Rose POV

“Come on Rosie, let’s get married,” Chris said with a happy smile on his face. “I can make you happier as no mortal man could ever, we love each other and I have your mother's blessing.” He stooped down to one knee and pulled a ring box containing a diamond ring inside of it. Rose couldn’t contain her excitement, her boyfriend of five years was asking to marry her. They were too young for marriage, her being eighteen with him one year her senior. They were young, dumb and in love and everyone said they were destined to get married. Well, if her all-knowing mother said yes, then she could do. “Yes, of course, I’ll marry you,” Rose said, as she lifted Chris up and kissed him passionately. Still standing amidst the chaos that was the Italian restaurant they were currently dining in. “Now let’s eat, before my minestrone gets cold,” Rose said with a smile. Of course, he asked me to be his wife in Olive Garden, my favourite restaurant.

Sebastian’s POV

I watched Rose leave her date with her boyfriend Chris from my 1969 Chevy Camaro Convertible. She was beautiful in all her glory. From her dark brown curly hair to her perky breasts and caramel skin. She was beautiful in every way. As she started to undress, I could feel the shift in my pants. Today was the day I was going to officially meet her and make her mine. The thought of being able to make her mine was enough to make my teeth ache for sustenance that only came from the necks of humans. I begrudgingly took my eyes off of Rose to look for prey around the neighbourhood. I grumbled. It seemed like there was nobody outside of their house today. I exited my vehicle and headed into the woods not far from Rose’s house and search for my unsuspecting prey. After my feed, I headed towards my loves house, smiling to myself. Shortly after, I was on her ledge about to open her window when my phone started vibrating in my pocket. I vamp-sped into my car and picked up the call without missing a beat. Twenty minutes went into the call and my fun would have to wait. I suppose I could always come back for Rose another day.
