I watch as my beloved drives away from the house, feeling the ache of loneliness sinking into my chest. I spin around and head back into my room, closing the patio door behind me. I finish getting dressed -slicking my hair back like I usually do as well as grab my cell phone- before exiting my room. I walk down the long corridor of the house, walking past the loft and down the staircase," Goodmorning guys." I greet, smiling slightly at everyone.

   " Morning Leo!" Ella greets, smiling brightly at me before turning back around a pouring a cup of blood for me. She rips open the blood pack and pours it into a mug before turning back around and lending the cup out to me," You're beloved just left; You didn't tell me he was so pretty?!"

   I chuckle and accepted the cup, sitting down on the steps of the staircase," Yeah, he really is. The most beautiful person I've ever seen." I say, letting out a dreamy sigh before taking a sip of the blood.

   Ella leans back on the couch, looking at me with curious eyes," SOOO.....did you guys mate last night or what?" Ella suddenly asks, causing me to choke on my drink.

   " E-Ella!" Levi scolded, smacking Ella's shoulder," T-That's not appropriate for you to say."

   Ella holds her hands up in surrender, giving Levi the look of fake innocence," Whaaat? I'm curious." she argues before turning back towards me," So? Did you?"

   " No, we didn't," I state, taking a quick sip of my blood before continuing," I didn't feel right; he was intoxicated and I didn't want him to feel like I took advantage of him or something. I need him to trust me."

   " AWWW!!! You're too sweet Leo." Ella gushed, causing a light blush to cross my face," But I assume you marked him? I could sense your guy's bond when he came downstairs." 

   " Y-Yeah...I did." I answer, slightly embarrassed.

   " I just can't believe it!" Ella exclaims, falling back onto the couch," This is such a big deal! You found your beloved, your soulmate! You don't know how lucky you are Leo." 

   " I do I do, and that's why I can't screw this up; if I scare him, he'll run. I don't think I'll survive if he leaves." I say, letting out a worried sigh.

   " You are so whipped," Sebastian states, finally joining the conversation as he smirked at me.

   " Totally whipped."

   " Without a doubt."

   " Shut guys..." I growl playfully, watching as everyone cracked up around me," So did Isabella and Max leave already?"

   " Yup. Max is already at the bar, and Isabella went to the hospital, saying that she had tons of paperwork to do." Sebastion answered, sighing to himself as he looked over at the pancakes he had made for Angel," What am I going to do with all with food...?"

   " W-We can still eat it, Sebastion. You know that." Levi says with his usual stutter, smiling reassuringly," Just because we don't need food d-doesn't mean we can't eat it."

   " Still...what's the point?" Sebastion sighs once more before dumping all the dirty dishes into the sink, dusting his hands off as he walked into the living room," So what are you going to do about your beloved? It won't take long till you start craving his blood, and your thirst will only get worse as time goes on. We don't need you jumping him in public or something."

   I rake my hand through my dark locks, letting out another stressful sigh," I don't know...I should try to get to know him better, get closer to him till he's comfortable with me." I state, looking up at everyone hoping they had an answer," But I don't even know his number..! How am I suppose to contact him?"

   " I have Amy's." Sebastion states before pulling his phone out from his back pocket," I could text her asking for it."

   " Who's Amy?"

   " Oh. She's the pink-haired chick that walked in with your beloved. She's close friends with him, so I'll try getting his number for you." He answers, his eyes glued to his phone screen.

   " You guys exchanged numbers?"

   " You talked with a girl?"

   " You talked to someone other than us?"

   Pink dusted Sebastion's cheeks and didn't reply to anyone's questions. After a few minutes, Sebastion finally looked up from his phone screen," I got the number; I'll text it to you." he says," I had also asked where he was working right now -you're welcome- and she said he'd be somewhere near Bourbon Street."

   I nod my head, smiling as I stood up from my spot on the stairs," Thank you Sebastion; I owe you." 

   Sebastion rolls his eyes, smiling slightly," You always say that."

   I chuckle and quickly grab my car keys and jackets before bolting out the door," I mean it this time!"

   " Sure you do!"

   " Goodluck with your beloved!"

   " Swoon him with your good looks and charm!"

