Chapter 7: Ring, Ring, Phone Calls Ruin.

A bright ray of sunlight made it past my tightly drawn curtains. The city sounds of cabs and cell phones filled the air. Cracking open one eye, I glanced at the clock. Six fifty-nine. Seven.

The soothing female voice of the radio show greeted my ears in a cheerful manner. "Good morning, it is now seven o'clock. You just tuned into the eight out of ten songs in a row. This is How Did I Fall In You." A piano sequence began playing a soft, sad melody.

"What can I do to make you mine? Falling so hard, so fast this time. What did I say, what did you do? How did I fall in love with you? What can I-... d-d-d... tzzz..." I flung the alarm clock to the side angrily. It made cracking sound as it fell to the floor. Perhaps that was the sound of my heart last night.

"That is some fucked up shit. Damn boy band. Who the fuck are you to tell me what love is." A moist substance clouded my eyes. My hand reached up and tears fell. The tears fell like rain on a cloudy day. "What the hell is the matter with me?" I whispered as I wiped my face against my pillow.

My nose caught the faint scent of Duo. It lingered on the clothes he had lent me. I took a deep breath and imagined his face. "Mmm...-No! Stop," I growled, trying to regain control of myself. I stripped the tainted clothes from my body and threw them on the hardwood floor.

I stood naked inside and out. I did not trust that man. Containing any feelings left, I took a quick shower then slipped into more comfortable clothes, jeans and a tee. I grabbed a cereal box and a spoon then sat in front of the television. Switching it on, I flipped through the channels mindlessly and chomped on the crunchy pieces of sweetened grain.

I yawned and before I knew it I fell into another slumber. Dreams came to me, flashes of last night.

Blood and sweat, Duo in punk, Duo with Ville, the good two shoes and me... what have I done?

A confusion filled my head. I was never truly confused.The life of a vampire is very simple if you let it be. However, it seemed that my human side had been acting up recently especially when Duo finally talked to me. It was like a blessing from God or whoever is the fuck up there.

Ring. Ring. The phone rang.

My hand slowly moved towards the piercing sound. I sniffled a yawn then said faintly, "Hello?" A high voice much like my phone sweetly asked, "Where have you been? It's two o'clock already!" My eyes snapped open. Two? Have I slept that long? It seemed like the taste of last night was still upon my lips.

"I have been busy," I lied. There was no reason she should know all I've been doing is sleeping. A soft beeping sound and a blinking red light indicated that someone was calling. "Hey, can I get back to you? There's someone on my other line."

"Heero?" The voice was so beautiful it could only be one person. Duo Maxwell, my vampire god. My heart pounded hard and sweat made the phone slippery. My voice was caught in my throat. What was I suppose to do? Lust filled my heart and fury filled my mind. Tell me, what was I suppose to do?

I bit my lip and listened to the breathing on the other end. It was slightly heavy. "Heero, are you there?" I made a little beep noise. That's what I did. Maybe he'll leave a message. "Oh, I got your machine. Well, I just wanted to ask you why you ran off yesterday. I haven't stopped thinking about you since you've seen in my bedroom. Remember? We fucked like hell, I don't even know. That was the best sex I've ever had! Please call me back... call me, babe!" Click. The end of the call.

I swallowed my pride, my dignity, my everything. I wanted him so much! No.He betrayed me. We can't work. I am going on a date with what's her name... ahem, Relena. I switched lines and said firmly, "I will pick you up when light fades to darkness and our kind walks the earth. See you then." I ended the conversation quickly and sighed.

Falling back on my bed, I shut my eyes to catch a few more hours of sleep. But as fate would have it, another ring filled my ears. I ignored it and let it go to my machine. I really didn't feel like talking to anyone right now. My human side, the weaker side, was overwhelming me. To Duo, I was just a whore. No worse than that, I was a free fuck.

"Uh, hi, this is Duo again. I want to tell you to, please please, forget about what I said on the other message. I didn't mean it like that. I mean, you know, I really like you. I mean really really. I'm just... stupid! Give me another chance! Meet me at my house tonight, please..." I could almost make out his sparkling purple eyes luring me in. I wanted to say yes, pick up the phone and scream yes to him... but I didn't. "My house tonight, okay? Okay. Bye." Click.

Oh dear god, with a confused Duo too! He is absolutely going to confuse me. I think Russia could've heard my heart from all the way over here. There was a hard choice to make. I am so convinced that perhaps Duo had never meant me any harm... but the fact is he did hurt me. And Relena had been there for that night.

I looked at my left hand, Relena. She reached out towards my human side, sweeter and softer, more subtle. One more thing is she's just like me. Half breed, daywalker, halfling, any insult they threw at me before they threw at her as well.

One the other hand stood Duo. I'd give anything to be his only. However, vampires especially Duo tend to not lean towards the coupled life. They will always have many mistresses on the side. They took pride in the other lovers in their life as Duo must have. He stood tall, apart, alone yet so, I don't know. There is no word, so perfect. He stole my heart as well as many other vampire, male and female. And here he stood, asking me to come to him.

It may seem like an easy decision but trouble settles heavily on my heart. I do not think I could bear the thought of Duo hurting me so easily again. But I do not want to just settle down with any person. I want the thing humans life for... true love. Will it be the one I lust for or the only that I will grow to love as time flies by?
