Selling your soul? No, just a pint or two.. (closed)

I miss the good old days when I could just go out to some random bar or cabin, hell! pick up a hitchhiker along the way and have my evening meal. It sure as hell made life much easier than it is today. With all the social networking and media and ridiculous movies out there, being immortal has become somewhat of an annoyance. To put it mildly. Factor in that ninety percent of the world is doped on something or other for their real or imagined illnesses? Feeding has become a fucking nightmare. Have you seen a virgin lately? Other than children! I draw the line there, all immortals do. No children, they are friends.. not food. (yes we watch lame cartoons too)
So, I have had to become a bit of a recluse, as moving around is not as easy as it once were. Not like the pre-1900's, when we could pick up and move anywhere and be unknown, and most often accepted at face value. The last time I even attempted to scare someone, all I got were giggles and a "nice costume, lady!" Now, the world is too nosey, too documented, too numb.. Too everything. Drugged, bitchy, impatient. I could go on about it, but then I would begin to sound like a millennial, wouldn't I? This is where the knowledge of age and money come in as most handy to possess.
Using my 'illness' as means to an end, and my money to buy the private care of one Dr. Nolan, I am able to screen would be 'donors'. With all the documentation online at one's fingertips, again with the money, social media. And how most put everything out there for one such as I to find, we have a list of candidates who would need of me as much, if not more than I. After reading through medical records of those men with pictures included, I came across HIM. Now I normally avoid humans altogether, with blood banks worldwide, I have not been in the company of more than Dr. Nolan for quite some time. Let's not mention that they die on you much too soon, as life has taught me far too many times. However, this man has captured more than just my need for his rare blood type.
His head shot is professionally done, judging by the suit one can see he is wearing but it is that smile of his that draws my eyes. The laugh lines at the corner of each blue eye show much of his character, as does the way in which he stands. Formidable, or an illusion of the lens? He has grey at the temples but most of his hair is dark, nearly black. Well built, married and successful, or so it said as of several years ago. I had to see for my self. Was this man real? And if so, how could I get him here?
My questions were answered a week later, as I had him watched. A little creepy, yes I know. I am afforded eccentrics, after all? Who would deny me and live? Regardless, I stood behind him as he worked to unload his cart to the little conveyor belt. He turned in line to grab the last few small vegetables from his cart when our eyes met. Now, I do not know about Satan or God, but I swear by something unearthly that his smile in person had such an impact on me that had I not been gripping the cart's bar, I may have literally melted to my feet! Weak in the knees and the hot knife of desire that lanced through me with such a simple gesture as his smile? MY GOD!
I felt weak, shaken and hot all over. That is saying something for a generally cold woman. He did not flirt nor give me a once over and most anyone else could have or would have done. No, he simply smiled my way and said, "Hello." before returning to the clerk with the last few items. Mutely I stood there, waiting to buy.. No idea what I had tossed into the cart, without a damned word in response. Not trusting myself to speak nor my legs to move, I had to suffer standing there to purchase some tortilla chips and a random bag of cookies. Things in my large cart he took notice of, but was kind enough not to judge nor remark upon. If he thought me strange, it is lucky that he could not read my thoughts! I watched him go, without a single greeting or even a flirty come back, my eyes lingering on his broad back until he were no longer in sight.
I knew he was married. I knew she was ill and that money was growing increasingly tight in their battle to make her comfortable until the end. There was no cure for her, and that was the trickiest part of it all. Torn between decency and desire, I had to ask myself many, many nights, what is the moral thing to do? Yet day after day, that smile haunted my attempts to sleep. Kept me company while I avoided the sun's rays and paced the old estate like a caged lioness. In the end my desire for his smile, his company won out in the moral debate. I had to have him, if only as a dinner guest once a week.
I sent my lawyer to make contact with him at his place of business. Not at home and not around his wife, as someone may talk sense into the man before I have my chance to convince him to accept my offering. A letter of introduction was sent, explaining my needs and why I contacted him for it. That if he would accept the financial arrangement, to send an answer via email for the date and address of my home. Now that I had made my offer and was willing to meet his financial terms, the ball was in his court and the wait was becoming agony as the hours begun to trickle by since he received the package.
