going to have to ask you to move to a booth in the front.”
     Willow started to get up from her spot but I took her hand to keep her in her spot.
     “We like this booth. I think we’ll stay.”
      “I’m sorry sir, but-“
     I smiled at the girl and made eye contact. I watched as her pupils fluctuated until they were fully dilated. It wasn’t often I entered someone’s mind to get what I want but today I’d make an exception.
     “We have a reservation for the back booth, and you are going to completely forget that you asked us to move.”
    My words were more of a suggestion and her brain would process them as a memory instead of words.
      “Welcome to Franks Diner and thank you for making a reservation with us sir. Can I get you something to drink?”
     I couldn’t tell what Willow was thinking but she looked rather confused about what had just happened.
     “Water for me thanks.”
     “Alright, and for you miss?” The waitress tapped her pen against the pad of paper while waiting for Willow's drink order.
      “Um, a strawberry milkshake please.”
     The waitress nodded with a smile then handed us our menus before disappearing into the kitchen.
     “What the hell was that? You can’t just scare someone into giving you what you want.”
      “I didn’t scare her into doing anything. I simply made a suggestion.”
      “Suggestions don’t get reactions like that.”
      “Reactions like what? Did she seem scared to you?” I raised an eyebrow and watched her fiddle with the spoon in front of her on the table.
     “Well, no. She didn’t seem scared. But if you didn’t scare her into getting what you want then how do you explain her acting like everything you said to her was true.”
     The waitress came back with our drinks then disappeared back to the front of the diner.
     “In her mind it was true.” I could tell by the look on her face that I was just confusing her even more. “Look, I have the gift of persuasion. I can get into someone’s mind and suggest them to do something or think something or even remember something that never actually happened.”
     “So in other words you mind fucked her.” Her words made me choke on my water.
      “Excuse me?”
      “You mind fucked her.  You went in there, fucked around against her will and poof got everything you wanted.”
     I stared at her for a minute like she had grown a third eyeball. I guess that was one way to explain what I do. Willow didn’t seem too happy about it either.
     “You make it sound like I raped the poor girl.”
      “You did. You mind raped her and the worst part is she doesn’t even know it.”
      “It’s not like I told her to go jump off a bridge or something. She’s fine; I only got us a booth to sit at away from everyone else.”
     We sat in silence for a while. I watched her use her straw to play with her milkshake. She’d dip it in the whipped cream on top then use her tongue to lick it off. I don’t know why such a simple action had such an effect on me. My cock was pressed against my jeans and all I could think about was the things that tongue could be doing to it.
     “Could you do it?” Willow's words brought back my focus as I looked up at her.
      “Do what?”
      “Make someone jump off a bridge?”
      “It all depends.”
      “Depends on what?”
     I was about to answer when the waitress showed up again to take our orders. I got a half order of onion rings even though I couldn’t eat it and Willow got the grilled cheese with fries and gravy.
     I’ve never actually tried any of the food at the diner because I couldn’t sustain myself off food, only blood; and even trying to eat food made me sick to my stomach. The only thing I seem to have a tolerance for since turning into a vampire is water and I’ve never understood why.
      “I can’t force anyone to do anything. I can only suggest it to their subconscious. It takes a weak mind to give into a suggestion like that. I
