THE DEMON AND I

CHAPTER 28: Hidden danger

"You were so drunk last night, how many times do I have to tell you not to take alcohol again. You could have get yourself into trouble if it isn't for this young man" Marisa said and Diana's eyes widened.

Dracula came out from the kitchen with a with an apron on. He shook his head as if scolding her for sleeping so long.

Diana mouth opened and closed severally without a word coming out from her lips. Dracula met her mom?, she began to wonder what he had said to her mom.

"Come help him out, I have to go out" Marisa said and gave Dracula a smile before leaving the house.

Diana tilted her head one side. Her mom seems to trust him.

"Come here wife" Dracula ordered and she glared at him.

"You can't call me wife here!" She said.

"I already did" He replied with a serious look on his face. She ran down to him and stared up at him. She look so cute with her messy hair

"You what? You told my mom I'm your wife?" She asked.

"Yeah.. is there anything wrong with that? Why can't I call you wife" He raised his brow.

"Because that's absurd, we are not even married" Diana said in frustration trying to talk some sense into his head. Her mom is going to tease her forever.

"Oh! Should we get married tonight then?"

"What?"

"Don't worry Mate. I'll have everything prepared with seconds" he smirked.

"Are you crazy?"

"Crazy? That's no way to talk to your husband" he said and her mouth dropped. Is he serious right now?

"Fine Mate.. I was just teasing you. I told your mom we are just friends then bribed her with my delicacy" he winked at her.

"Come have your hangover soup before it gets cold" He said dragging her into the kitchen before she could protest. He carried her and made her sit on the kitchen counter before handing a bowl of soup to her.

"My mom trusted you, What did you say to her?" She asked collecting the bowl of soup.

"Drink up" he ordered and she obeyed.

Diana watched how Dracula cut the vegetables, onions, garbage and many others in a perfect way. It was just too pleasing to watch. The almighty Demon King is in her kitchen cooking.

"Why are you smiling?" He suddenly asked without looking up to her.

"I didn't" she lied and look the other side.

Dracula scoffed and poured the cooking ingredients into the pot on the stove.

"I didn't do anything stupid when I was drunk last night right?" She asked.

Dracula explained everything she did from the top to the bottom.

"What!! I.. I did that?" Her eyes widened like that of a watermelon. "Why the hell didn't you stop me?"

Dracula moved close to her and placed his both hand beside her then stared into her eyes.

"I was enjoying the show. You were such a craaaaazzzzy little woman back there, I love the way you defended your husband" he said

"How did my mom find us?" She asked and noticed some changes in his expression but it disappeared immediately.

"You don't remember anything?" He asked.

"Like what?"

"Like what you said before your mom found us"

"No, I hope I didn't say something harsh?"
