I guess I had fallen asleep while watching TV, I heard someone knock a few times on the front door. While I got up I glanced over at the clock and saw that that it was eight thirty. I stretched, feeling my back loosen as I walked over to the door. It was probably Bianca but to sooth my somewhat paranoid nature I would ask, sometimes it helped. Then again my paranoia had saved me on multiple occasions, in all it was a survival tactic. I paid close attention to my instincts.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me” I heard Bianca’s voice and opened the door. She smiled at me and I smiled back. Bianca was wearing a black jean jacket, a tight crimson shirt, and dark blue jeans with black boots. I would have gladly kept on staring at her and the outfit if it weren’t for the orange and white cat she held in an embrace. I blinked a few times at the cat as it just stared back at me with its green eyes.

“What’s that?”

“It’s a cat silly… now are you going to invite me in?”

I took a step back and let Bianca in, she knelt down once she was inside and set the cat down. It just stood there for a while, looking at its new surroundings before it ran off into the general direction of the bedroom. Great.

“Why did you bring a cat?” I really wanted to know why, I was about to close the front door when her hand shot out and stopped me.

“Don’t close it, I still have to get something, I’ll explain that in a second…”
Now why didn’t that sound comforting?
Bianca exited and soon returned with a bag of kitty litter and a rather large cardboard box. I only watched as she walked in and placed the contents by the kitchen, the cat was sitting on top of the tile counter and licking its left paw. Now everyone make yourself comfortable…

I closed the door and by the time I turned around to Bianca she had a smile on her face, more or less mixed with a sense of accomplishment. Either way I wanted to know why she brought the fur ball, which was currently making itself comfortable on the tile counter top. It’s green eyes staring back at me and it’s tail moving up and down in a rhythmic fashion.

“I thought you needed an animal to keep you company… and you’ll be perfect for each other.”

Fur ball and I were currently in a staring contest, yeah were perfect for each other.

“You going to name it Jacob?”

I grinned, “How about fur ball?”

The cat and Bianca stared back at me, ok maybe that’s a bad name. Then again I never did expect to have my ‘date’ bring over a cat. Though the same can be said that I never knew I would be dating a vampire. God I’m such a hypocrite.

I tapped my right foot and thought for a while, fur ball and Bianca were looking at me like I was some thing for their amusement. Then again that’s probably it.
Then something occurred to me, maybe I shouldn’t keep the cat. I mean it would probably mess up the entire apartment and claw all my furniture. All fur balls were known for that type of destruction.

“The cat is just going to ruin my apartment…”

Bianca raised her left eyebrow at me as she glanced over to the fur ball, it looked at her and meowed rather innocently. Yeah right.

“Oh come on, you said you were willing to try new things… “

“Well that’s true, but you never did say anything about me keeping an animal.”

Fur ball had jumped rather gracefully from the counter top and began to intertwine itself between my legs, rubbing its face against my jeans and purring. I sighed and looked back up at Bianca, who seemed to be enjoying herself as she watched the fur ball.

“Just try it for awhile, I’m sure you and her will get along.”

Well at least I knew what sex it was, “Ok I’ll try keeping the cat for awhile."

I looked down at my feet and fur ball was looking back at me with her green eyes. I knelt down and began to gently pet her, my hand traveling from the top of her head to her mid-section. The cat seemed to enjoy it as she purred, see I told you I had a way with women. Now if it were only with women of the same species, I'd be all set.

"See Jacob, you'll like her in no time."

"Yeah maybe your right..." I stood up again and left the fur ball to her own wanderings, which seemed to be behind my couch. I turned my attention back to Bianca, maybe it was just me but she looked more enticing then usual. She took a step forward and looked straight into my eyes, her amber irises beautiful. I could easily smell her perfume and for the first time in god knows how long I felt that awkward moment that two people have. The one in which we could kiss or just continue to stare into each other’s eyes until one of us broke the silence.
We slowly began to come closer to each other, our lips hovering and just a mere touch away when I heard the sound of claws against leather.
I turned my face and looked at my leather recliner, I could see fur balls tail moving and I could easily guess what she was doing to the recliner.

"No dammit, bad cat...bad cat!"

Fur ball bolted away to some corner of the apartment and I went over to the side of the recliner to check the damage, it was horrible. I saw two claw marks in the eggshell colored leather, that cat is so going to die.

"Bianca see what your cat..."

I turned my attention back to Bianca to finish my rant when I saw that she was rather displeased with my current actions, I guess yelling at the cat and checking the damage on the leather recliner was a bad choice.

"What?" I said in the manner of someone who doesn't know what they did, yet deep inside they have a faint feeling of what went wrong. Maybe that’s why most of my relationships don't last that long, maybe.

Bianca shook her head and walked over to the kitchen, a sigh left her lips. I just stood there and watched her as she knelt over and easily opened the cardboard box.

"Get your inept ass over here and take a look at this, I swear you can't be a good human servant or lover...why the hell did I pick you?"

I resented that, "I'm a great lover."

Bianca sighed with content "Yeah I know" she shook her head as she lifted up the cardboard box and placed it on top of the counter. I stood behind her, placing my hands on her shoulders. I peered over her right side and looked inside of the box. Of course it was full of cat stuff.

"Don't tell me, instead of a date your going to teach me how to take care of a cat?"

Well at least we were going to do something tonight, if not each other. Ok, I have to take control of my hormones. I don't think about sex all day you know, it just seems like it. Yeah.

