The girl turned away from the window when she heard her name being called. She kept looking at the door, her hands hanging nervously at her sides. Since she called him that night a week ago; she found herself in another place.

“There you are. Why didn’t you answer?” Thomas stepped into the lavish living room. He was dressed in a very expensive suit and a blood red shirt. He was a completely different man then the one whom she discovered in the Cemetery.

“Hi,” she answered nervously.

“Are you okay Maya?” he now stood right in front of her reaching out to take hold of her hands. He softly brushed with his lips over the texture of her skin. Again, those little sparks of instant attractions. He has such a gentle look in his eyes that the very look simply pulled her closer to him.

His hand lay softly across her heart. He can feel the strong beating. She suddenly felt his lips against her neck softly kissing the artery there. “Are you hungry Maya?
