Watching her sleep, was the most beautiful sight ever. The sun rose too quickly, I didn't want to put an end to this moment. I wanted to remain like this for as long as possible, watch her sleep, how fascinating. It took me a lot not to reach out and brush her warm skin, and her golden hair and touch her perfect lips. My beautiful, little angel.
I got off the bed and closed the cotton, blocking the sunlight which reflected into the room then walked out of the bedroom. " Her friends will be up soon," I thought. Finding it difficult to decide whether to let her wake or return her to the camp. It won't be wrong to have her around for a few more minutes, but what would she eat, I need to go get human food.
" Hey " turning around once I sensed her presence. She was walked with her eyes closed, scratching her head
" Vivian I think... I had another..... " realizing what was about to happen
" Watch out......." Her face came in contact with the wooden Piller before I could react " oooo"
" Aaa......" She pause " aaaaaaa" and started again. In pain, she cried robbing the spot " oh Jesus" she lifts her head to look at the Piller, " when did this happen? " She yells, staring at the Piller in total confusion. Her eyes explored her environment until they fell on me " Oh " everything came back to her, realizing where she was
" Forgot where you were ha.." I couldn't hold back my smile at her cuteness " is your head ok? "
" Yeah. " Nods slightly. She walks forward and stood in front of me
" Slept well? " I drew closer reaching for her forehead, I place my palm to check if she was in serious pain. Instantly I felt that connection between us and notice her tense but relaxed immediately.
" Yeah....I did " she lifts her eyeballs, to get a better view of my face "Ummm.....what are you doing ?"
" Never mind me " removed my hand, certain she was ok, I stared down. How much I wanted to pull her in my arms around her and kiss her, but what will that make me?
" So........" Nodding in deep thought
" What?"
" What's here to eat? " smiled
" Oh, I was just about to get you something but now that you are........" I suddenly sensed something, making me pause to listen
" I am what ?" I held back my frown when I realized where the noise was coming from. " What?"
" Your friends are up and they are looking for you " trying to sound less annoyed
" Oh. " She frowns making me raise an eyebrow
" What is it ?"
" Is it strange if I say I don't want to leave? What is wrong with me ?" She asked. I stared at her speechlessly. How does one respond to such a question? I mean how do I tell her that? Oh, you are my mate who died years ago and got reincarnated. It is how the mate thing works, you and I are bonded, and will always desire one another, and always want to be close so there is nothing wrong with you. It is normal. How am I even going to sound? And besides, I haven't decided yet If I want to claim her yet. I once said I want her to have a normal life, she died because of me in the past and I can't let that happen again. but the turn this is about to take says otherwise.
" I don't know, maybe you should see a doctor " shrugged while walking away to grab my coat
" I expected you to know better," she said after me
" Beats me. " Before vanishing into the room. I came out only to find her sitting on the couch. Looking relaxed.
" what are you doing?" She looks in my direction
" what does it look like am doing? Or should I ask, what should I be doing ?" An eyebrow raised
" get up "
" where are we going " she stood up
" I am taking you back to your camping sight "
" why!!!" Unhappy about it
" What do you mean, Why?...... You came with your friends and they are getting worried about you " I explained
" oh " bits her lower lips " ok.... But promise if I call you, you would come "
" And what makes you believe that I keep promises? " I crossed my arms, starting at the little angel. She goes around the table, walking up to me.
" I know that you creatures, once you make a promise you can't break it because you will be in debt" she spoke with full confidence and it took me a lot to hold back my laughter.
Shacking my head, smiling " Look, look. That is a dog's thing ok. I don't shit about debt and I don't do promises"
"Why? " stands in front of me with arms crossed as well. I leaned down, so close or will I say too close. Staring deep into her eyes, her pure hazel eyes.
" making promises turns you into a slave. I am no slave, I act according to my own will " I said " when you call me, I will show up if I want to " for a moment I thought I saw the disappointment in her eyes which vanished instantly. She smiled, surprising me by leaning even closer, our lips inches apart
" I don't care what you think...... You will promise to come when I call for and you will " not taking her eyes away from mine
The past
" I don't care what you believe about promises. I want you to promise me that you won't run away again " she leans close, so close to Vicnan. If only she knew the effect she had on him.
" Lady Larisa. " do you realize who you are speaking to?" He frowns
" yes. The man I love " her words soften him " and I want him to stop running from our fate and stay by my side. I do not ask to much " not taking her eyes off him, nor did he. The woman who stood in front of him, the woman he loves. The woman he tries to protect by staying away
" do you realize what you are about to get yourself into? Do you have any idea what comes with Loving a demon? Do you know how much danger your life will be in?"
" I will take the risk. Because I will trust you to protect me "
" Lady Larisa this.........." She cut him off
" stop talking nonsense and just promise me "
Back to presence
" so " she lifts her pinkie " promise " smiling
"What is that?"
"Just stick out your pinkie will you " with a death stare. I did as she told me without further argument and she locked her pinkie with mine " Good " letting go. And I couldn't stop myself from smiling.
Cleopatra
The last thing I remember from that day, is the white light which consumed us and I appeared close to the camping sight. Vivian scold me for disappearing so early in the morning and the next two days went by quickly. And it also went well. I didn't think too much about Vivian. To be honest I did but in a much better manner. It didn't bother me like before.
************************
It's been two days since we returned. Vivian already left early for a family get-together, while I remained in the house bored.
Rolling from side to side in my bed while I scroll through my social media. For anything interesting. My social media life was far worst than my love life and financial state.
" hhh" sighed " I hate this " toss my phone to the side and sat up. " what to do, what to do" looking around. There was only one thing that came to mind, or will I say one person. Him. I wanted to see him. "Arrrr" throwing my hands in frustration. I do not have a reason to call him yet so I can't just call him. Lying back with my eyes closed, trying to enjoy the silence. I remained like that for a while until I finally gave up. " fuck it" got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. I took a long hot shower. Scanning through my closet for something nice to wear, Damn I need to touch my wardrobe, I wonder how much I got left in my account.
I wore a high waist brown trousers, a black turtleneck and an oversize shit, along with a pair of black sneakers. Staring at my reflection in the full-length mirror, I nod in approval. The advantage of being tall is that almost everything looks good on you.
" how do I even call him? " I whispered to myself. Standing in the middle of my sitting room, I debated on how to call him. " yell his name?" I should have asked him on that day.......
" what is it?".........my soul almost left my body when I heard a voice behind me
"yaa" Flinch in shock while I turn around to see him standing there with his arms crossed, looking as beautiful as ever. Why on earth will a man have such beauty? " hey don't do that!!" I scold with a frown
" why have you called "
Confused, knowing I haven't called him yet " I haven't yet, in fact, I was just trying to figure out how to call you." I explained
" you did, you wanted me here. You don't have to say my name out loud to call me "
"Really?" I did want him here " you kept your promise " the thought of it made me feel jolly in my stomach.
" I told you it's a dog's thing. " this will be the second time he says that. What does he mean by dog? " I act according to my own will "
" so you wanted to see me as well?" I mocked
" maybe "
