Dave Miller paces the rooms of the vacant restaurant before returning to the security office.

He drops heavily into the swivel office chair, studying the screens carefully before he’s satisfied that nothing untoward has happened since he’d been distracted. Your visit had been brief, and he’d only been outside in the car with you for few moments; all he’d allowed himself before he’d dismissed you. The need still aches, the want leaving a itchy heat on his skin. He can still taste you, and it’s driving him mad. He hadn’t wanted to end things so abruptly, but he had felt his control slipping. Getting lost in you.

You hadn’t enjoyed your first trip to Freddy’s.

He’s disappointed, to say the least. He’d been hoping you’d be a little more curious, a touch more appreciative. He understands the pizzeria is dark and dusty, certainly not at its prime, but neither is he, yet you seem to appreciate what he offers.

His wandering gaze falls on the pair of plastic containers perched on the corner of the desk where you’d left them and he leans forward to collect them, cracking the lid of the topmost one to reveal the contents. Cookies. In a rather odd shape. Were they meant to be something? There’s a slip of paper folded inside the second, less filled container that he lifts free. Your letters are rounded, printed clearly. The polar opposite of his tortured, tight cursive.

I was trying to make rabbits from scratch because I don’t have any cookie cutters, and they came out looking awful, I know. I should have just made faces instead of trying to do the entire body. But hey, at least they taste good, and if nothing else, maybe you’ll get a chuckle out of them. Can’t wait to see you again.

His mouth twitches. Rabbits? They looked nothing even remotely like that animal. But the thought was there. You’d known he favors them. He breaks off a piece of what might have been an attempt at ears, twin splayed specimens dotted with…yes, they’re dark chocolate chips. His favorite. He tries a sample. You’d been right. They do taste good. He finishes the first cookie and reaches for another.

Dave’s craving a glass of cold milk to wash them down with now. He dusts the crumbs from his fingers and reseals the containers. The note gets refolded and tucked into his left shirt pocket, just below where the narrow brass tag bearing his name is pinned. Oddly sentimental of him, considering how much of his past he’s tossed away. The odd trinkets and mementos from his previous tenancy that keep popping up around the house, discovered as you clean and help him unpack and organize, irritate him to no end. He is done with that part of his past. Of sharing a space with people who did not care for him any more than he cared for them. He does not need reminders.

The pizzeria is so quiet without you here.

Normally he’d welcome the solitude, but it feels different now. He’s different now. Evolving again. You’re changing him. He’s not sure how he feels about that. Not certain why opening the locker to view the yellow rabbit suit doesn’t instill the same thrill as it usually does; why the handle of the knife he’s sharpening doesn’t sit quite as comfortably in his hand. He still wants to continue the project, the research, because if he doesn’t, what then was the point of it all? It had become his identity, his raison d’être. He must reach that goal, and yet, there is you now, an unexpected element thrown into the equation. Another possibility, tugging him in a different direction.

Somewhere along the line, the establishment he's hunkered down in had become more of a home than the residence he owned; complete strangers closer than his own family. Until recently. When returning to that house no longer meant being buried beneath layers of neglect and disregard. It is something he anticipates rather than dreads. His home is no longer an empty husk, withered and decaying. It is changing, too, now littered with possessions and memories that actually have meaning, populated with new life in the garden you’d planted with him. Vibrant and full.

All because of you.

***

“You can’t just come and go as you please at all hours of the night.”

You’re not surprised to see your landlord waiting when you depart the house for the second time that morning. Dave will be home soon. You’ve probably got just enough time to get the garden watered before he arrives, if you can get this lady off your back.

“Sorry. I was trying to be quiet.” You hesitate on the edge of the sidewalk, eager to be across the street.

“Well, you weren't. Not fair, waking me up over and over. Slamming your car door. Trudging up and down those steps like you’ve got army boots on. It ends now.”

Your eyes shift to the road, where you see your neighbor’s car approaching, your attention now completely focused on that caramel colored vintage sedan, the older woman’s words a background droning you disregard.

“Are you listening to me?”

“What? Oh, yes. I’ll try to be more quiet. I have to go,” you say hastily, hoping to end the discussion there.

“You don’t,” she snaps. “You don’t need to keep going to him.” The harsh scowl on her features softens. “You should listen to me before it’s too late.”

“Look, I appreciate your concern, but I’m fine. We’re fine. He’s not that other guy. He’s been good to me. And it’s really not even any of your business,” you add.

The woman remains silent, but her look speaks volumes. You’ve got that feeling again, that impression that you’re disappointing her. You know she means well, but she’s wrong.

You shake your head, stepping off the curb to finally end the conversation.

The security guard exits the car then, spinning the keys on the ring back and forth, clutching and releasing them while he waits for you.

The moment you step onto his property he moves towards you. You’re certain that nosy landlord is still watching; can practically feel her eyes digging into your spine, and you don’t particularly care.

“Alright, love? Is she giving you a hard time?” He glances across the street before his gaze locks back on your features.

“It’s fine. The usual litany she’s been spouting since day one. You’re not really Dave Miller. I should stop seeing you, before it’s too late. That sort of thing.”

“She has no right…” You feel his body begin to brush past yours and you halt him, planting your hands on his chest.

“Dave, no. Leave it. Just…I don’t want to waste time on that nonsense.”

His head tips down to regard you. “You’re right. How long do we have?”

“Two hours, give or take.”

“Time for a quick shower then. And a shave,” he adds, scrubbing along the shadowy spread of dark facial hair that’s crept up over the course of the morning.

“Yeah, of course. I’m gonna water and then I’ll come inside, okay?”

“Okay. I’ll unlock the back door for you.”

You nod, watching him disappear into the house before you follow the path beneath the pergola, assaulted as always by the wisteria’s fragrance before reaching the back yard. The plants seem to be doing well, recovering from the initial shock of transfer. You make sure every plot gets properly saturated before entering the house.

You can hear the shower running as you ascend the stairs. The door is open but you knock on it to announce your presence, saying Dave’s name.

His face suddenly emerges around the edge of the curtain. “Hey. I meant to tell you earlier. Thank you for the cookies. And the note. Speaking of which, I have to remember to remove that from my pocket before I drop that off at the dry cleaner’s. Remind me.”

You nod and lean against the counter, folding your arms across your chest as you wait for Dave to finish in the shower. He pokes his head out once more to tell you he’s almost finished, slicking back the dark hair plastered over his forehead, and you lean towards the handle of the toilet tank, threatening to send a deluge of water with an uncomfortable temperature.

His slate eyes flash. “Don’t you dare.”

“Or what?” You challenge, grinning.

He hums around a smirk, disappearing behind the curtain and liner and the spray of water ceases soon after. You hand him a bath towel when he emerges, watching the hasty drag to dry his damp body off before he wraps it around his waist, tucking the edges in to keep it in place.

You’re growing more impatient, and he’s clearly feeling the same way, the hasty swipes of the razor against his cheeks and jaw leaving behind more than one nick. He’s barely finished brushing his teeth before your bodies collide together, his mouth on yours.

“Been dying to do that,” he murmurs. “You look beautiful, as always. I hope there are no handsome gents in that office of yours. Some dashing physician looking for a chart or…”

“I already have a handsome gent.”

Another hum of pleasure before he steals another kiss, then his features grow solemn. “I know we’re pressed for time, but I wanted to talk to you about earlier, and what happened at my work. I know you didn’t enjoy visiting—” Your mouth opens to utter a protest but he quickly barrels on, “—and it probably felt like I was eager to be rid of you. I wasn’t. At all. Quite the opposite, in fact. You don’t understand the effect you have on me. How hard it is to stop once I start with you. I’m glad you visited. I’m grateful for the cookies, as…misshapen as they are,” he teases. “I appreciate everything you’ve done so far. I just wanted you to know that.”

A flood of relief washes over you. You’d still been feeling awkward about your visit to Freddy’s earlier, the security guard’s demeanor throwing you off. But everything feels good again, now that you’re away from that creepy abandoned restaurant, standing in this warm, sunny room with his arms around you. You eagerly accept the next series of kisses, fingers teasing along the nape of his neck that’s still damp from the shower.

“You should probably take this off. In case things get messy,” he hums against your throat, fingers dipping beneath the neckline of your dress.

You shudder at that implication, parting long enough to drag the dress over your head, leaving it draped over the nearby towel rack and Dave sucks in a deep breath when he sees the lingerie you’re wearing.

“Why haven’t I seen this yet?”

“You like it?”

“Mmm-hmm. My favorite color.” He drags a hand around the mound of one breast, then slides it down to cup the swell of your buttocks.

“I did wear it for you before. When you came over for dinner that first night. But you were being a gentleman, so you didn’t get to see it.”

“What an absolute fool I was.” He grabs your upper arms and turns you, so you’re pushed up against the sink. You grasp the edge of the counter and his hand covers yours, mouth wet against your neck, nuzzling aside your hair so he can lap at your ear. “How did I ever manage to resist you, love?”

