"Ok tell me where we are going?" I ask holding on to his arm, hoping to get the smile from before back on his face, I don't know what his father said but I know it was nothing good

He smirks down at me and shakes his head "a concert, an old friend of mine can get us tickets" he tells me

I smile "really?" I ask but my smile turns to a smirk "now that wasn't to hard, aren't you glad you told me" I giggle

He chuckles running a hand through his dark hair "If you want to know somethings that's hard-" I interrupt him quickly with a question avoiding a blush that would sure to cover my face if he had finished that

"Who are we going to see?" I ask excited, this could be fun. I haven't been to a concert before, unless you count a couple of piano and violin concerts that my mom made me attend too show me what they were doing and what I needed to fix in my performance

He looks me over "Well we can't go with you wearing that" he says

I look down at my clothes, a simple pastel coloured and flower printed dress, it's covered with my long beige trench coat tied around my waist, my legs are covered with black stocking and a pair of light navy heels fit on my feet.

"What's wrong with my outfit?" I ask looking up at him

"Where we're going you might stand out a little...come on" he drags me down the sidewalk and to his expensive shinny car

We drive for a little while while I try to get out of him where he's taking me but he said I already ruined one surprise. So I reluctantly sit back and patiently wait until we get to wherever we're going.

"The mall?" I ask staring up at the big white building with a mass of people walking in and out of the doors

"Yes the mall, now come on we have to get you some new clothes" he says opening his door and walking around to mine and letting me out

"I still don't know why I have to change, do I look bad or something?" I ask becoming self conscious of how I look

He chuckles walking a step towards me and trapping me against his car "darlin' you couldn't look back and frankly You'd sure as hell look good in nothing" he whispers

I laugh and push at his chest "you're such a charmer" I say, he smiles and kisses my cheek

We walk up to the glass doors and he follows in after me, I don't usually go to the mall so I'm not sure where everything is or what we are even looking for. Obviously Vincent is in the same boat because he brings us over to a map and quietly looks over it until he finds what he's looking for.

He reaches for my hand but I pull away and look at him, he seems to know why I did this "no one that we know should be here" he tells me "don't worry" he says quieter and slowly reaches back for my hand

I take it and nod, he nods back and leads the way through the crowd of people. We walk around passing by store after store as I look out for people who could know us and start to talk. Knowing the society I've grown up in that's all people seems to want to do, talk about each other "ok, let's go" he stops in front of a dark looking store, I tilt my head with my mouth hung open

He pulls my hand but I stay still, looking into the store. The lighting is practically nonexistent, dark colored clothes line the brick walls, the people walking in and out have different piercing and hair color "what exactly are we going to do in here?" I ask with a raised eyebrow

He smirks "I know it's not our typical scene but you said you wanted different" he says with a genuine smile, I nod trusting him and letting him lead us in

A girl with bright red hair slung up into two messy buns placed on her head walks up to us, she has black fishnet leggings on, a black tie up corset with lace and buckles allowing her ample breasts to show to everyone around, she has a nose and two lip piercing, I'm sure more elsewhere.

"Hey there I'm Jordan, can I help you find anything?" She asks, she doesn't even seem to notice our outfits and how out of place we are

"Um..." I trail off looking around hardly hearing her over the loud but good music

"We need a new outfit for her" Vincent tells the girl pointing at me

She smiles revealing another piecing on her tongue as she answers "ok sure, what were you thinking?" She asks her purple eyes looking at me...must be some weird contacts

"I'm not really sure, something different" I tell her, even though I'm not sure who we are seeing at the concert I've gathered that Vincent was right I wouldn't fit in to wherever we are going if he brought me here

"I think I have a few ideas" she smirks at me and grabs my arm pulling me away from a chuckling Vincent

We walk through the store and every rack we walk by Jordan throws small skimpy looking clothes, that I doubt will fit me, on her and my arms. Vincent follows behind quietly as Jordan rambles on about how good I would look in this or that and that I'm covering way to much skin, she also talks about a new tattoo she's thinking of getting and how one day she wants a sleeve.

After my arms are weighed down so that I can hardly carry anything else Jordan leads us into a dressing room and helps me hang the clothes on the hooks.

"Ok I'll be out here if you need anything else, tell me when you pick something!" She says leaving me and Vincent behind in the small dressing room covered only by a curtain

For someone who looks so threatening she sure is friendly

"So what are you trying on first" Vincent asks moving towards me

"You'll find out soon enough now out you go" I push at him and he chuckles pushing back the black curtain and peeking through the crack but I scold him and he backs away laughing and sitting on the bench just outside

I laugh to myself and look in the mirror, the only light hanging from the ceiling is placed over it, it has sharpie and finger prints all over it. The walls are black but covered in different colored spray paint and a small bench is in the corner. I shrug and put on the first outfit Jordan picked out.

I stare at myself dumbfounded, no way I'm walking out in this, I look completely naked. She picked out similar fishnet leggings that she was wearing and I had a little trouble pulling them on, on top of them are short black shorts, a gray shirt hangs on one shoulder while I pull it up on the other side, the back is nonexistent showing my bra and the rest of my back, it cuts low down my chest and I try to pull it up over my cleavage. She gave me a pair of combat boots to wear and my hair is messy from pulling my shirt on and off.

