Rico could not help but enjoy the look on Marissa’s face as she looked around the library.  He could not even remember all the places that he had gotten the books and as he followed her around the room he was giving himself a chance to look at some of the books.  He could not remember the last time he had looked this room over so much.  “Along the wall over there.”  Rico said pointing towards the window in the back of the room, “Those are journals I have written over the years recounting many things in the world.”<br/><br/>Rico had noticed the blush in her cheeks at his compliments and Rico knew he would not always have them.  The only reason he was being so wonderful and affectionate to her at this point was to keep her interested, he couldn’t be this way all the time it would ruin his reputation.  But then when they were in private he might be able to spare a little affection for her. “You are free to roam through my library in my robe as often as you like.”<br/><br/>Rico sat at one of the barstools that was at the island in the kitchen while he watched Marissa roam around the kitchen looking for something to fix to eat.  “To be honest I do not eat a lot of food unless I have to for show.”  Rico said rolling the orange that was sitting on the island.  “I have to have food for the humans that come and go around here, and Alice likes to cook for them.  She is almost like my mother hen.”<br/><br/>Rico was enjoying watching her flit around the kitchen and knew that he had made the right choice in the woman that he picked out, even if she was picked for him.  But then we don’t need to pinpoint the details.  “Well what kind of details do you want to know?”  Rico asked, “I am a centuries old vampire who has seen one too many wars and have been looking for happiness for a long time.”
