"Look at me." I heard hurried footsteps behind me.
"No." I walked faster, rubbing the tears that were falling from my eyes. I jerked my arm as he tried to grab my wrist. "Leave me alone, Carlos!"
"Maria, please," He begged. He grabbed my wrist again, not letting go as I tried to jerk my wrist again. I twirled furiously, looking at him with my puffy eyes.
"What do you want?!" I yelled, trying to get away again. He pulled me into his chest, not letting go as I kept weakly hitting his chest. I tried to ignore the familiar feeling of fitting perfectly in his arms.
"Calm down, please. I told you because I love you," he murmured softly. He rubbed my back, trying to calm me down. It wasn't working.
I glared up at him, tears stinging my aqua eyes. "You think that once you say oh, by the way, I m a vampire, that everything can be all hunk-dory? If so you are really naive, Carlos," I cried, hitting his chest once more before my knees buckled. He held me again his chest, leaning his head on top of mine.
"Maria, Maria, do you think me that much an idiot?" he asked. He rubbed my back slowly. "Please, Maria. I love you, please. Don t be afraid of me," he begged, holding me out at an arm's length, his chocolate eyes begging me. His long black hair was slicked sideways across his forehead, his thin lips sporting a very cute pout.
I looked down, feeling guilty. Me, Maria, the petite short, spiky brown haired girl that had bright green eyes, full lips, and a complete tomboy, had a gorgeous man. I sighed, opening my eyes, looking up at him. "I'm angry because you hadn't told me sooner, you idiot." He grinned, and I couldn't help but grin back. He leaned in, and knowing what he would do, just before he could press his lips to mine, I gently pressed my fingers to his lips. "I'm still mad at you."
"It's going to take me a while before I can kiss you again, isn't it?" he asked against my skinny fingers. I giggled, removing my fingers from his lips and leaned in to kiss him quickly.
I grinned up at him. "And I will still have my revenge," I whispered. I smiled softly, giggling when he grimaced fakely.
"Not the revenge!" he teased, scooping his arms under me, lifting me into his arms. "Marry me, Maria? Be my wife?" he asked suddenly, smiling his cute boyish smile that was impossible to resist.
I teared up, hugging his neck. "Yes!" And that's when he leaned in, and before I knew it, he gently bit my neck. He let me sip a drop of his blood. And before I knew it, I was a vampire myself. Not months after, I'd somehow become the vampire's wife.
