which made him one happy man. But that wasn’t all, he still demanded that Joyce got him a son in law since he was getting a little too old and he had goals to see her grandchildren.
Peter, Joyce’s employer was more than happy with the way the business was picking up and all of this was happening because of her. Besides, it seemed as though people liked Joyce and were talking so much about her to their friends who also made a point of visiting his joint. But what most people didn’t know was that peter wasn’t about the money. He had all the money in the world since he used to deal with mike back in the day and had his investments intact.
All he cared about at that moment was seeing people happy because, just like mike, he wasn’t interested in showing humans just how superior he was, unlike some vampires. He took a sip of that chilled B+ blood which was his favorite and made sure that he was keeping an eye on Joyce since in as much as she was entertaining all the new customers, she was his responsibility and he wasn’t going to let anyone try and mess with her.
And as far as Joyce was concerned, she was having the time of her life and for a moment almost kicked herself in the face for not having found that job much earlier. For the first time, she was starting to have some fun and she really was looking forward to having a very long future in that place. And that explained why several hours had passed without her even noticing that her shift was almost coming to an end.
And then as she was almost done with her shift that Friday, Joyce looked up to the door and stared for a moment. The man who walked in wasn’t just a handsome man with incredibly fitting clothes, but he looked like an alpha in flesh and blood. Joyce always loved dangerous men and that said, she couldn’t help but ogle as the hot, mysterious man stepped into the club.

Every Friday night, mike made a habit of visiting an old friend, who was also a vampire who was passing off as a bar owner. He and a couple of vampires went there to drink some chilled blood pass off as a drink and talked about politics and all the other normal topics that humans talked about when they were out on a Friday enjoying a drink or two.
But that particular Friday, it seemed as though things were going to feel very different and for a moment, mike wondered just what the heck was going to happen eventually. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for him to figure out what was about to go down.
Instead of peter, his bar owner friend, he had in his place a pretty young waitress. And for a very long time, mike had been looking for a woman who would make him feel butterflies in his stomach. But for a very long time, it seemed as though he hadn’t seen a woman who had the ability to do that, that was until that night.
“Hey, that is my new employee. If you think that you are going to have your way with her, then I am sorry because I don’t think that will ever happen any time soon.”
But it was apparent that peter was talking to himself because the guy wasn’t listening to him at all. Mike was already thinking about the best ways in which he was going to talk to her and get to ask her out. Peter knew that a relationship between a vampire and a human had never ended up well and it was clear that he didn’t want his friend or his employee to find themselves in some kind of situation that would be irreversible.
Peter also knew mike for a very long time and needless to say, it seemed as though mike wasn’t the kind of person to follow advice. Of course he got to listen to it, but never in his life did he even bother to follow it. And so peter decided to stand on the sidelines and watch. If things were going to work out, then their relationship would be the first he knew of. But if it was going to take a tumble, then he was going to step in just in time to prevent people from getting hurt.
But still, peter thought
