My Lunar Tale (continuation)

I blinked after looking into her eyes seeing myself reflected in them. My hair had changed and so had my eyes. I asked myself how it was possible and just concluded that it was because I am not human. I finally was snapped out of my reverie by her laughter. "That's a strange name." She chortled and giggled as I just shrugged my shoulders and waited for her to calm down. If she thought that's a weird name she'll think my other name is even weirder. I didn't want to think anymore about it and just wanted to walk away and forget about her and also look for a decent hot meal before I died of starvation. I was already turning when she stopped me in her tracks with her voice full of irritation. "Are you going to just leave after introducing yourself?!" That's exactly what I am doing. "Maybe." She was obviously not pleased with my answer and huffed before replying. "Whatever, my guy is gonna be here to pick me up anyway." I shrugged my shoulders and started to walk off calling over my back "See ya then." Still, I couldn't bring myself to leave her alone and just opted to move around a corner and watch her secretly. After several minutes a young man drove up on a black Harley and helped her onto the back seat. They exchanged several kisses then drove off. Being ever curious I followed them from a distance moving from rooftop to rooftop with grace and agility. For reasons unknown to me at the time I felt a strange burning deep inside. I wondered what it could be and could not come up with any reason. Afterall a demon should not be able to feel anything unless he is being slain. Does that mean that I am dying? No, I would have disappeared into ashes by now. I erased the thought from my mind for the time being and continued to follow them until they stopped at a cafe. Using my keen sense of sight I watched them from my perch atop the roof of the building across from the cafe. The longer I watched the feeling in my chest intensified. Why am I so irritated just watching them?! It wasn't until much later that I found out that I had fallen in love and was absolutely jealous, but that is a tale I will tell later. They finally left the cafe and drove off. I did not follow them and just went on my way back to the frozen north where my mistress awaited my return and where I would be properly fed.