You arch against him, grinding, feeling his erection pressing into your flesh. The towel seems to have found its way to the floor in a hurry. Just one flimsy little lace barrier separates you from what you want. “Dave…”

Your eyes meet in the mirror. The exposure to the water has shifted the color of his skin slightly, the scars nearly violet against that parchment white flesh tone. His eyes have gone dark, matching the messy tumble of locks he’s neglected to tame, full of want as he slides a hand beneath your jaw, fingers curling around. Your breasts heave, lungs already struggling.

Your panties are shoved down, his other hand abandoning yours and thrusting between your legs, teasing your clit, sliding the juices that weep from your sex over that hooded bud. You feel the wetness of precum smeared along your spine before the hot, hard shove as he maneuvers his cock past the crevice, pressing against your entrance.

You’re bent down, mashed against sharp edged Formica and the round curve of the porcelain basin as he enters you, sliding in smooth and fast. There’s a little sound of satisfaction that slides past his lips when he’s fully seated inside that target, a moan from you when he draws back and then thrusts in again. You can feel the wetness that spills out of you with each movement, coating his prick in welcome. His fingers dig into your cheeks for a time as the sound of flesh meeting flesh slaps sharply, punctuated by his little growls and grunts and whispers. He punches each sound of pleasure from you, driving you against the counter repeatedly.

You love the feel of him taking you in this position, that deep strike inside knocking against your hollow just right. But you miss his mouth, relieved when his arm curls around your waist, bringing you upright, your face turning desperately to find his, a sloppy crash of tongues and lips as he continues to pump inside of your tunnel, fingers colliding somewhere near your mound, stroking that sensitive, swollen bud peaking at the apex of your sex together.

“Dave…” The name spills out, sounding whiny and needy as you’re stimulated inside and out.

The older man huffs by your ear. “So fucking perfect, love. Such a good girl, taking me like this. I want you to cum for me.”

The praise sizzles over your skin, hot and prickling, the benediction driving you to bliss. You cry out, your body wanting to fold, the intensity of the pleasure imploding within making you quiver violently. But Dave holds you through it, keeping you braced upright, his hips still snapping, driving his cock repeatedly into you.

That spasming over his dick has your body blindly forcing yourself to grind back onto the rutting figure behind you, a wild, impulsive want that’s driven the propagation of the species making you babble something about being bred. You don’t truly want that, and it’s not even possible, given that you’re on birth control, but in that almost primal moment, you’re desperate for it; for being filled to the brim with a hot load of his spunk, marked and stained and owned.

He doesn’t grant this wish, withdrawing just in time to paint your skin in hot streaks of release, spread across your spine and buttocks. His breathing is freight train rapid, harsh gasps panted and wheezed as you view his reflection in the mirror.

“Sorry, I’ll clean you up. I didn’t think you’d want to go to work, leaking…fuck, did you want to?” He murmurs in disbelief. Some of the lust hazed sensation has left you, now that you’ve both climaxed, but part of it still lingers.

“Don’t apologize. I loved it,” you say, turning and threading a hair through coal dark tresses that are now salted with perspiration. There’s healthy color in his cheeks now, the scars returned to their normal shade of pink. Your fingers slide down to stroke his bottom lip, thumb nudging the cracked gap between his teeth and his lashes flutter, an intake of air dragged swiftly past your digit.

“You…” He doesn’t finish the thought, staring at you heatedly.

“Me…?” You tease.

“We’d better get you cleaned up so you can go to work, before I decide to keep you here.”

“Maybe I want to be kept here.”

Dave groans before moving to the linen closet, retrieving a wash cloth and wetting it at the sink. He drags it over your skin, erasing the marks of his release then helps you pull your panties back into place. “Fuck, these are wet.”

“Your fault, for getting me so worked up.”

“I should get you spares.” He watches as you slip your dress back overhead, smoothing the fabric into place and then checking your appearance in the mirror. “You look like you’ve been taken good and proper,” he says, looking a touch smug.

“Mmm-hmm.” You wet Dave’s hairbrush, trying to get your hair into some semblance of order. Better, but you’re still flushed, your lips a little swollen. There’s a faint rash spread across your throat, a hallmark of how intense your arousal and orgasm had been.

“Going back to the spare lingerie idea, I was wondering what you thought about keeping some clothing here.”

You set the brush down, turning to face your lover. “You mean, like, in case my clothes get dirty, or…?”

“Well, yes, for that. And for when you spend the night. Maybe this weekend,” he invites.

A smile blossoms on your lips. “You want me to sleepover?”

“Yes, that’s what I’m suggesting.” He’s finished rinsing the washcloth and cleaning his own nether region up before stepping into a pair boxer briefs and pulling an undershirt overhead. “What do you think?”

“Yes.” You imagine what it will be like to fall alseep in his arms. To wake up in them. “I’d really love that.”

“Good.” Dave captures your lips again. And again. It’s so tempting to linger. To let yourself be swept across the hall, into his bed. But you have work. And, as well as this man functions on virtually no sleep, he does need some rest, at least.

So you let him escort you to the door instead. Exchange a few more kisses. You’ve just begun to descend the first step when you recall you’re supposed to remind him about removing the note from his work shirt pocket. You turn back, calling out the reminder. And then he’s in your arms again. And it feels right.

***

Dave unlocks the door to the basement and thumbs the switch on the wall, relieving some of the darkness one flight below.

If there’s one thing he regrets, it’s not following the trend of having the washer and dryer hookup on the first floor. Initially he’d balked at the idea of having appliances all lined up in a row, but he’s since begun to see the appeal, the obvious convenience making the sacrifice for proper appearance well worth it.

The steps don’t have backs, but the treds are sturdy, and he descends them swiftly, depositing the load of laundry he’s carrying on top of the dryer. It’s a finished basement, but only barely. The walls are covered in drywall that’s still unpainted, and even though the popcorn ceiling blocks the view of the overhead network of pipes, the cement floor never did receive that linoleum covering he’d intended on installing, and although it’s not as unpleasant as dirt floors and concrete walls, it still has that feel of being a subterranean, slightly forbidding space that is distinctly separate from the rest of the home, not meant to be occupied for any length of time.

The narrow back rooms are filled with the expected oil furnace, tank and water heater, but there are other, unexpected features as well. Concealed just behind the cheap hollow unpainted doors are his workstations, littered with pieces of animatronics, with piles of journals filled with his findings, the celebratory discoveries dwarfed by his rantings and ravings about the progress of his former business partner Henry Emily. More and more they had become the latter, distractedly focused on the unfairness of it all, the disrespect he’d endured; all of those judging insinuations, the authorities had thought themselves so righteous, and he’d pitied them, honestly, because they’d never know true greatness, could never even imagine a possibility of grasping something so close to deification. Creating life, that was a gift less imaginative, easily accomplished, but controlling a soul, an eternal fragment, that was something else entirely.

This is the research that had become his focus, that had obliterated thoughts of mundane things like finally getting around to fixing up the basement into a family room like he’d promised. He’d known he was intended for something greater; had always been. Even though no one had ever seen it.

This is what he has neglected to devote attention to, in the wake of your appearance. What he doesn’t want you to ever see. He’s more certain than ever, especially after that visit to his former restaurant, that you wouldn’t understand; would look at his unfinished work, the veritable confessions in those implicating journals, and turn your back on him. He’d never let you come down here to see into the depths of his soul.

His laundry is loaded into the washing machine, door closed and detergent measured and added into the slot. He turns the dials and waits for the sound of the door seal locking properly, the hiss as water fills the drum to saturate the clothing. His eyes wander over blank drywall as if he can see right through it, to that unfinished work that begs for completion. He makes it as far as reaching for the doorknob, but then releases it abruptly, as if burned. No. He would not be looking at it today. It was time to rest now. Maybe later.

Maybe never. Because you have her, body and perhaps the beginnings of her heart, with her soul sure to follow. Maybe that could be enough.

He turns away, ascending the stairs and switching off the light. Out of habit he relocks the door, even though he knows he’ll have to unlock it again later when he goes down to throw the wet laundry in the dryer. Better to be safe than sorry.

He trudges up the stairs to the second floor. He’s unwinding like an old alarm clock, running down, movements growing slower as the long shift and morning activities drag at him. He manages a small twitch of a smile at your note tucked safely on the nightstand, thinking of the ones he’d written you thus far. Nothing special about the first, when he’d stated what time you should arrive, but the latter, the directions, he hadn’t been able to resist adding that little message declaring your beauty, then signing with just his initial.

His initial. Dave sits bolt upright, suddenly alert again. He’d signed a W and not a D. He’s almost certain. But you hadn’t said anything. Maybe you hadn’t noticed.

A mistake. A small one, but still an error. Sometimes those are the most insidious ones.

William. You know what you’re doing to that girl is wrong.

The voice of the elderly woman across the street reprimands him again in his mind.

That’s not who I am anymore.

