Alexander was in Pomona's kitchen, waiting for her to wake up. Then he heard Pomona talking to herself.
"What a strange little vampire, talking to herse- and that's exactly what I'm doing!" He sighed 'Maybe I should talk to her, see what's up, but how would I be able to do that without her freaking out?' LIGHTBULB!
He sent a thought to her: 'Pomona, I'm here if you need to talk. No fangs, no fights, no nothing.'
'Wait, where are you?'
He smiled, 'Outside your bedroom door.' He was about to knock on the door, when Pomona opened it.
"Hey." She smiled warmly. He was looking; more like starring at her. She still looked beautiful, even though her hair was in a bad ponytail, she always had been 'hair challenged' as she put it, and her chocolate brown sweatpants all wrinkled. And a plain pink tank top that was all bunched up. He could tell she had a nightmare, by the look in her eyes, where the smile did not seem to reach, and by her clothes.
"Want to tell me about it?" He said softly. She looked confused; she was unaware that he knew. "The nightmare, I mean. Look, I have known you too long. What did you see?"
He had placed his hands on her shoulders. She was starring at his left hand, while it was on her right shoulder. She was shocked by his straightforwardness, but she liked it; him being so close, touching her.
Alexander took his hands off her, thinking she did not like it. Pomona grabbed his hands and put them back on her shoulders. He looked at her at eye level, waiting for an explanation.
"It's comforting." She said nonchalantly, shrugging.
"Are you going to tell me about your nightmare?" She nodded. Pomona walked towards the bed, holding his hand, leading him to the purple and black striped bed. He sat down next to her positioned so he was facing her.
"I was on State Street, and Parker was there. She was walking- no, gliding to me. I started to run, but somehow, she was right behind me. She was about to bite my neck," Pomona now had her right hand caressing her neck, "And then I woke up. Breathing rapidly and sweat drenching my body. Oh don't worry, I showered!" She was grinning now.
"What do you think it means?" He asked with a concerned edge in his voice.
"I truly don't know, but it scared the bah-jeepers out of me." He hugged her, surprised at how comfortable he was around her. She pushed away and asked,
"Wait… what were you doing here in the first place? And do not say 'I've dropped by for a bite', you have used it excessively much! It's starting to become cliché!" He sighed,
"If you must know… I wanted to see you, and to do this." He leans towards her, closing the distance between them; the brief sensations of his lips on hers, sent shivers down her spine. The kiss was soft and sweet, and over excessively quickly for Pomona's like. After they pulled away, he put his arms around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.
"You should try to go to sleep." He said quietly, her hair muffled his voice. Alexander saw the horror in her eyes, and said to comfort her, "Don't worry, I'll be right here. I will not leave you. When have I ever left you?"
She opened her mouth to protest, but Alexander spoke before she even had a chance. "After all of our encounters, you always walked away from me. I did not follow you because that would be creepy… I'm not a stalker."
"Why were you in my house?"
He sighed, "Haven't I already told you… I wanted to see you."
"But you just saw me a few hours ago. You must have some soon after me, because, shortly following was sunrise. OW! My head hurts! I should have to think so much so close to waking up. I'm not even sure I'm awake!" She was clutching her head as if she had a brain freeze.
She soon settled down and asked, "When did you get these feelings?
"I got then soon after you were created, maybe a little before then."
"Hmm, well after that fight," she sighed, "I guess I've kind of been afraid of you."
He puts his face in his hands and shakes his head back and forth. He groans "Great, just great!" he then mumbles, "The only person I've ever loved is afraid of me."
Pomona could tell that she was not supposed to her that last part, but 'Hello! Vampire here! Heightened senses remember?!'
She then sat up straight, finally grasping what Alexander said, and raised her voice a bit,
"You LOVE me?!"
