Bride of Blood:: First Kiss Read Online Free PDF Page A

        Chelsea looked and Alexander and smiled.   She was 17 and thought he was the most handsome man she’d ever seen. She was very beautiful and appeared very delicate with her high cheek bones and long dark hair.   She looked much more like her father than her mother, except that she was super slim, and Rick was a large gentleman.   She had always done well in school, specializing in business and accounting courses.   She had no other ambition other than to be Anton’s familiar.   It was a lifelong commitment that she was readily able to accept.   But she was especially fond of Alexander who appeared to be right around her age.   Alexander smiled back at her after reading her thoughts.   She blushed and tried unsuccessfully to clear her mind for the rest of the trip.  
                              Within a few moments they arrived at the destination.   They stopped about two blocks from the bar that Anton and Alexander were going to visit.   They got out of the van and Anton gave some instructions to Rick.   Chelsea smiled at Alexander and waved to him from the car window as she had done several hundred times since she was a toddler.   Alexander waved back to her.   A tinge of sadness overcame him as he thought of what it must mean to love someone you could never have.   The van pulled away as they started to walk towards the bar.   The streets around the bar were filled with cars trying to find a spot to park on the street or in the small parking lot beside it.   A large sign over the door and the frosted-over window read “JR’s Place.”   The front door had a sign on it that read “21 or over only.”   “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.”   Anton looked at Alexander with a smile as they opened the door and went inside.  
                              The bar was decorated in the typical way that anyone would expect the bar to be decorated in a small town:   lots of neon beer signs and posters of half-naked women.   There was a crowd that was made up of people of all ages, but mostly young, college aged.   The floor was concrete and appeared as if it had once been painted red, but most of the color had been scratched out of it.   There were several bar stools that were permanently fastened to the ground to keep patrons from stealing them.   The bar was stocked with the usual bottles of every kind of liquor known to man, and several beers were on tap.   A large mirror was behind the bar that was actually a two-way mirror to keep patrons from trying to get themselves free drinks.  
                              After leaving the bar area there were several tables and booths.   There were also about 4 pool tables, a hallway to the restroom, a small stage, a jukebox, a video game that never worked and an electronic dartboard.   Nearly every seat in the place was taken.  
                              Anton and Alexander made their way in from the cold and walked up to the bar and sat down.   JR, as usual was tending.   He looked like a tired, old rock star:   he had long blonde hair and always wore t-shirts advertising 80’s hair bands.   What made most people remember him was his colorful bandanas and his large nose.   He was always humming songs from the bands that he loved no matter what was playing on the jukebox or what type of band was performing on the small stage in the corner.   He absolutely hated any music that came after the early 90’s and would bash Kurt Cobain and alternative music every chance he got.
                              Anton smiled at JR and nodded towards the security camera on the wall.   JR nodded back and pressing a button under the bar, in effect shutting off all the bar’s security cameras.  
                              ‘’What will you have, gentlemen?” JR asked as he wiped off the bar with a wet rag.   He knew the answer already but always asked.
