Note: Just wanted to say thank you to darkVlight for the review. I am always happy to hear what you have to say.

The two walked into the kitchen. Derik sat down at the table and Melinda walked to the sink and washed her hands. Derik found himself staring at Melinda; he was always so captivated by her, even when she was washing her hands.

"I hope you don't think that I am making you lunch." She told him.

"Well, I would make it myself but this is not my house and I don't know were any thing is." He replied looking up at her as she turned around.

"Fine…What would you like for lunch?" She asked in a fake cheery voice.

"Peaking duck, with mash potatoes and green beans." He told her.

"Smart ass." She told him half laughing. "I am not making you peaking duck."

A big smile crossed his mouth when he heard her laugh. "Anything would be wonderful."

"Okay, how about a turkey and ham sandwich." She asked walking to the refrigerator to grab the ingredients.

"Sounds wonderful."

"So, what do you want on it."

"Everything…and thank you."

Melinda made the sandwiches and sat down at the table. Derik stared at her as she ate. Every time he was around her all he could do was stare. She was just so beautiful, and her eyes were amazing. He felt like he could look into them forever.

Melinda looked up and saw that Derik was staring at her. It seemed like every time she looked at him he was staring at her. Did…no, there was no way. Maybe….well….maybe he did like her. But if he did then why was he always an ass. Yeah at one time she really liked him but that was years ago. God he was still staring.

"What, do I have something in my teeth?" She asked.

Derik looked down embarrassed she had caught him staring at him again. "Ah….No…I was….I was just thinking." He told her.

"Yeah I…" Melinda was cut off by a noise in the other room. "What the hell was that…I will be right back." She told Derik. Melinda stud up and walked out of the room. However she was not expecting what she saw.

In front of her stud a demon. He was very tall and his skin was blue, with big black eyes. Unfortunately Melinda's surprise left her open for and attack. After she had come around the corner the demon was close, and he smacked her causing her to fly across the room and hit a wall.

Derik watched Melinda as she walked out of the room to investigate the noise she had heard. Once she was out of the room her grabbed his sandwich and took a bit. A minute later he heard a very loud crashing noise. Derik quickly go up and ran the same direction Melinda had only a minute walked down. As he came around the corner and saw the demon walking towards Melinda. The demon then suddenly burst into flames.

Derik quickly ran to Melinda's side she was past out. He picked her up and laid her down on the couch. She finally started to wake up. She blinked her eyes and looked up at him.

"Wait, what happened? Where did the demon go?" She said as she sat up.

"Oh, don't worry I vanquished him. He must have hit you when he came around the corner, so when you hit the wall you pasted out. When I heard you hit the wall I came running and I killed the demon."

"Well, then I guess a thank you is in order."

"No, its not."

He was just happy that she was alive. When he came around the corner and saw her lying there he was worried she was dead, his whole heart just seemed to stop. He had to tell her how he really felt before he busted.

"Melinda…um…well…there's….there's some thing I need…um…I need to tell you." He told her. He was so nervous he thought he would pass out.

"Well spit it out." She told him.

"Melinda I…"

P.S. Now that you're done why don't you review.
