So where is this Prince Charming? Scarlet asked.
The faint sound of a guitar wailing screeched from the Mansion.
Is that your boyfriend playing? Scarlet asked tentatively.
Nothats his friend.
I hope he kisses better than he plays, she teased.
The three of us laughed.
A figure was standing by the window. I knew Alexander would eventually wonder where Id gone.
Within a moment, Alexander and Sebastian were hanging out on the back steps.
Both girls mouths dropped when they saw the handsome pair.
Which is the available one? Onyx asked softly.
I dont carethey are both gorgeous, Scarlet declared. Ravenyou dont mind sharing, do you? she teased.
Onyx and Scarlet, this is my boyfriend, Alexander.
Wowyou are so lucky! Scarlet whispered to me. We should have been hanging out here instead of at the Coffin Club.
Alexander blushed and shook both of their hands.
Sebastian cleared his throat. He was frustrated he wasnt getting any attention.
And this is Sebastian, I said. As if on cue, both girls held their hands out to him. He took each one and tenderly kissed them. Each girl giggled.
I hope thats just a prelude of whats to come, Scarlet said.
The girls broke their gaze with Sebastian and he gave Alexander the thumbs-up sign.
Would you like something to drink? I asked.
Uh. Sure. I guess Ill have a soda.
No, we have the real thing, Sebastian said, pointing to the bottle on the table.
Transylvania 1972, Alexander said as Jameson came outside to assist us.
I heard that was a good year, Sebastian said.
Why dont you sit here, I encouraged Sebastian, deliberately placing him between the two girls.
Alexander stuck a corkscrew in the bottle and turned it slowly. He pried the cork and it easily slipped out.
Jameson began filling the goblets.
Its rare to find something authenticoutside the Coffin Club, Scarlet said. In a bottle, anyway.
We all laughed.
Well, you are in rare company, Sebastian flirted.
As Jameson continued to fill the goblets, Alexander poured me a soda and then himself one.
