"October's Horror"

Chapter Ten

October smiled as she unloaded yet another bag of candy into their large bucket. This was in fact the only Halloween that she had ever been so excited about. Grabbing another snicker bar she smiled. Her diet was over. Myracle had attended the last pool party of the season at the play boy bunny home and said that she was done with dieting. Halloween had just had its perfect timing. Eating the bar she turned to the door that had just opened. Looking at Kristian she nearly spit out her food. She laughed hard and his smirk grew every minute. Of course he couldn’t resist laughing either.

“Kristian I was kidding about the peter pan thing. I thought you were going to be a cop as your costume?” October asked holding in her laughter in order to be able to speak and breath.

“Well, I didn’t want Tinker Bell to be with out a Peter Pan.” He said sweetly. October shook her head and put down her snicker bar. She walked slowly to Kristian shaking her head at his outfit. Reaching him she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him close to her body. “I’d dress as peter pan everyday for a hug like this. Is there an occasion?”

“Technically this is out first date. We really did no dating while everything was figured out with Gaby. Everything is finally set and all we’re waiting for is the court date to come. So now we can date in peace with out anything mentally taking over. Besides… How many times does a guy dress as peter pan for his girlfriend? You’re even wearing tights.” October smiled wide and proud. She had a great man in her arms.

Suddenly the door bell sounded and October smiled. She grabbed her wand and the bowl of candies and walked to the door. “Trick or treaters so early!” She opened the door to three kids and a parent. One of them wore a mask that resembled Frankenstein, the other seemed to be the angel of death but the last was a small little girl. She was dressed as a fairy. “Look Kristian!” October said excited.

“You all look great.” She told the children “I especially love your outfit” she said to the small girl as she loaded her bag with candy.

“I’m a fairy. Are you a fairy also?” the small child asked.

October looked down at her sparkly outfit and looked back at her wings. Nodding her head she told the girl “Why yes I am. This here is my peter pan.” October pointed at Kristian and Kristian nodded his head.

The little girl simply said “Wow…” and moved on with the rest of the crew. The children had just started coming. Smiling and shaking her head more she closed her door hoping it wouldn’t be long till the next one.

“You are very excited.” Kristian said to her smiling. He fiddled a little with the bowl in her hand then took it from her and placed it on the table.

“This is just all so fun. I can’t believe I’m spending Halloween with you.” October laughed “It’s funny because I have always completely hated the month of October. I hated everything about it. I think now the month of October has become my confused month. See I met this wonderful guy in this month… But so much more happened that it could be labeled as a very bad month.”

“How do you know I’m so wonderful?” he said stepping closer to her and pinning her against the wall. “How do you know that the rightful name of this month shouldn’t be… October’s Horror?”

“Because…” she paused. “If this...” she kissed his lips softly. “Is horror… Well then scare me till I turn white. I think I’m addicted.” For a second they each stared at each other until there was a sound of the doorbell. October smiled and pointed at the bowl of candies.

“You know what I noticed? You do a whole lot of pointing.” He said shaking his head and retrieving the bowl of candy.

****************************************

The very next morning Kristian’s eyes popped open at the feel of October turning over in his lap. Looking down her head still rested in his lap and the rest of her body sprawled out on the couch. Rubbing his eyes he groaned and checked the time. It was ten. Looking down at October she stared up at him with one eye open. Her beautiful green eye staring at him. He smiled and just then October turned over and reached for something on the floor. Turning back to him both her eyes were open and she was smiling. She raised her hand to his face and said “Dare ya to eat one more tootsie roll.” She whispered.

Shaking his head he hit her hand away with the tootsie roll and said “No... No more candy!” he said to her laughing. October sat up and moved closer to him resting her head now on his shoulder.

“You know…” she said “I don’t usually let a guy stay over on the first date but it just seems that you like sleeping here very much. It’s hard to get rid of you, you know?” she said smiling.

“You aren’t getting rid of me I’ll tell you that now. Might as well just move in because October you are stuck with me.” He said smiling down at her discarding what ever care he had for morning breath.

“Talk about October’s Horror…” with those words October reached for his lips meeting them with hers. Savoring his taste and hoping to live a lifetime with it.