Quiet. That boy hadn’t fought back, hadn’t screamed like the others. When he’d pushed, and pushed, until something broke, blood spilling out, covering his naked hand, spattering and staining the yellow rabbit costume’s fur.

Henry looking at him, silently accusing. He’d known all along. He must have. Yet he allowed it to continue. He let it happen, over and over. Virtually condoning it.

Not my fault. None of it. Never proven. Still hidden. Safe.

That’s not who I am anymore.

I’m obsessed with you.

Maybe I want to be kept here.

He’s definitely written a W on that paper. His subconscious taking over, regaining control. William Afton, still burrowing inside, like a parasite.

Waiting.

Vee is For Vampires - Chapter 7: The Moon and the Stars

Author: @sinnysioux

Vamp!Ville x f!reader

Warnings: Definite smut. 18+

Read on AO3

Previous Chapter ❥ Next Chapter ❥ Fic Masterlist

It’s been a couple of months or so. I ended my tenancy on the flat and moved in with Ville. I left my job and I am truly thriving, not being held down by a shitty 9-5 that I don’t enjoy. The Haunted Mansion no longer feels like Ville’s home, but our home. There are home cooked meals in the fridge, fresh flowers in every room, wax melts and scents, and the occasional pair of lace panties on the bedroom floor. I spend a lot of the day sleeping, as I am up in the night with Ville. When I’m not sleeping, I am perfecting my Finnish on Duo Lingo; I am confident I can hold a conversation with Ville’s family when it is time to meet them. I also use Google Translate for the occasional smutty and specific sexual demand, which drives Ville wild every time. I am no longer uneasy around blood as I use it in cooking; Ville and I get to have romantic meals together in his dining room. The dining room is a place we have christened several times with our lovemaking, because why wait? The pool room, the bathroom, the garden grounds. I am just as taken by him (and just as thirsty) as I was from the moment I met him, and he spends every minute telling me how much he loves me. Life honestly feels great.

I wake up at 5pm, earlier than usual, feeling like a sack of shit. I perambulate to the bathroom and take a look at myself in the mirror. I am pale, far more pale than usual. There are dark circles around my eyes. My skin is sunken and dry. Ville and I had sex last night; explosive, passionate sex. I had let him drink from me, as I often do now, but I have never felt like this before. Perhaps I am low on iron? Anaemic? That would explain a lot. I make a mental note to talk to my vampire boyfriend about slowing down on the bloodsucking. I look down at the sink and heave. Suddenly, I am sick, and vomit a disgusting green liquid into the sink bowl. Bile, but no actual food. I shake a little and feel faint. Perhaps I need to eat something.

“Cheers, Mari…” I mutter, feeling even more like shit.

“I’m sorry, sweetie, you are just too pale! Let me get you something to eat.” She offers me a multitude of fancy breakfasts but my stomach turns at the mention of them. In the end I agree to toast and a glass of orange juice, as the mere mention of tea has me heaving. How strange; there is little that rivals my love for tea. Perhaps I have a stomach bug. I eat half of my toast, make excuses and settle for a warm soak. The lavender bath salts seem to ease my stomach and relax me. I style my hair, throw a dress on, put on some light makeup and feel well again.

I breathe slowly, taking in his tight leather jeans, and the delicious part where his legs meet and the fabric stretches to contain him. I take in the pale strip of his stomach on display with a little flash of his pelvic heartagram tattoo. I follow the hem of his shirt up; a Type O Negative shirt with two topless women embracing and making their ‘O’ faces. I feel a little twinge between my legs thinking about Ville’s O face. My eyes follow the milky skin along his neck, over his Adams apple, to his jawline, carved by the gods. Those plump pink lips, slender nose, cheekbones, and shining twinkling eyes of gardenia. I am lost in him and in awe of his beauty. “Good evening, Rakkaani.” He pads forward and kisses the top of my head. We sit opposite each other and Ville eats hungrily. I eat a couple of bits of beef, but again find that I don’t really feel hungry. I use my cutlery to play with the food on my plate; trying to give him the impression that I am eating, but he picks up on my behaviour quickly. I tell him I don’t feel hungry and he doesn’t pry further. When he has eaten, I spontaneously stand and place my palms on the table. My knees follow and I crawl to him like a feline stalking her prey. He looks surprised as I lean forward to aggressively bite his bottom lip.

“Ouch!” He snaps. I dig my nails into his shoulders and move to bite his neck, suddenly overcome with lust. “Fuck, baby, stop!” He commands and pushes me to arms length.

“Don’t you want me?” I purr, reaching one hand down to stroke the length of his cock through his tight jeans whilst the other fumbles with his belt.

He grabs my wrist, “No. Not here.” He whispers, angrily.

“What’s the matter, baby? I know you want me-“, I sing.

He holds my shoulders at arms’ length. “This isn’t like you, what’s going on? You’re being aggressive…”

“Don’t… don’t fucking question my love for you. It’s not fair…”. The tears roll out of my eyes and down to the floor, and I start to shake. I am scared to look at him. “I didn’t mean to-“ he gets up immediately trying to make amends for his outburst, “I’m sorry…”. He takes a step towards me and I step back.

“It’s fine. I need to go-“, my voice breaks as I turn to leave and run up the staircase. I make it to Ville’s room, throw myself on his bed and break down. My face buried in his pillow; my tears dampening his bed linen. He has never shouted at me like this before, but I am more so hurt by the rejection. The fear that he will wake up, realise I am nothing special, and discard me like a bloodless body. I cry harder.

I feel the bed creak and lower, and an arm wrap around me. My body stiffens but Ville kisses my shoulders, my arms. “I’m sorry… you didn’t deserve that”.

Through my tears, I sigh, “You were right, I wasn’t being myself.” I say solemnly.

“Even so, I should never have shouted at you. It just… I feel like I need to explain why I got so angry. Will you please look at me?” I roll over apprehensively to meet his eyes, ever beautiful and green. I kick myself for crying, and imagine I look like a puffy pink mess. He wipes at my tears with his thumbs as he cradles my face. “Come… sit up.”

Begrudgingly, I allow him to pull me up, and sit with my back against the headboard. He puts his hands in my lap, palms up, and I put my hands in his. His thumbs run reassuring circles over my knuckles. He takes a deep breath and launches into his explanation. “I had an ex girlfriend who used to accuse me of not loving her every time she didn’t get her way. She would use it as a weapon to get me to do things that I didn’t want to do. If I didn’t want to go to a party with her friends, she would say it was because I didn’t love her. If I didn’t want to get blackout drunk with her, I didn’t love her. It was exhausting.” He reminisces, sadly.

“I’m not her…” I whisper without looking up from our hands.

“No”, agrees Ville, “You’re not. You’re kind, and thoughtful, and funny…” he kisses my hands “…and I will love you throughout this life and the next.” I look up and smile weakly, and start to feel faint. I can feel bile rising from my stomach and bolt to the bathroom. Ville follows and holds my hair back as I retch over the sink, and helps me back to the bedroom when I am done.

“You didn’t eat at dinner”, he says, more observant than I give him credit for. “You need to eat something to settle your stomach.”

I sigh, “I know, I just don’t really feel myself. The thought of food alone makes me feel sick-“.

“Then we’ll get you to a doctor.” Ville interjects. “I have a private doctor who could probably fit us in tomorrow evening…” he says, standing.

“No, Ville, it’s fine. I’m still registered with my old doctor. I’ll go there tomorrow morning. That way I’ll get seen quicker.” I decide.

“You’re sure?” Ville says, brows furrowed, looking concerned.

“Yes”, I say, but he doesn’t seem convinced. “I’m sorry I was… aggressive… my mood has been a little bit all over the place the last two days… it’s probably a hormone imbalance or something.”

He lies facing me and strokes my hair, “You seem so sad. What is upsetting you? Please let me take it away.”

I breathe deeply. “Ville… I love you… but I don’t have a life outside of you, and that is… well, it’s frightening. I don’t exist outside of you, and if one day you feel like it’s not working out, I will lose everything. My best friend, my love, my home, my purpose; and I think a loss that great would kill me.” He holds my hands in his again and commands my gaze with his intensely calming eyes.

“I have never felt this way before, nor will I ever feel this way again. I am yours. Completely. Body and soul… assuming there is a soul there” he laughs briefly, “I won’t ever turn you away. In fact, it is I who fears losing you. I am terrified of you realising how much better you can do…” he blinks as if to halt tears. “…what can I do to fix this?” he begs.

I take a moment to establish what I want. “I want to go to Finland, Ville. I want to leave London. I want to travel, find purpose… it is not enough that we love each other. I need to begin to love myself again.”

He nods. “We will go to Finland”, he promises. I kiss him lightly on the cheek.

“Kiitos, rakkaani”, I say, thanking him.

He smiles. “Your pronunciation is really good, you’ll fit in with us Finns easily.” I smile back and drift out of consciousness.

