I, Dexter and Jonathan, Dexter's friend, left Newcrest in the evening and drove to Willow Creek by train. Willow Creek is not very big city two hours away from Newcrest. Willow Creek is very famous as cultural historical center, many cultural events took place there, so you could attend the concerts almost every weekend in Willow Creek. The band what concert we attended called "Llama Kings". It's one of favorite Dexter's bands, but it was a first time, when I heard them. I really liked them. They played strong very melodic rock. Jackson Day, their vocalist and front man, was very charismatic and he was very honest with his audience. I can say people loved them. And I proud of myself, because I attended the first concert on the Earth planet.
Unfortunately, Jonathan had to leave almost at once when "Llama Kings" left the stage after their third bis.
"Have a good time, folks!" He wished us. "See you next week!"
"Yes, till Monday, mate!" Dexter shouted his friend.
I smiled and waved Johathan. Soon Jonathan's tall athletic figure disappeared behind the club "Blue Velvet" door.
"He has night shift..." Dexter said still looking at the door as we saw that some guy stopped Jonathan asking him to give a fire to light his cigarette.
"Where?" I asked.
"Jonathan works in Willow Creek central hospital as nurse's assistant. I imagine how his all patients return from coma when he enters their room!" Dexter chuckled.

Yes, Jonathan was very bright persona just like Dexter. They both called themselves cybergoths and were friends almost since their childhood. I smiled.
"Positively looking people should be like a cure to the patients", I said.
Suddenly I felt how my phone started to vibrate in my pocket.
"Hello!"
"Hi, baby..." I heard Joshua's voice.
"Hi..." I muttered feeling a bit confused and a bit happy at the same time. Somehow I didn't expect to get a call from Joshua.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine..." I said. "You?"
"I'm trying to be fine..." Joshua's voice sounded sad. "I called just because I wanted to hear your voice, Lucien... I miss you so much."
I sighed and smiled at my phone.
"I miss you, too..."I said feeling how Joshua's sad mood transfers to me. "How is... Avani?"
"I and she... Well, we try to be friends and care about the babies together..."
"Babies?"
"Yes, she's gonna have twins. Boy and girl. Avani had ultrasound few days ago."
"Wow! That's cool! Aren't you happy?"
"No... I'm not..."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not with you," Joshua answered gloomy.
"Josh..." I said. "We need a time. I need my time."
"Yes... I know..."
I nodded biting my own lip and staring at the bottles on the shelf behind the bartender's back.
Silence. We didn't know what to say each other. It was just too hard to talk.
"Well..." Joshua was first who broke the silence. "I have to go, baby. It was really so good to hear your voice..."
"Likewise..." I said.
"Then bye, baby..."
"Bye..."

"Bye..."
I hid my phone in the pocket and sipped my drink. I felt how my good mood started to evaporate like a fog. I missed Joshua, but I wasn't still sure about us. Two weeks weren't enough for me. And there was Dexter... I felt his glance and I knew that he knows my thoughts like I knew his.
"Hey... So what's in that link, Lucien? I didn't have a time to open your link..." Dexter asked me. I knew that he simply wanted to distract me from my sad thoughts.
"It's about what we talked before... Vampires..." I answered.
"Oh... Really?"
"Yep..." I nodded and sipped my drink again. "It can be that vampires really exist... But how they bit Joshua I have no idea..." I shrugged.
"You still think of him.." Dexter said staring at his glass.
"Is he jealous?" I thought and looked at Dexter.
"Well... It's not so easy not to think of him..." I said.
"I understand..."
"But I want to forget... Really..."
"It's about what we talked before... Vampires..." I answered.
"Oh... Really?"
"Yep..." I nodded and sipped my drink again. "It can be that vampires really exist... But how they bit Joshua I have no idea..." I shrugged.

"Is he jealous?" I thought and looked at Dexter.
"Well... It's not so easy not to think of him..." I said.
"I understand..."
"But I want to forget... Really..."
"And I want to see you happy..." Dexter smiled. "Don't forget that we are bonded..."
"Is it possible to forget it?" I looked at Dexter's eyes.
He shook his head looking at me back. We looked at each other long time and it seemed that only our eyes talk. I felt like mesmerized again. It was attraction, very strong attraction and I knew that I'm too weak to fight against it. I gulped and felt how I got red. Just like that night when I and Dexter attended "The Narwhal Arms" in Windenburg.
"Let's drink for us!" I raised my glass and drunk all to the bottom.

Dexter ordered some drinks for us again. Later I ordered... I wanted to get drunk and Dexter followed me even not thinking about anything. Alcohol made me not only forget my sadness and Joshua, but relaxed me and my emotions. It wasn't hard to stare at Dexter's green eyes anymore...
"So..." I heard Dexter's voice like in a dream.
"So?" I raised my eyebrow and grinned at him. My voice sounded different. It had flirty note I guess as Dexter smiled at me mysteriously not taking his eyes away from me.
"What about us, my soul twin?" He asked.
"What do you mean?" I pretended that I don't understand.
"I mean... You really know what I mean," Dexter chuckled playfully.
"No..." I shook my head and smirked.
Dexter stood up and leaned against me whispering.
"Come with me... I'll show you what I mean..."
I slightly shivered. Dexter's sexy mysterious voice electrified and almost hypnotized me.

