* Please Review! Let me know what you think about Nick, the conversation between jerry and lyric and everything else!*

Lyric was coming out of her apartment as night was just starting to fall. She had the night off and was going to Jerry's place. A fair had come to town and they were going to it so she was excited. She loved fairs. She found that the more time she spent with him, the more she was starting to like him. He was a perfect gentleman and she wasn't used to that. He never tried to hold her hand and they hadn't even kissed yet although she had the feeling he wanted too. He seem to understand that she had just broke up with Nick and needed some time but the more time she was around him, and dreaming about him, the more she was wanting to kiss him. Maybe that night, she would try and get him to do it. She smiled to herself as she reached her car.

" Lyric, can I talk to you a minute?" Nick's voice made her want to roll her eyes.

" No, I'm running late." She said as she dug out her keys.

" What? Are you going to see him?" Nick asked. Lyric turned around and faced Nick quickly.

" Yeah, if you have to know, I'm going to see Jerry tonight. We are going on a date." She said.

" I don't think you should see him anymore." Nick said. Lyric laughed and shook her head.

" And why's that?" She asked.

" That guy is bad news. Do you know he tried to choke me out?" Nick asked.

" You're fucking stupid." She said as she turned around.

" I'm serious. It was outside the diner. He picked me up by my throat and there's more." Lyric sighed and faced him again.

" And what's that?" She asked.

" He growled at me and had these long teeth, like fangs." Nick said.

" Fangs?" She asked as she laughed.

" Yeah, fangs, like a vampire." Nick said.

" I'm done hearing this." Lyric said. " This is stupid. You need to go back to your wife and kids." She said as she gave him her back. She was slipping her key into her car door when Nick grabbed her and spun her around quickly.

" Lyric, listen to me." He said as he put his hand on her throat. Lyric started to struggle against him. When he squeezed his hand tighter on her throat she started hitting his chest but Nick had her pinned against the car.

" Let me go!" Lyric fought against him but Nick pressed himself against her harder.

" I said listen to me, damn it!" He hissed as he shook her.

" No!" Lyric said quickly. She pushed Nick hard then and his gripped slipped on her. " What you are saying is stupid! He's not a vampire! Now just leave me alone or I will call the cops!" She warned. She turned around and threw opened her car door. Nick was back away from her.

" Have fun getting your blood drank and your throat ripped out!" He called out. Lyric flipped him off as she drove away.

Jerry smiled up the stairs at her as she started down them towards him. He leaned forward, one hand on one railing and the other hand on the other. A scent floated down towards him, making him frown. She looked upset and her neck was red. He inhaled and almost growled when Nick's scent filled him. No wonder she looked upset.

" Are you alright, Love?" He asked.

" Can I get some water?" She asked as she reached him.

" Of course." Jerry said. His eyes went to the delicate skin on her neck. He reached up and touched the small bruise. " What happen?" He asked. She shook her head.

" It was nothing." She said. He was frowning as he dropped his hand.

" Doesn't seem like nothing." He said. " Your neck has a mark on it." Lyric sighed.

" Nick came to see me. He tried to convince me not to see you. He said you tried to choke him out and that you were some kind of a vampire." She said.

" And so he put his hands on you?" Jerry asked.

" When I told him he was being stupid he grabbed me by the neck but it's no big deal. I'm fine. I just need some water then I want to go. I just want to go and have fun tonight." She said.

" Whatever you want, Love." He said.

They walked around the fair together, talking and looking at the different things. She had grabbed his arm to pull him towards an animal she wanted to see then kept her hand looped around him. He smiled and pulled his arm against him, trapping her hand between his arm and his body then he brought his free hand up and covered hers. She sighed and slowed their walking.

They stayed close together like that as they walked around. Her right hand was holding onto his left arm, his right hand was covering hers and their fingers were laced together. She had even rested her head against his shoulder. Jerry loved the feel of her against him. Their steps were in synic with each other and they had stopped talking. They were walking around the fair, both just enjoying each other's company.

After a while, Jerry bought her cotton candy which she shared with him. She had taken a hold of his arm again and they were eating the candy together when she burst into laughter which made him smile. He looked down at her as she looked up at him. He loved to see her smile and hear her laugh.

" What is so funny?" He asked before he popped some blue cotton candy in his mouth.

" I was just thinking about what Nick said about you, that you were some kind of a vampire."

" And that's funny to you?" Jerry asked.

" Well yeah. What the hell kind of vampire eats cotton candy?" She asked. He smiled down at her as she tilted her head up to him. They stopped walking and faced each other at the same time the fair started their fireworks.

" Only meanest, cruelest vampires of them all will dare to eat blue cotton candy." He said with a smirk. Lyric laughed again.

" Really? I would have thought red would be your favorite." She said. Jerry shook his head.

" Well that shows you how little you know about vampires then." He said. She was still smiling at him as he took a step closer to her.

" And you know about them?" She asked.

" Actually, I do. I know all about them. They happen to love blue cotton candy." He said as he brought his knuckles to her chin.

" Do they now?" He nodded.

" And they aren't allowed to kiss any girls unless they are invited first." He said softly. Lyric smiled.

" So are you asking me to invite you?" She asked.

" I'm waiting until you invite me." He said. " I have been waiting for a while for you invite me to kiss you."

" Well you don't have to wait any longer." She said. Jerry smiled but leaned down. Her eyes closed as second before their lips touched.

Jerry tilted his head when she parted her lips. His tongue moved into her mouth and twisted around hers. Her tongue was tiny and soft against his. Slowly he pulled his tongue back into his own mouth. Their lips closed partly then opened again. He moved back into her mouth. Twisting tongues, pulling back, partial closed mouths, open, twist, close, again and again they worked at each other. Her small hands came up to neck. His hands took a hold of her hips and he pulled her against him. His right hand moved up her back and into the hair at the back of her head. He missed her hair, missed the way it felt against his skin and the way it smelled. He still had the braid he had cut from Elizabetha's hair. He had braided and cut some hair from all her life forms.

Open, twist, close, over and over again they made out as slowly as they could. A scent came to Jerry and made him open his eyes. He looked behind her as they kissed and smiled internally. Nick was standing with his wife and children. He was watching them while his family watched the fireworks. His face was pale. Jerry closed his eyes and pulled his attention back to Lyric when another scent went over him. She was aroused and that fueled his arousal. He was rock hard and knew she could feel it, she was pressed completely against him.

When they pulled away, her eyes were half closed. Her cheeks were flushed and her lips were slightly swollen. Her hands slipped down to his chest. Jerry put both hands into her hair and gave her a gentle, closed mouth kiss then rubbed his cheek against hers. She sighed and moaned softly. Jerry continued rubbing his cheek against her.

" Shall we leave, Love?" He whispered. She nodded.
