Marco had gotten into the driver seat and started to pull away.  He could tell that they need privacy in the back so he closed the window that separated him from them.  He could tell his princess was upset and the man with her was upset too, this was not good their Highness would not like unhappy people at the gathering so he decided that he would take his time getting to where they needed to go.<br/><br/>Reni got a look up at Marco for a moment and saw him give her a slight smile, and she tried to show him she was ok.  Marco had been around her as far back as she could remember and he knew all there was to know about Reni.  Marco just drove and didn't try to say anything and for that Reni was happy.<br/><br/>Reni was looking at the window catching herself drawing lines on it as the drove down the drive.  She was listening to the things that Dustin was saying and she knew she was expecting too much from him too fast it was her fault, she knew how hard this was him.<br/><br/>"I am the one who should be sorry, I know how you feel I should not have tried to push you into something you were not ready for.  I can have Marco turn around and take you back home if you want."  Reni sighed taking a tissue cleaning up her eyes a little.  Reni wanted him to be with her, he was her best friend even if nothing else would ever happen.<br/><br/>She could not believe he really paid attention to what she did or the looks she had.  Most guys would never notice anything like that.  But she still couldn't agree with him she could not see what he said he saw in her.  She was nothing but a piece of ass for the guys to play with when they felt like it.  Since she had been hanging out with Dustin the other guys left her alone, and she didn't feel upset about it at all.  To be honest Reni could not see her being with any other guy but Dustin and she didn't care how long it took.<br/><br/>"Dustin, you don't bring me pain, I am always happy when I am around you.  Yes I cry, but its because I hate what has happened to you.  I hate that you feel that you don't deserve my friendship, my love.  Anything that I want to give you.  Thats why I cry."  Reni sighed again. "I want to to know that you deserve everything I can give you.<br/><br/>Reni kicked off her boots and pulled her feet up into the seat with her, she knew the drive would take awhile and she needed to feel safe with herself.  Reni was so lost in her own thoughts she had almost missed what he was saying about her and how he felt about her.  All Reni wanted to do was hold and kiss him and tell him how perfect he was for her just the way he was, but she knew she couldn't.  But one day they would be able to show affection to each other.  Even not she had enough for the both of them and she wasn't going to leave him because of it.<br/><br/>"Dustin, no one is going to swoop in here and take me away from you. I don't want anyone but you.  If it takes you forever to touch me, then so be it.  I am happy with what I do get, if we never get past that then I guess we don't."<br/><br/>The one thing that did worry her even though she tried not to, she was a vampire and could live forever, he was human and that meant she would have to let him go someday and how was she going to do that.<br/><br/>"Do you want me to have Marco go back?  If it would make you feel better we can."  Reni asked very honestly.
