So he left

The fall is smoother and as Angelo keeps her tight to her chest the chance of her tripping is zero. They are in front of the mansion.

The view is amazing as you look at the glass windows that reflect the sun. Having two levels and a natural look due to the trees planted on the path toward it, gives Dina a feeling of peace and elegance. The flowers on the alley swing in the wind that started few seconds ago. She realizes that the only bad think about this mansion is that is in at the top of the hill. The wind will always blow harder there.

Getting away from the guy she quickens her pace after Ralph, he went ahead. She need to be far away from him in order to enjoy the beauty of the place she will stay from now on.

She looks back, wondering if the guy cached on her hint of leaving her alone. He is right behind her, smirking as if she wouldn't be able to get away from him.

What am I going to do with him? Dina remains calm and applies him the same treatment.

She stops and rises her eyebrows questioning, makes him walk in front of her.

It is a joy for her to admire his broad shoulders. His hair is playing in the wind that intensifies.

'If only his personality would be beautiful as his body …. I would want to be his lover..'

What is she thinking? Did she finally lost it?

He looks back and Dina right than hits her head with her palm from thinking such absurdities.

Was it because she never had a boyfriend before. Although she has many friends that are boys, she never felt any sexual attraction for them. But for Angelo, she concludes that she wouldn't minded giving in. However, the only guy she finds attractive is a vampire with nasty temper.

He waits for her and they walk side by side. She sighs.

She is in her thought. Doesn't realize that the boy talked to her.

"Are you disappointed that much?"

She doesn't get what he meant. And with a tilted head she looks at him like a confused puppy.

"Nothing.."

What? She isn't too curious to ask for further explanation. But one think she new for sure is that, she is very disappointed right now. Like he could read her thoughts, she answered his question in her mind.

Dina is feeling her limbs heavier. The door is open and she follows the boy.

A living room with a corner couch and a glass table in the middle. The natural light give a fresh felling to the interior.

"Dina! Let's eat! "Ralph 's voice is heard from a different room that is ahead.

With small steps she walks to find the origin of the voice. She feels her skin tremble and a hot fire in her chest spreading, making her feeling weaker.

'I need to hold myself together….' The more she struggles to get to the kitchen, her vision blurs. Nothing is clear. Just spots in fog. Her hands grab her head.

"My head hurts so bad..' A high- pitching sound in her ears makes her curl. One step and she trips.

The whooshing sound and the weakness that she feels make her faint.

No sound. Black.

Angelo snatched her falling body and with fast steps he goes at the second level of the mansion. He opens a door with his elbow and puts her on the bed.

She is pale. As if she is dead.

He puts his ear on her chest. Dina's heart frets slow like a cat purring.

He sighs.

She start to sweat. He brushes off the black hair on the side.

He takes out the knife. From the slit she cut drops of blood are falling. His eyes are red crimson. As he sits next to her, he sucks the blood from the cut. He paused for a moment rethinking what he will do.

Angelo leans over and observes her face. Her pale full lips are white like chalk. Drop of blood lingers at the corner of his mouth and drops on her lips. His hand slides and brushes her cheek. He presses his lips on hers. His tongue is gently directing her tongue so that the blood doesn't make her choke. She swallows the sweet red liquid as his lips seal hers. He backs away.

Dina begins to regain her skin tone. She opens her eyes slowly.

A room. She is on a king sized bad. The size makes her want to stretch. Well, she just remembers that she saw black.

'I will ask Ralph …'

The window isn't so big. She realizes that is evening.

With a jump she runs down the stair in the kitchen. Her body is energized.

In the kitchen Ralph is eating alone chicken breast.

"Dina! "He smiles at her and shows her where to sit. "I heard from Angelo that you wanted to rest. Are you better now? "His tone reminds her of Faris.

"I am better now." She sits and takes a bite. "Where is he? "She continues eating with her mouth full.

"He is in New York. We have there a house close to Faris'. He goes to school there. Well usually he stays the weekend home but he suddenly left. He will come back in a week."

Ralph is a little displeased by his son's sudden leave.

'So, he left…'

She is in thought as the silence accompanies the dinner.

On think she know is that the boy carried her to her room. She hopes that the boy will not make fun of her later. Maybe he isn't such a bed boy. Still, he has a mouth that knew how to boil her blood.

Her giggle denounces that she is enjoying fighting with him.

On the other side, Angelo can't sleep. He turns off the light and gets a book from the bookshelf.

'Signs you like a girl'

He flips through its pages. 'You heart rate quickens.'

He closes the book and sighs. He sure got a quicker heart rate from the anger she provokes him. No use reading such an unacknowledged book.

He decides to try falling asleep since is not worth fretting over Dina.
