Chapter Five
I looked in the mirror and I was feeling confident.
Well mom says I’m hot. But I know she only says that because she loves me.
_ Son, don’t forget to take your lunchbox.
_ Mother of heaven. I don’t go to kindergarten. I’m going for an interview.
_ Oh son I had forgotten. Go finish your coffee ☕️ and good luck my beautiful.
_ Thank you mom.
I took the first bus and it was full. It would be a little test, I didn’t have a car, we didn’t have a lot of money, enough for a year, but I needed to get a job, and me taking the bus would be a test to see if people would notice my vampirism, I hope not.
It was a push push. People’s smell was different, it had been a long time since I had taken human blood, I think it had been about 10 years without taking it, I could control it, when I walked in all eyes came to me, I needed to be well, I looked at people, they stared at me, I was afraid they would find out I was a vampire. I didn’t smile, not because my fangs might show, we could control their exit, but I really didn’t want to make it easier and spoil everything.
It was so full that I excused myself until I looked into a small space. And I went to her and sat down.
The benches had a girl, with blond hair, she was holding a teddy bear. As if it were a child, she looked at me and smiled and said.
You can sit down.
-Thank you, young maiden.
The girl kept looking at me as if I were an animal, but she wasn’t afraid, she looked with fascination and curiosity.
“I hope she didn’t notice anything“
The Powermans Model building wasn’t too far from the house.
It took about an hour
Until I was looking at the clock and enjoying the landscape.
Finally I gave the stop sign.
_ Boy I’m going down!
_ Is going down!
_ Hey young man, don’t push.
_ Get down soon you nerd.
Some passengers pushed me, some were uneducated, if it was like 100 years ago, I would have gotten angry and killed everyone there, but no, now I’m a peaceful vampire.
_ There my briefcase. Hey don’t push you rude!
Damn it! I ended up falling to the floor. A thick one ended up pushing me. And I ended up hurting my knee.
But my vision brightened when I saw a beautiful tree full of cherry blossoms. It was very beautiful. But I looked at the building, and what a huge building.
_ Wow how huge is this place! Well now I’m here. Here we go!
I arrived at reception and there was a very beautiful woman. She looked like a model.
She was getting ready, put on lipstick and looked at my face in amazement.
_ Oh wow!
“My God, have the gates of hell been opened? What is this ugly guy doing here?”
“He’s spoiling my vision”
That’s what she was thinking of me, that was the worst problem with being a vampire, being able to read humans’ minds, and she called me ugly, I know thatno I am beautiful.
_ Ah, how can I help?
_Oh hello I’m Benjamin. I came for an interview.
The girl measured me up and down. With a disgusted face.
_ Ah… Right but interview for which position?
_ Finance Secretary.
_ Hmm ok I’m glad it’s not for a model isn’t it.
She joked, applying another layer of lipstick and laughing.
_ No ma’am I…
_ Miss ! I am not married. And look, I have to be honest.
_ You are not in the company profile.
_ But girl you didn’t even see my resume, I can guarantee you that I’m qualified.
Suddenly another girl with a very preppy model style arrives at the reception and is startled when she sees Benjamin.
_ Ahh that’s it!
_ Oh hi Lorraine.
_ Who let it in here?
_He came for an interview.
_ From what? Monkey in the circus? My dear here is not a circus.
I was already used to these reactions and I adjusted my glasses looking at the girl and replied.
_No girl, I came for an interview.
_ Hahaha Oh yeah. This always happens.
_ I didn’t understand girl.
_ You came to try for a modeling position here. Dude have you ever looked in the mirror?
_ No girl. I came to the finance secretary interview. I’m already late.
_ Oh boy it is…
_ Benjamin at your orders.
_ Whatever! . We are looking for a secretary. But you don’t fit.
How angry these two are driving me crazy, pray girls you don’t see my worst side, I’m still being very peaceful. Because if you knew me well before, there would be nothing left of you, calm Kayus, calm down, do your best, you will make it, use your seduction gifts.
-Young maidens, I can call you that, because you sure beautify this beautiful place, it couldn’t be other people, you are so beautiful, more beautiful than the rarest flower.
The compliment paid off, the two mocreias were open-mouthed, looking surprised at my words.
-Thank you, what’s your name?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