…

When I awake it is seven in the morning and I continue to feel even more like death. I call the medical practice and ask to be seen today. They are hesitant as always, probably busy blah blah, but oblige when I describe my symptoms. I am relieved to get an appointment but also scared; what if it’s something bad? I get out of bed and trudge slowly to the bathroom. I still look pretty pale which really highlights the dark circles around my eyes. Great. I brush my teeth, floss, and have a quick body shower. I return to the bedroom to get dressed in one of Ville’s shirts and a pair of black skinny jeans. I walk downstairs slowly, preparing myself for Mari’s over concern.

Predictably, she is not afraid to tell me I look like shit. Damn these Finns and their brutal honesty. At least she offers breakfast. I ask her for something plain and she delivers with pancakes. They are a bit sweeter than expected but I surprise myself by eating three; it seems the lack of consistent food and vomiting has left my stomach empty and increased my appetite. I still don’t feel like drinking tea so I opt for warm water instead and thank Mari as always for her kind hospitality. I pack some essentials: phone, bank card, ID into a handbag, grab a jacket and stroll outside.

Sure enough, Elias is parked in the courtyard outside Ville’s home. I knock his window and he rolls it down.

“Are you… always here? Do you ever get a break?” I implore out of honest concern.

Elias laughs, “Usually whilst Ville is sleeping, where did you want to go Miss?” I feel guilty.

“I… um… could you take me to a park or something? With a cafe? I feel like fresh air and a walk would do me good.” Elias of course accepts the request, before opening my door for me. I opt to sit in front and tell him Ville and I are thinking of going to Finland. I try to pry about what Ville’s life in Finland is like. He seems uneasy, and gives me very little back. However, when I switch the conversation to Ville’s parents he brightens, reassuring me that they are very kind and accommodating people. That’s nice, at least.

He drops me off at a park with lots of greenery, a kids’ play area, some benches and a small cafe. He insists on waiting for me even though I tell him I might be a while. I walk into the cafe and it is quiet. There are a few older couples having afternoon tea. I smile politely and do my best to look like a mentally well person who has her shit together. I purchase a hot chocolate and a little cake, and sit outside. I hold the cardboard cup between my palms and sip my warm drink. Autumn is here and it is colder; this is actually great because it means that the nights are getting longer, which of course means more time with my love.

I watch children playing on swings and climbing frames in the playground, and smile. It would be nice to have children. Maybe this could be something to discuss once we are settled in Finland, assuming his parents like me.

My mind wanders thinking about how I can impress his parents… I don’t want them to think I’m some weirdo with a vampire fetish. Then again, Ville’s dad does run a sex shop… I’m sure he’s seen stranger things. I pop back into the cafe to order a simple coffee. Elias seems like a coffee guy. I head back to the car with my offering, which Elias gracefully accepts, before driving me to the medical surgery. He does so without asking me why. He’s a good guy: private; respectful.

I sit in the waiting room with one headphone in. My love is singing about being buried alive by love, whilst I nervously tap my fingers on my knees. The doctor calls me in and asks me what the problem is.

“Um… I’ve not been feeling myself lately. My appetite has reduced, I feel lethargic and weak. At first I thought it was a lack of vitamin D or iron or something, but I’ve been taking supplements. Oh, I’m, my mood has been a bit up and down and I’ve thrown up a few times…” she listens to my monologue patiently.

“Okay, and when was your last period?” Silence.

“Oh, um… I don’t know, er…” I think back to the last time I remember: Ville’s bloody fingers in the kitchen. “… a couple of months maybe? Is it hormones? Am I going through early menopause?”

The doctor’s lips purse and I can tell she is trying not to laugh, which makes me all the more stressed. “No, not at all. Miss, have you considered perhaps you might be pregnant?”

“When were you last sexually active?” she asks.

“Oh, I… um, the day before yesterday.” I admit, embarrassed. She hands me a rectangular package and explains what I need to do. I sit in the bathroom cubicle and pee on the stick. While the results are developing I try to breathe deeply and calmly, I try to distract myself with happy thoughts, thoughts of Finland. Nothing is working. I brave a look at the stick in my hand and see two lines.

Positive.

I am pregnant with Ville’s baby.

I burst into tears. I am in shock and disbelief, I am scared and not sure how to feel at all.

I return to the examination room with puffy eyes and show my doctor the stick. Tears start to roll out of my eyes again.

“Are you okay? How is the relationship with the father?” She asks.

“Great”, I smile through tears. “He’s gentle and he’s loving…” I stare wistfully out of the window.

“Does he want children?” She pries.

“More than anything”, I say, smiling, but continuing to avoid eye contact.

“And you… do you want children?” I turn to look at her, her brow furrowed in concern.

“Yes”, I smile, and continue to cry.

She gives me a hesitant hug to comfort me. “In that case… congratulations!” she smiles. I return her smile, sniffing and dabbing at my eyes with tissue. She prescribes me pregnancy vitamins and gives me advice regarding morning sickness. I am told that I must eat when I get up, to force the sickness away, and to stick to plain and tasteless foods when nauseous. I am given advice about activities to avoid when pregnant.

“You can still have sex, in fact it can help baby to move a little quicker when it is time for them to come out.” She laughs. I smile, and thank the heavens that sex is still on the table, because resisting Ville in his low rise jeans and “fuck me” tattoo is futile. I thank her for the emotional support and am told a midwife will be in touch.

The cold air on my skin is soothing when I step outside. I close my eyes for a moment and let the wind calm me. I walk down the path to Elias’ car and get in: I tell him I’d like to go home and we sit in complete silence. I spend the entire fifty minute journey inside my own head. I think about how Ville will take the news, what having a family will look like… and then I start to panic.

The baby is half vampire.

I shut my eyes and bite into my lips to keep the panic attack at bay. Elias thankfully doesn’t seem to notice. By the time he pulls into the courtyard, I realise the sun has just set and Ville will be awake. I thank Elias for his help today and walk hesitantly to the door. I unlock it and step inside. I can’t see or hear him so I head upstairs. My legs feel like they are made of lead and I again focus on steadying my breathing and taking the staircase step by step. Ville isn’t in his room and I breathe a sigh of relief. I kick off my Doc Martens and release my legs from their prison of skinny jeans.

In nothing but Ville’s KISS shirt and my underwear, I sit on his window ledge and stare out at the sky, wondering what to make of how suddenly and significantly my life has changed. I hear the click of the bedroom door and take a deep, steadying, breath. Here we go…

“Good evening, rakkaani”, he leans in to kiss my forehead gently; the gentle smack of his parted lips warming me. “Did you see the doctor?” My lips part but I cannot speak, frightened of the weight of my words. I look up at him hesitantly and bite my lip so hard it begins to bleed. He leans in to lick my lip and places his hands gently on my shoulders.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” He whispers.

I take a long, drawn out breath. “Ville… I’m pregnant.”

His eyes widen, “W-what?” He gasps.

“We’re… w-we’re, um, we… we’re having a baby.” I say, barely audible. He stands and buries his face in his hands.

My heart sinks. He’s upset. He’s disappointed. He doesn’t believe me. He doesn’t want the baby. He’ll ask me to leave. He…

“You have blessed me with the most wonderful gift. You are my everything, rakkaani, I can never repay you for all the love and light you have brought into my life.” He smiles through his tears.

I cup his face with my hands, wiping his little dewdrops with my thumbs, running them through the spikes of stubble. “YOU have blessed ME!” I tell him, grabbing his hand in mine and guiding it to my stomach.

He caresses my very small bump and chuckles, “Hi little one! It’s Daddy!” His grin is bright and infectious, and he giggles like an excited child. “Tell Mama she is perfect, and Daddy is going to marry her”. His eyes move to mine.

“W-what?” I whisper.

“Marry me, rakkaani, I can’t live without you. You are my purpose.” I smile shyly and lean forward…

“Baby says Daddy needs to do better than that. Mummy deserves a grand gesture.” I chide.

He laughs out loud, “Little Love, tell your mother the moon and the stars are hers soon enough.” We both giggle, giddy with excitement. “Now we really do have to go to Finland….” he smiles “…we have to tell my parents.”

I look down, nervous. “I hope they like me”, I whisper.

“How could they not?” He says reassuringly.

“Thanks… Daddy.” I tease.

His face changes and he looks at me sternly and seriously. “NEVER call me that during sex!” His grin returns and I laugh so hard I cry.

The Chikamori Legacy

Chapter One (Part VII)

Haruo’s Alcove Saturday Morning

Haruo was roused from his sleep at five in the morning by an irritable Mayumi. “Are you aware that as a young adult, you can now pay us five hundred a month in rent right now or you can leave this house.” So how long had Mayumi stewed over that financial haymaker she wanted to level at her son? Not long enough, perhaps.

“Really?” Haruo’s eyes narrowed: this was going to be fun, “Well, that’s a good thing, isn’t it?”

He remarked. “Just give me a brief second. I need to write something down.”

