| �You don�t know how good it feels to hear you say that.� He smiled at her, his blue eyes twinkling. �You don�t know how good it feels to say it.� �Do you remember Dustin?� �The short kid who was always acting like an idiot?� �Yep, that�s him.� He laughed. �What about him?� �He�s been wondering who I was with last night. I want to tell him about us.� �You�re not going to tell him I�m a vampire are you?� she looked at him worriedly. �Of course not. He would never understand. But I want him to know about you and me.� �Well, if you want, you could bring him by one night for dinner.� �You actually eat?� �I don�t need to but yeah. The only thing I really need is blood. But once in a while I like to eat actual food.� �Are you hungry now?� �A little. I�ll find something later.� She waved it off. �No, here. Drink.� He bared his neck to her. �I don�t want to hurt you. Don�t worry about it.� �Please. You won�t hurt me. Take a little. I don�t want you to starve.� �Are you sure?� she looked at him reluctantly. �I�m positive.� �I won�t take too much. I promise.� He nodded and she lowered herself on his neck. He saw her white fangs and his heart began to beat faster. She sank them deep in his tender flesh. He moaned as a sharp pain shot through him. The pain was soon replaced with pleasure as his head spun. He closed his eyes and blacked out. He awoke again in his room at the dorm. He felt weak and he had an ache in his neck. He smiled as the memories flooded back. Looking down at his lap he saw a note. He picked it up and saw it was from Diana. Dear Tristan, After you lost consciousness, I brought you back to your room. I didn�t want you waking in a strange house without me there. Please come back tonight. I need you again. I don�t think I�ll sleep today knowing your touch is so close. Tell Dustin all about us if you wish. I will be making a nice dinner tonight. Invite him to come. I don�t want you keeping anything from your friend. I can�t wait to see you tonight. Oh and I will space the chairs as far apart as I can. I�m afraid that if I am too close to you I will be forced to take you right there much to the shock (or delight) of Dustin. I love you, always remember that. I hope you feel stronger as the day goes by. I took a little more blood than I was supposed to. I�m sorry. Well, I wait with bated breath for tonight. Goodbye, my love. All my love, Diana |
