Interview With A Vampire AU Part 2

It has been a year since Lily first met Lastat and they are both a fixture in the others life now. Lily wasn't really thinking about that now, as Lestat told her that he had a surprise for her after work. So she had hurried home to change her dress.

When Lestat came she was ready a washed face and hands, and was wearing one of the dresses he had bought for her. Instead of the slums she had been living in, she now was in a small apartment in the working class part of town. People still whispered about her and the man who was there every night but she did not let it bother her. Yes, Lestat probably has a far more willing lover and was just making a joke out of society by elevating her. But Lily would make sure to learn as much as possible in order to help the kids she taught and their families.

Lestat's smile was softly fond and he extended his hand for her, "Mon Chere." After the bow and hand kiss he always gave he motioned down the hallway, "Shall we go." She nodded and took his arm, wondering what this night would hold.

Lestat had brought a carriage and took her to the best restaurant in the city before going to one of the best theatres that was doing her favorite play. The two of them had a private box and she watched in wonder as the characters came alive on stage. It seemed that Lestat had an answer to every question she had and Lily was relaxed when Lestat handed her into the carriage.

There was pleasant conversation until the carriage stopped at a park and Lestat got down. Lily looked at him as he extended his hand for her, "Are you ready for your surprise Mon Chere?" Nodding once she put her hand into his and stepped down from the carriage.

It was the same park they had walked through the night the met and had picnics at many times. So she tucked her hand into his elbow and walked with him, "How do you feel about the new year?" He asked her seemingly out of nowhere.

Lily looked up at him, "There are days that if it weren't for the two at the end I would still think it was eighteen ten." Giving his arm a small squeeze, "But if it was, I would not have met you." Lestat's eyes had gotten a look she could not identify, but she knew better than to ask, "Lestat," he focused on her, "I meant that seeing and spending time with you is what I look forward to."

His smile was blinding, "I look forward to our time together as well Mon Chere." Brushing her cheek with his right hand, "You give meaning to my days and fill my dreams at night."

By this time they had reached a clearing that was filled with candle light at there was a picnic set out again. Lily let go of Lestat's arm and moved forward, "What is all of this?"

"Mon Chere," Lily turned to see Lestat framed by the darkness and trees, "you are everything that I want and need filling every part of my mind and soul." Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a small box, "Lily Johnson du Point, will you marry me?"

Tears filled her eyes but every part of him was sincere about this. Stepping forward to him, "Yes Lestat de Lioncourt, I will marry you."

Lestat's hands shook slightly as he slid the ring onto her finger and stood with her hands held in his, "Mi Amor." Over the picnic they talked about when and where they would marry, with the decision that three months was enough time to prepare for the small ceremony that they wanted. In the light of the candles and stars, Lily kissed her fiance's cheek. Which caused a pleased smile and laugh to break out of him.

Naps with cats are some of the best naps. Love it!
