The smell of eggs in the room wakes me up and immediately my mouth watered at the smell. I sit up and look around until I find Nathan standing in front of me with the plate in his hands. He hands me the plate.

I give him a thankful smile and grab the plate and start to eat. Nathan sits next to me and watches me eat. Once I'm done he hands me two pills with a glass of orange juice. At the pills, I stare at them suspiciously.

I look up to stare at his eyes and I see hurt in them, which he tries to hide. "Is Vitamin B-12." He murmurs and his tone is like a child that has been reprimanded. I feel so guilty for hurting his feelings that I take the pills without further questioning him and pop them inside my mouth and wash them down with the orange juice.

"Zoey?" I look up to stare into his eyes. "I... Haven't had blood in a while..." I purse my lips and stare at him. "Could I-"

"Yes." I interrupt him and lay back down on the bed. I am so nervous and stiff from what I'm letting Nathan do. Nathan cups my breast and massages them efficiently relaxing me.

Nathan sank his fangs into my neck letting a whimper escape my lips.  Nathan drinks my blood but doesn't take much. In fact, he barely takes much at all. He licks my neck healing it then sits back winking at me.

Out of nowhere, Nathan caresses my cheek with the back of his hands softly. The affectionate act makes me blush. We have been together for what has felt like an eternity and he has never shown me this side of him. Deep down I didn't like it if I let his sweetness enter my heart I would end up with a cavity. 

Nathan kept his little-affectionate act for what felt like forever I was about to stop him when he smiles warmly at me as if he wants to say something.

"What?" I try to sound like my old self but it comes out in a murmur.

"Happy Birthday Zoey," My jaw literally snaps open almost hitting the bed. I stare at Nathan in pure disbelieve. How does he know?  Nathan leans towards me really really slow and gives me a soft kiss on my forehead leaving me stunned on the bed. 

Nathan stands up and goes to the bedroom mini fridge getting a cake out of it and walks right back to me grabbing a lighter on his way back to the bed.

In my short life, I never celebrated my birthday... There was nothing to celebrate... I used to go to my bar and just order something different from my usual... A stupid tear falls down my cheek, and I clean it fast before Nathan sees it.

Nathan sits on the bed legs crossed. How he managed to sit down on the bed while holding a cake and lighter in hands without letting them fall to the bed was amazing to see.

I stare down at the cake. The frosting was white and on top of the cake was two candle making the number 19. Nathan lights up the candle but I don't pay attention to that I keep staring at the cake.

On top of the cake was a light brown haired girl that was holding a stake in the air with blood dripping down from it. The girl looks scarily like me. I stare at the image for a long moment then looked up to stared at Nathan's mouth agape.

"How did you know?" I whisper. He gives me a soft smile, that has a mixture of crookedness on it. It is the most beautiful smile on this man's face and I stare at it, memorizing it.

"I have been watching you for a while, Miss Lehane. I know you like the palm of my hand." I smiled amusedly at him.

"That doesn't sound creepy at all," I say sarcastically. His response is a roll of his eyes.

"Now blow on this." I laugh at the sexual innuendo and obey. He takes the candle out and put the cake on the bed. "Let me get a knife."

"We don't need a knife," I say with a mischievous tone. He frowns staring at me. I grab a fist full of cake and shove it in his face.

Nathans just stands there stunned for a moment at my action. He takes the cake and looks offended as he put it on the nightstand, no doubt protecting the what is left of the cake from me.

Nathan puts a finger on the cheek that is cover with cake and frosting and swipes it up getting it on his finger as he stares at me. He makes a small moan as he savors the cake. "It has ice cream in the middle. I gather you don't like cakes?" I smile wider. He is trying to disguise his disappointment.

"You gather wrong."

"Then what's with the wasting ness?" I laugh.

"You're going too soft on me, Mister Novack." He arches an eyebrow at me in disbelieve.

"Am I now?"

"Yes," I say matter of factly.

"Well, I guess I won't give you your present-"

"I thought the cake was my present," I murmur staring at him in pure curiosity.

"Nope, the cake was the gesture before the gift."

"What is it?" I was practically bouncing on the bed. I had never before celebrated my birthday and I was enjoying this one a lot.

"No! Screw you, little Slayer." I know he's just playing hard to get because he says the sentence with a crooked smile. He stands up and goes to the bathroom and leans under the sink cleaning his face. I stand up and ignore the fact that I am naked and run to the bathroom.

"I'm sorry for my behavior," I say in a girly voice. "I would really much like my gift now." Nathan grabs a small towel and a put it on his face to dry the water off. "I'm sorry," I say again making the girly voice even more feminine. Nathan opens the medicine cabinet and gives me a small wrapped box. I glare at it as I do not like the reminder. Nathan's crooked smile grows.

"Last time you gave me a box... I was not very happy with what happened next..." Nathan crooked smile on his faces dies and is replaced by his fake one. He did not like the reminder either.

"It's just you and me. Trust me," He murmurs. I nod and open the box with shaky hands. I stared at the beautiful necklace as stupid tears fall down my eyes. How could Nathan get me this much?

"I bought it a few months back... Haven't found the perfect moment to give it to you. May I?" I nod only. He takes the necklace out of the box and put it on me.

"I hate you." Nathan looks at me with a soft smile.

"Take it back, Zoey."

"No. I hate you-"

"That's not what you say when someone gives you a gift-"

"It's what  I say-"

"Take it back Lehane," There was a warning tone.