“What’s that?” Mayumi was startled as the wind was taken out of her sails as Haruo scrawled something down on a piece of looseleaf sheet paper.

“It’s a notice to end tenancy! Give me six hours to pack and I will vacate this house.”

"What!?” Mayumi looked blindsided. She'd thought that she could have a readily available §500.00 a month. He was cowed enough that he would give it up readily if he wanted a roof over his head so she thought. Unfortunately she hadn't thought through the alternatives if he wasn't under her thumb as much as she'd thought.

“Oh, I didn’t tell you? I made sure to tell the bank that my savings went to purchase a lot upon which I built a small trailer. I’m sure you’re happy that I won’t be homeless…” like you hoped I would be…turns out I was two steps ahead of you….bitch. “Now if you don’t mind, I’d like some peace and quiet while I get my things together so I can move.” Haruo smiled at her. He knew just how much this was making her stew inside and he twisted the knife in a little more. “Would you prefer I left this bed-frame or would you like me to take it with me? After all it is getting rather worn and might be dangerous for the next tenant.”

“YASUBO!!!!” Mayumi shrieked.

“Nande shakenderu?”

When he was told the reason, why Haruo was moving out. Yasunobu nodded. He knew how unhappy his son had been over the years and he was gratified to know that Haruo wasn’t leaving because of him. His son assured Yasunobu that he would always have a place for him on the property in Richmond, but did not want his mother to know where he was living. He had to get away from her...at any cost. Yasunobu’s own relationship with Mayumi had been rather strained because of the antagonism that she’d borne their own son and Yasunobu felt that to his very core. He knew that his own blood child was unhappy and wanted out but he didn’t want to lose touch with him and that was what he feared most.

Haruo was looking at making a clean break from the family and going to live his own life. Would he be able to make a life for himself? Haruo tended to be a bit asocial. He never really longed for social interaction but most of society tended to shun those who behaved in that manner so in order to conceal his true motivations, he tried to behave like everyone else, looking for a relationship.

It would take someone very special and very understanding to bring him out of the shell that he cocooned himself in. Was River that kind of person; was Bebe, for that matter. Haruo didn’t know and for right now,,all he wanted to do was get the hell out of Mayumi’s house.

Meanwhile Mayumi was in hysterics trying to order Yasunobu to do something till finally Yasunobu got so pissed off, he thundered. “Damare, kuso-babaa!!!” He was angry that his son felt so abused that he was being forced out of the house. He reached into his pockets and gave Haruo one thousand simoleons over Mayumi’s protests that the louse should starve for defying her edicts. He gave her a look to say keep going at your own risk and you’ll be out on the street, wife! Yasunobu was more than livid.

Haruo took his leave of the house not less than three hours later. He’d thrown everything into boxes and rented a truck to get him to Richmond. And it was at the point where he was loading up the box-spring into his van with the help of Yasunobu that River and Fiona came out to see just what commotion was going on as Mayumi’s screeching had reached a crescendo and could probably have been heard all the way clear across town.

River forgot all about her anger towards Haruo and Bebe and asked, “What’s going on?”

“I’m done…” Haruo replied not without some heat since he’d wanted to get the hell out quickly and quietly and this was anything but. “I’ve had it with this place and I’m moving out.”

“HE CAN’T DO THAT!!!” Mayumi screeched.

“The hell I can’t!” Haruo snapped at his mother.

“You can’t…” River begged him embracing him out of sheer desperation. She needed him to stay. If he left…then what would happen to their friendship? Out of all possible scenarios she had pictured in her head upon confronting both Haruo and Bebe about last afternoon, she hadn’t expected this scenario. And she hadn’t even confronted Haruo about Bebe yet. Haruo shook his head. No, nothing was going to convince him not to move out. River didn’t know where he was going and she wasn’t about to ask him where he was going in front of his mother since it appeared Haruo didn’t want to disclose where he was moving to in front of his mother. “Why?” was all she asked.

“That bitch…” he snapped thumbing towards his mother. “I’ve had it with her unreasonable dictates. I’ve had it with her lies and conniving and her I’m better than everyone else attitude. I’m tired of her dumping all over me every time she gets a burr up her ass about something. She’s pissed me off for the very last time and I’m sick and tired of seeing her face.”

Mayumi went sheet white and shaking. “How…HOW DARE YOU!!! You ungrateful brute! I was in labour with you for sixteen hours!!!!” The last scream could be likened to a banshee’s wail.

Fiona barely stopped herself from letting off a cackle of laughter from seeing Yasunobu nearly roll his eyes into the back of his head. The poor man. How he’d managed to put up with that screaming harpy for eighteen plus years. And you made his life hell for eighteen years because of it. Mayumi, you more than were paid back for whatever you went through if anyone should even be paid back for going through labour pain.

“I want an apology!” Mayumi screeched.

Haruo firmly set his jaw in a stubborn scowl. “Well enjoy waiting…” he pointed in his mother’s face, “ because hell will fucking freeze over before you get one!”

Fiona was silently cheering for Haruo. She’d known just how abusive Mayumi had been to Haruo and she being a tenant of Mayumi’s was powerless to help him.

“Anybody that agrees with him…” Mayumi pointed to Haruo “…can jolly well leave my house!” She stuck her jaw out like a little fat Napoleon.

Fiona chortled as she gave Mayumi a withering look, “Very well. Mayumi, Haruo, do you have some extra space in that trailer of yours?”

Haruo looked shocked - he’d expected a clean quiet split from the house and never having to look back. How did River’s Mom know just what kind of building I had on my property?

“I’m sure we’ll get some money back with the BC Rentalsman when he hears how we were illegally evicted. Yasunobu? Are you coming?” Fiona sounded downright amused.

“Maybe…” Yasunobu replied in halting English then spoke a flurry of heated words in Japanese towards his wife who turned even whiter than she was. “I pay house, I pay mortgage, I no pay, she can no live here. House get sold so I have to stay.” He explained in broken English. So Yasunobu had leverage that he was now willing to use against Mayumi to insure she stayed in line.

“I’m overloaded.” Haruo stated. “ I can’t take anymore this trip but if you’re seriously intent on moving out, Mrs McIrish, I can come back and move you out too.”

“That would be fine. I’m considering this threat of eviction as a tendered eviction notice and treating it as such. And the Rentalsman’s office will be hearing about this as well. Yasunobu, you shouldn’t have to pay this, I wouldn’t. It’s Mayumi’s doing.”

“But my finances are tied up in Kits.” Mayumi protested. She had a house in Kitsilano that she was renovating with Yasunobu’s financial help (essentially extorted out of him) that was going strictly to her and to her brothers.

“Tough luck.” Haruo said. “Maybe you should have thought before opening your mouth. I wholeheartedly support Mrs. McIrish getting her due.” It would be nice to see his mother being taken down a peg or two. And it gave him fire to see his way through to making a success out of himself. All the times Mayumi had trampled on his self-esteem, she was now getting back in spades. And lo, if it were so satisfying.

“Look, I’ll come with you and help you.” River said. “You’re going to give yourself a hernia taking that box-spring and mattress Haruo had a queen size mattress and box-spring loaded up on the van of his.

Haruo reluctantly agreed. He hadn’t reckoned on the McIrishes moving in with him, least of all them initiating the idea of it. He’d kept the passenger side clear since he was considering stopping at a grocery store to buy food for the next week since his father had given him a thousand. He was glad however that he’d chosen to keep the truck for a few days before having to return it to the rental agency.

River looked at her Mom to see if it was OK. Her mom nodded, “Go with him and help him…”.

‘You could be one of the good ones, but the reality is, 99% of our tenants… just… aren’t”

I had offered the use of the bond, to insulate the house, and Michelle was explaining why that would be too much risk to the owner.

‘Anything could happen you see?’ She explained kindly. ‘You could stop paying rent, or damage the property. The owner would have to cover that themselves. The owner doesn’t have to provide insulation, and insulation only effects the tenant, not the owner, so it would be too much risk to allow the bond to be used.

“Oh” I replied, suddenly understanding. “so, because insulation only effects the tenant, not the owner, it’s a risk for the owner to use the bond?”

‘Exactly’ she replied ‘the owner doesn’t get anything out of that’

‘How about keeping a good tenant?’ I offered.

“Oooh and look, it might be, that you are one of the good ones..” she cooed emphatically , “but the reality is, 99% of our tenants… just… aren’t”

Who was I to argue? After all, the last tenants had literally trashed the place. I know, as we had just spent a month cleaning thick greasy dust off every surface, removing building debris and rubbish from the gardens, steam cleaning the carpets and repainting the walls and ceilings of our rental, getting it ready for us to move in to. So I’ll be honest, I didn’t think it was going to be too hard to prove we were good tenants worth keeping. Surely worth insulating.. I made a video of the work we’d done, and the work we were planning to do. But time after time, staff member after staff member, refused to acknowledge the work we’d put in, or that the footage even existed.

That’s odd. I thought.

It wasn’t the only thing that was odd.

