"The mountains?!" Mike let out a sigh as he grabbed his keys from the nightstand which sat by the front door after walking down the stairs. "Come on Jason we can go to your house after we drop these lovebirds off."
Ivan swung his duffel bag at Mike playfully then walked out the front door and over to the car. "Come on." he demanded as he climb into the back of the car, setting the bag on the center seat. He was getting anxious only because he didn't feel comfortable being in his own home anymore.
He let out a sigh as he rested his head back against the seat and closed his eyes. A million things were running through his mind but the one thing that stuck out the most was Alexa. She should have been the least of his worries but she wasn't. She was on top of his list now.

"The mountains?!"
Alexa giggled at Mike's expression, but blushed at the next thing he said about her and Ivan being 'lovebirds'. What exactly were they? Ivan didn't object, so she figured she wouldn't either, but shot Mike a glare anyways.
She followed the boys outside to the car, eyes shifting around in the darkness for some unknown reason. Alexa could tell that Ivan was plenty ready to get out of there, even though it was his own house. Ivan's edginess seemed to be getting to her as well.
Alexa slid in next to Ivan, shut the door, and looked over at him. His eyes were closed and she didn't think he was asleep, but probably just thinking. She turned to stare out the window. When they hit the main road, she told Mike where to go and keep on going. They were soon on their way to her house.

Tapping his foot against the floor of the car, he mouthed the words to the song that played on the radio. He kept his eyes closed and his head laid back with his hands tucked under his head. It felt good leaving his house. Quite relieving.
He began to imagine what Alexa's house looked like. Was it big? No, most likely small since she lived on her own. Or maybe she had family living with her or maybe roommates? Wonder if her roommates are just as hot as her. Ivan smiled thoughtfully to himself.
After the song had finished he finally reopened his eyes, narrowing them towards Alexa. He arched a brow and looked out the window she had been staring out of. He wondered what exactly she thought of him and how she felt about him. Was she just letting him stay at her house because she felt bad? Who knew. He figured he'd find out sooner or later.

When Mike came to a long winding drive, Alexa told him to keep on going then returned to her window. What was Ivan thinking? It was driving her mad. And did he look forward to spending time at her house?
These questions and more plagued her mind. Alexa had never been much of a worry-wart or self-concious. But she couldn't help but be when she was around him. Not to mention that quickening-heartbeat thing he did to her.
About thirty minutes later, Mike would come to a stop in front of a fairly large Spanish style house. A lit fountain stood in center of the circle-around driveway and a balcony overlooked the massive well-kept lawn. A large set of stone steps lead up to the all glass doors. "Alright, we're here," she said and hopped out to wait on Ivan. "Thanks Mike." |

His jaw nearly dropped as they pulled up to the house. It was much bigger than he had expected. She definitely had to have at least one other person living with her in such a large place.
"Thanks dude." He told Mike before slapping two-hundred bucks into his hand. "Hey what about me?!" Jason whined as Ivan exited the car. Ivan rolled his eyes and tossed Jason a hundred. "Don't spend it all in one place honey!" He let out a laugh as Jason flipped him off before he closed the car door.
He followed Alexa from behind as he examined his new surroundings. The place was amazing. From the large lawn to the fountain that stood in the center. He felt a bit jealous. He thought his house was nice but it was nothing compared to this place. He became fairly anxious to see the inside.

Alexa grabbed Ivan's bag from his hand and started towards the house. It was nice to be home, but she hoped that Ivan didn't think it was too much, especially for someone that lived on their own. Hopefully he would stay long enough that it wouldn't seem so big.
She heard the boys exchange a few words before driving off. She grinned back at him and said, "Bienvenido a mi casa." She grabbed his hand and lead him inside to the main foyer. A few tables, plants and random photographs stood around to decorate. The walls were light and neutral colors like golds, yellows, dark reds, and forest greens. They then traveled towards the grand staircase: two that looped around each other.
"Well, would you like the grand tour, or would you like to get settled in?" Either one was fine with her. She hoped that she wasn't being too showy, although she was very proud of house. She thought that she had worked pretty hard for it and the photographs that lined the walls were her own photography, so that made the place that much special. |