"Vincent I can't come out in this" I call out trying to pull my shorts down and shirt up

"Come on where we're going you'll look normal, just let me see" he says

I stare at myself feeling more revealing than ever, but surprisingly in these clothes I actually feel like a normal twenty two year old.

"I don't know" I say looking over my body feeling the need to throw on my trench coat

"Come on don't be a baby" he says

I frown and pout my lip, I turn from the mirror and slide open the curtain "I'm not being a baby" I tell him expecting him to smirk and tell me that I am but his eyes grow wide when he sees me and whatever words he was about to say get lost on his tongue as his mouth hangs open, his eyes scan over me like a hungry lion and instantly I feel warmth spread through me "I-I don't know about this one" I stutter trying to compose myself better than Vincent is doing right now

He still has his eyes glued to me, they move up and down at body, some part they linger on only flushing my skin more. He clears he throats and blinks a couple of times, he changes his position on the bench and looks back up at me "um..."

I blush even though I'm fighting the urge to laugh "Vincent King with nothing to say" I smile over at him

His eyes fall on mine and they are darker than there usually golden brown "honestly I don't think you want me to say what I'm thinking" he says in a very husky tone "and even though I would love to stare at you in this I can't be as nice to let anyone else see you or they might steal you away and I might have to punch them in the throat" he says very seriously but with a small smirk

I laugh at his words "I think I'll save you the trouble" I laugh and close the curtain
*
"You sure you don't need help in there?" He asks after I fell twice trying to get these damn holy leggings off

I groan blowing a strand of hair off my face and holding onto the wall "no I've got it" I say determined not to loose to this stupid garment

After finally pulling them off I take the next outfit, a pair of high waisted black jeans, cut at the knees and a black long sleeve crop-top not quit coming down to the hem of the jeans, it shows off my toned stomach, my belly button covered by the jeans. I grab two of the necklaces Jordan grabbed, ones just a black choker and the other a long silver necklace with a spike hanging over my breasts, the neckline is cut at a curve, the sleeves off my shoulder slightly, the shirt is tight along with the jeans but at least more skin is covered

"Ok I like this one better" I call out to Vincent

When he doesn't respond I look out of the curtains but he's no where to be seen, where did he go? I step out a little further but I still don't see him.

I see someone across from me come out of the dressing room and I look over to see its Vincent hanging up his phone. He spots me and smirks "I like that one" he says walking over to me and looking me up and down

"Who were you talking to?" I ask

"That friend I was telling you about, he got us tickets for tonight's show and lucky for us the bands in town" he says and I smile

"Will you just tell me who it is, it's not like I'll know who they are" I tell him honestly, I don't keep up with my rock or punk groups

He sighs rolling his eyes as I bat my eyelashes at him "ok they're called 'Burn the Maps' "

"Burn the Maps" I repeat "nope never heard of them" I tell him

He wraps his arms around my waist, having to bend down a considerable amount "well I've heard a couple of there songs and I think...well hope you'll like them"

I smile wrapping my arms around his neck "I'm sure I will, it'll be new, you sure do know how to make a girl try new things" I tell him and a devilish smirk lifts his lip

I roll my eyes knowing his brain went somewhere dirty "oh stop" I giggle

"Fine, now can we please talk about this outfit" he says leaning back, still with me in his arms as he looks me over "damn" he says making my cheeks turn a shade pinker

"You like?" I ask slipping out of his arms and twirling around

"Hell yeah, I mean did you see your ass?" He ask reaching behind me and squeezing it, I yelp and giggle swatting him away

Before I walk back into the makeshift dressing room Jordan walks back over and smiles "damn you look hot, is that the look we were looking for" she asks smirking between me and Vincent

"Definitely" Vincent winks at me and I shake my head laughing "we'll take it"

I go back and undress, Jordan takes the clothes and rings them up, I secretly slipped her my card and she took it and promised she wouldn't let him pay, which she kept true to that even though Vincent scolded both of us we just laughed, She brought them back to me so I can wear them out even though Vincent told me I could change in the car which me and Jordan both rolled our eyes at.

After I get dressed back in the new clothes we walk out and I carry my other clothes, me and Vincent start back to his car "wait!" I say stopping in the middle of the busy traffic of people

Vincent's stops and grabs my arms "what?" He ask looking around

"What about you! I'm wearing all this-"

"Don't worry my outfits in the car" he says

"Is that so?" I ask raising an eyebrow at him and he nods

I shake my head as we walk out to the parking lot, our hands still intertwined. Is this what being in a relationship feels like? The racing of your heart when you're near them, the automatic heat that flushes your body in there presents, the feeling of wholeness when you're around them or the smile that falls upon your lips at a single glance from them? I know this is wrong, I know that deep down this is almost as low as what Theo does but I don't want to stop, Vincent makes me feel happy Theo just makes me feel empty. I shake away my thoughts, refusing to think more on this and just enjoy it while it lasts.

