Now and Forever

Nandini rushed through the lobby of the intimidating building, adjusting her sleeves. She was late on her first day of work and she was so sure either she would get scolded or worse fired. Both the thoughts made her tensed. She had set her alarm clock for six in the morning and slept early the night before just so that she could manage to wake up early but even after trying so hard, her eyes betrayed her this morning too. She mumbled few curses under her breath as she waited for the elevator door to open. "Oh come on. Come on." she impatiently tapped her foot. For a second, she thought of teleporting but the very next second she dumped the idea. She was a vampire, an existence unknown to the human world. She had a petite figure but you can't judge a book by it's cover, she had a strength of a gigantic elephant or even more than it. She could teleport from one place to other in less than a second which, even among her peers, only very few could do. Because of her uniqueness she wasn'

Nandini could feel her self control giving in to her desire of sucking his blood. Frustrated, she covered her mouth and nose with her right hand, trying hard to block his scent but it did nothing. She turned to leave but Manik's voice stopped her midway. "Did I tell you to leave Miss Taylor?" She closed her eyes in frustration. "No sir you didn't." she turned to face him. "Brief me my schedule." he reclined on his chair and looked at her. "And uncover your mouth. It's irking me." "Yes sir." she complied as she uncovered her mouth and his blood smelled even stronger than before. She dabbed her lips and clenched her fist trying hard not to lose her control. "Miss Taylor brief me my schedule." he said yet again and she forced a smile, taking out her phone from her pocket. "At 12:00, you have one me-meeting-" she paused, letting out a sharp breath, before continuing, "with the strategy and planning department regarding the recent updates made in the game sir." "And what more?" he cl

Nandini jumped out of bed after checking the wall clock. It was 8:40 am and she had to report in the office by 9:00 am. She quickly freshened up before changing into anything she got in her closet. She couldn't take the risk of skipping her breakfast as it would only contribute in triggering her desire for blood, specifically his blood. So she hurriedly heated the leftovers from last night. After she was done eating, she placed the dishes on the sink and hastily tossed a tablet into her mouth. Sighing, she glanced at the clock only to slump on the ground. She was already five minutes late. "Using my powers just one more time wouldn't hurt. Right?" She mumbled to herself before standing upright. She made sure no one was around before closing her eyes and chanting a spell under her breath. The next moment she was inside Manik cabin's attached restroom with her feet dipped in the water filled bucket. Her shoes and her stockings were completely wet. "What a great start to my day!" she

Three days later"Finally my precious Sunday has arrived." Nandini smiled as she over dramatically threw herself on her bed. "I can sleep till late in the morning. Oh my precious sleep!" She rolled on the bed, grinning. That was when her eyes landed on her table where the capsule ingredients were safely placed. She remembered that she had to make a stronger dose of those capsules of hers. Throughout the week, she had a hard time staying in a closed space with him even with the capsules that she consumed in the interval of every three to fours hours.*Beep Beep*Her phone beeped, making her tear her gaze from her table to her phone placed on the bedside table. She crawled on her bed and reached for her phone."Boss"The name flashed on her phone screen and she pouted. "I think I should change his name. Boss sounds too distinct." she said to herself before pi

The gathering was supposed to be a small celebration for the huge success of the previous gaming event or so Nandini had thought until she stepped into the gigantic, glassy space and her eyes fell on the people around. Everyone were adorned in their finest attires, most chatting, drinking and some even swaying their hips to the music on the dance floor. It was completely opposite of what she had pictured it would be, not that she didn't like it though. "Wasn't it just supposed to be a small gathering to motivate everyone?" Nandini asked, suddenly feeling out of place. She was dressed in a plain black knee length turtle neck one piece, nothing extravagant but classy. "It is." Manik answered with a nod. "Then what's with everyone.." she trailed off with her eyes wandering around the room. "I mean why are they so overly dressed and what's with the music? Aren't office gathering meant to be on a more formal side? This honestly feels less like an office gathering and more like an actual
