Ross's POV

I was sitting on the sofa in the living room and was staring out the window. Should I tell her I'm a vampire? Or do I hold out a little while longer? I heard her coming down the stairs. Hold out, I thought, I don't wanna freak her out. She was holding a camera. S***! "Hey Ross... can I take a picture of you?"

"No"

"But..."

"No!"

"Ross!

"I said NO!"

"Why not?!"

"I just don't like pictures okay?!"

"Why? You're picture perfect!"

"I just don't like pictures!"

"Whatever" she said a bit angrily. I got up and walked out of the room. I KNEW she was going to try and take a picture of me, that would be dead PROOF that I was a vampire. She put the camera in her pocket and came up behind me. Well... Hayls is getting more comfortable around me, isn't she? "I'm sorry Ross... I shouldn't have been so pushy... You've been so nice to me and... I don't know"

"Don't worry about it"

"But I'm going to! I'm REALLY sorry"

I turned to face Hayley the light from the windows making her medium light brown shine in the sunlight, her green/gray eyes sparkling as the looked up to meet my plain brown eyes, her slightly tanned skin, so smooth and perfect (you honestly couldn't know HOW badly I wanted to stroke her cheek and kiss her right then) "It's fine" I said, slightly above a whisper. She smiled shyly and looked down at her feet. I hesitated, wondering if I should tilt her head back and kiss her or not... I decided not to and walked up to my room. I was laying back on my bed and staring at the ceiling when I heard a faint knock on my door. "Come in" I said. Hayley walked in with a piece of paper, a book, and a pencil. What's this? I thought. "Hey" she said "I wanted that picture before so I could finish this picture I started... I wanted it to be a surprise" she said weakly. That explains a lot, I thought. I sat up and leaned on my knees. "Go ahead" I said coolly. A smile spread across her face as she sat on the opposite side of the bed and sketched away. Once she stopped she smiled with a hint of accomplishment on her face. "Perfect" she said and turned around. Wow, I thought, I really look like that? My hair seemed to be messy, but just perfectly messy. My eyes seemed to sparkle, but just enough. And I guess I looked pretty good! I took the paper out of her hands and just stared at it. Damn, I thought, this girl has SERIOUS talent for art! I looked back up at her "You, my dear, are an AMAZING artist" I said sweetly. She blushed "Really? You think?"

"I don't think so, I know so"

"Wow... thanks" she said and walked out. I grabbed some tape out of my nightstand drawer and put the picture up on my wall. I went out into the hall. Where the hell did this girl go now? "HAYLEY?" I called out. "Yes?" she said as she popped up behind me out of nowhere. This time, I was the on who screamed and she giggled. "I wanted to know if you wanted to go for a drive around town? It's REALLY beautiful at night" I said. But not as beautiful as you, I thought. Hayley smiled "Alright" she said. We went downstairs, I grabbed my keys, and we went out.
