RECOMNDED SONG:
In The End By Tom Profitt FT Fleurie, Jung Youth ~?
It was tough to testify those feelings when soone as hard as stone confess his feelings towards you especially when you haven't opened your heart completely towards him. Ayra had the sa feeling after he expressed what he wanted from her. It is hard to tell soone when you will fall in love with the person. Sotis it takes only few seconds to fall in love and sotis it takes ages or sotis you never love each others even though you have spent a lifeti with a certain soone.
Ayra lowered her eyes down in guilt. She wasn't sure that whether she had loved him yet or not but she had learnt to care for his feelings. She had t his caring side and she knew that he would be the first person to help her out if she ever fall in danger. But love is just another feeling.
Her lips parted and a few sighs passed through them before saying with sincerity,
" I..I don't know how to explain..Your Highness.. But I am working on this marriage..I..I want to give us a try but I don't know how long it will take to open my heart for you completely."
Cedric gave her a small smile and tugged on her hairs gently to reply slowly,
" It is fine to take ti Princess but make sure that it's not too late. Words can be changed or misplaced easily."
Ayra looked up to stare into his bottomless eyes and assured truthfully,
" I am certain on the fact that I am willing to give a try on our marriage but love isn't easy to gain, Your Highness. You know very well of it. Besides my heart was occupied by soone else before I entered into this palace. How can I prove you that I really want to work on our marriage?"
As if that's all he wanted to listen from her mouth, Cedric gave her a wide smile. He had no doubt on her sincerity but he couldn't give anyone a second opportunity to spoil their marriage. Cedric told keeping his eyes on her,
" It is very simple if you want."
Ayra replied frowning,
" What is that?"
Cedric responded with a smile,
" Vows but it doesn't sothing casual as you are assuming. A demon's vow an a lot of things."
A Demon's vow? She never heard of it nor did she assud that it could have different aning. Her eyes continued to blink innocently and wait for him to continue further. Cedric stood up from her bed side while saying,
" Our Vow has only one aning, Princess. You can't offer your blood to others except . Do you still want to take such vows?"
Ayra had a bewildering look on her face after his words fell out. She was already a half vampire and others naturally offered her blood. It was the first ti that she heard sothing like offering her own blood. Her curiosity peaked before asking him,
" Why do I have to offer my own blood? I an, we are vampires who hunt others. I don't see any necessity of giving my blood to others."
Cedric chuckled tilting his head aside to cast a mysterious glance at her,
" Who knows? You never know what will you face tomorrow. It is the only way to give yourself to for this life. Do you still want this?"
Ayra contemplated in her mind and she found no harm in giving her blood to Cedric since they were married to each others. But future holds sothing else for her and she had yet to know her destiny.
Ayra replied after a while and at the sa ti got up from the bed to stand beside him,
" If this makes you happy, I can do it. But I am not doing this because you wanted to be assured by . I am doing this only because I trust you."
Cedric forced a smile on his face and guided her outside the door before saying,
" Follow outside, Princess! Let show you how you can be mine."
Coming back to the Resthouse in Davina, Shanz wasn't surprised by her rude words. He couldn't change the history and it was best to keep shut if he wanted a peaceful environnt between them. As Jessie had a habit of staying outside at night, people from Basarisk's palace didn't bother to find her. After all, it wasn't her first to stay outside.
Pouring down the water into glass, Shanz returned on her side before offering gently,
" Here you go! I believe that your throat has dried after yelling too much."
Jessie glared at him before taking the glass to finish it in a gulp. Her eyes continued to glare at him in disgust before saying,
" I want wine here. Can you give it to ?"
Shanz couldn't help but smiling mischievously. Shoving his palms into his pockets, he questioned with a chuckle,
" Are you sure that you want to get drunk with your ex lover? Aren't you afraid of doing sothing regretful with ?"
Jessie laughed bitterly. Streching her palms on the edge of bed, she replied with a smile of self-mockery,
" I have already done everything regretful with you, Prince Shanz. From giving myself to kill my own family mbers, I have done everything for your sake. Do you think that I can do sothing more regretful with you?"
Shanz gulped hard without taking his eyes off. Sotis the wound becos too deep that you can't decipher the depth anymore. Looking into Jessie's eyes, he felt the sa way. He never saw her smiling like before. Sohow he felt that he was the reason behind her sorrow always.
He squeezed his palms together before asking nervously,
" How were you in these years?"
" Aweso!",ca the instant reply from Jessie who continued playing with her coat to divert her attention. She continued with a playful smile that seed fake in Shanz's eyes,
" At least I don't do anything stupid like before. I don't wait for anyone's letter or stupid gifts or late night eting anymore. I live my life in best way."
Shanz couldn't co up with another word. It was impossible to not hug her after the words she had said but he knew, he had no right. He murmured before taking his leave,
" I better get you so drinks."
Jessie chuckled sadistically on his retreating back. He was again running away from her like he did years ago.
After a while, Shanz reentered into the room with a tray in his hand that had all the expensive wine of capital possibly. Jessie's eyes lit up excitedly as if she had just gotten her favorite candy. Shanz wondered from when she had taken a great favorism towards alcohol. When they were dating back in those years, Jessie hated wine or other addictions. This Jessie was really surprising him day by day.
Shanz dropped the tray in front of her to see her picking up the bottle excitedly. He decided to leave her alone since he was nothing but a dust in her eyes. Spotting the single couch at a corner, he walked over to it with a cigarette between his fingers. Sitting across, he lit it up and kept staring at her way.
Jessie didn't give him any glance and pretended to be busy with her wines. In reality, she found it hard to suppress her feelings in front of Shanz. Her only solution was alcohol which could drive her to another world insanely.
Surprising Shanz and herself, Jessie finished two bottle of wines in less than a few minutes. Shanz choked on his smoke and watched her with wide eyes. Before he could utter any words of protest, Jessie's eyes fell on him a little groggily. Watching the cigarette in his hand, she gestured at him dramatically before asking,
" You are smoking... alone..Give it one to .. Shanz.. Please.. just one.."
Shanz's face hardened and he had a hard ti to believe that it was the sa sweet girl that he t in that night. He sat up from the couch before taking large stride on her way. He clenched her jaw tightly before roaring in a demanding voice,
" What is wrong with you, Jess? What have you done to yourself? When did you learn smoking? Didn't you always ask to quite smoking? Look at yourself now!! How did you..oh god.. Don't tell you drink everyday?"
It really worked on her too fast. The effect was too rough and her thoughts were already out of this world. Jessie giggled with a dizzy head and muttered incoherently,
" I..will ...tell..you..if you tell ..a secret.."
Shanz hissed knowing that she had already beca a dead drunk,
" What secret?"
Jessie mumbled clutching the corner of his coat,
" Sister Isabella.. always tells that.. you just used ..Tell .. today..Did you.. really love.. ever truly? I promise...I won't rember.. your answer.."