Bianca turned her face and kissed me on the cheek, her soft lips felt nice as she whispered. "Oh I'll be doing something to you later, you are my human servant after all..."
Oh god that sounded so wrong, yet so right.

I sighed and looked at the contents of the box, "Promises, promises..."

Bianca laughed, "Would you rather have me take you now against your will, strip off all your clothes and have my way with you?"

Yes, "No... ok let’s get back to the cat stuff." I just hoped I didn't sound to 'excited' that wouldn't be very suave of me now would it?

Bianca told me about theff tff that she had brought, it was a litter box and about two weeks worth of canned cat food. The litterbag was leaning against the wall of the kitchen as Bianca placed the box back down.

I sighed and scratched the back of my head with my right hand, I really didn't know what to do. I mean what do you do when you date a vampire?, you can't eat out and if you do you'll be the only one eating. Same thing goes for drinking, those two are the main things that I usually do when I go out. There was another option but I've had my fill of nightclubs for this entire month.
Bianca turned around to me and grinned, a hint of fang showing.

"Would you mind taking off your cross?" She said that rather casually, the proverbial red light went off in my paranoia-induced brain.

"Why?" Just being safe, a vampire is a vampire after all. Hell in truth this whole situation was new territory for me, I know how to kill them. It’s easy, a stake to there heart and then you just decapitate them. Though dating one is a whole new situation.

Bianca shook her head, "I promise I won't do anything harmful, and you know I keep my word. Also don't forget you said you wanted trust in this relationship, so trust me." Yeah and some part of me remembered Lilith when she said that also, I just hoped the two didn't want to kill me sometime later.

"Yeah I did say that...I'll be back in a second." Damn she was using it against me.
I walked to the bedroom and stood next to the dresser. For the second time in a long time I took off my silver cross, I took a glance at it as it lay there and a sense of helplessness fell upon me. It was like my whole protection against the world lay in that, the sad part was that it was held in that cross. Humanity itself couldn't save me, but my faith could and now without it I felt naked.
I sighed and walked back to the living room, Bianca was sitting on the couch as she had fur ball on her lap. I sat next to her and leaned back, my eyes locked upon the ceiling fan that slowly spun.

"Have a name for the cat yet?"

I smiled, "How about Bianca? cause I know the both of you will be a pain in my ass." I couldn't help but laugh, to bad Bianca didn't think that was funny as her palm shot out and hit me square in the chest. I slightly winced and felt pain.

"You didn't have to hit that hard...jeez"

Bianca laughed as she placed the cat on the floor, it stared at her for a while before it wandered off. I diverted my gaze back to the ceiling fan, though the fact that she straddled my waist and stared into my eyes with her amber eyes kind of brought me back to her. Then again lets just say she had my full attention.

"Think of a name yet?"

Bianca crossed her arms and rested them upon my chest, she leaned forward and rested her forehead against mine as we kept our eyes locked upon each other.

"Whats with you and naming the cat?"

I couldn't see her expression, only the details of her amber eyes. I felt her breath against me and from time to time I would feel the slight glance of our lips meeting. Her long black hair draped over me as her perfume aroused my senses.

"Oh I just want to know, before we continue on with anything..."
I laid my hands at her waist and for the first time tonight I noticed that she wasn't cold, she had a normal body temperature. Bianca was truly becoming one with the rank of master vampire. This wouldn't have been fair if this happened two years ago, I had plans on only dating normal people. Now I'm dating a vampire who was my ex and my best friend, I just love how I can complicate my life. Though now with everything I was beginning to think about my morals and how my views effected my judgments.

"Ok I have a name...Yuri, you like?"

"Very much, I like that name...Yuri"

Now maybe it's just me and my over crazed hormones, but I wanted to take Bianca now. Then again how do you put the moves on a vampire?
Though it's probably my mind classifying them as a different species, I mean they are human. They just have a violent aversion to sunlight, anything related to religion and silver coated bullets. Oh and I can't forget that they usually have the body temperature of a corpse. muc much of a difference from a human, really.
Though when it comes to a master vampire, everything that you know about the usual vampire goes out the window. Imagination is unfortunately the limit when it comes to them and the master of the city.

“What would you like to do?”

You, “Umm err I don’t know…” Yup that’s Mr. Suave for you, great you get one woman to straddle me and I melt into an unintelligible mass of hormone driven flesh. Sometimes I wonder why I’ve lived for this long with my current job occupation.
I felt her lips against mine as I closed my eyes, now it would be a lie if I haven’t thought about doing something like this to Bianca. Even when she did change into a vampire, I guess old feelings diehard. Though in my lifetime I’ve learned to keep feelings to myself, they only slow your reactions down and in my profession that means certain death.
I’m just being realistic, someone that wants you dead won’t allow you time to think. It’s either act with your instincts or die. It’s as simple as that.
The touch of her soft lips faded as I felt her caress her cheek against mine, my eyes were still closed as I heard Bianca’s soothing whisper in my ear.

“Do you want me?”

“Yes…” I was in the moment, the part were all logical thinking takes a twenty story nose dive into cement, and you’re most primal of instincts take over. Though in my case it was mostly lust. I only felt Bianca as I kept my eyes closed, my hands which were at her waist slowly up and under her shirt. Her skin felt warm to the touch and in that moment I felt a sharp pain in my neck, I felt the warm trickle of liquid down my neck and I knew that it was blood.blooblood.
I tried to push her away from me as I opened my eyes, I only saw a flash of movement and then I only knew darkness.
