*Ed held her, but leaned back so he could look into her eyes.*
"I believe you," *he said.* "I was attacked by a vampire last night, remember? I only wish I could be there to protect you. Always."
*He traced her golden hair softly, reveling in her beauty. She knew things about him, too, that he'd never told anyone before.*
"I'm afraid I'm not enough."

"Oh don't say that, Ed."
*She turned to him and kissed him gently, feeling safe in his arms*
"Anyway, Erik will murderize him when he hears about this, so we won't need to worry for very long."

*Edward returned her kiss gratefully and beamed at her.*
"Gosh, you're some girl, Christine," *he said.* "Like... like Mina, or Fay Wray, only you don't scream. You're the one everyone wants. And here you are."
*He held her close, willing the real versions of the monsters he so longed to create in his films away.*

*Christine had no idea who Mina or Fay Wray were, but she realized this was high praise coming from Ed. She wrapped her arms around him, treasuring his touch*
"Oh Edward..."

*Edward laughed happily and rested his cheek on her hair.*
"Can I stay?" *he pleaded.* "Not... I mean, just to look out. I'd hate myself if I let something happen to you."

*Christine smiled and squeezed his hand*
"Of course you can. I'd miss you."

*Edward beamed down at her before catching her up in his arms and twirling her around.*
"Great! I'll keep watch, and you'll sleep. It'll be perfect."

"Alright, if you're sure it's not too much trouble- I mean, you need sleep as much as I do."

*Edward played with her hair.*
"No, no trouble. Not for you. Come on."
*He led her to the bed and turned down the covers.*
"Maybe I could rig some sort of alarm. To wake me, should someone enter."

"Twice in one night...I wouldn't think he'd try that..."
*She sighed*
"It's not good to live in fear. But if you think we need to, you can be the judge."

((No, I meant instead of an alarm. Arg, I'll edit.))

*Ed shrugged, and smiled sheepishly.*
"I'll probably fall asleep," *he said.* "But I'll feel better staying here, where at least I can wake up if you need me."
*He raised the coverlet as if to tuck her in.*

*She took his hand and kissed it*
"I wish I could repay you for all this."

*Edward lowered the comforter around her and kissed her forehead.*
"You already have," *he said.* "Christine, you're my inspiration! I'll write all my best movies for you. And you'll star! You'll see. It'll be perfect."
*There were other perfections yet to be experienced, but Edward, though sexual in nature, was not hasty. There was time. Time for it to be right.*
