Frankly, he did not plan for the woman, May, to reveal her name. As surprising as it was, Gavin figured to feel that way was unnecessary. May obviously was different from most; unexpected events were most likely to take place.
Gavin still kept space between the two of them. He was not even sure why he was still following May. He just wanted too. That did not matter though, what did was why she was letting him.
“Well that is a start.” He told her. “However, my next question is why you are allowing me to follow you around.” Gavin was acting like a little puppy dog, obediently tagging along with his master. It seemed to him that his constant pursuing is more annoying than questions.

The wind blew slightly, causing her blond hair to lift up playfully before falling back down upon her shoulders to rest. It was completely dark now, the last rays of the sun disappearing as the street lamps became the only source of light. There was no moon tonight. Completely enclosed in darkness. Just the way May enjoyed it, just the way she loved it. Darkness. It has some sort of strange pull on her...attracted her. Of course she supposed it was the same way with every other vampire that walked the earth. How could they not be attracted to the dark? But still...she felt it's pull quite strongly.
Especially on nights like this. When there was no light besides the artificial street lamps. You could blend in with this...they wouldn't be able to see you coming. It was the perfect place to hide. Right out in the open, shielded by the dark. She loved it. She loved everything about this time of night. Right after the world was encompassed in darkness. The few moments after the sun had set. She felt her best.
She wasn't sure where she was going. She wasn't going to walk home and have him find out where she lived. She enjoyed the mystery that surrounded her. She enjoyed having people not know anything about her, including where she lived. So she walked, with no clue where she was leading the two of them. But then again, she supposed it didn't matter much. She had learned that the destination is not always the most important part...as cliche as that sounds.
“However, my next question is why you are allowing me to follow you around.”
She stopped walking, stopped so suddenly that she ended up a few feet behind this stranger to Newport. She gave a glare at his back. Was she letting him follow her? She didn't exactly think of it that way. She was just walking with him...and that caused her glare. She doesn't do that. She doesn't just walk with people.
"I am not allowing you to follow me. I'm..." Truth was, she didn't know what she was doing. Because, he was following her. And truth was, she was letting him. But that didn't matter. She doesn't like to be told what she is doing, even though he was simply just asking a question. "I'm walking. And you are just here." Oh god, that didn't make any more sense. She was digging herself a hole almost. Making herself sound defensive. She had no reason to be defensive...it was just her onset setting.
She let out a sigh, and turned her attention away from him, instead glancing at one of the street lamps. The light flickered slightly before staying on. Bright and fake. Like her life. She blinked, and turned those bright orbs back on her companion. It was then she was struck once more...a memory. Only this one was more.
Walking. On a darkened street, there was no moon...only her and him. His face was a blur, but resembled Monroe's. He said something, she laughed.
And as soon as it came it faded away. Her eyes were closed tight, as she brought a hand up to her head. That was more then she had ever gotten at one time. Just a memory...of a life she had forgotten. Her jaw was clenched shut...her head pounded on with a sudden migraine. Great, last thing she wanted was to feel or look weak in front of someone else.
So despite the pain she put her hand back at her side, gave a shake of her head, and acted like everything was normal. "Sorry. I was..." What was she? And did she really just say sorry? Something had overcome her with the arrival of this guy. And she had no clue what to expect of it.
And she came up with the best excuse she could think of to explain her sudden behavior.
"I haven't fed in a few weeks."

Gavin quickly avoided running into May by moving to the side. Before he knew it, he stood in front of her. He turned around slowly as she spoke. What on earth was she talking about? She was more confusing than he thought.
A smirk crossed his face when she said she had not fed for such a long time. He looked around for any one who could be larking in the dark. No one. “Well, how about we fix that?” Gavin suggested. He knew the pain of low blood. “I’m sure that vegetarian is still at the book store. He has good cholesterol.” He added jokingly.

