Chapter 5 One Month Later

Chapter five; One Month Later

Ivy's POV

One month later; The sunlight peeked from the window almost blinding my eye that has now gotten so sensitive to sunlight, despite the blinds covering the window, there was a little opening in the middle of it that radiated sunlight into the room, indicating the start of a new day. I instinctively stood up to close the window and the blinds properly since my eyes were hurting from the sudden exposure to the sun's radiation. I didn't make it far, in fact, I didn't even manage to leave the bed, instead, strong hands pulled me from behind by the arms until I was hitting a chest as hard as a rock. I looked down at the handsome man on the bed together with me, I had almost forgotten he was there with me, my love, my everything, he sat and pulled me to sit at the edge of the bed placing me on his lap. When I struggled in an attempt to free myself from his grip, he hugged me even tighter making my cheeks become redder than a tomato as if that was possible. I stared at Adeseun looking at me with what looked like a love-filled in his eyes, the window long forgotten. Even the sunlight didn't bother me now, I had something more important to focus on, or rather someone. 'What do you want?' I asked despite knowing what he wanted, I could guess already but I wanted him to answer me directly and with honesty so we could finish the conversation once and for all. I just hope he had changed his mind or forgotten it, that way, I wouldn't have to hear him say or bother about any of it. After a while without an answer from him, my little wall of hope was cracking and I was beginning to think he wouldn't give me what I wanted. 'What do you want?: I asked again as I got comfortable on his laps, if that's what he wants I'll play it his way, I grabbed hold of his shoulder pushing myself even closer to him, his grip on me tightened and he hugged my waist and rested his head on my chest. I don't know how long we have been in that position until he suddenly spoke "I want to hug you like this. Feel your warmth near me every day, just like I did, I still want to," he said ever so quietly that if not because I was this close to him, I wouldn't have heard it. Does he think I'll be fooled with those sweet words coming out from that beautiful lips of his that keeps inviting me to bless it with my lips since at they we met, I was already warning my inner self. It did not help that he bit his lips just at that moment. 'I said you could do whatever you wanted, be whatever you desire only just come home with me. All my life, when I thought I lost you, I was devastated, you have no idea how much I missed you, my life was miserable and empty without you in it, I want to be one with you, let us be together, you will always be mine even death can not separate us. "We will die together because I can't leave without you." Adeseun eyes which were warm and soft before turning cold. By the time he said all that. 'What do you mean even death? Are you going to kill me?' I asked a little panicked while trying to stand up from his lap, his eyes looked so cold and scary, it didn't help that I his hands were still wrapped around me, did he find out how to kill a vampire? It's funny he's talking about death when I am now close to mortal. If anything, he is the one that would die, not me. I can't just go back like that and appear before everyone when they all thought I was dead. Am sure my parents mourned my death for a long time, am their only daughter for heaven's sake Seun, you said it yourself, what do you think? 'All I want is you, only you. I have nothing in this world and you are the most important thing to me. Ivy, don't you have a heart? Am sure your parents would be very happy to see you, do you not miss them? When they thought you were dead, they were devastated, your mom, kept crying, even on your burial day, she was in denial and kept saying you were not dead. I guess she was right, after all, I wish I listened to her then, maybe I would have been with you longer.' I saw concern in his eyes, before masking it up to his face so it was void of emotions. For a little while I stared at him, quietly, I wondered how Adeseun knew my parents, he talked as if he was close to them, if I worked in the Nature's Gift for God knows for how long, when I was still human, I could not help but wonder did Mr. Adeseun openly show interest in me? It would probably be discreet, so what changed, did he care about my parents, if he did, that'd be too great even for him. And it makes me happy. 'I do not care about your parents, if you don't want them in your life again so be it, All I want is you, only you. I have nothing in this world and you are the most important thing to me, am I not good enough for you? Do you love me less?" "I don't care about your parents, if you don't want them in your life again so be it, All I want is you, only you. I have nothing in this world and you are the most important thing to me, am I not good enough for you? Do you now love me less?" I guess my thought of caring for my parents was too early." He was still talking when I perceived his scent, Aiden was outside my house. Suddenly my eyes opened, I woke up and found out that it was just a dream and I had nothing to worry about, at least not much. For a minute I thought I was together with Adeseun and he was telling me some weird things in the dream, although I don't remember entirely what it was, I still knew it had something to do with the guy from the Christmas party. And there's Aiden who is avoiding me, he had been avoiding me lately, it seems as though Since when we went for the Grand High master's birthday, my life has not remained the same again. Whoever knew things were going to turn out this way. It is true one doesn't know tomorrow, I was busy enjoying my party before I became carried away by my hormones. If only I knew all this was going to happen by just attending that party to escort Aiden, I definitely would not have agreed to go. Later after it's getting up to a month and I had gone to ask Aiden from Antonio, not because of anything special but he's my co-worker and I just cared that he's alive and save but Antonio refused to tell me where he was again, rather, he drops a bomb at me. He invited a man to join us saying that it was a good thing that I came and introduced the person to me as Adeseun, even before he said it, I noticed that his scent was rather off from vampires. I gave Antonio a questioning look and he explained that Adeseun is not a vampire but a mundane from the earth, he was sent to Transylvania by the Elis for an experiment and he was going to stay in the community for a While. A whole being until whenever the Elis says it's time or until he gets attacked and dies. That's not the funny part though, it is that Antonio wants to entrust him into my care, while just because I was once human and he seems to believe I would understand him more and he would be more comfortable around a pretty lady. I felt like that's not fair, should I be forced to do things just because I am pretty? In my opinion, I am not even that beautiful. I was just an ordinary young lady. Antonio knows how to get me, he promised to promote me at the academy if I carried out this task successfully. Adeseun just sat there and looked at Antonio and me while we exchanged words about him. After all, was said, that was when I got a very good look at the Adeseun Man and realized he seemed familiar, his features looked like someone I met at the party, someone who even hunted my dream today, his scent filled my nose, it was indeed the strange man who had kissed me. Goodness, could my life be any complications?