When we get in his car I slide in and put my clothes in the back, he gets in and quickly starts up the car "where's this so called outfit of yours?" I ask buckling my seatbelt and looking at him

He smiles but doesn't answer, he takes off his leather jacket and lays it over his jeans, he then, to my surprise, starts to unbutton his shirt "what are you doing?" I ask staring wide eyed at him

"Changing into my outfit" he says unbuttoning the last button on his shirt and pulling it off his shoulders and arms

I'm to dumbfounded to speak, I mean I knew his body would be well built but what I'm looking at right now would be on the verge of Godly. I try to pull my eyes from his chest but it's practically impossible, I swear he looks photoshopped, he stretches back in the back seat and grabs a black T-shirt. His muscles tighten and contract, his tanned skin showing the indention of his abs. Just above his jeans is the defined V muscle that disappear underneath he material of his jeans that, at this moment, I wouldn't mind being off either.

His god like chest is soon covered by the t-shirt and the leather jacket "done" he says

"You can't be serious" I say

"What you don't like it?" He asks staring at me

"That's your outfit? So not fair" I groan, I have to wear all of this to fit in and all he has to do is throw on a t-shirt

"You know you love it" he chuckles pulling out of the parking space

The bright lights of other headlights pass through us in the dark as we get on the busier road.

"So this friend of yours..?" I trail off

"I met him back in college, we were both studying in business, he was supposed to take over his fathers business just like the rest of us" he rolls his eyes "but he broke away and started a record label and now he's just as successful if not more than his father's company" he says

I hum in answer "do...do you wish you broke away?" I ask, did he always want to take over his father's business? Was he forced into it and never had a chance to do what he really wanted to do?

He takes a minute to reply "I don't really know actually" he answers his eyes focused on the road while I study him, still trying to figure out the confusing man in front of me that I'm itching to know more about "I mean I guess I'm fine with this, I enjoy my job and I'm good at it...I can't really imagine doing anything else" he shrugs

I nod even though he isn't looking at me "I always saw myself becoming a famous Musician or a publisher for books...but when you get married at 17 it's hard to find time to do what you want" I say looking out the window, the window is damp from the frost of outside and I see my reflection, I see my eyes, the blue in them having a small glint to them, I've noticed this little glint whenever I'm with him

"You could still do those things" he says quietly looking over at me, I laugh and shake my head but I don't answer "I'm serious" he says "you're young, you have your whole life in front of you" he tells me

"I know where my life is going" I sigh "and it looks an awful like my parents, except for the fact I refuse to chase Theo like my mother does my father" I say drawing a heart on the cold window with my finger

He stays silent for a moments and I look over to the handsome driver, he runs a hand through his dark hair, his lips pulled up on one side in a confused way and he shakes his head "One day I'll figure you out" he says, I know he wants to know more but I don't know if I'm ready to spill my guts to him...I will be soon

"Hopefully I'll figure you out one day too" I say

He smirks at me "we'll see" he says and I nod

We drive a little longer, passing cars blur past us along with rows of trees "where is this concert?" I ask hoping it's not outside, from the dark clouds covering the starry blue sky I have a feeling we'll either get rained on or freeze to death

"At some club on the edge of town, we're almost there don't give up on me yet" he says reaching over and placing his large hand on my thigh, even with the material covering my skin I still feel his warmth and chill bumps cover my skin

My cheeks burn "wouldn't dream of it" I whisper to myself

He draws random patterns on my jeans and when he gets higher I reach for his hand and hold it securely at my thigh scolding him while he laughs. I love his laugh, it's so carefree, I know the first time I met him he hardly smiled but now he's laughing and telling me things.I know it's hard for him to open up, I know the feeling, but I hope he feels as safe as I do when I talk to him.

We pull into a bar scene, people sitting on there trucks and cars, some making out against them. It's definitely different I tell myself. Around the bar is more small buildings and a gas station at the corner, I swear Vincent brings me places I didn't even know existed in this city.

He pulls up beside a couple who are pressed up against there car, making out like if they stop to breath they'll die. The girl has a similar outfit to what Jordan was wearing, her hair is black as ravens feathers and the boy has spicks as hair. I swear if I touched it I'd bleed. I bet he used more hair spray and gel than my mom and dad together. I must look pretty bewildered because Vincent stares at me and laughs "You wanted different" he says through laughs and I nod

"This is different" I tell him while he climbs out

He opens my door and I climb out trying to squeeze by Vincent and the car considering the couple beside us are to busy kissing to move. Vincent leads me by the small of my back and I take a deep breath, just before we cross the road a truck comes speeding down the parking lot and a guy standing in the back does a back flip off of it. I gasp when he lands successfully on his feet, what the hell did I get myself into?

Vincent claps his hands together and laughs with the rest of the crowd that's gathered. I stare at him, so just something else odd to add to my list of things that don't make since about Vincent King.

"So are you ready?" He asks as we look up at the bar

"I think so" I laugh looking over at him hoping this night won't crash and burn
