Revenants Week, Day 5: What it’s like to date a revenant

Welcome to Day 5 of Revenants Week! Most of you (okay all of you) chose Vincent over Hank on Day 2 of Revenants Week. So now that you’re dating a revenant, what can you expect?

The following interview is from a Valentine’s Blog Event that I was asked to do for Read Me Bookmark Me Love Me. See if Vincent would live up to your expectations as your Undead Boyfriend, and tell me if you would respond to the questions the same way Kate did!

Valentine’s Day Interview with Kate and Vincent from DIE FOR ME

(Interviewers: Brodie and Lisa from Read Me Bookmark Me Love Me)

What were your thoughts when you first saw each other at the cafe?

Kate: I had this weird feeling that I already knew Vincent, although I’m 100% certain I hadn’t seen him before. I’ve felt that way before—just a few times—not just with boys, but with girls too, haven’t you? I mean…it makes you wonder if you knew them in a past life. *Sees Vincent roll his eyes.* Come on, Vincent. If revenants are possible, anything is!

Vincent: My thoughts when I saw Kate at the café? Well, I had already seen her around the neighborhood. You know, we follow everyone around—that’s what revenants do. Not in a stalkeresque way. In an “I-wonder-when-I’m-going-to-have-to-save-their-life” way. But at the café it’s the first time I knew that she had spotted me. And I just thought, “Uh oh. Here we go.” I didn’t know what was going to happen, but I knew that something would.

Vincent, if you could whisk Kate away for a romantic night anywhere in Paris, where would you take her?

Vincent: Well, on Kate’s birthday I took her out on the Seine in a rowboat. That was the most romantic evening I could think of at the time, and she seemed to have felt the same. Now, I’d like to find a roof terrace near the Eiffel Tower and take her there for the fireworks on the 14th of July (Bastille Day). There’s always this massive sound and light show that evening, and if we could have a perfect view to ourselves, with a bottle of champagne and a picnic dinner – that would be pretty much perfect.

How will you be spending Valentine’s Day together?

Kate: This year Valentine’s Day is on a school day, so nothing will happen on the day itself.

Vincent: Plug your ears, Kate.

Kate: *lifts eyebrow* *plugs ears*

Vincent: There’ll be flowers waiting outside her apartment door when she leaves for school. And Ambrose and I will be…visiting…her school the night before. Ambrose is good with locks. We’re going to stuff her locker.

Stuff it with what?

Vincent: Books—new novels that I’m sure she hasn’t read yet. I spent hours the other day at the English bookstore and bought about thirty. Oh, and chocolates. Lots of chocolates. Of course.

Kate: May I unplug?

Vincent: Of course, my dear. *winks at us and hugs Kate close, kissing her cheek*

Kate: *tries not to smile but can’t help satisfied grin. Turns to Vincent.* Your turn to plug.

Vincent: You know that Jules is volant and will tell me everything you say.

Kate: He is not.

Vincent: You’re right. He’s not.

Kate: Plug!

Vincent: *plugs ears and looks innocently at ceiling*

Kate: Vincent loves sushi. And one of Georgia’s friends works at a sushi restaurant. So I got my grandparents and Georgia to go out for the evening and leave Vincent and me the apartment. The sushi chef is going to come over and give us a sushi-making lesson. And afterwards we get to eat what we make. I’m kind of hoping the sushi chef will leave at that point. Candlelit homemade sushi dinner. It’s the best I could think of.

Vincent: *unplugs ears and turns to us?* She’s taking me to Italy, right?

Kate, how do you feel about Vincent’s immortality? Have you spoken about your future together?

Kate: Um…*flashes worried look at Vincent* Yeah.

Vincent: *is silent*

Kate: That’s not the best topic to bring up at the moment. We’ve still got some things to work out.

And how do you handle Vincent’s sexy French accent all the time without melting into a puddle of goo? Would you care to demonstrate said accent for us, Vincent? *smiles sweetly*

Vincent: Nothing would make me happier. *turns to Kate* Que puis-je dire, ma chérie, que je ne t’ai pas encore dit? Que je t’adore. Que tu es mon coeur. Que ma vie était fade avant de te connaitre.

Brodie: What did he say?

Kate can’t respond. She has melted into a puddle of goo.

Lisa: It’s a good thing I speak French. He said, “What can I say, darling, that I haven’t already told you? That I adore you. That you are my heart. That my life was colorless before knowing you. *fans self and tries not to gaze longingly at Vincent*

We have a…uh….reader-submitted question… *COUGH* Why would any girl pick Vincent when Jules is clearly the hotter option?

Vincent: Now that is an excellent question. Why would anyone choose me above Jules? They don’t usually, that’s for sure.

Kate: That’s a weird question. There’s not any competition. Vincent and I just clicked. Plus, Jules flirts with EVERYONE. He’s an equal opportunity flirt. It’s not like he’s even interested in me or anything.

Vincent:  *smiles crookedly at us* She doesn’t even see it.

Kate: What don’t I see? *looks back and forth between us and Vincent* What!

    That interview was epic, i was rolling on the floor laughing. and as for what i would say if i were asked the same questions, i wouldnt. i would be too busy staring at vincent (sighing while staring at him) and melting into a puddle of goo! but after that i would be like kate. As for Vincent, he lived up to my expectations since the first time i read about him. (*sighing dreamily and melting into a puddle of goo(even thinking about vincent is enough to make you melt, imagine if he come infront of you!)*)
