## Relationships

### Romance

#### Jackson Hartley

Amanda and Jackson met at a club during her senior year of college. Jackson was at the club scoping for females to prey upon, for he mostly fed on attractive young women. Setting his eye on Amanda they spent the whole night flirting and dancing. He gradually gave her more and more drinks until she was too drunk to think. Leading her out of the club and to his apartment, he acted as a gentlemen he open the door for her and poured her another drink. After kissing her and helping her out of her clothes, he kissed his way from her legs to her neck. He stopped when he noticed she was shaking. Looking at her face she realized she was crying. Amanda pulled her legs to her chest and cried in his pillow. Suddenly feeling awkward he just sat and watched her. Jackson wasn't good at the affection thing. After hearing her mutter something about her uncaring father he felt a connection. Uncomfortably sitting next to her and patting her shoulder he talked about his abusive father.

They stayed up talking about their childhoods, Amanda eventually shifting to lie across his chest. Jackson watched Amanda sleep, brushing through her hair with his fingers. Before she woke up Jackson slipped out to buy groceries. She woke up to the smell of omelets and bacon. Due to waking up late Amanda had already missed several classes and decided to skip the whole day to spend it with Jackson. Before walking her home that night he asked to take her on another date.

After a month of dating, Amanda goes out clubbing with some girlfriends. She spots her boyfriend flirting with another girl  across the dance floor. Following them into the alley behind the club she yells out "CHEATER!" for it looks like he is kissing the other woman's neck. Shocked by the sound of her voice he looks up. Seeing his veiny vampire face, bloody mouth, and sharp fangs Amanda is frightened and begins to run, screaming for help. Speeding in front of her, she bumps into him and falls on the ground. "Amanda let me explain." The veins in his face settled back to normal as he fears of losing her. Jackson commands Amanda to stop crawling away and crying. Looking her deep in the eyes he helps her up and compels her to forget everything she's seen, go back into the club and have fun with her friends.

His ability seemed to work when she happily entered his apartment that night as if nothing had happened.