Ivan thought nothing of it as Alexa took his bag. He was too much in awe and he hadn't even entered the house yet. As they passed the fountain he removed a quarter from his jean pocket and with a simple flick of his thumb, he tossed the quarter into the water. He didn't make a wish though. He didn't know what to wish for at the moment.
"Bienvenido a mi casa."
He stepped into the house after her, darting his eyes all around as he looked at the pictures to the plants and even up toward the ceiling. "Amazing place..." he finally let out as he shut the door behind him. The staircase was his favorite. It reminded him of the staircase that was in the Disney movie The Beauty and the Beast. How cheesy he mocked himself.
"Well, would you like the grand tour, or would you like to get settled in?"
"Uhh, grand tour I guess." He was too busy looking around, examining random things with his eyes. "Do you seriously live on your own? Or do you have roommates or even servants, something." He turned his gaze back to her with a smile.

"Amazing place..."
Alexa blushed softly, the blood painting her cheeks pink. "Um, thanks," she whispered and glanced around. She had lived there for a while now and had gotten used to it, so she guessed it was 'amazing'.
"Uhh, grand tour I guess."
"Okay, I guess we can start with the liivng room," she said and took his hand. The living room was fairly large and open with dark maroon walls and a high ceiling to give it a cozy feeling. A large screen TV was sitting against one wall above a fireplace while a pale cream sectional and matching recliners. A few ceiling fans swirled above. A few photographs adorned the walls and ceilings.
"Kitchen and dining room," she said. The kitchen was up-to-date and modern with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. She ran her hand along the island. "I like to eat breakfast here." In the dining room, it was a bit more formal with a china cabinet on one corner and a long glass table with chairs all around. Two candles sat in the very middle.
"Do you seriously live on your own? Or do you have roommates or even servants, something."
Alexa merely nodded. "Yeah, I'm not home a lot, so I don't get lonely, but I like the solitude." |

Ivan followed her throughout the house like a puppy. He mocked her by running his cold fingers over the granite counter top then on top of the dining room table. He still couldn't believe someone as young as her could own a place like this. The house seemed way to big for someone to live alone in.
As they passed a few pictures, he stopped for a few moments to observe a few of them then continued to follow right behind her. He told himself that he would walk back around himself to get a better look at the pictures, not wanting to ruin the tour by spending time gawking at them.
"Yeah, I'm not home a lot, so I don't get lonely, but I like the solitude."
Like the solitude huh? he thought to himself as he took one of the candles from the dining table and began swinging it around like a little sword. Ivan was a vampire and he hated being alone. Solitude comforted most vampires but it was the complete opposite for Ivan. In fact, that was one of his biggest fears. Ending up completely alone. "I can keep you company." he finally said with a crooked smile.

Alexa continued to rattle on as she passed through the foyer again and up the grand staircase, ignoring him while he through some random candle around. She would probably just laugh if he burned himself again. Some pictures of herself modeling lined the walls both ways down the hallway. "To the left is a couple of guestrooms if you want to stay in those. And to the right is a game room kinda thingy with a movie screen. I thought you'd like that since you like video games." She shrugged.
"I can keep you company."
Alexa turned and blinked at his crooked smile then grinned one of her own. "Oh really, and does that include entertainment?" she asked. She giggled and grabbed his hand. "C'mon. I wanna show you my favorite room."
She led him to the end of the hall and opened the double doors. When they got inside, it would be dark, but Ivan would be able to see. In the corner was a California King black wrought iron bed with crimson draperies settled around. Multiple candles lined the opposite wall, reflecting some of the more beautiful photography not seen outside. There was a slight cave-in where her bathroom stood, that if it hadn't been there, the room would have been a perfect square. On that wall rested a plasma screen TV and a cream sectional that matched the walls wrapped around it. On the last two walls, crimson curtains were also tied back.
Alexa bounded over to the wall to pull back curtains. There was a whoosh as they all flung back to reveal the all glass wall that gave a magnificient view of the city of Hollywood, lights shining like fire in the night. |

