Stay

I do not own Only Lovers Left Alive.

"Adam, where are we going?" I asked the British vampire.

He had showed up on my doorstep just as the sun had gone down. Then he had thrown me in his car and drove us out to the middle of nowhere. He had been dragging me through the forest for the past hour.

I couldn't see anything, but with Adam's night vision, I imagine it didn't matter.

Adam turned to me and shushed me.

After walking for 30 more minutes, we stopped.

I felt Adam's cold body behind me and a cold hand covered my eyes.

"Keep walking", he told me.

I took a few steps forward.

"Stop", Adam said. He uncovered my eyes and a saw a lake in the middle of a clearing.

The light from the full moon illuminated the water.

"It's beautiful Adam", I told him. I turned and saw him stripping off his shirt. I blushed as his long, pale, torso was exposed.

He took off his pants and shoes leaving him in his boxers.

"Adam…?" I asked him.

He walked over to me and took a hold of the bottom of my shirt.

I allowed him to lift it off my body. I slipped off my shorts and Adam took my hands in his.

He walked backward, his eyes never leaving mine.

Soon, we were waist deep in the water. We swam around in the lake for a while, completely losing track of time.

I noticed the sky slowly turning pink. "Adam, we have to go. The sun is coming up", I told him. I started to swim away from him, but he grabbed me by the waist and turned me around. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.

My fingers tangled themselves in his thick black hair.

He was quiet as his blue eyes stared into my hazel ones.

"Adam? What is it?" I asked him softly.

There was sadness in his blue eyes.

A sadness I hadn't seen since he had returned from Tangier without Eve.

"Would you stay with me?" Adam asked me.

"Of course I will Adam. You know I'll always stay when you ask", I told him, cupping his cold cheek in my hand.

"Not just for tonight", Adam said, "Forever. I want you stay with me forever".

Forever?

I had thought about spending the rest of my life with Adam, but never eternity.

A thousand thoughts were flying through my mind.

"Please stay with me", Adam begged.

"Okay", I breathed.

Adam's lips met mine and I could feel the tips of his fangs poking my bottom lip.

I was terrified, but I loved Adam more than anything. I knew I would never come close to what he had with Eve, but I knew he cared about me. I also knew that he would probably try to kill himself if I died and I just couldn't bear the thought of that.

That was the last night I was human.