"No," I say stubbornly and walk back to the bed. I can feel Nathan following me.

"You forget who you are dealing with little Slayer."

"Do I now?" I turn to smile at him smugly and he has a big piece of cake in his hand, which looks really threateningly. I stare eyes wide.

"Take. It. Back... What do you say when someone gives you something you like?"

"I." He nods. Urging me to continue. "Hate you." He plants the whole cake on my face making me yelp. I try to run away from him, but he just holds me by the waist and rubs more cake on my face. I yelp again between giggles. "Thank you! Thank You! I love it!" He throws me on the bed hard and I keep laughing.

"This reminds me of something."

"What?" I said still laughing. Looking up to stare at him. I was naked, and he undressed really fast making me roam his body...

"We are both dirty." I laugh and in an instant, I was over his shoulders as he runs towards the bathroom with me in his arms. He gets in the shower still holding me and turning the water on.

"Nathan I can stand on my own two feet." I remind him.

"You are just too light I forgot I have you in my arms." He says sarcastically. He put me down gently pushing me against the wall...

After an hour of sex in the shower, we get out and start getting dress.

"So you want to go to the beach?" He says suddenly.

"Beach?" I repeat.

"Yes, the beach here is amazing." I nod. He gets out of the bed and I stay on the bed I'm guessing too long because he turned towards me. Grabs my ankle and slide me on the bed until my legs dangling.

 He rests both hands on the bed and lowers himself until we are face to face. Then his eyes start roaming my body turning me on. He keeps looking down until he stares at my crotch. He leans down as to put his mouth in between my legs but all of the sudden he just slip in a bikini bottom. Then he pulls me off the bed and put the top on. He fixed my hair into a ponytail. Then put shots on himself. I put a hand on his chest and caress it.

We walked out of the beautiful hotel room towards the lobby then the car. As we drive off something occurred to me.

"Don't we need, beaches supplies." He shakes his head.

"I rented us a private place for you and me." We drive for about an hour. Once at the beach, he shows an ID which the attendant scan then takes us to a private placement of the beach with long chairs, coolers, etc. and they took us to what he said a private place with long chairs, coolers etc,

"Your usual tent Sir." The guy lets us in and I sit down staring at Nathan. Nathan grabs my wrist pulling me to him.

"I want to upgrade to royal." The guy stares at Nathan as if he was confused.

"Royal Sir?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"No... Follow me." We follow him. The guy stops by a solitary tent but the word was short, it was more than royal. The cooler was a lot bigger the beach chairs looked more like beds and the tent was really private inside. I open the cooler with pure curiosity and it was full of expensive alcohol. The table was full of different types of fruit, there's a fan blowing air with mist. It was really hard for the inside of the tent get hot.

"If we get this tent why do we need the water?" I say sarcastically. Nathan smirks and grabs my wrist putting me on his back. I yelp. He runs towards the water human speed. "Let me go!" The asshole ignores me and keeps running towards the water. "Nathan Novak If you drop me in the damn water I swear-"

He ignores my treat and a scream leaves my body as he moves me to a vampire speed until I am in front of him bridal style. I smile proud of my little treat but is short-lived. He throws me into the water hard, Making a big splash. 

I stand up and splash water in his face. Nathan lets out a fake yelp and turns giving me a view of his broad back. I jump on his back and he just lets himself fall back into the water making me submerge under it first, then him.

We spend all day in the water playing and goofing around until I forget my worries and just relax. We aren't hunter and vampire. We are two people having fun together. All of the sudden Nathan disappear on me. I look at the water and around desperately scare out of my mind.  Vampires can't drown, can they?

"Nathan?" I whisper, not trying to make a scene. "Nathan?" All of the sudden he jumps off the water hands raised like a monster screaming.

"AHHH!" I scream and splash water on his face.

"You're such an asshole!" He laughs, and it was a carefree laugh, that made him look hot. He submerged again no doubt to do the same. But this time I run out of the water and start running away from the beach, looking back from time to time to check if he notices yet. I was almost out of the beach when I was tackled to the sand hard. Nathan flips me and stays on top of me. I started to laugh hard. But my laugh dies when I stare at his face. "What's wrong?"

"Were you leaving me?" He whispers and the sound is so small and so insecure. Is so unliked him. I frown at his question at a loss for a second... Why would he think-  You weren't?" He asks hiding his hurt.

"No. I was just playing catch..." He smiles, but the hurt was still there. "Did... Did I scare you?" He nods only. He stands up and pulled me to him. "We are leaving?"

"Yes." He says only.

"To the fountain?" I ask hopefully.

"No... to the hotel... It was supposed to be a three-day vacation..." He walks holding my hand too hard, but I didn't say anything. At the hotel, I take a quick shower with Nathan, but the water was warmer than Nathan.

 I put on PJs and get on the bed. After Nathan showers, he walks out of the hotel. I try waiting for him, but eventually, fall asleep. I don't know how late Nathan returns

 Nathan got out of the hotel. I waited for him, but eventually, I fell asleep. I don't know how late it was when he came back. He gave me a kiss on the back of my head and got in the bed with me holding me the entire night.

The next day we are up and ready early. Nathan keeps texting and talking on his phone the whole way. I walk out of paradise with Nathan with chagrin. Nathan opens the door of my side like a gentleman. Once I'm inside Nathan locks my side of the door then gets in the car and drive off.

I turn and stare at the hotel sadly saying goodbye to it. Now we are back to the real world...