It quickly became apparent that the property managers job was to protect the owner – from me.

Wait.. Am I the enemy in this scenario? I wondered. If so, why? I had kinda assumed we’d be working together, towards a common goal. Surely getting the best out of the owners investment was a win win for everyone? Right?…. Right?

You see, this was no ordinary tenancy, I had applied specifically to this tenancy with the offer to ‘do up’ the house at my own cost. It was a personal passion project. Something I’d always wanted to do. And something about this house had my creative juices flowing. In return I wanted long term sustainabile housing… we tried to get something in writing, but gosh darn it, we just couldn’t seem to get the wording right, but that’s no big deal I thought, we all clearly wanted the same thing, there’s time for that later. I needed to get a better idea of the investment I’d be making anyway.

So I signed up under the guidance of the very charasmatic James, and as soon as that was done I was never allowed to speak with him again- EVER.

Infact everything changed

Communication with the owner, was no longer allowed.

My offers to help to get the fence fixed, not allowed

Use of the bond to insulate the house, not allowed

Clarification on whether or not the owner did infact want the kind of tenancy I was offering- not allowed.

Acknowledging the work we’d put into the house – not allowed

After months of trying to find a member of the realestate to give me a straight answer, I ended up on the door step of the owners house to find out if they wanted me or not - in person.

-Aaaaaand, well, look. That’s a story on it’s own, and I am… really looking forward to telling it – spoiler free- so, ya’ll just gonna have to wait -

It’s a good storey. A story of discovery, as it just so happens that I have undertaken an…. incredibly intensive and enlightening 6 month journey. We are talking about a journey that can only be described as extreme in every sense of the word - There’s; inward and outward epiphanies, physical feats un-precedented, dareing stunts, twists, turns, dizzying highs and heart breaking lows. It has been the kind of journey that changes a person. The kind of journey that restarts a life.

And I owe all this to the plight of property managers.

So, if you are a property manager, and you can hear me, I’d like to thank you, because I think I finally figured out why I wasn’t able find anyone to advocate me as ‘good tenant worth keeping’. And why good tenants are just so gosh darn hard to find.

.. to be continued

How Much Cleaning Should You Do When Moving Out Cleaning?

Moving out of a home can be an overwhelming process, and one of the most important tasks on your checklist is ensuring the property is left in pristine condition. Whether you're leaving a rental property or selling your home, knowing how much cleaning is necessary can make the difference between getting your bond back or leaving a good impression on the new owners. In this article, we’ll explore the essential aspects of move out cleaning and end of tenancy cleaning to help you understand what’s required.

Why Is Move Out Cleaning Important?

Move out cleaning is crucial because it ensures that you leave the property in the best possible condition. For tenants, this often means the difference between getting your full bond back or facing deductions. For homeowners, a clean property can influence potential buyers' decisions and could even impact the final sale price.

Leaving a property in good shape isn't just about fulfilling obligations; it's about maintaining respect for the next occupant. Ensuring the home is clean and tidy is a courtesy that reflects well on you as a tenant or homeowner.

Understanding End of Tenancy Cleaning Requirements

For those renting, end of tenancy cleaning auckland is usually a requirement specified in your lease agreement. Landlords expect the property to be returned in the same condition as when you moved in, minus normal wear and tear. This typically involves a deep clean of every room, including often overlooked areas like behind appliances and inside cupboards.

General Areas That Need Attention

When considering how much cleaning to do when moving out, start by addressing general areas of the home. These are spaces that everyone uses, and they tend to accumulate dirt over time.

Floors and Carpets: Sweep, mop, and vacuum all floors. If carpets are stained, consider hiring a professional carpet cleaner.

Walls and Baseboards: Wipe down walls to remove scuffs and marks. Don’t forget to clean baseboards and corners where dust collects.

Windows and Mirrors: Clean all windows and mirrors, ensuring there are no streaks or smudges.

Light Fixtures and Ceiling Fans: Dust and clean all light fixtures and ceiling fans, as these can collect a surprising amount of dirt.

Kitchen Cleaning: A Major Task

The kitchen is one of the most used areas in any home, and it requires thorough cleaning when moving out.

Oven and Stove: Clean the oven, stove top, and range hood thoroughly. These are areas that landlords will inspect closely.

Refrigerator and Freezer: Empty, defrost, and clean the fridge and freezer. Wipe down all shelves and drawers.

Cabinets and Drawers: Empty all cabinets and drawers, and wipe them down inside and out.

Countertops and Sink: Ensure that countertops are free of stains and the sink is scrubbed clean. Don’t forget to clean the faucet and handles.

Bathroom Cleaning: No Detail Left Behind

Bathrooms are another high-traffic area that requires special attention during move out cleaning.

Toilets, Tubs, and Showers: Scrub all surfaces, removing any soap scum, mildew, or hard water stains.

Mirrors and Glass: Clean all mirrors and glass surfaces to remove any smudges.

Tiles and Grout: Clean the tiles and grout, as these can harbor mold and dirt.

Cabinets and Shelves: Wipe down any storage areas, and ensure they are free of dust and debris.

Bedrooms: Don’t Overlook the Details

Bedrooms might seem straightforward, but there are still areas that need careful attention.

Closets: Empty closets completely and wipe down shelves and rods.

Windows: Clean window sills and tracks, as these can accumulate dust.

Fixtures and Fans: Dust and clean any light fixtures, ceiling fans, or vents.

Living Areas: Common Spaces Need Love Too

Living rooms and other common areas should be as spotless as the rest of the home.

Furniture: If you're leaving any furniture behind, ensure it’s clean and presentable.

Electronics: Wipe down any electronics or built-in entertainment systems.

Decor: If wall decor is being left, dust and clean these items as well.

Outdoor Spaces: Don’t Forget the Exterior

If your property has outdoor spaces, these should not be neglected during move out cleaning.

How Much Do Packers and Movers Charge in the UK?

Relocating can be a daunting experience, but understanding the costs involved can make the process smoother. When it comes to hiring packers and movers in the UK, various factors influence the overall cost. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the specifics of these charges to give you a clear picture of what to expect.

Factors Influencing Packers and Movers Costs

1. Distance of the Move

One of the primary factors determining the cost is the distance between the origin and the destination. Shorter distances generally incur lower costs, while long-distance moves, especially those involving cross-country relocations, are more expensive due to higher fuel costs, longer travel time, and increased wear and tear on the vehicles.

2. Volume of Belongings

The volume of items to be moved is a significant determinant of the cost. Packers and movers typically charge based on the cubic feet or the weight of the belongings. The more items you have, the larger the vehicle required and the more manpower needed, leading to higher costs.

3. Type of Services Required

The range of services offered by packers and movers includes packing, loading, transporting, unloading, and unpacking. Full-service moves, where the company handles everything, are more expensive compared to basic transportation services. Additionally, services like furniture disassembly and reassembly, special handling for fragile items, and temporary storage can add to the costs.

4. Time of the Move

Timing plays a crucial role in determining moving costs. Peak moving seasons, such as summer months and weekends, typically see higher prices due to increased demand. Conversely, moving during off-peak seasons or weekdays can result in lower charges.

5. Accessibility

The ease of access to your current and new locations affects the cost. Difficult access points, such as narrow streets, lack of parking, or high-rise buildings without elevators, may require additional labor and equipment, increasing the overall expense.

Average Cost Breakdown

Local Moves

For local moves within the same city or a short distance (up to 50 miles), packers and movers in the UK usually charge by the hour. On average, you can expect to pay between £40 to £80 per hour. The total cost depends on the number of movers required and the time taken to complete the move. For a two-bedroom house, the total cost for a local move typically ranges between £300 to £600.

Long-Distance Moves

Long-distance moves are usually calculated based on the volume of goods and the distance traveled. For a standard two-bedroom house, moving costs for distances over 50 miles can range from £600 to £1,500. For instance, a move from London to Manchester, covering approximately 200 miles, might cost around £800 to £1,200.

Packing Services

If you opt for professional packing services, the cost can vary depending on the amount and type of items. Packing materials and labor can add an additional £200 to £600 to your moving expenses. For a two-bedroom house, professional packing might cost around £300 to £400.

Specialized Items

Moving bulky or delicate items such as pianos, antiques, or large appliances requires special care and expertise. The cost for transporting such items can range from £100 to £500, depending on the item's size and fragility.

Additional Costs to Consider

Insurance

While most packers and movers offer basic insurance coverage, it’s often advisable to purchase additional insurance for valuable or fragile items. The cost for comprehensive moving insurance typically ranges from 1% to 5% of the declared value of the goods.

Storage

If you require storage services, either for short-term or long-term, this will add to the overall cost. Storage charges depend on the volume of goods and the duration of storage. On average, storage costs can range from £50 to £200 per month for a standard storage unit.

Cleaning Services

Many moving companies offer end-of-tenancy cleaning services to ensure your old property is left in good condition. The cost for professional cleaning services usually ranges from £100 to £300, depending on the size of the property.

