Claire opened her eyes and saw a dim light in the corner of her eye she looked over to see Myrnin sleeping with his head down on his desk.

"Wait ,why is Myrnin in my room?" Claire thought, as she sat up and looked at the ceiling.

"No wait why am in his lab?" her brain queried as she looked around the fairly messy lab. As Claire stood up, all of what happened yesterday came flowing back in a big rush of feelings. She fell to the floor as tears rushed out of her eyes whilst her brain tried desperately to forget what it had just remembered. Myrnin head popped up as he heard Claire sobbing. His eyes fell on Claire and, using his vampire speed, he rushed over and hugged her.

"What's the matter did you fall of the sofa?" Myrnin asked pushing her out at arm's length and wiping away the tears that fell down her rosy red cheeks. Claire giggled through her sobbing and Myrnin smiled, brushing some of Claire's hair out of her face.

"How about we have a cup of tea to cheer you up?" Myrnin said, helping her up off the floor and leading her into the new kitchen. That was also put in by one of Amelie's people when Myrnin got cured along with many other appliances in the lab – after Bishop came through, nearly everything needed replacing. "Would you care for some breakfast milady?" Myrnin said as he placed Claire on a chair and bowed deeply to her. Claire smiled at Myrnin's silliness. As Myrnin turned around to cook breakfast, Claire couldn't help but stare at Myrnin's body and think about how hot it really was.

"Wait, what are you thinking, you just got out of a relationship" The good part of Claire said in her mind.

"So? He is hot, plus you have always had a crush on him. Now you don't have Shane holding you back and are free to do what you want for you!" the evil part of Claire replied in her mind. Claire needed to think of something else, so she said the first thing that was on her mind.

"What is the time?" Claire asked, looking away awkwardly and with a pink tint on her cheeks.

"I believe it is seven o'clock in the morning, m' dear" Myrnin answered, not taking his eyes off the toaster.

A few more minutes after they spoke, Myrnin announced that breakfast was served and brought a battered looking egg on a piece of bread.

"Um that looks yummy," Claire said, not wanting to hurt Myrnin's feelings.

"Well thank you I worked ** it" Myrnin answered as he did a little twirl in his vampire bunny slippers. Claire smiled and ate her breakfast, that was surprisingly nice. It showed that, no matter what people think, looks aren't everything.

Claire stood up after she finished her breakfast.

"Thank you so much Myrnin for putting up with my crying and letting me stay the night, but I think I should get going my friends might be worried," Claire said, washing her plate as she spoke.

"About that m' dear," Myrnin began, slightly hesitantly. "Amelie and I think it would be for the best if you stayed here for a couple of days," he continued, handing Claire his plate to wash. Well, she was his assistant… and new house guest!

"When did you discuss this?" Claire asked ,angry that she didn't have a say in the matter. However, she didn't let it show in her voice – what good would it have done?

"After you cried yourself to sleep on my sofa," Myrnin replied, and then left the room using his vampire speed. Claire rolled her eyes at this blatant disregard to the conversation and continued to clean up. "CLAIRE COME HERE PLEASE" Myrnin shouted, a few moments later. Claire followed the sound of his voice and walked through a door that has always been locked whenever she was here. But not today; today, the door was open and Myrnin was in the doorway.

"Claire this will be your room for a while since you will want your privacy plus I take it you don't want to sleep on that old sofa," Myrnin said sitting on the bed, Claire nodded; she was about to ask about her stuff when Myrnin read her mind.

"Your friend Eve brought some clothes and a wash bag, which is in the bathroom which is across the lab," Myrnin said as he pushed himself off the bed and pointed to the drawers in which her clothes were neatly folded and put away.

"Um...Thanks I guess" Claire thanked him, as she played with the hem of her black kit tank-top. Myrnin looked at Claire and smiled but then an image of her gasping on his unused bed with him on top popped into his mind. Where had that come from? Myrnin turned around to hide his dark red cheeks, whilst Claire sat down on the Stanton red sheets of the bed... a colour that reminded her too much of blood.

"Myrnin, am I ugly?" Claire asked, with her head down in shame. Myrnin was taken back at what Claire asked; no way was Claire ugly - she was like a beautiful rose that bloomed when she wore a smile, so why was she thinking this?

"Claire why do you think you are ugly? Is it because of that boy? Look Claire you have to see that he was foolish to do that to you because you are the most beautiful human I have seen in tree carpentries," Myrnin said sitting next to on the bed. Myrnin took her small hand in his big hand and held it there, feeling the warmth in her body transfer into him… making him feel more human again. Claire looked up and into his eyes , Myrnin looking back as a tear formed in Claire's eye. She hugged Myrnin and started to cry into his shoulder, Myrnin rubbing her back in sympathy and brushed back loose hair that fell in her face with the motion of the tears. After the sobbing stopped, Myrnin pushed her at arm's length. He stared into her red rimmed eyes and Claire started back into his deep blue ones – like the depths of a swimming pool… she nearly got lost in them.

"Right you need to stop moping and show him that you have handled the break up," Myrnin said, well ordered really. He pulled Claire off the bed and out the door, back into the lab.

"Where are we going?" Claire asked with a small smile on her face. Myrnin smiled, he saw it lit up her face when he glanced at hers with his sideways vision… well, he had to use it for something! But the way that he saw that his smile made her happy, made him feel happier inside than ever before… he didn't understand why; all he knew was that it was good.

"Well I hear that the movies are good, but I have never been to one so we will see," Myrnin said leading Claire up the old rickety stairs, ignoring her sounds of protest as to going to the cinema. At the top of the stairs, Myrnin stopped and waited for Claire to catch up; when she did, Myrnin held out his arm and Claire took it with no hesitation.

"Shall we be off, M' lady?" Myrnin asked, as he pushed open the old wooden door. The sun hit them and Claire breathed in fresh air letting the sun bathe her in its warm golden rays. Myrnin didn't mind the sun since he was about 900 years old and it didn't affect him. As Claire exhaled the big breath she had inhaled, something came to her mind, like a shove hitting her full on - Wait is this a date?

Hope you liked this chapter I worked hard (well sort of) any way please review and the next chapter should be up soon. O and again thank you to Vicky and Fifim077 for the help.
