I folded the piece of paper and tucked it away in the drawer. I looked around the room and saw a book that wasn't there before. A note was attached to it.
'To my love,
love,
Ryan.
I stared at the book and it looked new. I read the title
"Miss Popular". How had he known I've been dying to read this book? I put the book on the dresser and stared unpacking my stuff and put it away. I heard some one knock on my door.
"Come in", I said. A tall man with a head full of grey hair wearing a suit that made him look like a penguin walked in.
"Miss Summers. My name is Nial. I'm Ryan's butler and I am also your butler as well. How long are you staying?", Nial asked.
"Well, my mom says until school is over so two months", I replied.
"Excellent. Dinner will be ready in an hour". Nial walked out the room closing the door behind him. I finished unpacking and laid in bed and read my book.
An hour later I was called down to dinner and Ryan came to get me.
"So, how do u like the book so far?", he asked.
"Yeah but how did you know I wanted that book?".
"While you were in the bathroom applying a layer of lip gloss last week in school, Ashlin walked by and I asked her what should I get you for our two month anniversary. So she told me that you always wanted a certain book so I went and got it for you yesterday when I left your house yesterday, I went to Barnes and noble and got it for you".
"That's another reason why I love you. You pay attention to what I want by asking my friends", I said giving him a kiss. I pulled away and walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the end of the table. Ryan took a seat at the other end. The food came on silver trays and were set in front of us. The lady pulled off the lid and on the plate was baked chicken strips, green beans, peach slices and for dessert, chocolate cake. I picked up my fork and knife and started cutting the chicken into small pieces. Ryan was dipped his food in what seemed to be ketchup. But it was dripping and ketchup never drips. I continued eating silently not knowing what to say. Ask him how the ketchup is falling on his plate so fast? Why is the "ketchup" on all of your food? Okay, now I'm being ridiculous. It can't be on all his food. I looked at his plate and it's on all the food. Okay, that's just disgusting.
"Everything okay Bella?".
"Yeah. I'm totally forgot that I had to go call my mom and tell her I made it here safely", I replied. I knew I was going to regret lying to him in the future but I had to. I left the kitchen and rushed up the steps into my room. I saw Ryan sitting on my bed.
"How did you get in here so fast?", I asked in shock.
"The list. Every suspicion you have about me, is true", he replied. I stood there frozen. He wasn't serious was he? He can't be a vampire. But, now that I think about it. The dream, the blood bag, the "ketchup" on his food. It all makes sense now that he admitted it.
"How could you have keep this a secret from me? For as long as I've known you. After we became a couple. You're telling me this now", I said.
"Bella. I'm sorry but the council said I had to wait until we became a couple and there wasn't any other humans around. I'm sorry", he said apologetically.
"Are there anymore of you?.
"No. I'm the only one that you know". I sat on the bed next to him and pulled his body towards mine. "I'm confused. You're not mad?", he asked.
"Does this answer your question?". I leaned in and pressed his lips against mine. I felt his teeth bite my tongue but I didn't care. I felt blood leave my tongue slowly. I pulled away moving my tongue against the roof of my mouth tasting blood which was kinda salty. "I'm sorry I got so mad at you. I should've been more open minded about you telling your secret", I said.
"Its okay. I guess I should've tried to make it sound like I'm not a bad person". He wasn't a bad person at all. He was trying to keep me calm and I should've leg him.
"So, do you ever sleep?", I asked.
"I had a feeling that question would be asked first. No, I don't sleep. If I could, I wouldn't. The only thing I really want to do is protect you. You are my one and only Bella". I looed at his eyes and the were an amber color. He gave me a hug and we both laid down staring into each others eyes until I fell asleep.
