PARANORMAL ROMANCE: The New Couple in Town: Don’t Let Them In

by Natalia Napoli

  Elizabeth says in a hushed town, “I thought you said you practice sex magic. Can’t you see if someone new comes to town that I would want to know that they aren’t going to disturb the peace and the strong relationships this town is built on?” Katerina says, “we only want to strengthen those relationships. We are not swingers, is that what you thought?” Elizabeth says, “you very different than people here. You dress different, you’re always kissing and hugging everyone. It really did come off that way.” Katerina shakes her head, “no we only want people to be happy and playful, we aren’t trying to control anyone or cause any harm.”

  The restaurant is now all looking at them. Katerina says, “now we look like bad people. We are not bad people and we would never want to hurt anyone. You judged us because you were afraid of something you didn’t understand.” Elizabeth says, “I’m sorry. This is a very small town and everyone hears everything. We don’t get exposed to much outside of Montana and I think we all jumped to conclusions. I feel bad.” Katerina says, “listen we may look different and be more physically expressive. We decorate different and use our time different. We are full of love and passion for the world. We are good people.” Elizabeth says, “I sincerely apologize for misjudging you. I thought you were a witch! I mean a black cat was crossing the road and the horse, the storm, the flood and I just got spooked.”

  Vlad starts to laugh, “you guys this is pretty funny. We have to be able to laugh at ourselves. When cultures try to mesh together, there is always misunderstandings and judgments. If I really knew how to use black magic Elizabeth, don’t you think I would have used it to buy a mansion?” He laughs and eats his pancakes. Elizabeth is embarassed and the people in the restaurant look at her and shake their heads. She takes the stack of newspapers and throws them in the trash. “Nobody reads that anyway. Don’t worry, your reputation will not be ruined.”

  Vlad crosses his arms and says, “you know I think there is another lesson in this for us at least. We cannot let what anyone thinks of us to ruin our day. I am all about bringing happiness from within right so if someone thinks you’re a bad person and you know you’re not, you can’t let it get you down.” He smiles and says, “don’t you see, even if no one understands you, you can always choose whether or not to be happy.” He says, “people can project many things onto you that aren’t true and if you believe them, then your emotions will change based on what people think and in this case, what they are afraid of.”

  Elizabeth’s eyes fill with tears. “I never thought of things that way. From now on I will be careful before I speak or think negatively of other people when I don’t know them. I jumped to conclusions and I’ll admit I can be a bit of a drama queen.” Katerina says, “listen I can see how we could be confusing to people who don’t know us and I see that you were only trying to protect the town. I forgive you.” Katerina gives her a hug.

  Elizabeth says, “I will make this up to you. Please let me cook you both a delicious dinner?” Vlad says, “that sounds delightful!” Katerina claps her hands, “ok we would love that!” Elizabeth and her husband exchange landline numbers with them and leave to go to work. Katerina looks at Vlad and says, “I think we got away with it. We can still practice our black magic here!” They laugh until they are crying. They smile and lean forward giving each other a kiss. Katerina says, “let’s put on a performance for the town for free to counteract this negative article, what do you think?” He says, “that’s a marvelous idea!”

  They put together a show that portrays two magicians moving to town and scaring all the people. They rehearse and really put their heart into it. They make a flyer and put it around town for the next evening. They spend the whole two days rehearsing and hope people come. They hope the community will understand the humour. The night of the show they go to set up the stage of a local theatre that allowed them to use the space. They close the curtains and soon start to hear people showing up. Katerina peeks out of the curtain and realizes the whole town has practically showed up.

  The couple performs flawlessly. Most people in the town have never seen the physical feats they are able to perform. The crowd gasps and claps and cheers as they move from apparatus to apparatus. The couple earns the town’s respect for their craft which is certainly not black magic. They get a standing ovation and Katerina and Vlad have huge smiles on their face when they take their final bow.

  They make an announcement that they would be happy to train anyone who wants to get healthy and overcome their fears. The crowd approaches them with questions, excited that they to could one day learn these impressive skills. Elizabeth smiles at Katerina from the corner who winks at her. It seems they have fixed their reputation and the article that once gave Katerina a sinking feeling in their stomach is now just a blip on the radar. She hugs Vlad and says, “what do you say we light the candles at home and have a romantic evening with just the two of us?” He says, “oh wow, now that sounds incredible!” He picks her up and carries her over his shoulder through the crowd. She kicks and yells, “no no, don’t take me.” Everyone laughs.

