CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
"Pft. Are you trying to make me laugh?" I threw him my pillow and he caught it before it reaches his face, "I'm fine with the deal, stupid. I'm good with contracts," I forced a laugh and my chest tightened. As I recall everything I've been through ever since I met them, I can't help but think of myself if I hadn't.
"How ironic," he replied, throwing the pillow back at me as I caught it. I sneered at him and shooed him away. I was about to push him out of my room but he stopped me with his arm extended and palm against my face, "Kathy.."
"Could you remove your hand off my face because it felt like you're going to crush it," I don't know if he realized the joke in it that's why he didn't budge but I know this talk isn't something he can just drop.
"How much information have you known about Leon's deal?" I stood irritated, glaring past his large slim fingers crossing my eyesight. How could he do this to a girl, "A girl, huh?" he's completely teasing me! And what does he think of me? A guy?
"Bastard! And information? Enough for me to agree," I answered, grabbing his arm and tried to pull it away from my face but he was just too stiff that I can't even lift a single finger. He was strong but he wasn't hurting me, it's like he focused on not letting me go without casualties. The thing is, can't he just hold me normally?
I heard him suck his teeth. Sliding his hand that's covering my face, to my shoulder, he gave a reassuring look. I raised a brow at him and then he sighed.
"Does that mean that whatever results may come to end you won't be guilty?" he sounded so desperate just to get answer out of me.
"What do you mean?"
He pulled his hand away from my shoulder and looked to his right. I followed his glance and saw Hazel's documents on my study table, those were the papers handed by Leon yesterday.
"Memories are precious for those people who holds it dear. Regardless of how sad and painful it is, they should never be forgotten," Evel didn't gave me time to understand what he meant for he held my hand, startling me, "I believe I told you I'd call a doctor to look after you."
"Ah yeah, so why did it turned out to be your brother?" He was still holding my hand and I feel like electricity running in my veins. How can he be so calm about this?
"He's attending a med school, after realizing that I couldn't just trust either human or vampire doctors, I asked him to look after you."
"Oh," was the only word that came out of my mouth. I was getting a little uncomfortable that my gaze was elsewhere. My sight caught the wall clock and sharply turned to him, "Don't you have a class by this time?"
"I'll skip," he emotionlessly answered. My forehead wrinkled and I took the chance to pull my hand off his hold.
"Stupid! What for?" he shrugged his shoulders and pulled his sleeves up. I sat down at the edge of my bed..again, almost crumpling the sheets I'm on. He's been a little touchy today, what's with this pervert?
"I was just going to check on you and go back to school after but I witnessed Nath's reckless moves that I don't trust his mouth anymore," after giving me a fleeting glance, he turned around and walked, stopping at the doorway, "I'm not sure about this, but if you want to fulfill Leon's agreement.." it was a long pause but I didn't bother asking him to continue, "Nevermind. I'm going to get your medicines, stay there."
"Like I could go anywhere," I mumbled to myself and hit the bed. This guy always leave hanging statements. If something's bothering him, he could tell me.
"Kathy," Evel called moments after and tossed me the foil of tablets. Placing a glass of water on the small table near my bed, "Drink it and then go to sleep. Having an amazon body, you'll be fine by tomorrow."
"Oi! What did you just call me?" I took the medicine, the glass of water still undeterred since he's still staring me, "Stop staring, you creep," he didn't look away. Realizing that he'll not listen to me, I drank the water. He was still staring at me and it really makes me uncomfortable.
"I think there's a chance of Leon liking you," I spewed the water and coughed a lot of times, I raised a brow at him and he just looked far away, "This thing is turning into a reverse harem."
"Watdafuq, dude. Are you retarded or something? He clearly love Hazel so much that I have to do something for him. You are so stupid!"
"You don't have to shout that in my face," he said while looking around the room, "I just realized that your room's spacious."
I looked around as well. I only had a study table and a small bookshelf, my cabinet and that's all. I have hung some frames and posted some posters on the wall and that's all. If I could recall accurately, Evel's room have a slightly large bookshelf, although we have a shelf, which was obviously larger, at the lobby, I don't know why he got some books separated from it. He really loves reading, huh? He also have his own computer, like he's doing office works on his own room. Rich kids be like..
"I thought since you're a girl, you'd be more creative than just have pink wallpapers," I glared at him. Disperse you, vamp.
"Oh well, sorry," I sarcastically replied and went back to bed, "I'm going to sleep."
"Okay," he lazily replied and sat down the chair he had pulled earlier, "I'll just sit here," my brow creased and narrowed my eyes on him.
"And do nothing?"
"Probably," I ignored him and I shifted to the other side, covered myself a blanket so I could not see his face. I tried to sleep but the thought of him staring at my covered body is just disturbing, "I'm not staring."
"I trust my insticts, perv," I mumbled to myself. Although I did try to ignore that he's here. I still can't sleep. Minutes passed, neither him nor I opened our mouths to talk. The room was silent and I could hear myself breathe, which was troublesome. I should be better by tomorrow or it'll be a problem if I won't get to see Hazel on Thursday. Speaking of her, "Evel, you've already seen Hazel, right?"
Okay, is he giving me a silent treatment?
"Well, you see, it's like I've seen her somewhere," I didn't hear any response and I got curious why so I curled up, completely sat on my bed and looked at my side where he was. Would you look at that, the vamp's sleeping like an innocent angel. His head's resting on the chair's back support and his arms are crossed.
"Wow, he can also make such a cute face," I stood up and studied him even more. I just realized he has long lashes. And I hate to admit it but he's really good-looking, no wonder he's so popular. To think that I hated this man who's loved by everyone, or am I just in denial? Urg. I can't possibly..
But, even if he's hard to read, and I can't tell whether he's going to be cold or kind towards me, even if I hated him so much, I can't help myself but depend on him. And everytime he does something unfavorable, my chest tightens and my throat would burn and hurt.
I tucked my hair behind my ears and didn't realized I was still staring at his face. I gulped. His lips were slightly parted and I can't stop my heart from throbbing. I don't know what my body was doing but I unconsciously inched my face near his. I can already smell his cologne.
"Sneaky.." he suddenly whispered.
I held back, stood straight and immediately turned my back, covering my face with both hands.
"I-It's not what you think! I was just.. uhh" if I could see my own face right now, I'll be seeing a stupid burning face, "I-I was smelling your breath! T-that's it!" Wow, very smart of me.
Out of nowhere, I heard a chuckle. Until it turned out to be a laugh. I turned to face him and he was really laughing, FOR REAL.
"That was just hilarious," he commented while whiping some stray tears and still laughing at his heart's content, "Hahaha. I'll stop now," he heaved a sigh, his eyes closed. I glared at him and he looked at me, as soon as he did, he laughed again. I thought it was strange, but this is actually the first time I heard him laugh. For some reasons, it had warmed my heart. I joined him in his laughter and we both looked lunatics who just came out of ward. I was happy, really happy. Not because of seeing him laugh for the first time, but because I made something clear, "You're weird."
He stood up and pulled me into a hug. I was surprised. My throat hurt and I can't say a single word. He burried his face against my hair and gently kissed it. It's burning, I mean, urg! He broke the hug and smiled at me, my heart skipped a beat as I clenched my fist. I made something clear.
"I'm sorry, Evel," the smile he showed me slowly vanished.
"For what?" His tone was slightly irritated and I regretted starting it with that phrase, "Did you do something and kept it from me?"
"I might."
"What?!" Here comes his other side. He grabbed my wrist, like he really wanted to know what's on my mind. My hand were trembling
"Don't be so pushy," Nervous. I averted my eyes and said, "I think.. I already lost the game."
