple of days ago and made a comment, and I can't remember where?? Oh, well, I'm happy to see your story over here!

Catmoon's right--you should try some other holidays!

[cassysj]

Thanks Catmoon. This came to me yesterday on Martin Luther King day. I thought that's not going to work I moved the boys to Australia what's next? Oh Valentine's Day

Thanks MV. I know we travel the Moonlight forums.

Oooh, I like the flashback! Poor, confused Mick. What a shock that realization must've been! And yet Josef handled it just perfectly. I love this:

This is a conversation you should have with your wife.

So true--and so Josef.

And now it's 60 years later, and Josef is doing ridiculously romantic things.

Josef the constant in Mick's unlife. I don't think Mick was mature enough for Coraline especially in the early years of their relationship. Josef puts things into perspective.
