Why am I laughing? There was this hatred in her eyes when she looked at me that night. It was only there for a total of at least ten seconds, but I must say...it was the first time that I thought she was attractive. I have a thing for angry women, I guess. They're good in bed.

Eden resisted the urge to smirk at the anger in Claudia's eyes. It was a flash, but he saw it, and surprisingly...he liked it. It made her seem a bit more fiery. The frostiness in his eyes slowly melted into faint amusement. He obviously struck a nerve and his theory was confirmed when he witnessed her tone become tinged with sarcasm.

I learned something new about her: she's cute when she's mad.

Her voice was softer now, and that fire was dwindling, much to Eden's disappointment. Such a waste of passion... he thought somberly as he gazed at her with new found interest. So, she was inviting him to a get-together even after she was mentally stabbing him. He was tempted to refuse, simply to see that glint of rage again, but he decided that being in a cave with her would be a better chance to get her out for blood. Call him sick, twisted even, but that spark of fury was one of the most attractive things he's ever witnessed.

"I'll be there," Eden couldn't help but feel a cool mischievous smirk settle onto his usual frowning face. Perhaps, he could have fun with little Claudia "Anything to cheer Jesse up a bit." His tone indicated that he had an ulterior motive.

In a boring town like this, sometimes you have to construct your own entertainment. Claudia was my chance to get a laugh or two, and I really wanted to see her get mad again. She had no idea that I was starting to take an interest in her. Yeah, I thought she was pretty or whatever, but that night was the night saw something within her. It was a bit primal, but completely alluring and I wanted to see it again.
