The call ended the next, what just happened? Were they fighting? Emilia’s voice sure sounded murderous not to talk more of Dace’s, they were siblings, weren’t they? That was too intense in a matter of seconds, I bit my lip... maybe I shouldn’t have called.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when my phone rang and the caller was Dace, it made my nerves in turmoil within , I took a hard gulp before sliding the call button and placing it to my ear, I waited not saying anything, only my breathing could be heard, I should speak but I didn’t find my words, almost like I was mute right now, I didn’t know why it felt hard to speak, it just did, what could I possibly say?
"Emma"
I shivered when the sound of my na rolled off him, in that voice of his and my body shivered in delight, this is not okay at all! I remained silent, focusing more on the sensual state I was in than talking. I really should say sothing but I was more focused on rubbing my knee together, to ease...
"I thought you would ever call ... again"
I flashed my eyes open at his words, they sounded so... down and it made my heart ache.
"After what happened..." he paused, there was a minute of silence once again and I felt sinking. "Emma please talk to "
I licked my lips, leisurely settling on my bed. "Hey", hey? Really? I feel like a fool right now.
"Hey" he replied. Yet another silence followed.
"Dace"
"Emma"
We spoke at the sa ti and then another pause. "You first," he said softly.
"I-I really don’t know what to say, I don’t know why I called" I began. "I just couldn’t," I sighed. "... I know what you are", it was a whisper and I was certain he would hear , the gravity of my words were weighted, I could feel it.
"What am I?"
I gulped, the sound echoing in my ears. "W-Werelion" I bit my bottom lip. "And the thing that attacked was a Vampire"
"Yes"
I sighed in a shaky tone.
"Are you afraid of ?"
"Y-Yes"
"Good, because you should be"
My heart slamd painfully in my chest. "Will you hurt ?" Why did I ask such a stupid question? EMMA!
"Never"
His words made my heart slam a loud heartbeat once again, like a strong drum when he said that, I could feel it, even though we were speaking on the phone, the protectiveness, the assuredness, and sothing else lying within, I could feel it all just by that re answer.
"Can we see? There’s sothing I wanna tell you, I don’t think I can on phone" I was stunned because the words ca off more easily than I expected, I didn’t know why but it didn’t sit well with telling him I was leaving like this or it was just an excuse to see him one last ti.
"Okay"
~
I rushed downstairs into the living room and walked straight to the door.
"Emma is that you?"
I paused, it’s my mom, I was hoping I would be able to leave without getting her attention, Vanessa was out so this was the perfect timing.
"Y-Yes, I’m going out!" I yelled back. "With Owen"
"Okay honey be safe!"
I figured she knew Owen back at the hospital, I was certain if I called another na she would question. I was out the next, The Uber I called was already waiting for .
~
I sighed deeply gazing at the window I sat by again, my two hands gripping my cup of coffee, I have only been here for like what 2 minutes and it felt like 2 hours to , whenever the bells at the entrance of the cafe jingled I found myself constantly diverting my attention there, which only made more nervous, what exactly was I doing?
"This is crazy Emma," I said in a repeated mantra, I kept telling myself that but deep down I really wanna see him. I took a sip of my coffee hoping to calm myself but I felt really unsettled like my insides were rumbling, I should calm down... I really should.
At the sound of the bells, my eyes snapped to the entrance and I seed to stop breathing when Dace walked in, my unsettled nerves erased and it just seed to be the mont as we locked gazes, not batting an eye away from each other even for a second. I didn’t even realize he was before now, I did when I felt my neck hurting, and yet...
"Emma"
I shiver quickly, breaking my gaze with him and leveling it to my half-finished cup of coffee. I heard as he settled on the seat before .
"Did I take too long?"
"N-No" I snapped my eyes back into his hazel ones, I noticed they shift to my bandage hand and I saw that highlight again, it suddenly reminded of that day and I looked away. "How are you?", it was almost like he forced himself to ask that question and it made wonder if he was angry, was that a bad thing? I shook my head, of course, it would be, he might beast out, I gulped.
"Better" I whispered but I was certain he heard .
"I’m sorry about Emilia, she’s..." He paused as if searching for a word to describe her, I know that feeling, no words could describe Emilia.
"Your families don’t like humans so why ," I asked before I could stop myself, that particular question has been nagging and I found myself unable to contain it.
He leaned back in his seat watching with those beautiful eyes of his, just why are they so beautiful, please beco ugly because I don’t wanna look anymore, okay that was a stupid thing to wish for.
"Yes, I hate humans..."
I felt a hot chill run through .
"But not you... definitely not you"
