Song for the chapter: Playboy by Fireboy.

Gina's POV

It's been two days so far at home and lord knows I've enjoyed my time away from the stress at school and the most recent one I've been facing, A vampire named Nicollo Manchini. In the past two days I've managed not to think of him. And I've almost succeeded, although from time to time thoughts of him would creep into my mind like a virus.

"Gina! " mom called.

Mom's deep voice could be heard from miles and only God knows what she wanted now.

"Ma!" I yelled back.

"Your father wants you in the living room" she yelled back.

I walked into the living room, to see dad watching a sports channel. It was a game between Portugal and Uruguay and some guy named Bruno Fernandes had scored the second goal.

"Good game huh?" I plonked my ass down the space next to dad.

"Yes of course, I told your brother Portugal would win and he doubted me" he rubbed at his mustache as he settled more into the settee.

"So dad mom said you wanted to see me" I stated.

Dad moved uncomfortably then cleared his throat.

"I'm having a formal tonight, it's sort of a get together and it was impromptu so I'd like you to help your mom in the preparations"

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Well your mom and Comfort can't handle this alone and Sydney's no help" he rolled his eyes. Everyone knew Sydney was a genius in everything but in the kitchen, she was scared of being in one ever since he had been in a house fire back when she was eight and the gas stove had exploded( she told me)

"No I meant why the formal?"

" I got promoted as the logistics manager of my branch, And I'm throwing the formal to celebrate"

It was almost eight o'clock when the guests started arriving. Both mom and Sister Comfort were the welcoming party while I was huddled down in my bedroom. If you haven't guessed by now, I'm an introvert and I did think becoming a vampire would change this but apparently what it did was give me free plastic surgery and immortality, it didn't change who I was.

The sound of loud music almost gave me a migraine and I held on my head tightly afraid it would burst. My fangs pierced out of the gums and my eyes felt heavy. My intestines felt like they were on fire. I tore open a blood bag, pouring it's contents inside a cup and it's contents in a flash. I felt the migraine subside.

"What the hell was wrong with me" I mused inwardly. I hadn't had something like this happen to me since the night of the beach party.

That asshole had turned me and had left to die. He probably wanted me out of the way. And now he's spewing s**t about me being his eternal soulmate or some gibberish the stupid vampire folks believe in

What the hell was I even saying I was a freaking Vampire, turned by that bloody vampire king.

God I hate him, I freaking hate him so much.

Feeling myself get better a bit, I summoned courage deciding I had seen enough of my bedroom. I walked out, closing the door carefully and made my way towards the backyard so that I'd have some peace and quiet.

"So where's that lovely daughter of yours?"

I heard a familiar voice that had been haunting my nightmares ask my father who I had believed was in the sitting room.

I gasped as the icy blue eyes of the antagonist of my story meet mine and turned to move but my father's voice stopped me before I could make my escape.

" Ah there she is, Nick meet my last daughter Georgina" father said joyously and I froze.

Nico's Pov

I could feel her animosity as our eyes met, whiskey brown to my icy blue ones and I smirked knowing she wanted to flee, and I was ready for the chase. Her father's voice stopped her escape.

"Ah there she is, Nick meet my last daughter Georgina" George announced.

"Hello Gina" I called out with a làzy smile watching as she narrowed her eyes, her nose flared and as she clenched her fists in anger. She was going to explode and like the sadistic bastard I am, I wanted to see her do that.

"Nicollo" she bit out with venom.

"Do you two know each other?" George gaze flew from me to Gina, eyeing us both suspiciously.

"Yes"

"No"

We both said together, making George frown.

"No dad we don't" Gina lied gritting her teeth.

"Oh come on Gina, you're a grown woman, you don't have to hide our relationship" I threw the bait, smirking like the devil I am.

" Georgina, ife'a ọkpai obu ezi okwu? Onye ifú taa bụ oga m office, ka ịle iji-ga eme ya enyi nwoke, Jesus Gina ị chọ igbu m" her father gasped, feeling betrayed by Gina.

"No dad, I'm not his girlfriend, there's nothing between myself and that bloodsucker" Gina spat angrily her pupils dilated. I could tell the she would explode next so I did one thing I knew she'd never forgive me for especially when I did it in the presence of her father.

I grabbed her into my arms, then spoke in low tones to her father.

"Io e Gina siamo felici insieme, tu sei consapevole del nostro rapporto e tu sei felice per noi e non vedi l'ora di essere mio suocero"

I watched as the words seeped into his subconsciousness and watched him nod.

"Well Nick as much as you're my boss if you hurt her, I'll kill you painfully" He said seriously surprising me, how in the world did my hypnosis not work on him?

"Dad?" Gina groaned.

"Don't Dad me, I'm your father remember" he smiled "Now why don't you love birds continue with whatever you were doing, I'll be in the living room with the rest of the guests if you need me"

"Thanks George" I said.

He nodded then shook my hands.

"Call me Dad, Nick we're family now and also don't forget to use protection man, I've got enough hellions right now and my Gina's too young to be a mom" he said slapping my shoulder.

"Thanks dad" I smirked at Gina knowing any moment from now she'd go Tsunami mode. Out of the corner of my eyes I watched George walk back into the house and I turned towards my little hellion.

"What the hell did you do to my dad you buffoon" she yelled in my face.

"Just what you did to that little s**t, hypnosis babygirl" I shrugged.

"Damn you Nicollo you cocksucking son of a bi...."

Not letting her complete the expletives, I shut her up with a kiss.
