I ran down the steps in my Victorian dress. Then jack kissed my cheek and handed me my bag. I kissed him on his lips and said "Happy Halloween baby."
He said "Happy Halloween to you to my love. I have a surprise for you."

He held out a box. I opened it up and inside was a pearl necklace. I gasp and with awe I said "they're beautiful." He giggled and said "they should be. Their real and very old" if they're real that means they're over 100 dollars and they are old and in perfect condition like these, it means $1,000 or more. I said "I can't accept these. That's too much money." He said "It's been in my family for hundreds of years and now I want to give it to someone I love and can't imagine living with out. Please, I want you to have it."

I kissed him passionately but I wanted more I wanted it all. That's why I rented a hotel room for tonight. I loved him so much. I also couldn't live without him. We were soul mates. For some reason he kept putting it off. Hopefully tonight would be our first time.


We started dating when we were 12 and now were 17. We've been together for 4 and half years. I love him so much and he's such a gentleman.

As we were walking out the door I said "where did you get your costume? It looks like it actually came from the Victorian time period." He laughed and said "that's because it did." I laughed with him.

I know what you're thinking. We're too old to be trick-r-treating but I don't care. I've always gone on Halloween and I don't see the point in not going. I love spending time with jack; dressing up and getting free candy is a bonus.

We went to the houses on my street then continued to others. Now we had a bag full of candy so jack asked "do you want to head home? it's getting late." I said "one more street honey. I also have a surprise for you" he said "ok, sweet heart. Do you want me to carry your bag? It looks heavy." Without waiting for a response he took my bag.

I lead him to the hotel and he looked confused then understanding. I didn't understand because a moment later he looked worried. I opened the door and walked in. he followed me but he looked uncertain, like at any moment a monster was going to jump out and eat him.

I sat on the bed. He put our candy bags on the floor and sat next to me. I said "you don't want to do you" it was a statement not a question. I felt hurt and betrayed. I was thinking- he didn't love me. Almost 5 years with me and he didn't love me. He's told me he loved me over and over again. Was it all an act? Why? Was he hiding something? I wanted, no needed answers.

I was trying so hard not to cry but I couldn't stop a few tear from sliding down my face. I looked up at Jack and he looked like he was deciding something. He was torn between something but I didn't know what. He sighed and whispered passionately "I DO want to. I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you but...but I don't want to trap you." What? I was confused. I said "explain."

That second he was on top of me and kissing me so fiercely with longing. I was afraid. He was kissing me like it would be our last kiss. Would what he say ever make me not want to be with him? Or maybe he had changed his mind and wanted me too.


I took his jacket off and then started undoing the buttons on his shirt. I needed air so I detached from his kiss but he just kissed down my neck. I was breathing hard but managed to gasp "so you... changed...your mind" a single tear slid down his face and hit me. he adjusted himself directly overtop me and rested his forehead against mine. his eyes searched mine then closed. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever.

He broke the silence. In a whisper he said "if I asked you to marry me right here, right now...would you do it?" without hesitation I said "yes" he kissed me then said "good because if we make love you will be bonded to me for eternity. Love, I'm a three thousand year old dragon. My birth name is Shen and I am a shape shifter. The necklace I gave you I made my self in the Ming dynasty. O, um...a few thousand year ago. And ...and....and" he put his head down and hid it in the side of my neck. He said "I'm still me. I will always love you. Even if you don't want to be bonded to me...we can work something out. just please don't leave me."
