Rico could not believe that he was lying here telling Marissa all about himself, hell he couldn’t believe she wanted to learn it all after everything he had done to her.  Even though his vampire sense told him that Marissa was his soul mate, her being right here and not locked away somewhere in the house away from him proved it even more.<br/><br/>Rico did laugh a little as she batted her beautiful green eyes at him, the kind of eyes that made you think you were swimming in the sea far away from land and everything.  “You can say pretty please and bat those lovely green eyes at me anytime, but that doesn’t mean I am going to cave.”  Rico knew that as the years would go one she could probably get him to do anything for her.<br/><br/>Marissa had a very valid point about the living and dying point and even though in the beginning it was rough for him, he would never regret his decision.  “Well technically I am still dead, and maybe when I first was changed I wished I had said no, but after 800 years I finally found what I have been looking for so it makes it all worth the wile.”  Rico said with a smile<br/><br/>Rico sighed and shook his head a little when she wanted to know about some of the challenges he face so he closed his eyes and begin to think about them.  “Well back in my beginning vampires were still bloody savages and left a slew of bloody corpses everywhere.  We didn’t know back then that you could drain a body and still leave them alive and make them forget.”  Rico said.  "It is hard once you first turn, the bloodlust will drive you crazy.  But I am sure with my help you will do ok."
