Vampire stories are generally pretty cliche anyway. And, as most writers know, the majority of stories have already been told many times. I guess the trick, usually, is to make sure that you're telling the story well by generating believable and intersting characters that the reader can empathise with - as you already have the premise, the rest of the plot will probably solidify around your well-crafted characters.
Sounds to me that the strongest part of this story would be the central character's struggle with his instincts as opposed to a normal human lifestyle. maybe Nick hasn't truly decided who he is yet? Plenty of room there for building on an inner conflict which the reader has no idea which way he will eventually go. Certainly has promise - the old sire appealing to his instincts vs his girlfriend appealing to his humanity.
