I woke up the next day with a smile on my face. What can I say. Life was great. I had the perfect job with the perfect guy. It's been a month since we started dating… but I could see something was bothering him… So after making love he turned as if hiding his face from me…
"Antonio?" I whispered putting a hand on his perfect naked shoulder. He didn't answer. "What's wrong?" I looked down, letting my hand fall back to my side. "Are you thinking in breaking up with me… because if that's the case." He turned so fast it made me staggered back…
"No… Is just well… I need to ask you something but I don't know how you will take it…" I stared to nervous to smile at him…
"You can tell me anything." He grabbed my hand gently pulling me towards him…
"What do you think about immortality." I giggle.
"That it sounds to good to be true." I pause staring at him. "Sooner or later you wont enjoy it." He frown.
"Why do you say that?" I smirk.
"Have you enjoy it?" He looked away from me for a moment and frown.
"I-I- was getting tire of immortality until I met you." I stared at him, curious about this fabulous men. I got closer to him, putting my head on his shoulder.
"My life was hell until I met you." He caress my hair with eyes close. He turned me in a gentle way pulling me into his lap.
"I love you." I gasp surprise, but smiled at him as I hug him.
"I love you too."
"Do you mean that?"
"Yes." He layed me down on the bed gently getting on top of me. I grinned giving him a crooked smile. He started to caress my belly and going up.
Then lowered himself and kissed my neck making me shudder.
"Let me turn you." He whispered against my neck. I gave him an involuntary kick. He didn't even flinch, but he separated a little from me and look down at me a little pained. "Is that a no?"
"Why-" I was shaking really scare… almost not being able to speak. "Why do you want to change me?" He got off me as if he jumped off and walked towards the balcony of the house…. I stood up following him, still shaking.
"Antonio?" He looked down on the balcony. He sigh feeling me behind him. He turned to look at my face…
"My family wants to meet you." I stared at him….
"And?"
"I told you… there are rules."
"But- But- We had sex." I got close to him. Almost pleading… "I'm still here."
"Yes, but they wont see that… If I take you to my family and they see your human… they try to take you away from me…" I looked down…
"Can we just keep it hidden a little longer?"
"Marissa." He said a little frustrated. "It's been a month… You been working at our company… they know something is up with us… I lie to my dad… I told him… I was going to turn you after a month…" That's why he's been weird lately… He looked in my eyes pleadingly… "Please." I turned not wanting to see my face.
"I'm scare…" He was at my side in an instant. Putting his head on my shoulder.
"It wont hurt… It's actually more pleasurable…" He turned me. His face look a little hopeful. I can even make you not think about being transformed. And when you wake up. You'll be an immortal."
"Is that easy?" I raise an eyebrow. My heart going really fast… my body was yelling at me… My heart wanted it, but my body was refusing…
"Yes."
"Will I regret it?" He turned hidings his eyes… Making me more nervous.
"Maybe…"
"Do you hate being a vampire?"
"Yes." He sigh. "I miss humanity."
"Why are you willing to take mine?" I didn't know where that question came from… but it was out. He turned almost glaring at me… making me stagger back.
"I love you. Love makes you selfish sometimes." I looked down…
"Love doesn't make you selfish… at the contrary…" I stared at him…
"I need to think about it…" He nodded disappearing. A note felt from the space where he was standing seconds before. I went towards it and pick it up.
My dear Marissa,
I love you more than you will ever know and understand.
I need to… Well I need to stalled my dad,
Don't go into the office. Just think of it as if you were fire.
I wont be coming back….. Yet…. I'll give you some time to think…
When I do come back… I would need an answer.
Please….
Antonio
I felt to my knees hurt… Antonio was right… He didn't come in weeks and I was a little afraid to go back to the office… I was standing in the balcony where I last saw him looking at the stars… Maybe… Maybe immortality wont be so bad… I bit my lips… Suddenly Antonio was at the rail making me staggered back. He gave me a crooked smile.
"Did you miss me?" I nodded. He jumped to the floor walking towards me, I took steps back… He stop frowning. "Are you scare of me?" I sigh a little relieve.
"I guess I over reacted." He smiled.
"God I missed you." He came at my side in a flash, and hugged me. I hugged him back. He put his face on my long hair and smelled my neck. "I'll miss that too."
"Antonio…" I pulled back staring at him. "I- I haven't made a decision
yet…"
"Haven't you miss me?"
"Yes… but not enough to be immortal…" He glared. I got nervous at him disappearing again so I spoke faster. "What about running away? Just to enjoy each other another month. I always wanted to go to France."
"No!" He roared. And for the first time since I met Antonio. I was scare of him… I started balking away until the rail of the balcony stopped me. Antonio turned away from me, but when he turned back his eyes were gentle. "I'm sorry." He sigh walking closer to me. "Lets go away to France." I smiled. He grabbed me and pulled me closer towards me. "But with you as an immortal. I wont risk your love again."
"What-" He bit my neck, making me yelp. I tried fighting him off, but he just pulled me closer still drinking my blood greedily… My knees gave up. He pick me up and layed me down on the blood and kept drinking… Don't get me wrong. It felt amazing… but… I couldn't think anymore I was woozy. Antonio put his finger in my mouth… Odd… After a second I tasted blood. My body swallow automatically. Crap! And everything went black…
Tomorrow I'll wake up one of the immortals….
