"Hey I'm home!" Beth said as she walked into her apartment.
"Hey sweetie!" Josh said as he came over and gave her a kiss. "How was your day?" He asked.
"Same as usually, exciting," Beth laughed. Which was very true, working at BuzzWire, knowing all the news about anyone and everyone, it was exciting! "Ohh I'm so tired though! I could sleep 'till next year if I could," she laughed.
"Well why don't we go to bed," Josh said as he started to rub Beth's back. And she knew what he meant. He wanted them to have sex. She turned around to have his face in her face, and there lips touching. And pretty soon, his tongue was in her mouth. She was actually uncomfortable with it. He lifted her up and carried her to their bed; he sat her down and started to take her clothes off. Beth was starting to feel intimate too. She started to unbutton his shirt, and slide his pants down. Until finally they were both nude. They slipped under the covers and started kissing each other romantically.
Finally after an hour or too, they were both exhausted and fell asleep. About 8 a.m. Beth's cell phone rang. She looked at the caller ID and saw it was Mick.
"Hey Mick, got any news?" She answered. "Oh great, I'll be right over." She hung up the phone and got dressed. She grabbed her phone and purse and quickly went out the door.
……………..
"I really hope we find this girl, I met up with the parents and they're really devastated," Beth said as her and Mick got into his car.
"Yeah me too," Mick said. "I don't want to upset you or anything, but what do you remember when Coralline kidnapped you?" Mick asked nervously.
Beth had to think for a minute," I remember seeing her in my bedroom, in the corner, she grabbed me, and put her hand over my mouth. I remember being at her house, seeing her as a vampire, I would cry myself to sleep every night. And then of course, I remember seeing you, come in and rescue me," Beth said as she smiled at Mick. "And who would think, years later I'd be sitting in the car with you," she laughed.
Mick couldn't help but laugh too. At that moment he felt closer to Beth, and he looked at her, and leaned it for yet again, another kiss. Then suddenly, a car honked.
"Hey dumb ass! The lights green!" A guy screamed in a junked up car behind him.
Mick and Beth looked back at him; Mick stuck his head out the window, "Sorry!" He yelled. Once again, another interruption Mick thought to himself.
………….
Finally they reached a house where the owner of the black van lived. As they pulled up, there in the drive way sat the black van.
"Ok, I'll go in and you stay here in the car," Mick said as he got out of the car. And as we was about to shut the car door, he stuck his head back in, "And I mean it!" He said. He then, shut the door, and started walking toward the house.
"Why do I always have to stay in the car?" Beth said to herself. "You know one day I'm going to make Mick turn me into a vampire so I can get into the action more!"
But Beth decided, she wasn't going to miss the action anymore, she got out of the car and ran to catch up with Mick who had already rang the doorbell.
Mick looked at her, "What are you doing?! I told you to stay in the car!" Mick said, but as he looked at the door, there stood a trashy looking guy. Mick smiled, "Oh, sorry about that, um we were wondering if you've seen this girl," Mick said as he pulled out the picture of Paige.
The guy squinted as he looked at it, "No, never seen her in my life," He said.
Mick could hear his heart beat faster. And as he was about to say something, he heard a scream coming form inside the house. He knew right away it was Paige.
The guy turned around and took a punch toward Mick, got him good in the mouth. But Mick was way stronger than him. As the guy tried to take another punch, Mick grabbed his hand and twisted it sideways, kicked him so hard, the guy flew into the wall. He was out for good now. Beth ran into the house, and found Paige in the guy's bedroom.
"Come on sweetie, nobody's going to hurt you anymore," Beth said as she picked up Paige and ran side-by-side with Mick to his car. They got into the car, and couldn't help but to smile, knowing they rescued the little girl that got kidnapped.
……….
As they pulled up to the little girl's house, the parents were on the front porch, and when they saw Paige, they ran to Mick's car. Beth opened the door and Paige came running out toward the parents. Beth got out a told the parents the story, as Mick called the Police to tell them where the house is so they could get the guy.
Finally Beth got back into the car, and drove Beth home. As they pulled up to Beth and Josh's apartment, Mick finally thought that this was the time, this was the time to kiss Beth and nobody could ruin it.
They leaned in for a kiss, and just as they thought it was actually going to happen, Beth's phone rings.
Beth rolled her eyes, "You know one day I'm going to burn this phone."
Mick laughed.
"Thanks for the ride home," Beth said as she got out of the car, answered the phone and started walking inside.
……….
When Mick got home, he was furious, and started to think maybe he's never going to get that kiss from Beth. And then Mick started going crazy, he started complaining to himself how much he hated being a vampire. He starting hitting the walls, then suddenly, he remembered.
Before Coralline was taken away, she had slipped another sample of the "vampire cure."
Mick had to do it, he wanted to be human just once more, he thought maybe if he was human, he would finally get that kiss from Beth. He ran to his bookcase, got the cure out, grabbed a knife and made a cut in his arm.
He put some of the cure into a shot, and injected it into his vein.
