Ben was starting to get happy when he saw that she actually believed that he was eric and waited for her to accept that he was a werewolf. Yet instead she pushed him away and instantly he frowned. Going after her he shook his head, "I am not lieing to you Miriam, I could never lie to you. It is why I am telling you the truth." he said called after her, trying to look normal still. But as she ran, he knew he had to go faster, so he pushed himself into the werewolf speed that he had and soon stood infront of Miriam, "I know your not a idiot, and I know it is hard to believe. But its the truth and..." he wasn't sure what else to say. Yet he knew he probably wouldn't get her to believe him. He knew that being here with her was too good to be true, no one wanted to be around him. Stepping to the side so that she could pass, his shoulders sagged, "I will get my stuff and I promise not to other you again if that is what you wish." he said softly

Ben had been ready to watch her go and get his bags. He couldn't stay here if she didn't want him here, it would be painful. Though when she stopped infront of him, he looked at her tear filled eyes. Hearing her words made his heart stop slightly, did that mean she believed him. NOt sure what to do, he gently reached out and brushed her tears away, "it is okay, I should be the one sorry since I just blurt it out and thought you would accept what I said." he said to her softly and then looked into her eyes, "I really did tell you the truth, I could never lie to you about this. It is why I can't stay around you at night and I was jumpy about staying with you. I dont want to hurt you." he said as he looked at her, keeping his hand on her cheek.

Eric nodded when he heard her, "I know what you mean, it was a lot for me to take in when I first changed." he said to her softly and smiled as he watched her move closer to him. Wrapping his arms around her, he held her close to him. "I will never lie to you or leave you, I will always stay with you." he said to her softly and chuckled softly when he heard her, "you can call me anything you like since I am all yours." he whispered to her softly and then kissed her nose gently.

Eric smiled as he felt her arms around his neck and then her lips on his. He kissed her back and pulled her as close to him as possible. He still couldn't believe that he actually found a place in life with someone like her. Looking deeply into her eyes, he smiled, "now then, how about if we go on that lunch date, that is if your still up for it." he said as he kept her close, "and your welcome to ask me any questions you like."

Ben smiled as he felt her rub his chest and a purr like growl came from him. "well then lets go eat since it sounds like your in need for food." he said when he heard her stomach growl. Taking her hand, he smiled at her, "come on, lets head to a resturant in town." he said as he smiled at her and threaded his fingers threw hers.

Eric smiled as he saw the blush on her cheeks but at her questions, he thought for a moment. "I dont know honestly." he said to her as he looked down at her, "you see I am not sure what to tell everyone about what happened and why I left. I would love it if I could but not sure what to do if they ask for a explanation. " he said as he looked at her and then smiled as he started to lead the way out of their, "come on, lets head to lunch about this." he said as he smiled at her, not wanting her to be starving now.

Eric smiled down at her, "For now, I am going to stay hidden but maybe later, when I figure something out, I will tell them." he said as he continued to lead the way and soon they were walking down the sidewalk. "and you can call me anything you like, ben, eric, or any other name you feel like. He then chuckled softly, "as I would expect and I am glad to give them to you." he said as he smiled at her and then kissed her cheek gently.

Eric smiled at her, "I think that could work." he said as he kept her hand in his. He then noticed people watching them and smiled a little bit, "you know I think word about me is going to get out fast." he said to her softly as he continued to walk. He remembered that everyone in town was close and gossip when around fast. After walking for a bit he caught sight of a resturant, "how is that place?" he asked as he smiled down at her.

eric smiled down at her, "yeah, I remember that is one thing about this place. It was nice sometimes yet horrible others." he said as he conitnued to walk with her. "how about if we head to the resturant that you like the most." he said as he smiled at her and knew that he would like to know where she liked to go.

((Last one then dreaded homework.))

She nodded and walked down the street until she got to the local pizza place. "I was craving pizza that night you saved me." Miriam said as she looked at him but frowned a little at the memory of the incident. "Sorry. Want to go in?" Her grip on his hand a bit tighter as she thought of that night.

((aahhh, okay, have fun))

Eric smiled as he walked down the street and started smelling the pizza before he even saw the shop. When he heard her, he nodded, "sure, I actually dont remember the last time I had pizza." he said as he smiled at her and squeezed back. He then moved forward and opened the door for her, "ladies first." he said as he smiled at her.

Ben smiled as she walked in and followed her to the booth in the back. He was very greatful that she had picked the one in the back, he was getting tiredof everyone staring at them. Settling into the booth, he had to think for a second, " in all truth I don't even remember what can be placed ontop of pizza. So why don't you just order, I am sure I will like what ever you get." He said as he smiled at her and squeezed her hand.

Eric smiled as she slid in besides him and nodded, "sounds good to me." he said and was happy once they got the menu. Though when he heard her he chuckled and nodded, "yes, but I think I would also like some pepers on it, what do you think?" he asked as he looked at her. He never let go of her hand and gently squeezed her hand, glad to have her here and know what he was but willing to be with him still.

Eric smiled at her and licked his lips when he heard her, "actually I like the sounds of your pizza better." he said as he smiled at her. He then looked at the menu again, "and how about if we get two orders of wings." he said as he looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "after this, where would you like to go?" he asked as he smiled at her and found himself moving closer to her. Now that he didn't have to fear pushing her away he wanted to be as close to her as possible.