  They get home and sit around an altar on the floor. She burns sage and asks for the spirit world to help her stay humble. She asks for the spirit world to help her bring joy to this town she has entered and she asks for the energy to get people to move and be playful. She opens her eyes and feels a calmness come over her. Sitting in front of her is her partner, his eyes are closed and he is somewhere else, deep in meditation. She watches him, filled with love.

  Vlad asks the universe to send the town healing and love. He pictures the town surrounded in white light, healing the pains and emotional wounds in the hearts of the people. He asks the universe to bless the people in the town and open their hearts. He opens his eyes and says, “the town was only half wrong. You are a witch, but you’re a white witch and I guess that makes me a wizard.” He smiles and says, “let’s make some magic.” She looks at him and takes off her shirt. She has a huge scar across her chest and stomach. She says, “you can’t appreciate a rose without loving the thorn.”

  He smiles and says, “my love, your mind is so strong because you have been through so much. You are so loving because you know how it feels not to be loved. You are so pure and open hearted because you know the sorrow of feeling closed off to the world. What else are we here for other than to help people with these things? How can we bring more love and open heartedness to others? By being true and authentic, showing them how to think positively and love their bodies, to think for themselves and to be bold in their choices of how to spend their life on this planet.”

  She leans forward and kisses him. She says, “that is why I’m with you. Because you are brilliant and magic.” He says, “well..” He pulls her on top of his large body and holds her closely. He kisses her passionately. They feel their energy building as she starts to wrap her arms around him. He takes her pants down and she is now naked on him. She takes his pants off leaving them both bare, soul to soul. She says, “my soul honors yours.” He kisses her hands and places his hand on her heart saying, “I’m blessed to have you in my life.”

  She feels his cock harden and moves down so he can move inside of her. They start slow, just warming up. Their sex is like an aerobic workout as they both have the stamina of horses. They are very acrobatic and like to play. He places one of her legs on her shoulder and says, “I could spend the rest of my life with you.” She says, “so do.” He says, “I plan on it.” They sit up and she sits on him. Their hearts connect and they feel their energy fields connect. They are now sharing the same feelings and feel open and complete.

  Vlad learns her back and holds her back. He moves with intention and love, wanting her to feel good. They are equally giving and receiving. They final reach the limits of their bodies and expand, releasing and flying and soaring above their bodies. They come down to earth and get into the hot tub to rest their sore bodies. Katerina says, “we can do a lot of good for this town for the time we are here.” He says, “that’s
what gypsies are all about.” We bring our magic and when our job is done, we move on.” She smiles and looks up at the moon and the stars and says, “may our journey be blessed and our intention pure. Mother earth and father sky, hear us. We want to help this town, show us the way.” Vlad says, “keep our egos from coming in the way of our work. Help us share from a place of compassion and kindness.” The two beautiful people rest their heads on each other and feel an overwhelming sense of contentment.

  Dormitory Escapades: College Adventures

  Chapter 1: The First Day of College

  Tires crunch over gravel as the Volkswagen GTI pulls to an abrupt halt in front of a sign that says ‘registrar temporary parking only’. Katie let’s out a sigh of relief as she turns off the car. She looks around at the young people carrying dry erase boards, cleaning supplies, trash cans and rolling suitcases, looking somewhat awkward and nervous. She immediately senses that some of the people are more confident in this new jungle of college than others. She takes in a deep breath and closes her eyes, you got this! She tells herself.

  After driving 14 hours to get to Raleigh Durham from Washington D.C., she’s stiff and in a daze. Just then a tall guy wearing a tank top and sporting some very defined biceps, walks in front of her car and snaps her back to reality. The University of North Carolina is known for having top athletes and suddenly a rush of excitement shoots through her spine. Well this could be fun. She thinks to herself. She opens the door and the smell of brake dust wafts into the car, the sign of a long car ride. She knows she’s far away from home, far away from rules and for the first time, she can do whatever she wants. The freedom is intoxicating.

  Katie looks into the mirror to see if she looks disheveled. Her two blonde braids are slightly messy and her baby blue string tank top shows off her belly and her summer tan against her stylish high waisted white shorts. She looks elegant and cute. Good choice on the outfit, she thinks to herself. Being a dancer, she has a thin build and great muscle tone. She looks sweet but also her build let’s people know she’s powerful and has it together.

