Heartbeat -Ting Ting and Al

Tiana awoke early the siguiente morning, wondering what had happened the night before, and then it all came flooding back to her. Paris; dancing, champagne...ok, that explained the headache.

She sat up and then saw that she was back in her own room. She also realised, to her surprise, that she was alone in bed, and yet, Lestat had been here, she could sense his presence. Blinking, and rubbing her head, she rolled out of cama and onto the floor as her senses began to drift back to her. Ok, she was in her petticoat; where was her dress? Lifting her head she saw that it was draped neatly over the back...

“So, go on then,” Lestat said.

Tiana glanced at him. “Right now?”

“No time like the present.”

The pair of them were sitting at Tiana’s cocina table. She had made coffee, out of habit, but neither of them had drunk it, and now the two cups were rapidly cooling on the breakfast bar. Tiana’s head was still reeling. She still couldn’t quite believe it. She was going to be a vampire! Lestat was going to turn her! And all she had to do was make a bucket list. Only now, she wasn’t entirely sure what she’d put on it.

“Here.” Lestat...

Pushing the argument she had had with her friends to the back of her mind, Tiana went inicial and quite cheerfully opened her copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

“This sounds good,” she murmured, finding a page marked “Cassoulet,” and since she had the majority of ingredients on her anyway, she set to work chopping and cooking and washing and then finally pouring two glasses of red wine. Just as the meal was finished, there was a knock on...

Tiana stared at him. “W-what? You...you amor me?”

Lestat shrugged, almost modestly. “Funny, isn’t it? tu don’t expect vampiros to fall in love.”

“But tu hardly know me!” Tiana exclaimed. “How can tu possibly know it’s really love?”

“I don’t.” He shrugged, again. “All I know is that I want to protect you; from all the vampiros and the other dangers of the world.” His eyes met hers. “You’re so vulnerable, Tiana. I know you’re feisty and tu can look after yourself, but you’re an easy target for predators.”

“You make me sound like a gazelle,” Tiana...
