She walked in with confidence, her tail swishing with her walk and a steady smile played on her lips. It was all an act. Inside she felt like jelly, she hadn't been at the firm for long and that twinned with the fact that she hadn't ever worked a case made her feel like everyone viewed her as though she wasn't up to the job. She was almost sure that they all looked down on her, well all of them except for him. He was the only one who really believed in her.

He stood on the opposite side of the room to her and had been watching the door for the last hour. The drone of his fellow lawyers just passed through his brain as he waited for her to get there. He must have gone through nearly a dozen coffees anticipating her arrival. When she finally arrived he almost couldn't think, she just looked so amazingly beautiful. She was unbelievably cute in her black cat suit complete with ears and tail, the magatama around her neck hung to create a collar.

He saw straight through her false smile, he had seen it many times when she sat in on his trials, and swiftly waltzed over to her in order to rescue her from the drooling lawyers that gazed after her.

"Hello, Kitten, well don't you look pretty." Her smiled at her and sipped at the bitter liquid in his cup.

She pawed him with a playful slap and giggled delightedly at his comment, he was the one she had hoped to impress with her racy attire.

"You look pretty okay yourself, just promise not to drink my blood" She teased.

He instinctively felt his false fangs with his tongue and laughed. He had almost forgotten his own attire; he was so concentrated on hers. He had chosen the vampire look because he had heard that vampires were sexy now, something about sparkles and a new phase in the teen world. Well, whatever it was, he looked pretty damn good, even if he did say so himself.

He leaned into her, his mouth almost on her neck, his breath tickling her delicate throat. He could hear her catch her breath and hold it nervously. He raised his head just slightly.

"I can't make any promises" He whispered softly before grabbing her hand and pulling her to the dance floor.

She laughed and glided along as he danced ballroom to a fast paced song that filled the room with howls. He was completely oblivious to the other people dancing and the blush that crept up her cheeks. He spun her gracefully and pulled her in close, his gaze fixed on hers.

He eyes flicked from Mia's for just a second but it was enough to see another girl in the corner. One that stood transfixed to the couple, a hard stare centred on him. He stepped back slowly and let go of his partner's embrace, thankful that the Thriller had just come on.

"Excuse me one minute my dear kitten but I have to take a break." He told her, trying not to see the disappointment in her eyes because he knew that it would change his mind.

Mia watched him leave with longing and sighed deeply to herself, she had thought that there was maybe something between them but now it was uncertain at best. She stared after him, not even bothering to attempt to blend in with the mass of dancers that crowded her. After feeling so full of happiness just moments ago, she felt her heart drop like an anvil as she saw him talking with another woman. Their conversation filled with passion and strong intense emotion she couldn't even tear herself away from the sight that was slowly breaking her heart. They were just friends, her and Diego, and although she had always known that she had gotten carried away tonight.

When he returned to her side, following the steps to the song as though he had never left, she forced herself to smile at him and pretend that everything was alright. But she wasn't sure, that after the night's events she would ever feel the same again.

He walked home alone, his jacket slung over his shoulder. He'd blown his chance with the girl of his dream and didn't think that she would ever forgive him. Mia had seen him fighting with his ex he was sure of it. Otherwise she would not have looked so completely distraught when he returned.

He felt like such an idiot, his heart had soared when he was with Mia and now he had to work his way back up to earn her trust. He would do it; even if it took him a lifetime to get them back to that moment. He would give his life to be lost in her eyes again.