  As she goes into the hatchback to get her backpack, she realizes she doesn’t even know what building she’s looking for. She laughs as this is all so new and exciting. Suddenly a football flies over her head and two big linebackers start talking smack to each other in the parking lot in a playful way. There is a lightness to the air and these athletes seem to be in no short supply. The taller of the two guys looks at her and winks. Katie looks him right in the eye and gives him a smirk.

  Katie thinks to herself, I need a smart guy, not a jock. She swings her backpack over her shoulders and pulls up the welcome letter on her iphone to see where she’s supposed to check in.

  Katie finds her way to the correct dormitory and is impressed by how clean and new the campus is. She envisioned old buildings like something she had seen on a movie but this campus is very modern and well kept. She feels a sense of pride that she was able to get into such a tough school. Arriving at her dormitory, she checks in and gets her welcome packet. As she slips her key into her door, a voice behind her says, “hey, welcome to UNC.” We are having a kickoff party at Mutt’s tonight at 7, it would be a shame if you miss it. It’s a great place to meet new people that are cool and normal.” He laughs as he tosses her a water bottle. “And here, you’ll need this to get you through the day.”

  She catches it clumsily and says, “uh thanks.” He looks her up and down and says, “I’m Drew by the way. See you later.” With that he turns and walks down the hall and yells, “Steve get your bitch ass up we gotta go get the keg you loser.” Impressive, Katie thinks to herself and shakes her head in condemnation of the guy next door. He is pretty cute though. Drew’s hazel green eyes and smooth caramel skin make him look like the cover of some yoga magazine cover. Katie considers going to the party that night but hates the idea of showing up somewhere alone.

  As she unpacks her stuff and takes a few trips to and from her car, she starts to get hungry. She goes back to her new dorm room and sits on her seriously small twin size bed. She looks at the campus map she received at check-in to see where the cafeteria is. The door bursts open. Enter, Shila. Shila smells of geranium and palo santo and has one long feather earring. She has a canvas bag, a sheepskin and a leather pouch around her neck. She puts her hands together in front of her chest and says, “blessings dear one.”

  Katie smiles at the entrance Shila just made and since she had previously connected with her on Facebook, she expected her to be somewhat of a character. Katie get’s up and gives her a hug and notices half of Shila’s head is shaved like a warrior princess. She has a nose ring and a sleeve of tattoos with some indecipherable hieroglyphics and weird creatures. She’s like a walking piece of art with one dreadlock wrapped around her bun. Katie’s simple look is almost funny compared to this bohemian. Katie, being the friendly, down to earth person she is, looks past their different styles and invites her to the cafeteria with her.

  As the odd couple walks into the mess hall, Drew is in the corner with a few just as hot dudes. They already have their food and Drew motions to Katie to sit with them once they get their food. Katie feels a twinge of attraction toward Drew or some sort of familiar comfortability because of his openness. Shila whispers, “who are they? They’re hot!” Katie responds, “Well one of them lives next to us. He invited me to some house later if you want to go.”

  The girls grab some food and sit down next to the guys. Drew introduces his friends, “these are my roommates Don and Jared.” Katie says, “this is Shila. We have our own room. Do you guys have a suite?” Drew replies, “yup, which is why we are pregaming at our place tonight and you guys should come at 5.” Shila chews on her carrot nonchalantly staring at Don who has a hipster vibe with his sweater and skinny jeans. There is palpable tension at the table and everyone is secretly looking forward to the evening.

  Jared chimes in, “do you guys know your class schedule?” Shila responds, “I’m taking all electives this semester. I’m an art major so I’m basically going to be finger painting for 4 years.” Jared says, “oh that sounds a lot more fun than economics. Shit maybe I should change majors.” Katie laughs as she st
eals a glance at Drew. They lock eyes for a moment and he smiles.

  The girls return to the dormitory and finish setting up their new little home away from home. They try on different outfits to get ready for the night. Shila pulls out a little flask of tequila and a single serving bottle of orange juice. “Tequila sunrise?” She offers. Katie laughs as they pour two cocktails and have some roommate bonding time, finally relaxing after a day of heavy lifting. A knock on the door alerts them and Katie says, “come in.” Drew opens the door with a shit eating grin wearing pajama pants and a beaded necklace with a blinking sign that says, ‘stud.’

  Katie laughs and says, “nice necklace.” He says, “oh this old thing? It’s practically a family heirloom. I just wanted to tell you we will be ready in three and a half minutes so don’t forget to come over.” He salutes and turns on his heel as he exits.
