Hey don't get put out and stop reading because of the last chapter! It gets good, trust me! I'm a very fast poster, so expect maybe at least a few more chapters today (maybe the big bang one; yes, I read your review!) : ) – Arietty

Josef woke up, his freezer extra freezing. He sat up, and pushed out the top, grabbing a towel from the table next to it. He wrapped it around himself, and went downstairs. He grabbed a carton on blood out of his fridge, and poured it into a glass. He turned, and took a sip from it, realizing two eyes were watching him. Josef blushed, his cheeks flaming up. Beth looked down, and giggled nervously.

Josef secured the towel around him and said, "Just woke up, you know." Beth rolled her eyes and continued working on her laptop. Josef suddenly remembered last night, and felt depressed. No wonder Beth looked to down. Josef walked behind Beth, and observed what she was working on. Suddenly, she got up.

"I'm off to work." She said, and grabbed her coat any keys. Suddenly, Josef grabbed her arm. Beth looked back at him. "What?" She asked, and he shook his head.

"Do you think I'm going to be stupid enough to let you go back to work?" He asked, faking a hurt tone. Beth looked at him, startled.

"I have to work!" Beth said childishly, and Josef smirked.

"Yes, you will work, but you're not going to work." Josef said, spelling it out for her. He gestured to the laptop. "That's why I brought that home."

Home. Beth thought. It sounds so cozy. She shook her head, and responded, "What, I'm supposed to not get fired?" She asked, though she knew she was fighting a long lost battle.

"No, I called in and said you were seriously sick. They believed me, of course." Josef gave Beth a look as if she had suggested that he was unbelievable. Beth dropped her keys, and Josef let go of her.

"So, what am I going to do while you're off at work?" She asked, running her fingers through her hair. Josef looked at her, surveying her. Beth understood.

"You're not going to work either, are you?" Beth asked, and her heart swooped. Josef smiled crookedly at her, and took a swig from his glass. Beth felt exhilarated. Josef walked past her.

"I'm going to put something more suitable on." Josef said, pausing at the bottom of the stairway. "You're bedroom is down here; I put you're things in there." He gestured to the door next to the stairs, and started to ascend. Beth nodded, and walked into the room. A bed was in the center of the dark room, a window was on the wall, and a mirror and dresser was across the bed. Beth looked into the drawers to find her things in there, neatly organized. She smiled, and pulled on a red tank top and loose black sweatpants that stopped a little after her knees. She let her hair down.

When she exited, Josef was standing in the living room, his dressy shirt a dark blue, and his pants were (of course) black. Josef turned to her, and looked her up and down.

"You look...nice." He managed, and drained the rest of the blood from his glass. Beth smiled, and poured herself some water.

"So, what's on the agenda today?" Beth said, sipping her water. She sat down at a desk near the television, and started typing on her own lap top.

"Work." He replied, and Beth clicked her tongue. "How boring!" Beth cried, putting a hand to her head. Josef cracked a smile, and looked up at her.

"You were just sprinting out of here to go to work. Unless you just wanted to be away from me." Beth placed her glass of water on the desk and smiled at him seductively like she had once to Mick when she was high on the crystal, and Josef walked over to her slowly. He leaned over the desk, so that his face was a few inches from Beth.

"I'm not going anywhere." Beth said, batting her eyelashes. Josef smiled ruefully.

"Good to hear." He replied calmly, though that was the exact opposite that he felt. Josef started to lean in, but Beth pulled away. He walked around the desk, and Beth spun eagerly in the chair, facing him. Josef placed his hands on the arms of her chair, and Beth breathed sharply.

"I won't bite." Josef whispered; he'd never damage that flawless skin. Instead, he brought his lips down to her throat, and kissed the base of her neck. At once, he heard Mick screaming in his head YOU PROMISED ME! But he didn't care. Josef kissed up Beth's neck, and finally got to her lips. He kissed her there, and Beth wrapped her arms around his neck. It was a good thing Josef drank all that blood earlier, or he wouldn't be able to resist.

Beth opened her mouth, and Josef gladly slipped his tongue in, and he moaned heartily. Sure, he had done a lot more with women, but Beth was different. Beth pulled back, and said, "What about the whole 'forgetting it' thing?" Josef smirked and shook his head.

"To hell with that." He muttered throatily, and placed his lips on Beth's cheek, and then tracing his lips on her face.

Josef leaned down and licked her lips. Beth ran her fingers through his short hair, and kissed Josef's neck.

Josef pulled back, and lifted Beth from the chair. He hitched her legs to his waist, and pushed her up against the wall. She stroked his hair, and he kissed the skin below her neck.

She slid down the wall, and kissed his chin. Josef was in heaven; he was ready to take Beth. The phone suddenly rang, and broke the two out of their moment. Josef groaned and reached behind him, grabbing the phone. Beth was pecking kisses on his neck, but he managed to say "Hello?"

"Josef." It was Mick. Reflectively, Josef jumped out of Beth's embrace.

"Mick! What's up, buddy?" Josef said nervously, almost afraid that Mick knew whose tongue was just in his mouth. Beth's eyes widened and she took a step back from Josef.

"I wanted to check up on you. How's Beth?" Mick asked, and Josef breathed jaggedly.

"Beth's fine." Josef replied, and Beth smirked. Josef hooked his arm around her waist, and spoke to Mick.

"I'm pretty busy right now, actually. I'll call you later." He hung up on Mick, and turned to Beth. Beth stood away from Josef and glanced out the window.

"Where were we?" Josef asked, and touched her cheek. Beth sighed.

"Josef, that was wrong. We shouldn't have done that." She said, wringing her hands.

Josef didn't want to agree, but he knew he should. He nodded, and stepped away from Beth.

"Well, I have to work" She said, and Josef put on a pouted face. Beth laughed, and punched his arm. She walked back over to the desk, and sat down. Josef grasped his bloody drink, and took a sip.

"You're a better kisser than I would have assumed." Josef said, and Beth rolled her eyes.

"Savor the memory, because it won't be happening again soon." She replied, even though she wished it would. Josef turned from her to hide his face. He poured more blood, and thought about the kissing.

"This is going to be a fun week." Josef said.

So did you enjoy that?? Haha, I think this was a little to fast to put in the story, but I couldn't wait around until the week ended. Next chapter, there'll be a party, and more kisses, but that's all I'm giving away. REVIEW, loves!
