Here's chapter two. Don't forget to review!!!! –Arietty

9:00 the next Morning

Josef sat down behind his desk, observing the work in front of him. He sighed, and put his finger to his temples, and rotated them back and forth. He had been up for a better part of the night getting satisfied so he wouldn't be a threat to Beth. Well, he was always going to be a threat to her, so it was basically so he wouldn't jump her.

He didn't like this plan Mick had come up with. If it were up to him, Beth would be nowhere near him for the week. It wasn't that he didn't like Beth; that was completely wrong. He was very attracted to Beth, more than he should be. It was just that she was sort of involved with Mick, she was human, and he just couldn't have her. Josef wasn't making the same mistake he had with Sarah, especially not with Beth Turner.

Josef found himself lately (especially the last few hours) having intimate fantasies about Beth. It wasn't the ones where they just had meaningless sex (which he had had before). They were...sentimental, almost. Impossible. Josef groaned, and sat back in his chair, spinning it so that his back was facing the door of his office. He reached underneath the book case into a hidden fridge, and took a sip of blood from a carton. He heard footsteps coming towards his office, and quickly placed the carton back in the fridge, and closed it.

The door opened, and he heard a small intake of breath. "Hi." Beth's voice came, and Josef spun around in his chair. His jaw almost dropped when he saw Beth. Make-up was tastefully done on her face, and her hair was in perfect curls. Josef squirmed in his chair, trying to hide his...well, you know.

"What's up with the make over?" Josef asked coolly, the opposite of how he felt right now. Beth looked at herself in a mirror in Josef's office, and replied, "Oh, well, I'm on camera today." Josef nodded, and stood up. He heard Beth's heart rate quicken, and he smiled to himself. He walked around the desk, and leaned on it, observing Beth. Beth gulped, and looked at the floor. Josef snickered.

"You know, Beth, you're going to have to stop all of this soon." He said delicately, and Beth looked up.

"What do you mean?" She asked, scratching her neck absentmindedly. Josef rolled his eyes, and started moving slowly towards her.

"You're terrified of me." Josef responded, and Beth stepped back, her back pressed against the wall. Beth shook her head, but Josef was not convinced. He stopped 5 inches in front of her, and Beth shook her head again.

"Yes you are; I can feel it." Josef said, and traced his fingers on her cheek. Beth once again shook her head, but didn't swat away Josef's fingers; she was paralyzed. The fantasy she had had yesterday was coming back, but she felt the courage to speak.

"I just don't know you very well. I'm not scared; just...curious?" Beth spoke, eyeing Josef. He grinned, and leaned in, pressing his lips to Beth's ear.

"I have a feeling you'll know me a lot better by the end of the week." Josef whispered, and Beth's heart was racing. He smirked, and moved away from her. What? Mick said he couldn't try anything; he didn't say he couldn't toy with her.

Josef circled around his desk, and sat down. "Sit." He said shortly, and picked up a pen and signed a piece of paper in front of him. Beth hesitantly sat down in the chair opposite his desk, and he looked up at her.

"Josef, I have to be at Buzz Wire in forty five minutes." Beth said, checking her watch. Josef sat back, interlocking his fingers, and bringing it to rest under his nose. He didn't say anything. Beth looked antsy, and tried again.

"I really should be leaving just in case." She continued, still slightly shocked from the encounter. Josef nodded.

"I'm not stopping you." Josef said, and gestured to the door. "Leave."

Beth didn't move, but looked down. "Actually, Mick wanted you to drive me to work and back." Josef leaned forward again, and placed his head on the desk.

"Damn that overprotective fool." He muttered, and sighed. He didn't have the time to running the human back and forth to places. What did Mick think he was, a body guard?

Josef looked up, and replied, "Well, we better get moving. I have things to do." Beth flushed, and got up. Josef grabbed his keys, and followed her out of his office.

They got to Josef's car, and left his work. Josef, like Mick, also wore sunglasses while he drove anywhere, and reached in the compartment and grabbed them. He was irritated. Beth took a deep breath, and sighed.

"Why do you hate me?" Beth asked suddenly, and Josef looked at her incredulously.

"What makes you think that?" Josef asked, taken aback. Beth looked out of the window.

"I don't know, you just seem like you don't want to be around me." Beth said, and Josef sighed. Not for the reason you think. Josef thought to himself. He looked at Beth, and shook his head.

"I don't hate you, Beth." Josef said quietly, and made a right turn. Beth felt relieved, and asked him why he was acting the way he was.

"That's not something I feel comfortable disclosing." Josef replied, and saw the Buzz Wire building up ahead. Beth nodded, and reached underneath her to grab her bag. Josef stopped the car, and leaned back in his seat. Beth didn't get out. She stared straight ahead.

"Will you be watching me today?" Beth asked, and Josef didn't look at her. His eyes were shut, and his head was leaned back in the car seat.

"I have to work today, so I'll pick you up at four." He responded, and clicked his tongue. Beth smiled.

"No, I mean, will you be watching Buzz Wire?" She rephrased, and Josef opened his eyes. He looked at her, and grinned.

"Of course." Josef replied, warming when he saw Beth smile. She then leaned in and kissed Josef on the cheek. Before he could react, she was out of the car. She ran into the building, her blonde locks bouncing in the air. Josef stared after her, feeling the place she kissed him. He shook his head, and pulled out of the parking lot.

You know you enjoyed that. He thought, and smiled. Beth kissed him. On the cheek, maybe, but she still did. Josef knew he shouldn't be feeling this way. He knew Mick would murder him, and that it was against all of his morals to be involved with Beth Turner. Josef didn't care, however. At least not now.

When he got back to his office, Josef turned on his computer, and started typing the URL for Buzz Wire. It would be a few hours before Beth appeared on there, but he kept it there, just in case. He smiled at Beth's picture on the site, and saved it to his computer. You're obsessed! He thought, and sat down to work. A few hours later, the door to his office opened. Josef looked up and saw an associate named Brenda.

"Hello." He said lightly, looking down. Brenda looked out of breath.

"There's been a murder! It was down the street, and apparently really gory!" She exclaimed, and laughed. Josef felt suddenly alarmed. He logged back on to Buzz Wire, and Beth had started her report.

"-at this store in L.A. Apparently, the offender put a gun to the clerks head and shot him, along with six other customers. The area's been searched, but the offender can't be found. Curiously, little blood was found in the store." Josef gulped, and reached for his keys across the desk.

"Where are you going?" Brenda asked, but he ignored her. He sprinted outside to his car, and started it up quickly. He pulled out of the parking lot, making his way to Beth.

Haha, what'll happen next? Review!!!!