   I wave to everyone one last time before jogging over to my white Chevrolet Mustang, slipping my jacket on in the process. I unlock my car and jump in. Since I know New Orleans like the back of my hand, I am able to take shortcuts and make it to Bourbon Street within record time. The streets were already packed with tourists and street artists and musicians.

   I double check myself in the rearview mirror, making sure I looked good before getting out of the car. I lock my mustang as I began walking down the crowded street of New Orleans in search of my beloved. A small smile formed on my face as I continued to walk, enjoying the fun, festive vibe I got just by walking around.

   I turned down the street, my hands stuffed into the pockets of my jeans as I walked. I noticed a small crowd surrounding an area, and decide to investigate. As I draw closer, the melody of a ukulele drifts into my ears, causing a small to spread across my face. Soon, a voice of an angel joins the melody.

   Wise men say, 

   Only fools rush in,

   But I can't help, falling in love with you~

   I walk closer and closer till I am at the front of the crowd. And there, I see my beloved standing on the street corner, playing the ukulele as he sung 'Can't Help Falling In Love With You' by Elvis Presley. My smile widens as I continue to watch Angel play.

   Shall I stay,

   Would that be a sin?

   If I can't help, falling in love with you~

   He surveils the crowd, looking at everyone's smiling faces before his gaze falls onto me. His beautiful violet eyes widen in surprise as he continues to sing, a prominent blush covering his cheeks. Oh, how I wish I had Max's telepathy ability right now; I want to know what's going on in that beautiful mind of his.

   I couldn't help but stare in awe at him as he continued to play for the crowd; he looked stunning. His light blonde hair shined in the sunlight, his porcelain skin was glowing within the light. And his eyes. Oh, how I swoon over his eyes. They are just so captivating, but it's obvious he's self-conscious about them, and himself for that matter.

    I fell in love with Angel the moment I laid eyes on him in the bar. Even before I knew he was my beloved, he bewitched me with his looks and stole my breath away (if I had any that is).

   " A-Are you going to stand there all day and stare or what?" I am brought back from my thoughts by the sound of my beloved's lovely voice. I look down and see Angel standing there, his cheeks burning red as he held tightly onto his ukulele. I had only now realized that he finished singing.

   " Sorry, I was...thinking," I answer, feeling my non-beating heart clench in my chest just by being near him," You sing beautifully, and you're instrumental skills are impeccable."

   His blush seemed to burn brighter, if that was possible," T-Thanks," Angel stutters a response before looking over at the rest of his instruments he had brought along," You should hear me play the others."

   " I'd be happy to," I say, smiling down at the flustered Angel before me," I bet you're amazing at them."

   " Why does he keeps saying things like that? My heart feels like it's going to explode..." He mutters to himself, though I am able to hear him with my advanced hearing," S-So...why are you here?"

   " I wanted to get to know you better," I state, watching Angel's reaction.

   His body becomes stiffer, his eyes glued to the ground underneath his feet," R-Really?" Angel asks, shyly looking up at me with his beautifully-colored eyes. But he looks away once he makes eye contact with me.

   A smirk makes its way onto my face as I grab a hold of Angel's chin, lifting his face up to make eye contact with me," Of course."

   " WOOHOO!!!" Our heads snap in the direction of the shouting voice, and we spot a short brunette girl frantically jumping up and down on the sidewalk. She wore a shirt that said 'Lesbi-Honest' and had the widest smile on her face. Frankly, I thought her face would break from all the smiling," YAY FOR GAY! LOVE IS LOVE!" The girl screams, waving a rainbow flag in her hand. 

   Angel's face burned a new shade of red, causing me to chuckle as I watched the girl be dragged off by another taller female. And by the looks the shorter female was giving the larger girl, they were obviously lovers.

   " They seem supportive," I state, looking down at the blushing boy beside me," So, Angel, what do you say?"

   He looks away nervously, adjusting and re-adjusting his grip on his ukulele," I-I mean...I still have work, but..." he looked at his instruments before looking back up me,"...Only for a little bit, I guess."

    I smile widens as I lean down and place a kiss on Angel's left cheek," Great! We'll put your instruments in my car, then we'll walk around, okay?" I say, looking at Angel for his approval. He seems too stunned by the kiss on the cheek that he only nodded. I smiled once more (I seem to be doing that a lot) before grabbing a hold of his small hand, intertwining his finger with mine," Let's get going then shall we?"