I rose to my feet, Dexter took my hand and we went...
I sat at the bar and felt as if I'd fallen from the tree. I heard people voices and their laughter, some electronic music, but I couldn't say where I am and what I'm doing here. I remembered only one that I was with Dexter. I looked around trying to see him, but he wasn't here. It made very puzzled. I was sure that I was with him, so where is Dexter?
"And who bought this bowl of chips? Did I order it? When?" I stared at my bowl and only now noticed that I am talking with myself. I giggled.
"I'm drunk as hell!" I mumbled to myself and tried to take the chips and put it in my mouth, but my fingers didn't want to listen to me.
"Holly crap!" I laughed at myself.
"I'm drunk as hell!" I mumbled to myself and tried to take the chips and put it in my mouth, but my fingers didn't want to listen to me.
"Holly crap!" I laughed at myself.
"Hey, dude!" suddenly I heard female voice. "Stop trampling my feet!"
I turned my face and saw a young woman sitting next to me.
"Sorry..." I grinned. "Did you see Dexter?"
"Who is Dexter?" She looked at me as if I was lunatic.
"My soul twin..."
"Oh my God!" A woman burst in laughter. "You are hopeless romantic, aren't you? Really rare specimen in these days!"
"OK, I'm hopeless romantic and who are you?" I smirked.
"Are you hitting on me, hun?" Woman laughed.
"Never mind, I'll still find out", I said and tried to connect to her mind.
"What the hell are you doing?" She asked me with a smile on her face. Her smile was beautiful.
"Nothing, trying to scan you..." I mumbled.
I turned my face and saw a young woman sitting next to me.

"Nothing, trying to scan you..." I mumbled.
"Ha ha ha!" A woman laughed. "Where did you come from, stranger?"
"I'm from Newcrest... Do you want to come with me?" I asked.
"Leave the guy alone, Khloe!" Was heard male voice.
"It's not your fucking business, Mathew! Let us to talk!" She yelled at the man.
"Ah, so you are Khloe!" I grinned from ear to ear watching her. I was all into flirting and foolery.
"I'm from Newcrest... Do you want to come with me?" I asked.
"Leave the guy alone, Khloe!" Was heard male voice.
"It's not your fucking business, Mathew! Let us to talk!" She yelled at the man.
"Ah, so you are Khloe!" I grinned from ear to ear watching her. I was all into flirting and foolery.
"So, handsome... What's your name?" Khloe turned to me and started to explore my face.
"Lucc...ien..." I said hiccuping and smiled at her again.
"Nice name, nice man..." She looked at me from head to toe. "But you are totally wasted, hun, so you are useless!"
"No... I'm not drunk... I just..."
"What just?" She asked laughing.
"I just swallowed the frog I guess. That's all!" I chuckled shrugging and hiccuped again.
"You are crazy and funny!" Khloe giggled. "And it's really bad that I'm married..."
"Lucc...ien..." I said hiccuping and smiled at her again.
"Nice name, nice man..." She looked at me from head to toe. "But you are totally wasted, hun, so you are useless!"
"No... I'm not drunk... I just..."
"What just?" She asked laughing.
"I just swallowed the frog I guess. That's all!" I chuckled shrugging and hiccuped again.
"You are crazy and funny!" Khloe giggled. "And it's really bad that I'm married..."
And then I felt how everything spins in my eyes. I held my head covering my face. Then I fell asleep or just have been disconnected from the existing world as I can't say what has happened. When I came to myself I noticed that I'm sitting alone. I saw some blue haired hippie coming to me.
"Go home, man! Police is coming here!" He patted my shoulder standing behind me.
"Why?"
"Ordinary drunk fight..."
"Ah... But I didn't fight!"
"You are drunk, that's enough to take you to guard-room, mate!
"We will call taxi," a bartender said to me.
"O... OK..." I nodded. "And where is Dexter?"
"That weird looking guy with long purple dreads?" A bartender asked me dialing the number.
"Yep..." I nodded.
"He left the club few hours ago..." A bartender answered and started to talk to her phone. "We need a taxi. Night club "Blue Velvet"... Yes... Thanks. Taxi will come after 5 minutes." A girl turned to me.
"Thanks", I said trying to stand up. My feet didn't want to listen to me at all.

"Bye!" I waved to bartender and staggered outside.
It was very cold outside and it was almost the morning. "Shit... How much did I drink?" I thought staring at the empty street. "And why did Dexter leave me without any word? What has happened? Did we argued?" I thought trying to find the answer, but I couldn't think anything reasonable.
