• I must have blacked out. I felt his strong arms around me and a light breeze blowing. I opened my eyes to see his perfect face. But then I remembered the last text he sent me. I scooted away from him. He looked hurt but slowly composed his face. "Nicky... I didn't know how to tell you. I'm so sorry." He looked really sorry. But should I trust a vampire? Would I trust a vampire? "Romeo, why arn't you sucking my blood, or burning up in the sun," I pointed to the sun. "Or or..." He started laughing. "Nick... Hehe! I'm not sucking your blood because I am very self-controlled and also, I'm a different breed of vampire. It hurts to be in the sun but oh well..." He smiled and I looked over to see we were in the pool area. "Wheres Tasha? If she knew I was with you, than..." He shook his head. "Nah, she went back to get Jeff and Jake. So your safe with me for a few minutes or so." I rolled my jeans up and dipped my bare feet into the pool. "If Tasha doesn't like vampires... Than what is she?" I looked over at Romeo who also had his feet in the pool. "Ugh... Tasha is the Regina ragno." He looked down. "Rome-." He grabbed my hand. "Call me, Rome." He rolled his r and I giggled. "Rome, what does Regina ragno mean, anyways?" I heard Tasha's car pull up into the driveway. "Tasha wont leave you alone, Nicky." He looked around. "Kiss me and show me that you trust me!" He leaned in. I hesitated but kissed him. He kissed back and smiled. "I'll text, call, or see you soon, Nicky!" I looked down than back up and he was gone.

    I got up and ran into the house through the back door and then ran up to my room. I shut the door and quickly walked over to my laptop. I got on google and typed in "Regina Ragno." The results showed that it was Italian for Spider Queen. I closed the search and ran to my closet. I got on a pair of black P.J pants and a red tank top. I looked over at my clock. 4:46! Just great! I sighed and jumped onto my bed. A light knock made me jump. "Y-yeah?" The door opened the slightest bit and Tasha poked her head in. "Nicky, dear, I need to talk with you." I nodded and she came in and sat on the end of my bed. "Stay away from that boy." I shook my head. "Not happening s-, Tasha." What the hell was wrong with me?! I almost just called her spider! Eh, gross! Spiders are nasty. Ima squish her if she transforms or whatever into one. "We can do this the hard way or the easy way, your descion." God, she was such a cold-hearted b***h. What did my poor lost of a soul father see in her? "Hard way! I actually have a date with Romeo, tonight. I was just about to get ready..." She growled. I mean she actually growled. "He tells lies, Nicky." I nodded. "And so do you." She growled (spider? I think a dog would fit how she acted)) got up and left. I grabbed my phone and called Rome. "Nicky? Is everything okay?" Jeez did he sound worried! "Yeah... Wanna go out with me tonight?" I smiled and lightly giggled. "Nicky..." He sounded serious. "Romeo please... I can't stand to be around a spider mom." He laughed. "Okay I'l be there soon. Dress nice?" I giggled. "Will do, Rome." We hung up and I ran to my closet. I got on a nice sliming black dress, heels, and put my make-up on. I started to walk downstairs and I heard Tasha crying. "I-I just told our Nicky that I wanted to spend some time with her and she started yelling at me, Jeff! She wants to go out with some boy that I have already met and have disapproved of..." She sobbed and I walked downstairs. I ran back up and grabbed my red purse, put my phone and make-up in it. I quickly fluffed my hair and walked down stairs. Tasha was still crying! Wow what an actress... And she's pulling my dad into her nasty little spider-web. I walked passed them quickly. "Nicky. You may no go out tonight." I turned around to see Jeff holding the crying (faking spider) in his arms. "Jeff... I did not yell at her! You would have heard me, duh! And also... ******** family time! I'm out. Don't expect me back!" I saw Tasha smile and I wanted to slap her. But I didn't. "Nicky get up in your room now!" I started crying myself and ran up the stairs. I sat down on my bed and stopped crying. There was a knock on my window and I jumped. "Rome!" I jumped up and opened the window. He looked pissed. I mean seriously outraged pissed. "Pack enough things for three weeks."

    I nodded and grabbed my bags and repacked. (but re-packed the newer things) I stopped packing and looked up at him. He was checking me out! He looked away looking embrassed. I finished packing and he took my bags and ducked out the window. I looked down and he wasn't there. I sighed picked up, my purse and sat by the window. "Nick!" I looked out to see him standing there with his arms out. "Jump, Nick! Hurray!" I shook my head and he climbed through my window. "Nicky... You kissed me earlier to show that you trusted me." I nodded and he picked me up and ducked out of the window. Before I could blink we were at an airport. He set me down and I blinked confused as hell. "Sorry, Nick.. My breed of vamp has speed." I nodded and he took my hand. I interlaced our fingers. We walked through the airport and up to the front desk. "Two tickets to Italy, please." she nodded. "That plane is boarding now if you'd like to just go..." She handed him the tickets and we started walking fast to the plane. We got on first class and took our seats. "It's about an 7 to an 8 hour flight so get some sleep." He touched my cheek and I leaned back and instantly fell asleep. I certainly didn't dream and when I woke up Rome smiled. "Morning, angel." Was it morning? Do I really care? Nope! I smiled and stretched. "The plane will be landing in 5 minutes." I blinked competly surprised. "Did I sleep the whole plane trip?" He shook his head. "We have took three planes, Nicky..." I blinked yet again totally confused. He smiled. "We're going to my parents island." I nodded. Parents island? I smiled. Richy little family he's got doesn't he? We got off the plane and onto the mainlands of Italy. We stopped at a dock and we got on a nice little luxuary boat. I think I fell asleep again because I woke in a big white down-feather comforter. I looked around. No, Romeo... I got up and flicked on the lights. The whole house looked like the Spider Queen and Jeff's house so no biggie. I saw a note on the counter. I picked it up. "I'm sorry to leave you. I need to get myself the things I need to control myself around you. I love you, Nicky... I wont be too long." I put the note down and sighed. I felt two arms wrap around me. "Sorry I left you." I smiled. And wow! Had he's always felt cold? Weird... "It's fine." I heard my phone ring and went over to check it. Rome was right behind me.

    "Ello?" I could hear someone crying. "Nicky! Where are you?! You have me and your mother worried sick!" I smiled and shook my head. "You don't need to know. I'm never coming back. Bye! Oh and tell Jake I love him and I'm sorry." I hung up the phone and turned around to see Romeo stare at me. "Brave, Nick..." I smiled again and hugged him. He leaned down and kissed me. Not just one of those little lip pecks I mean he kissed me passionatly. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him back. He picked me up and layed me down on the bed. Ah, no. Was he planning to uh...? I kept kissing him and his hand went up my shirt.