Ivan twirled the candle between his fingers, carefully not to burn himself or anything else as they continued through the house. He peeked his head into the game room, darting his eyes about to see what kind of games she had. He spotted a pool table as well as a bunch of video game systems. "Sweet!" he exclaimed before blowing out the flame on the candle and setting it down on a small table.
"Oh really, and does that include entertainment?"
"Uh," he started but was cut off as she took his hand. "Favorite room huh? What is it, the dungeon?" he joked as he tagged along. He quirked a brow as they reached the room and watched as she pushed the large doors open. It took a second for his eyes to readjust as they entered the dark room. Wow is all Ivan could think. He couldn't blame her for making this her favorite room. Not only was it amazing but it had a breath taking view.
In a split second Ivan appeared behind Alexa, wrapping his arms around her waist as he looked out at the city. The lights fascinated him and for a moment he had forgotten exactly where he was. His nostrils flared a bit as he breathed in deeply, taking in Alexa's sweet scent. "So what kind of entertainment were you looking for from me?" he leaned forward, burying his face between her chin and shoulder.

"Sweet!"
Alexa heard him exclaim. She grinned back at him over her shoulder. "You can play some later if you want to." She knew from his collection of video games back at his house that he was a major junkie for them.
"Favorite room huh? What is it, the dungeon?"
Alexa just stared at him for a second then rolled her eyes. "Oh great. So vampires are kinky now, huh?" she asked. She flipped her hair over her shoulder and continued staring out the window. This was her bedroom of course, but they couldn't stay there during the day due to the windows and sun. They could camp out in the basement den.
Alexa smiled softly when she felt his arms wrap around waist and let her head rest on his chest. She heard him ask about the entertainment and she merely shrugged, content. "I guess just to be with you. That seems to be very entertaining in itself." |

"I guess just to be with you. That seems to be very entertaining in itself."
"Oh really?" Now, Ivan realized that she did feel the same for him as he did her. At least that's what he hoped from what she said. He pressed his lips against the side of her neck, placing a gentle kiss there before moving to her jawline then cheek. He pushed the thought of biting her to the side, trying to fight his hunger.
He kept one hand rested on her hip while he ran his fingers across the end of her shirt with the other. Like before when they were at his house, he was worried about taking it too far. He still wasn't certain about how she actually felt towards him, gathering from previous events. If she didn't care then she wouldn't have invited you over. He tried his best to reassure himself as he began sliding her shirt up.
It was strange for him, falling in love with a human. Especially one as young as her. But she didn't look or act her age which had thrown Ivan off. Why did she care for him in the first place? That's what he wanted to know.

"Oh really?"
"Oh yes. Very much." Alexa tilted her head automatically as she felt his cold lips trailing around her neck and jawline. It wasn't unpleasant, the coldness of his body against hers. It was actually very pleasurable. Different from the normal heat gave off by other people.
Alexa's eyes drifted down as she felt his fingers brush against her waistline but merely pushed it off. See where go things went. She let him start to lift the shirt. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed him gently against the glass. Good thing it was strong and supportive.
Alexa captured his wondering mouth with her own. Tracing the entrance with her tongue, she wondered what he would taste like inside. Probably cool as well, but again, not unpleasurable. Who knew? No one until you did taste. |

Ivan allowed her to press him back against the glass and smiled, feeling her warm gentle arms around his neck. All thoughts were lost once her lips made contact with his. All he could think about was her. He let his tongue dance against hers, his eyes sliding shut. If his heart was beating, it would have stopped. If he was breathing, his breath would have been taken away.
Alexa's lips were soft and sweet. He listened as her heartbeat changed pace from slow then to fast. He playfully bit down at her bottom lip, careful so that his fangs didn't hurt her. He broke the kiss for a moment and leaned back, bringing her shirt up and over her head. He still felt hesitant about the situation but figured if she told him to stop anything, he would.
He in turn removed his shirt and tossed it aside along with hers. He leaned back forward, trailing his finger tips down her side and around her stomach. He trailed more kisses along her slender shoulder and up her neck and jawline til he found her lips again. He pressed himself against her, feeling somewhat bad for her, knowing that his body must have felt like ice.
