James P.O.V
"Alice," I squeaked out. She jumped a little. I chuckled. "Hey, don't laugh. You really scared me." Alice replied. "I'm sorry, Allison," even though it was funny. "How do you know my real name?" Alice asked.

"Well you looked like an Allison, I just guessed." I said. "Shall we start the tour?" Nodding her head, Alice stared walking. I chuckled and followed the petite girl.

After about an hour of walking I could sense Alice's discomfort and tiredness. After all she did work all day. "Alice," I say. She looked at me with tired eyes. "Maybe we should get you home. The tour can wait." Offering a small smile. Nodding her head slowly, we started walking to her home.

Five minutes later we were at a small home. It looked like the perfect house for Alice. Walking on here front steps, she unlocked the house door. I was a little nervous that she wouldn't invite me in to her home. As she walked in I was stuck on the porch. "Alice," I called out. She turned around confused to why I was not following her. "You seem tired, so I'm just going to head to my hotel." I lied I was going to go feed.

"Nonsense, come in James. I'll give you a tour of my house, seeing that I couldn't finish the tour of the town," Alice said. Stepping a foot in to see if I could pass through. I stepped my whole body in as she watched in amusement. Laughing Alice walked away, following her I looked around the house trying to find pictures of her family but she really didn't have any. "Allison," I called. "Yeah," She replied, "I'm in the kitchen." Walking in the kitchen I saw her making tea. "If you don't mind me asking but why don't you have pictures of your family on your walls or something?" I asked.

Alice stopped for a second, "I don't really talk to my parents that much," she said," we had a falling out when I was younger." She handed me some tea. "I understand," and I completely did. We both moved to the couch, talking as if we had been friends for years. I finally felt like I was normal again. With Alice I felt something.

The clock said 1 and I could tell Alice was about to fall asleep. Picking her up bridal style a small squeak left her mouth. "What are you doing?" She asked. With a chuckle I replied,"I'm taking you to bed." Nodding her head she placed it on my shoulder. Her perfume invaded my nose. It was like the first time when she gave me a ride to town- well halfway to town. Going to what looked like her bedroom, I placed her down on the bed, taking her shoes off and placing the cover on her slowly.

She looked like she was sleeping so I turned away ready to let my self out but a small, warm hand stopped me. "Stay," Alice whispered, I probably wouldn't have heard it if it wasn't for my super hearing. "Alice I don't think-" I got cut off by a small 'please.' Giving in I slowly removed my shirt and shoes. I could hear the rapid thumping of her heart as I crawled in the bed with her. Wrapping my arm securely around her small waist, she put her head in my chest and her breathing evened out. I took a chance and kissed the top of her head and whispered, "goodnight, Allison."
