I
keep my eyes firmly on the speeding traffic as I await Ryan’s reply. “You know that I just want you to be happy, right?”
“Yeah and that’s what I want for you too. I’m not the right girl for you, but
she’s out there, waiting for you.”
    “You’re a sappy girl, you know that?” I laugh –thank God Ryan understands. I
smile as I say my goodbyes to Ryan. He hangs up and I push my phone back
into the pocket of my jeans. I try to steady my blowing hair and I am surprised
when I feel Dalton’s hand on my knee. I turn my head to meet his stare and he
is smiling at me. His lips are white and hand is chilling right through to my
bones. My eyes fall onto my lap and onto Dalton’s hand. His fingers are gently
caressing my leg and I place my hand onto his. My fingers tingle from his icy
hand, and I let out a sigh as I maintain my stare.
    “Look at me,” Dalton says as he lifts his hand and grips onto my chin. He pulls
my head towards his and my eyes lift and meet his. “You care about the boy,
don’t you?” I blush at his words, but I feel that I need to explain the Ryan
situation to him. I don’t want him to think that I have feelings for Ryan; he
needs to know that I only have eyes for him.
    “He’s just a friend; I only have feelings … for you.” Dalton nods and he smiles,
loosening my face in the process. My hands begin to tremble and I can sense
that my mouth is about to run away with me, but I don’t care, I need to ask this
question. “Have you ever turned anyone?” Dalton sighs and I can tell that he
isn’t impressed, or pleased to hear my prying question. But I don’t care; I need
to know the answer.
    “No,” he says in a firm tone –I narrow my eyes, I just don’t believe him. Is he
trying to scare me off –again? He is desperate for me to change my mind about
wanting to be vampire, is this another one of his tricks?
    “Your eyes, tell me that isn’t true!” Dalton hisses –he isn’t pleased with me.
“Just stop it, Rose, okay?” I frown at him. Why is he being so annoying?
    “No, I want to know why you aren’t being honest with me. I have opened up to
you, why can’t you do the same?” Dalton slows the car down and I begin to feel
uneasy when he pulls into the slow lane. He grips the wheel, firm and strong
and he breathes through his burning desire. He turns to look at me and I see that
his eyes are burning, he is hungry –again. “Dalton, are you okay?” I ask as I feel
that he needs a little comfort. Even though I am mad at him for not sharing
whatever pain he has, I don’t want to witness that pain.
“You don’t understand what you’re asking me to do!” Dalton says in a shaken
voice.
    “Then explain it to me,” I say as I cup his cheek. Dalton sighs at my touch and
he pulls the car into the nearest emergency bay. He flicks a switch and the roof
folds up around us. He turns to face me with his intense blue eyes burning
through me. He runs his fingers through his hair and he clears his throat before
he speaks.
“You’re beautiful, amazing and the only girl that I have ever … cared about.
When I’m with you, I don’t feel like the monster that I am. I feel things for you,
which I have never experienced before, things that I haven’t allowed myself to
feel. But no matter how much I care about you, I would never ask you to change
for me. Being a vampire isn’t normal and believe me you would regret it,
forever.” I shake my head at him –I wouldn’t regret it. I would bask in it, I want
it more than anything, and I want to be with him. My hearts flutters –he finally
admits that he cares. I reach out and clasp my hands into his, he rolls his eyes at
my affection and he starts again with the vampire-dissing. “If you were like me,
then you wouldn’t feel the same things that you’re feeling now. Your heart
would be empty, only lusting for blood. You wouldn’t want me, once you
changed!” I finally understand. He thinks that being a vampire would
