Angelina shook her head at Dan's idiotic moment with the Post It notes and got out of the car once it came to a complete stop. “Com'mon….” she said rather irritated.
 
“Yeah, yeah….” Dan muttered to himself and he grabbed his guitar and gear before following Angelina to the door. “Well?” he asked, waiting for Angelina to ring the doorbell.
 
“What? Angelina asked as she rang the doorbell. She glanced up at Dan and noticed the irritated expression on his face, “Oh, don't tell me we're going to fight over Post It notes?!” she said, having to refrain from yelling at him.
 
Dan rolled his eyes and was about to comment when Chris appeared in the doorway.
 
Chris smiled, “Hey you guys, long time no see! Come on in.” after his buds came in he gave Angelina a quick hug and offered the couple some drinks.
 
“I'll get them!” Dan offered after he dropped off his gear in the garage where the band practices. And before Chris could argue, Dan was off to the kitchen.
 
“What's up with him?” Chris asked with a slight frown.
 
Angelina shrugged, “I dunno… He's been kind of off today… I mean, he was nice this morning and made breakfast… But we got in a silly little fight about Post It notes….” Angelina's face scrunched up at the last part because of how stupid the fight was.
 
Chris raised an eyebrow, “Post It notes huh? Think he has a secret or something?”
 
Angelina frowned, “Like what? I already know he's in a band… He's in your band… and you were the one that introduced us… Silly wanker…” she whispered the last part to herself.
 
Chris laughed, “Hah, I might be a wanker… But I have a feeling about this one… Something's up… Think he might be seeing a groupie?”
 
“How did he hear that wanker part? And why would he say that bit about a groupie?” Angelina thought to herself before narrowing her eyes at Chris. “You're lucky Dan is here as a witness, otherwise you'd be dead!” she said while punching Chris in the arm, she made sure that it was an extra hard punch too. Her knuckles cracked from the impact with his arm.
 
“OW!” said Chris with a nervous laugh while rubbing his arm. Considering that Angelina was human, she could be pretty strong at times. Her punch would have probably left a bruise if Chris was a human, but he too shared Dan's secret. “Man, I was just joking! Sides… you know I always get the groupies!” he said with a smug look on his face.
 
Angelina rolled her eyes and muttered “Whatever,” as Dan entered the room with their drinks. She glanced at the drinks: water for her, and it looked like Dan had gotten red wine for him and Chris. “I thought only girls drank wine… Guys are supposed to drink beer…,” she said trying to make Dan laugh.
 
“Hah, you wish... It's… er… red beer…” Dan said looking up at Chris to see if his lie sounded believable.
 
Chris shook his head and held back a smirk, it was pretty hard to disguise that the liquid they were drinking was blood.
 
“Oh, that's that new stuff I've heard about….” Angelina said, now slightly curious about their drink. She looked over at the glass Dan was holding and scooted closer to try and get a smell of it to see if it smelled any better than other beers. “Let me try some…” she demanded.
 
Chris was trying very hard not to laugh at the two of them. Dan looked like he had no idea what to do and Angelina wanted to try the “beer”. Boy, this was going to be a fun night. “Yeah Dan, why don't you let her try the beer?” he said with amusement in his voice.
 
Dan shot a glare at Chris that said “If I could, I would so kill you right now…” “Erm… I dunno Angel... You might not like it… I know you don't like beer that much…”
 
Angelina wrinkled her nose, “Gah… He's calling you that name again…” she thought to herself. “Well, that's never stopped me before… I can handle a sip… If I want more then I can get myself a glass.” She reached for the cup in Dan's hand and he slowly let it go into her hand. She looked into the cup and swirled the liquid around a bit. It looked funny to Angelina, like she'd seen it before. She sniffed it and took a really small sip, as little as possible. Her eyes widened and she quickly handed the cup to Dan, “I'll be right back,” she muttered and hurried off to the bathroom.
 
Chris couldn't contain himself any more, he burst out laughing, “Hahaha. Nice one man.” After he caught his breath, he saw that Dan wasn't really mad, instead he seemed kind of spaced out. “Hey, Dan, what's up?”
 
Dan glanced up from his cup, “She's my Beloved…. Angelina is my Beloved.” There, he said it. He finally said it.
 
Chris' eyes widened, “Dude! No way! How perfect is that?! Congratulations! So, have you told her?”
 
Dan shook his head, “No, I haven't told her yet... I don't know how… Hell, I'm surprised she hasn't figured it out yet…
 
Chris nodded, “Well, she's always been a night owl as long as I knew her. She went to the Night Academy because she didn't like the sun “distracting” her… She always felt more awake at night is what she told me…” he could have gone further on the subject, but Angelina reentered the room. “That bad huh?” he asked.
 
The expression on Angelina's face was apologetic, “I dunno what happened… It just didn't taste right and I guess didn't agree with my stomach… Sorry,” she said with a sigh. “Man... I really hate throwing up…” she thought to herself as she grabbed her stomach. She walked over and snuggled with Dan.
 
Chris tilted his head slightly, “You know you two make a really cute couple? You should get married,” he said with a slight smirk.
 
“Er…” Dan couldn't figure out what to say to that. He'd thought about proposing to Angelina, but then the whole vampire thing came into affect and he still didn't know how she'd react to it.
 
Angelina smiled and looked up at Dan, “Yeah, when are we going to get married?” she asked with a playful smile.
 
Dan let out all his breath at once and his eyebrows rose, “Uh… I dunno… Depends on when I get a ring?”
 
Angelina smiled, “So… he has been thinking about marriage…” she thought to herself.
 
Damn it Chris… I'm so going to kill you after this!!!” Dan attempted to get across to Chris when they locked eyes.
 
Chris only smiled when he got Dan's message, “Com'mon man, it was a joke. She's going to find out your secret sooner or later anyways.
 
Dan let out a small sigh, “Yeah… and what about you and your girlfriend?” he asked Chris with a raised eyebrow. “Take that!” he thought back to Chris.
 
Chris' smile fell off his face and he almost choked when he was trying to get a sip from his bottle, “Uh… Well… I dunno... Things have been off and on... So… She may be the one…” “God damn it man! I'm going to fucking kill you Dan!” he thought back.
 
Dan tried hard not to laugh at Chris' message. “We're already dead dude. And immortal… good luck with the killing me part.”
 
Not realizing that the guys were having a fight, Angelina smiled and said, “Maybe we could double date sometime,” she offered with a slight smile.
 
“Women…” Both Dan and Chris muttered under their breath at the same time while shaking their heads.
