"Why did you drag me out here," I asked, folding my arms across my chest. "I think I have a way where we can solve both of our problems," he began. "I'm proposing that you be my future bride, and in exchange, I will help fund your research department and your parent's shop however I can." "Okay, but why me? I mean, you have a horde of women pursuing you. Why not just date one of them?" I asked "Because they actually want to marry me. You are…decent enough to get the job done," he said with a snide smile on his face. "We are going to have to work on your complementing skills, I see," I muttered. "Look, are you in or not?" Grey demanded. I sighed. There wasn't much of a downside to taking the deal. If anything went wrong, I could always pull out of it, right? I nodded, "I'm in."

"Wait," Nathaniel began, catching my arm, "I'm serious you know, about what I asked yesterday." I stared up at him, his eyes were soft, but they held mine intently. I licked my lips.

Nathaniel let go of my arm and held his hands up. "I’m sorry, I meant no offense. But, just, have dinner with me." Nathaniel shoved his hands into his pockets and gave me a crooked smile. I sighed, mostly because I had wanted this since the first time I had met him. But there was the other part of me that knew this only meant trouble. I looked around to make sure we were alone before responding, "Fine, I will pick you up after I get off work." Even though I knew agreeing to a date with a vampire would only lead to heartbreak.
