Still haven't got a name =( Thanks to everyone who reveiwed, I'll love you forever =)

Claire

I open my eyes and my first thought is: Wow! Last night was the best ever!

Then, of course comes: Why the hell are me and Shane in a vamp car instead of a bed?

Oh, I remember. Last night we borrowed Michael's car and went paintballing and Shane got into a fight ( how unusual, *insert sarcasm here*) with one of the non-civilized vamps so we had to leg it fast…and ended up here.

I blush as I remember him kissing my neck and slowly processing downwards…you get the idea.

Anyway, when I look at my watch and see that it's nearly 11am, I go into panic mode. Myrnin is not going to be happy if I'm late.

"Shane!" I say in his ear, shaking him. "Oy! Wake up!" I say louder when he doesn't respond.

"Wazzuma'erclaire?"He murmurs, pulling me back down until I'm lying on top of him. Again.

"Shane! I'm serious!"

But he's already asleep.

"Wake up or I'll give Michael permission to bite you!" I threaten

"Bi'mezurzef" he murmurs seductively

I lean close to him, brush my lips against his neck and when I'm sure he's relaxed, I bite him. Hard.

He bolts upright and shouts:

"Bloody hell, Claire! I was joking when I told you to bite me yourself!"

I put on my scary face and stared at him.

"Just drive, Shane. Myrnin'll kill me if I'm late."

I see his face set in that expression he always does when he's upset. Before he starts the car, I lean over and kiss him on the cheek very gently, then on his lips.

"I'm sorry babe. Last night was amazing, I love you so much."

He smiles and tries to hide it so I kiss him again, teasing him until he gives in.

"I hate how much I love you, girl, you know exactly what to do so that I can't stay mad at you…" he sings in his deep voice, pulling me into his lap.

I resist, climbing back into the passenger seat.

"No Shane. I'm serious that Myrnin will kill me if I'm late. We've got ten minutes to get home, then I can open a portal."

He sighs and turns the key in the ignition.

"Sometimes I really hate that crazy vamp." He said

I agree with him and in eight minutes, having broken at least fifteen diving rules, we're back at the Glass House.

I kiss him goodbye and, still dazed and out of breath, turn to open the portal that'll take me to Myrnin's lab.

Shane

Ugh. What is with Claire?

It's not PMS because I checked her calendar when she went off to play with the vampire crazy scientist. So what is with her?

Oh shit. I did not just think that.

Could Claire and Myrnin be…?

No. Oh no…

She wouldn't do that to me…she couldn't…could she?

An image filled my mind of my girl and her boss doing exactly what we had done last night. My vision went red. She's my Claire!

I have to find out what's going on between them. I take out my phone and dial:

"Hey Eve. Can I borrow your car?"

"If there's even one scratch on it when you bring it back, Collins, I will kill you and it will be very slow and very painful. Capiche?"

"Sure, psycho, love ya"

"Awww, I love you too arsehole"

I hang up and walk out the back to Eve's hearse.

Myrnin (at the same time as Shane's)

"Claire! You're one minute, forty-two seconds and five-hundred seventy-nine milliseconds late!" I tut at her.

"Thanks, Myr. That was really interesting." She says sarcastically.

But the only bit I listen to is her new nickname for me.

"Myr?"

"Yeah, Myr as in Myrnin or as in the three king's myrrh..."

"Hmm...I like it" I declare "It's modern and philosophical with historical roots; did I ever tell you that I have samples of the original three king's myrrh, gold and frankincense. It turns out that I have no idea why exactly they believed that baby Jesus would need those three substances..." I stop when I realise that my assistant isn't listening

"Anything on your mind, Claire?"

She jumps at the sound of her name and looks at me, obviously not having heard the question. I repeat it obligingly.

"It's...it's nothing, Myrnin...thanks for caring though"

"A thought costs nothing, my dear."

She sighs and smiles but it doesn't reach her eyes. I reach out for her without thinking and draw her close.

"Myrnin!" she protests at first then relaxes into the embrace. "This is really weird, you know"

"Tell me what's wrong, Claire. I can make it all go away...I trained as a psychologist when I was about 160...great fun even though I did have one or two...slip-ups...with some of the patients."

"I don't even want to know about that."

"Your wish is my command" I say, pulling her even closer.

Ohh...she smells good. Much better than even Ada used to when she was human. I breathe in her scent happily and feel such a wave of euphoria and pleasure that I start to feel quite light-headed. Too late, I remember I haven't drank any blood for more than twenty-four hours. My fangs come down and I press my mouth to her neck.

No! This is Claire! I can't do this! Please...don't do this says a little voice in my mind.

But she smells so good, and I'm thirsty...

Remember who she is! She's the one who cured you!

I force my fangs back into the roof of my mouth and lightly kiss her neck. I quickly push her away and swallow to keep my instincts down.

"Go! Claire, I'm sorry but just go!" I shout before rushing away to the storage room, vampire speed.

Shane

Through the window I see crazy vampire scientist and Claire locked in an embrace. Slowly, Myrnin leans his lips towards her neck and kisses her before vamp-speeding away, leaving her in the middle of the room looking confused.
