"Maki?"

Maki looks over at Karin, raising an eyebrow. The vampire curled her hair, half of it pulled into an up do, bright, flashy purple lipstick and eyeshadow and a neon yellow dress that accentuated her curves.

"Earth to Maki… Who are you and what have you done with my friend?" Karin teased. "You're supposed to tell me what kind of girls Winner likes."

"Right." Maki nods, flashing a fake smile.

"Well…"

Maki flashbacks to what Anju had told her yesterday. The monotone vampire recited all she had discovered about Maki's crush: Winner Sinclair.

"My brother had followed him home last night and noted that his heart beat increased when around quiet humans."

"And?" Maki asked disinterested.

"That he has an affinity toward humble women."

"He likes loud and boisterous girls." Maki lied.

"Is that so?" Karin smiled. "Okay, I'll be louder then!"

There were three loud knocks and Karin hopped in surprise. "Oh! That must be him! I'll get it-"

"No, don't!"

"Huh?" Karin looks at Maki confused. "Why not?"

"Uh I mean... let me get the door. Winner hates eager women."

"Oh, okay." Karin says, disappointment evident in her eyes.

Maki walks down the stairs into her living room. Winner had asked Karin out on a date to the movies. He agreed to pick her up at 8pm sharp at Maki's house. Karin explained to him that her house was under construction and that she would be staying over at Maki's house for a while. This is not true of course. A human cannot discover a vampire's coven for obvious reasons.

Maki peeks through the peephole in the door, discreetly checking out Winner. Her heart does some kind of painful flip at the sight before her. His blonde hair is combed over, but with a slight disheveled appearance despite his obvious attempt at dressing up by dressing down. He is wearing a maroon sweater, dark wash denim jeans and grey sneakers. He is holding a bouquet of red roses. Maki finally opens the door.

"Ah…" Winner states awkwardly. Maki knew they were both thinking about the kiss they had shared. Maki reveled in the fact that she could make him blush like that. Even if it was only in discomfort.

"H-hello Miss Maki."

Maki smirked at the fact that he finally remembered her name.

"Don't you look nice?" Maki smiled at Winner, stepping closer as he visibly stiffened.

"Thank you… Is uh Miss Karin here?"

"Asking a stupid question like that deserves punishment, don't you think? Of course Karin's here."

"S-sorry." Winner's eyes widen at the word "punishment."

Maki's eyes fall on the bouquet of roses. "Oh, Karin is deadly allergic to roses."

Winner's eyes widen again. "She is?!"

Maki inwardly smiled. So gullible… "Yes, she is. Her face breaks out into these huge disgusting boils." Winner looks kind of grossed out, which encourages Maki to go on. "Freaking gigantic boils bursting with puss leaking out, all over her face and neck, hands and feet…" Winner starts to look green.

"Eh… is that so?" Winner adds weakly, clutching his stomach.

"Hey listen. I don't really care more or less, but I could take them off your hands-"

Winner hands her the roses, "Consider them yours."