She lifted one of her hands up, brushing a stray strand of hair out of her eyes, and looked up at him. His messy hair was kind of cute...and is dark eyes rather attractive. But those thoughts didn't last long - they never did. She quickly pushed them off to the side, instead trying her best to ignore the pounding headache that had suddenly come over her. It was simple. She was used to being in pain after looking into someone's mind. And she prided herself in not looking weak. So she became an expert at pretending she didn't feel pain. It was easy, added to the tough girl image she had going for her.
She gave a small shake of her head and stood there, staring up at him. Why was she still here? Why were the two of them talking, like they were almost friends? It was weird...no, it was more then weird. May didn't just have conversations with random people she had just met. She just didn't do it. Yet here she was...doing exactly what she claimed she didn't do. It was slightly disturbing. She wasn't sure what to think about this whole mess.
She had lied about the whole low blood issue. She had fed yesterday. And as an older vampire, and a strong one at that, she could actually go a few weeks without eating. Which was a long time. She didn't normally though, unless she had to. But seeing as it had only been one day, she wasn't feeling the tug of hunger that strongly. Sure if something was thrown before her she would eat, but it wasn't as if she was about to go out looking for food. It hadn't gotten to that point quite yet. So when he said they could fix that, she just kinda brushed the idea off. It wasn't like they were going to go hunting together. That would be to weird. They had just met. You don't normally hunt with people you just met.
However then he added something else. “I’m sure that vegetarian is still at the book store. He has good cholesterol.” And at that she actually smiled, she actually gave a small laugh. Wow. It had been a while that she didn't realize it was her at first. She...she laughed. Oh, what the hell was coming over her?
"Oh yeah, I'm sure he would be perfect. I'm sorry I like my meal to have other little real meals inside of it." She smiled slightly before, glancing over at the streetlight near them, her eyes watching the bright bulb as bugs swarmed about it.

Well, at least she laughed. The mood was lighting up, in a sense. Gavin preferred it that way though; he found it rather hard to converse with her riley side. Yet, her tough-girl side was bound to come back. That was good too; it showed that she was an independent woman.
Gavin laughed softly. “True,” he agreed. “I have to say I prefer the same.” As ‘healthy’ as clean-blood and virgin humans were, the extra sins felt more satisfying – kind of like skim and whole milk.
“I’m sorry,” he said unexpectedly. “You must have other things to do tonight. Am I interrupting?” Of course talking to her was nice, Gavin was actually rather happy to bump into her at Comfy Books, but he did not want to get in the way of anything.

A wind blew her hair slightly, lifting the blond curls up a bit before dropping them back down. A quick flick of her wrist and she brushed the hair out of her bright eyes. There, that was better. She glanced around the sidewalk they were standing on, a few streetlights illuminating their faces. It was getting darker and darker, and she loved it to death. What vampire didn't love the dark? Hell, what human didn't love the dark, in at least someway? So mysterious and alluding. It was attractive. It pulled people into it. People loved what they couldn't understand, they loved everything associated with the dark. And the real truth? It terrified them. And they loved the thrill that came with that fear. It was what made it so easy to lure a victim into the night, find a meal, take someone right out of their life and put them into a new one. Piece of cake.
All because of the darkness.
Her eyes glanced back over to this vampire standing near her, Gavin Monroe. She debated dipping into his mind again. She wanted to know why he was so familiar, why he awakened those memories in her. And maybe if she went into his mind it would help invoke more memories with in her...just maybe...but she didn't. Maybe another time. But at the moment she stopped herself from digging into his mind, stopped herself from shedding his mind apart at her feet just to find out a few things. Because she was also scared. His mind was like the dark...it held power, it held the possible connection to her forgotten past. And although the dark was attractive, she was smart, she had learned not to venture too close. Because she knew what happened when you did.
“You must have other things to do tonight. Am I interrupting?” And she thought about that for a moment. Did she have other things to do? She always had something to do, some person to scare, some human to change, some meal to eat. But did she actually have any plans for the night? Jason...well, she didn't feel like dealing with him at the moment. Then there was Kyle...but he was still new to the Elite. She wasn't sure she wanted to deal with that tonight. And Vi...well, Vi was off some place. She didn't know where,s he never knew where Violet went. And she didn't much care.
So she shook her head slightly, giving a small shrug of her shoulders. "Do I seem like the type to let someone interrupt me?" Of course not. She never let people jump in and pause her from a task. But the truth was she really didn't have any plans tonight so he really wasn't bothering her. It was actually sort of...nice, to talk to him. Nice? When did she ever use that word? May was actually starting to scare herself with all these news.
"My plans for the night don't start until later. At the moment I have nothing better to do." She gave a shrug, that sounded kind of an insult but it really wasn't. That was just how she came off.

What should happen next?
“Oh,” Gavin mumbled. There was not much to say about that. The words of May sounded callous, but shrug-off-able - if that was such a thing. He was a calm person; her words have yet to sting. However, knowing his mind, small talk was his specialty. “And no, you don’t seem like that sort of person.”
Today was his first time meeting May with that he learned very little this evening. However, what he did discover was she secluded herself from many people. She had it written all over her face, even if she was a talented actress with her emotions. There was something else though, a secret, and he wanted to know. What May refused to tell, interested him. The way she acted from what he did.
“I suppose if I were interrupting you would have ignored me and carried on with your evening.” He displayed the obvious answer. “Who was I to question with an answer so unsubtle?” Gavin sighed, he surely was not thinking correctly, or was May just influencing him to act stupid? Being as unsure as he was, he figured it was a mix of both.
