Rico was enjoying sleeping with Marissa and found that it was actually a peaceful sleep.  He assumed that maybe that was because she was supposed to be there, to be with him.  Of course he was still a light sleeper and being a vampire you have to be or you would be very vulnerable to your enemies.  That of course was where the sleeping in coffins came into play, they were hard to get into once you shut and locked the door from the inside.<br/><br/>This meant that when Marissa woke up and got out of bed Rico felt her move and climb out of the bed.  Rico decided that he would lay there and just listen to her to see what she was going to do.  He had promise her that he would try and give her a little bit of trust and that was something he was working on.  He smirked when he heard her open the fridge and wondered what she thought of the blood.<br/><br/>When he heard the door open he waited a few moments before he left the bed himself leaving in just his pajama pants and no shirt.  He had gone to the closet to grab his favorite robe only to discover it was gone.  He knew that if she attempted to leave the premises that a warning system would go off.  With a house full of vampire a person had to have a alarm system because everyone slept during the day for the most part.<br/><br/>He easily followed her scent down the hall and into his office/library room that he had.  Of course he had a bigger library in the other side of the house so he would have to show it too her later.  He could not help but sit and watch her from a spot where she could not see him.  He loved the way she moved around his office, almost like she was meant to be there.  After she had chosen a book he watched her curl up in the chair.  He was unsure if she was even aware of how much of a in depth look she got in her face while she was reading.  Every once in awhile he noticed her take her moist, pink tongue and lick her lips.  Then he noticed that she was sitting there twirling a piece of her hair with her finger.<br/><br/>After awhile he moved and stood in the doorway leaning against it with his arms crossed at his chest just watching her wondering how long it would take her to notice that he was there.  When she finally noticed him he could not help but smile as she smiled up at him.  He had to admit in the light of the library she was rather beautiful.  “Hello to you too beautiful.”  Rico said as he made his way over to where she was sitting and found himself sitting on the arm of the chair.  “I was sleeping rather well until my bedmate left me.  Not that I am upset, I want you to feel comfortable around my home since it is yours now too.”<br/><br/>Rico reached over and placed the piece of hair she had been twirling behind her ear then leaned down and kissed her gently.  “How are you doing?  Were you able to get any sleep?”  Rico wondered, “You seemed to sleep rather restlessly.”
