**************************************

You're walking across the street downtown with a couple of friends, chattering away, when you see HIM. The guy you swear you are going to marry. The funny thing is, you have never actually talked to him.

You catch his eye and he smiles. You want to stop and talk to him but you keep walking, staring over your shoulder, not noticing that your friends are getting further and further ahead of you.

You turn around and finally you realize that your friends are out of sight. When you stop you notice that the guy of your dreams is walking toward you.

You figure 'heck why not' and meet him half way.

"Do you have any idea how beautiful you are?" he says. You blush a moment then grab a pen from your purse to write your number down on his hand. You say you have to get home and run off in the direction your friends disappeared.

The whole time you are trying to catch up to your friends you cant stop thinking of him. His beautiful curly blonde hair blue eyes body of a god

You get tired of running and decide to take a short cut down the local roads. It's dark and you can barely see a thing, but you keep walking. You hear footsteps behind you and turn to see who it is.

'Maybe he's following me to keep me safe on my way home AWW how sweet!' you think to yourself, but to your disappointment there isn't anyone there.

You keep walking and hear the footsteps again. You stop and turn again, but you still don't see anything. When you turn to walk again you suddenly bump into a black figure and fall to the ground hitting your butt hard on the pavement.

You start scrambling to your feet rubbing your butt along the way and wondering what the heck you could have bumped into.

You slowly look up when your butt stops throbbing and see a man with dark hair, brown eyes and a pail complexion, dressed in dark colors. Your stomach flutters as you realize his dark, handsome, and mysterious qualities.

'OMG he is hot' you think to yourself, then mentally hit yourself and think 'you retard! he is going to hurt you if you don't get out of here!' Despite your best kick in the head, your mind couldn't shake off how beautiful he was and your body wouldn't cooperate with the 'lets run away now' thought.

The man leans down and extends his hand to help you up. Once you are on your feet he says, "Sorry to startle you, I only meant to get your attention."

"It's fine." you reply.

"Come with me." Despite your best efforts to refuse the invitation, he pulls you by your arm and leads you to an empty park. Suddenly he pins you to the ground and says, "I was supposed to kill you but you are too pretty for me to do that." he leans down slowly as you struggle and kisses your neck then smiles at you, showing his beautiful white smile and what looks like fangs.

"I won't kill you, but you must promise me something." he says as he looks into your eyes. You say nothing, just stare at him. "You have to meet me here tomorrow night at midnight. I just want to see you again."

Something in your mind tells you to tell him to go to *down there* but something told you that you shouldn't refuse maybe the fact that he said he would kill you if you did? You manage to squeak out "sure".

The man lets up on his grip and sits up. You scramble out from under him as he was getting to his feet. "Farwell, until tomorrow then." He says and starts to walk away.

"Hey! Are you going to tell me your name?" you ask without thinking, "It might be nice to know when I am meeting you tomorrow"

"Tharon," he says and then disappears in the shadows of the trees.

The next day all you could think about was whether or not he would call. You wanted him to so badly it seemed like waiting for Christmas.

You were sitting in one of your multicolored, overstuffed beanbag chairs watching the ceiling fan go in circles above your head thinking about him when something hit you square in the forehead.

You blinked a couple times for recovery and then focused your gaze on the person who did it. "Geze Kelly! Don't you knock? You don't just walk into peoples' rooms like that... let alone their apartments! You realize I could have been naked? Did you even shut the front door? I didn't hear it shut."

"Yeah, and you didn't hear me ring your doorbell either, Jen. 3 times Jen. After a while I figured I would just leave a note. Your door was unlocked." Kelly replied. She smacked the gum in her mouth a couple times and messed up her short black hair. "You disappeared last night, where did you run off to? We all figured you just met some random hot guy and went back to his place."

At first glance anyone would say you and Kelly were complete opposites. Kelly had short black curly hair that she messed up all the time, she always wore long black dresses and large silver crosses on long silver chains around her neck. Black lipstick, thick eyeliner and black nail polish. She also had a fetish with point towed boots. But it looked great on her, you always wished you could pull that look off.

You, however, never had the guts to do anything like that. You always wore the tight blue jeans that showed off your butt, and a light pink or blue shirt to go with them. Sometimes you would slink into something sexier for a party like a little black dress. And you would always wear your chunky black bracelets on both wrists and three thick silver rings on each hand.

"Hah, yeah... something like that..." you replied and slank further into your beanbag, "do you remember me telling you about that guy that i thought was SO beautiful?"

Kelly lit up and cheered, "You hooked up with your GOD?!" Now this is where you two are the same. Kelly has that secret peppy side to her and you have your darker side to you which makes you the perfect pair. "Tell me, tell me!"

"NO! I mean... I would have liked it... I mean it's not that way... Not what you think!" I stammered.

"Oh! So he was gay wasn't he? I knew it... I'll beat him up for breaking your heart!" Kelly got into her defense mode and started pacing around my room with her fist in her hand.

"Geze Kelly, calm down! I gave him my number, he just hasn't called yet." you said, then quickly added, "He's not gay! He called me beautiful." Kelly stopped pacing and dropped into the bean bag beside mine, "Oh, well in that case..." she paused and thought for a moment, "AAAwww! You might really have a chance to marry him!" She wrapped her arms around my head and stuck my face right into her boobs. Then...

The phone rang...

Thank god! Just in time.

"Go get 'em tiger!" Kelly said and patted your butt as you ran to answer the phone.

Unfortunately, when you answered the phone, it wasn't the voice you wanted to hear. You sighed and replied into the receiver, "Yes, Anita, I can come in today. I'll be there in a bit, but I would like to be off by 11:30 if that is ok." "Well, I'm close to overtime anyways." "Right. See you in a bit. Bye."

When you went back into your room Kelly sat up and smiled widely, "Well?"

"It was work. They need me to come in." You grabbed your coat and keys. Luckily work had no uniform except the apron you wore around your waist.

Well, what about Dream-Boat then?" Kelly asked.

"I'll turn on the machine... hopefully he will leave a message. I really need to get a caller ID." You said, then shooed Kelly out of your apartment, locked the door, and headed for work.

Work was boring as usual... Waiting tables wasn't my idea of the best job in the world. The rest of the night went by quickly though. I had a constant flow of tables and a good amount of tips coming from them. I was working the smoking section so I occasionally got to sit down with a usual customer and have a cigerette with them. Overall it was a good night for the bad timing. I came out with an extra $150 in my pocket so I was happy.

11:30 came around and I clocked out and headed to the park. On the way I lit up a cigarette and pondered about what this weird guy wanted. 'you know I bet Kelly would think he was the most drop dead gorgeous man in the world.' I thought to myself.

When I got to the park all was quiet except the trees swaying in the wind. The stillness creeped me out. I kinda felt my impending doom like in the movies.

I plopped down on a bench and lit another cigarette. A time like this deserved the chain smoking... I mean I was about to meet up with a guy I didn't know... one that attacked me none the less, one that had fangs.

The wind stirred up a bit and died down. I could see a dark figure walking through the trees toward me. My heart pounded as I flicked the cigarette butt. I got up to greet him, when I saw his face my heart fluttered and my fingers tingled. 'Amazing...' I thought.