Tips to Save on Moving Costs

1. Declutter Before You Move

Reducing the number of items you need to move can significantly lower your moving costs. Consider selling, donating, or disposing of items you no longer need before the move.

2. Compare Quotes

Obtain quotes from multiple packers and movers to ensure you get the best deal. Look for detailed quotes that outline all potential charges to avoid any surprises.

3. Book Early

Booking your move well in advance can help you secure better rates and ensure availability, especially during peak moving seasons.

4. Choose Off-Peak Times

If possible, schedule your move during off-peak times to take advantage of lower rates. Moving during weekdays or in the winter months can result in substantial savings.

5. Pack Yourself

If you have the time and resources, consider packing your belongings yourself. This can save on labor costs, though you may still need to purchase packing materials.

Conclusion

Understanding the various factors that influence packers and movers' charges in the UK can help you plan and budget more effectively for your move. By considering the distance, volume of belongings, type of services, timing, and accessibility, you can get a clearer picture of potential costs. Additionally, being aware of additional expenses such as insurance, storage, and cleaning services will help you avoid unexpected surprises. With careful planning and by following our cost-saving tips, you can ensure a smooth and cost-effective relocation experience.

Chapter 7: Moon and stars.

I descend the staircase and find Mari cleaning the kitchen. “KRISTUS KAIKKIVALTIAS! You look terrible!” She gasps upon my entry. I’m wearing Ville’s shirt and underwear again. There have been moments where I have contemplated giving up lace panties forever in favour of his damned comfortable boxers, but gorgeous lingerie is often part of the foreplay. “Cheers, Mari…” I mutter, feeling even more like shit. “I’m sorry, sweetie, you are just too pale! Let me get you something to eat.” She offers me a multitude of fancy breakfasts but my stomach turns at the mention of them. In the end I agree to toast and a glass of orange juice, as the mere mention of tea has me heaving. How strange; there is little that rivals my love for tea. Perhaps I have a stomach bug. I eat half of my toast, make excuses and settle for a warm soak. The lavender bath salts seem to ease my stomach and relax me. I style my hair, throw a dress on, put on some light makeup and feel well again.

I arrange plates and cutlery on the dining table. Being too sick to cook today, I reheat a beef and red wine stew I made two days ago. I add a bit of blood to Ville’s portion followed by a bit of cornflour to thicken it up. As I am placing the plates on the table, Ville walks in. I breathe slowly, taking in his tight leather jeans, and the delicious part where his legs meet and the fabric stretches to contain him. I take in the pale strip of his stomach on display with a little flash of his pelvic heartagram tattoo. I follow the hem of his shirt up; a Type O Negative shirt with two topless women embracing and making their ‘O’ faces. I feel a little twinge between my legs thinking about Ville’s O face. My eyes follow the milky skin along his neck, over his Adams apple, to his jawline, carved by the gods. Those plump pink lips, slender nose, cheekbones, and shining twinkling eyes of gardenia. I am lost in him and in awe of his beauty. “Good evening, rakkaani” he pads forward and kisses the top of my head. We sit opposite each other and Ville eats hungrily. I eat a couple of bits of beef, but again find that I don’t really feel hungry. I use my cutlery to play with the food on my plate; trying to give him the impression that I am eating, but he picks up on my behaviour quickly. I tell him I don’t feel hungry and he doesn’t pry further. When he has eaten, I spontaneously stand and place my palms on the table. My knees follow and I crawl to him like a feline stalking her prey. He looks surprised as I lean forward to aggressively bite his bottom lip. “Ouch!” He snaps. I dig my nails into his shoulders and move to bite his neck, suddenly overcome with lust. “Fuck, baby, stop!” He commands and pushes me to arms length. “Don’t you want me?” I purr, reaching one hand down to stroke the length of his cock through his tight jeans whilst the other fumbles with his belt. He grabs my wrist “No. Not here.” He whispers, angrily. “What’s the matter, baby? I know you want me”. He holds my shoulders at arms’ length. “This isn’t like you, what’s going on? You’re being aggressive…”

Feeling utterly rejected, I flinch, swing my legs to the side and climb off of the table. Tears start to well in the corners of my eyes. “Just tell me you don’t love me.” I say indignantly, knowing that I am being unfair to him, unable to look up from the floor. He slams his fist on the table in frustration and I jump. “Don’t… don’t fucking question my love for you. It’s not fair…” the tears roll out of my eyes and down to the floor, and I start to shake. I am scared to look at him. “I didn’t mean to…”. He gets up immediately trying to make amends for his outburst, “I’m sorry…”. He takes a step towards me and I step back. “It’s fine. I need to go”, my voice breaking as I turn to leave and run up the staircase. I make it to Ville’s room, throw myself on his bed and break down. My face buried in his pillow; my tears dampening his bed linen. He has never shouted at me like this before, but I am more so hurt by the rejection. The fear that he will wake up, realise I am nothing special, and discard me like a bloodless body. I cry harder.

I feel the bed creak and lower, and an arm wrap around me. My body stiffens but Ville kisses my shoulders, my arms. “I’m sorry… you didn’t deserve that”. Through my tears I sigh, “You were right, I wasn’t being myself.” I say solemnly. “Even so, I should never have shouted at you. It just… I feel like I need to explain why I got so angry. Will you please look at me?” I roll over apprehensively to meet his eyes, ever beautiful and green. I kick myself for crying, and imagine I look like a puffy pink mess. He wipes at my tears with his thumbs as he cradles my face. “Come… sit up.” Begrudgingly I allow him to pull me up, and sit with my back against the headboard. He puts his hands in my lap, palms up, and I put my hands in his. His thumbs run reassuring circles over my knuckles. He takes a deep breath and launches into his explanation. “I had an ex girlfriend, Jonna, who used to accuse me of not loving her every time she didn’t get her way. She would use it as a weapon to get me to do things that I didn’t want to do. If I didn’t want to go to a party with her friends, she would say it was because I didn’t love her. If I didn’t want to get blackout drunk with her, I didn’t love her. It was exhausting.” he reminisces, sadly. “I’m not Jonna…” I whisper without looking up from our hands. “No” agrees Ville “You’re not. You’re kind, and thoughtful, and funny…” he kisses my hands “…and I will love you throughout this life and the next.” I look up and smile weakly, and start to feel faint. I can feel bile rising from my stomach and bolt to the bathroom. Ville follows and holds my hair back as I retch over the sink, and helps me back to the bedroom when I am done. “You didn’t eat at dinner” he says, more observant than I give him credit for “You need to eat something to settle your stomach.” I sigh “I know, I just don’t really feel myself. The thought of food alone makes me feel sick…”. “Then we’ll get you to a doctor”, Ville interjects, “I have a private doctor who could probably fit us in tomorrow evening…” he says, standing. “No, Ville, it’s fine. I’m still registered with my old doctor. I’ll go there tomorrow morning. That way I’ll get seen quicker.” I decide “You’re sure?” Ville says, brows furrowed, looking concerned. “Yes” I say, but he doesn’t seem convinced “I’m sorry I was… aggressive… my mood has been a little bit all over the place the last two days… it’s probably a hormone imbalance or something.” He lies facing me and strokes my hair, “You seem so sad. What is upsetting you? Please let me take it away.” I breathe deeply. “Ville… I love you… but I don’t have a life outside of you, and that is… well, it’s frightening. I don’t exist outside of you, and if one day you feel like it’s not working out, I will lose everything. My best friend, my love, my home, my purpose; and I think a loss that great would kill me.” He holds my hands in his again and commands my gaze with his intensely calming eyes. “I have never felt this way before, nor will I ever feel this way again. I am yours. Completely. Body and soul… assuming there is a soul there” he laughs briefly, “I won’t ever turn you away. In fact, it is I who fears losing you. I am terrified of you realising how much better you can do…” he blinks as if to halt tears. “…what can I do to fix this?” he begs. I take a moment to establish what I want. “I want to go to Finland, Ville. I want to leave London. I want to travel, find purpose… it is not enough that we love each other. I need to begin to love myself again.” He nods “We will go to Finland” he promises. I kiss him lightly on the cheek “Kiitos, rakkaani” I say, thanking him. He smiles “Your pronunciation is really good, you’ll fit in with us Finns easily.” I smile back and drift out of consciousness.

When I wake it is 7am and I continue to feel even more like death. I call the medical practice and ask to be seen today. They are hesitant as always, probably busy blah blah, but oblige when I describe my symptoms. I am relieved to get an appointment but also scared; what if it’s something bad? I get out of bed and trudge slowly to the bathroom. I still look pretty pale which really highlights the dark circles around my eyes. Great. I brush my teeth, floss, and have a quick body shower. I return to the bedroom to get dressed in one of Ville’s shirts and a pair of black skinny jeans. I walk downstairs slowly, preparing myself for Mari’s over concern.

