6 November 1943

"Freyja! Wake up!" A loud voice made Freyja open rapidly her eyes and look at the brown pair in front of her.

"Good morning Bella."

"Happy early Birthday."

"What?"

"Happy birthday!"

"My birthday is tomorrow."

"That's why I said 'early'. I will not be here tomorrow, so I thought to give you your present today. Come on, get up."

Freyja furrowed her eyebrows and sit in her bed with her back to the bedframe. Bella passed her a book wrapped in brown paper. Freyja quickly ripped the paper and read the title.

"Sense and sensibility..."

"I noticed you liked 'pride and prejudice' so I got you another book from the author."

"Thank you very much. You didn't have to, though."

"Oh, shut up, of course, I had! Also, an owl is waiting in the window. I believe it's from your mother."

Freyja left her warm bed and moved towards the big and only window of the room. Her mother's big owl was standing on the edge, holding a letter and big, black box. Freyja took both of the things and sat on her bed, next to Bella.

My dear daughter,

You know I always like to send you my letter on your birthday eve. Happy 18th birthday. You are finally an adult. I am really proud of you and all the things you accomplished in those 18 years. You are a very strong girl, well woman, and I am extremely happy that you were able to go through all the bad things that happened to you. I have to admit, I am quite sad my little girl is not a girl anymore. I am so sorry that we cannot spend your birthday together, but I wish you to have a fun day with your friends and Tom.

Remember darling, you deserve the world!

Many kisses,

Lilith Esmeralda O'Lone.

Ps. I hope you like your present!

Freyja read the letter and then folded it and put it in her trunk. She always keeps her mother's mail. Freyja untied the red ribbon that was keeping the box closed and opened the black box. She came across a green, stunning, silk dress and a beautiful pair of black heels.

Both Freyja and Bella were stunned by the present. Freyja had a huge love for dresses and her mother knew it. Freyja folded the dress again and put it back in the box. After she closed it, she pushed it under the bed. She was going to wear it tonight. She and Tom had a date. At the usual place, at the usual time.

Astronomy tower, midnight.

Tom was waiting for Freyja. She was a little late, but he didn't mind. He was wearing a black, silk button-up shirt, matching his pants. His hair was styled back with gel. It was obvious that he was styled by Abraxas tonight. He was holding a rose and a small, red box. Roses were her favourites. Last year, he got her a box of chocolates. This year, he wanted it to be something more personal.

He wanted to make a romantic atmosphere. He lit some candles and made some instruments play themselves. He was nervous. He did not know if Freyja would like the present.

Speaking of the devil, she arrived, late as usual. But, holy hell. Tom was speechless. The dress was beautifully hugging her figure, while the heels made her look taller. She was wearing her signature, dark red lipstick. Her black hair was tidied up in a tight bun and gold earrings were hanging from her ears.

"How do I look?"

"Bewitching."

Freyja smiled and walked towards tom.

"This is for you" Tom gave her the box nervously. Freyja unsealed the lid and her face light up when she saw a charming, silver necklace with a black heart in the middle. The heart was made from black, small diamonds.

"It is supposed to represent your dark soul" Freyja laughed. "I love it!" Tom took the necklace in his hands and wore it to Freyja's neck.

After that, Tom pulled out his hand. "Dance with me in the dark."

Freyja gave to Tom her right palm, and place her left hand on his shoulder, as he put his on her waist. They slowly started moving to the rhythm of the music. {I recommend listening to the song 'the vampire masquerade'}

They weren't just two bodies moving around. They were two souls, that became one, for those minutes. The enjoyment, the butterflies on their stomachs. They were reliving the first time they danced. Their souls, so beautifully harmonized, beating on the same rhythm.

They may seem to the world like two emotionless kids. But the way he looks at her... He looks at her like she is the only one. So beautifully wrapped in his arms, dancing to their love song.

For Freyja, dancing was the ultimate act of love. The way their bodies touch and scenes get mixed. She felt alive. When they danced, she felt like they were alone in the world, fallen in cupid's trap. Because true love is a trap you cannot easily get out of.

Once the song finished, they stopped moving. They were just gazing into each other's eyes. Their chest touching, going up and down swiftly, trying to catch up their breaths. Their fingers still tangled, their arms refusing to leave each other's bodies. The spectacle was beautiful. Oh, isn't it beautiful to be in love?

"Happy birthday, Freyja," Tom whispered, not intending to ruin the moment. He leaned in and kissed her red lips. Freyja placed her hand in his neck, deepening the kiss. Tom lowered his hand from her back to her ass, grabbing it slightly, making Freyja smile through the kiss.

"Thank you for the necklace. It is really gorgeous." Freyja said when they broke up the kiss, in need of oxygen.

"I would love to see you wearing nothing but it."

"Well, I can arrange that," Freyja smirked. "What about tonight?"

"I would be delighted!"

Tom opened his bedroom door, not bothering to turn the main light on. The only source of light was the fire, he had previously lit. Once he closed the door, he pressed his lips against hers. The kiss was passionate and full of lust. Tom's lips moved to her neck, sucking on her sweet spot. He made sure he left a big hickey. Freyja let her head fall back in enjoyment.

He let the straps of the dress fall, making the dress fall on the floor. Freyja took off her heels and Tom made sure the underwear was out, as well. He stood in front of her, admiring her naked body. As promised, the necklace was the only thing she was still wearing.

Freyja helped tom unbutton his shirt. Freyja let her hands trail down his torso, arriving at the beginning on his pants. She untied the belt and Tom took his pants off, staying in his boxers. Those were off, pretty quickly, too.

Freyja kneeled in front of him and... well... I will leave the rest in the imagination.
