City by the Sea 2

Melissa

"Joe, I am scared. What if I cannot control myself enough? I have been on the run for five years. Someone already lost a life because I am too emotional. What if I do that again?" I ask.

Joseph

I tighten my grip around her, "I won't let you, Mel. We can work through this."

Melissa

I nod and kiss him again. "I can't leave you again." I say.

Joseph

I kiss her back, "You don't have to."

Melissa

"I won't do that again." I promise to him.

Joseph

I kiss her and close my eyes, nodding, "I know."

Melissa

I smile and think to myself. I remember when I was turned, missing Joe was what got me through everything. Then person that turned me said everything you feel is a hundred times more than what I use to. My love for Joe is the strongest this and I cannot lose him.

Joseph

I rest my forehead against hers and take a deep breath, thinking about those few years before she left and all the opportunity I had to tell her then. We could have been like this all along.

Melissa

I smile, deep in my thoughts about Joe. I cannot believe that the day I come back he tells me he loves me, I tell him I am a vampire, I tell him I love him, he lets me feed off of him and then we have sex. All in in a few hours.

Joseph

I slowly come to smile as well, thinking of everything that just happened and not really believing it did.

Melissa

I raise my eye brows at him and smile. "What are you thinking about?"

Joseph

I smile and open my eyes, looking at her, "Just about how everything's happened."

Melissa

I smile and kiss him. "Me too." I say. "Do you think we would have done what we just did if I had stayed?" I ask.

Joseph

I think, kissing her back, "When I finally had the guts to tell you I loved you, yeah."

Melissa

I laugh and look at him. "I think so too." I say.