Predictably, she is not afraid to tell me I look like shit. Damn these Finns and their brutal honesty. I ask her to make me something plain and she delivers with pancakes. They are a bit sweeter than I expected but I surprise myself by eating three; it seems the lack of consistent food and vomiting has left my stomach empty and increased my appetite. I still don’t feel like drinking tea so I opt for warm water instead and thank Mari as always for her kind hospitality. I pack some essentials: phone, bank card, ID into a handbag, grab a jacket and stroll outside. Sure enough, Elias is parked in the courtyard outside Ville’s home. I knock his window and he rolls the window down “Are you… always here? Do you ever get a break?” Elias laughs. “Usually whilst Ville is sleeping, where did you want to go Miss?” I feel guilty “I… um… could you take me to a park or something? With a cafe? I feel like fresh air and a walk would do me good, and I could get a drink after…” Elias of course accepts the request, before opening my door for me. I opt to sit in front and tell him Ville and I are thinking of going to Finland. I try to pry about what Ville’s life in Finland is like. He seems uneasy, and gives me very little back. However, when I switch the conversation to Ville’s parents he brightens, reassuring me that they are very kind and accommodating people. That’s nice, at least.

He drops me off at a park with lots of greenery, a kids play area, some benches and a small cafe. He insists on waiting for me even though I tell him I might be a while. I walk into the cafe and it is quiet. There are a few older couples having afternoon tea. I smile politely and do my best to look like a mentally well person who has her shit together. I purchase a hot chocolate and a little cake, and sit outside. I hold the cardboard cup between my palms and sip my warm drink. Autumn is here and it is colder; this is actually great because it means that the nights are getting longer, which of course means more time with my love. I watch children playing on swings and climbing frames in the playground and smile. It would be nice to have children. Maybe this could be something to discuss once we are settled in Finland, assuming his parents like me. My mind wanders thinking about how I can impress his parents… I don’t want them to think I’m some weirdo with a vampire fetish. Then again, Ville’s dad does run a sex shop… I’m sure he’s seen stranger things. I pop back into the cafe to order a simple coffee. Elias seems like a coffee guy. I head back and ask Elias to take me to the medical surgery. He does so without asking me why. He’s a good guy: private; respectful.

I sit in the waiting room with one headphone in. My sweetheart is singing about being buried alive by love, whilst I nervously tap my fingers on my knees. The doctor calls me in and asks me what the problem is. “Um… I’ve not been feeling myself lately. My appetite has reduced, I feel lethargic and weak. At first I thought it was a lack of vitamin D or iron or something, but I’ve been taking supplements. Oh, um, my mood has been a bit up and down and I’ve thrown up a few times…” she listens to my monologue patiently. “Okay, and when was your last period?” Silence. “Oh, um… I don’t know, er…” I think back to the last time I remember; Ville’s bloody fingers in the kitchen. “… a couple of months maybe? Is it hormones? Am I going through early menopause?” The doctor’s lips purse and I can tell she is trying not to laugh, which makes me all the more stressed. “No, not at all. Miss, have you thought perhaps you might be pregnant?”

My heart beats fast and loud until it is the only thing I can hear. The thumping in my ears. I can see the doctor’s lips moving, but I cannot focus and I cannot hear a word. Pregnant? I start to feel faint again. The doctor hands me a plastic cup filled with water and some paper towels. “When were you last sexually active?” she asks. “Oh, I… um, the day before yesterday” I admit, embarrassed. She hands me a rectangular package and explains what I need to do. I sit in the bathroom cubicle and pee on the stick. While the results are developing I try to breathe deeply and calmly, I try to distract myself with happy thoughts, thoughts of Finland. Nothing is working. I brave a look at the stick in my hand and see two lines. Positive. I am pregnant with Ville’s baby. I burst into tears. I am in shock and disbelief, I am scared and not sure how to feel at all.

I return to the examination room with puffy eyes and show my doctor the stick. Tears start to roll out of my eyes again. “Are you okay? How is the relationship with the father?” She asks. “Great” I smile through tears “He’s gentle and he’s loving…” I stare wistfully out of the window. “Does he want children?” She pries. “More than anything” I say, smiling, but continuing to avoid eye contact. “And you… do you want children?” I turn to look at her, her brow furrowed in concern. “Yes” I smile, and continue to cry. She gives me a hesitant hug to comfort me. “In that case… congratulations!” she smiles. I return her smile, sniffing and dabbing at my eyes with tissue. She prescribes me pregnancy vitamins and gives me advice regarding morning sickness. I am told that I must eat when I get up, to force the sickness away, and to stick to plain and tasteless foods when nauseous. I am given advice about foods and activities to avoid when pregnant. “You can still have sex, in fact it can help baby to move a little quicker when it is time for them to come out.” She laughs. I smile, and thank the heavens that sex is still on the table, because resisting Ville in his low rise jeans and “fuck me” tattoo is futile. I thank her for the emotional support and am told a midwife will be in touch.

The cold air on my skin is soothing when I step outside. I close my eyes for a moment and let the wind calm me. I walk down the path to Elias’ car and get in, realising I forgot his coffee somewhere between the cafe and the medical centre. Oh well, I tried. I tell him I’d like to go home and we sit in complete silence. I spend the entire 50 minute journey inside my own head. I think about how Ville will take the news, what having a family will look like… and then I start to panic. The baby is half vampire. I shut my eyes and bite into my lips to keep the panic attack at bay. Elias thankfully doesn’t seem to notice. By the time he pulls into the courtyard, I realise the sun has just set. Ville will be awake. I thank Elias for his help today and walk hesitantly to the door. I unlock it and step inside. I can’t see or hear Ville so I head upstairs. My legs feel like they are made of lead and I again focus on steadying my breathing and taking the staircase step by step. Ville isn’t in his room and I breathe a sigh of relief. I kick off my dr martens and release my legs from their prison of skinny jeans. In nothing but Ville’s KISS shirt and my underwear, I sit on his window ledge and stare out at the sky, wondering what to make of how significantly my life has changed in the past year. I hear the click of the bedroom door and take a deep, steadying, breath. Here we go…

The lights are off; the moonlight glistens highlighting my silhouette, drawing Ville’s attention. My eyes are wide, my lips part. I am anxious but his presence calms me. His hair is an unruly ocean of waves. His green eyes hypnotic and reassuring and pure. Skinny jeans and some sort of band shirt, as usual. He sits on the window ledge, facing me. “Good evening, rakkaani” he leans in to kiss my forehead gently; the gentle smack of his parted lips warming me, “Did you see the doctor?” My lips part but I cannot speak, frightened of the weight of my words. I look up at him hesitantly and bite my lip so hard it begins to bleed. He leans in to lick my lip and places his hands gently on my shoulders, “Baby, what’s wrong?”

I take a long, drawn out breath. “Ville… I’m pregnant.” His eyes widen “W-what?” He whispers. “We’re… w-we’re, um, we… we’re having a baby” I say, barely audible. He stands and buries his face in his hands.

My heart sinks. He’s upset. He’s disappointed. He doesn’t believe me. He doesn’t want the baby. He’ll ask me to leave. He…

Ville falls to his knees before me, tears in his eyes. “I’m going to be a… dad?” His voice breaks. I nod eagerly, my own tears pouring out of my eyes and down my face, and join him on the floor. He grabs my waist and pulls me into his lap, my knees resting on his hips. He sobs into my chest. Taking a sobering breath he kisses me sweetly and presses his forehead to mine, our tears pooling at our chins and falling into our laps, like little diamonds falling from the sky. “You have blessed me with the most wonderful gift. You are my everything, rakkaani, I can never repay you for all the love and light you have brought into my life” he smiles through his tears. I cup his face with my hands, wiping his little wet dewdrops with my thumbs, running them through the tiny spikes of stubble. “YOU have blessed ME” I tell him, grabbing his hand in mine and guiding it to my stomach. He caresses my very small bump and chuckles “Hi little one! It’s Daddy!” his grin is bright and infectious, and he giggles like an excited child “Tell Mummy she is perfect, and Daddy is going to marry her”. His eyes move to mine. “W-what?” I whisper. “Marry me, rakkaani, I can’t live without you. You are my purpose.” I smile, shyly and lean forward to hold my stomach… “Baby says Daddy needs to do better than that. Mummy deserves a grand gesture!” I chide. He laughs out loud “Little Love, tell your mother the moon and the stars are hers soon enough. I will take on this challenge and I will amaze her!” We both giggle, giddy with excitement, “Now we really do have to go to Finland….” he smiles “…we have to tell my parents.” I look down, nervous, “I hope they like me” I whisper. “How could they not?” He says reassuringly. “Thanks… Daddy” I tease. His face changes and he looks at me sternly and seriously “NEVER call me that during sex!”. His grin returns and I laugh so hard I cry.

Achieving an Amazing Move Out Clean Using Professional Services

Moving out of a rental can be an incredibly stressful process. Not only do you have to find a new place to live, you also have to find a way to get your old property looking the way it did when you first arrived.
