A month later...

"What are you doing?" I got startled in surprise at Alucard's husky voice from behind, I almost lost my grip on the glass tray of spaghetti covered with grated cheese. I baked it for a few minutes to add a smoky aroma and to melt the cheese for added flavor because it just naturally flowed in my mind.

"T-thanks." I breathed in and slowly exhaled the air to calm my nerves because his fingers are wrapped all over my knuckles and his body is pinning against my back. "I just remembered I heard you talking to someone on your phone and said your birthday was today... so I figured I'd cook something since you do all the work this past month."

There was no response at all so I quickly moved away and placed the heavy tray over the rectangular wooden table. I could finally breathe a deep sigh of relief but my heart's palpitations just escalated when Alucard's cold hand held mine and made me face him.

"I never received anything on my birthday since my mother died... and that was a long time ago." He caressed my cheek and smiled softly.

"Please don't put your hopes up." I grinned and made light of the gloomy conversation. "I just copied the instructions at the back of the pack and I'm not sure if I did it correctly."

"I know it'll taste good because it looks good." He held my shoulders and massaged them gently before pulling a chair for me. "How about we eat it now and have a walk outside afterwards? If you want, we can buy cake of your choosing as well."

"W-we can?" I'm quite shocked because he has locked me up in this castle for I think a month, not certain because I've lost track of time from the lack of modern appliances and entertainment stuff in here.

I only leave the property to sip fresh air and warm tea at the backyard but even then, I sometimes feel somebody's watching me from the thick woods and it's very uncomfortable.

"Yes. No one knows we're here and as long as you keep a low profile, I don't see the problem with having a date in the nearest town tonight." He smirked and began taking his dark coat off, leaving only a thin, low v-neck shirt, which highlighted his broad and firm chest,tucked in his tight, black pants.

I cleared my thoughts and throat to brush the growing awkward atmosphere between us. This scenario has been going on whenever he's near. I'm confused if the reason was we're a couple and having no memory of that makes it weird for me.

Fortunately, after the time I asked him to give me a bit of space, Alucard actually kept his word. Although he still has that raw sensuality that hits me whenever he does his daily routine. Even the smallest things like; going out of the shower wrapped only with a cotton towel.

I unconsciously shook my head and he seemed to have caught that.

"Is something the matter?"

"No." I quickly replied and offered him a serving of the pasta.

"Thank you." He said after he handed me his plate. We finished our plates without talking in between, but the deafening silence has been toned down by the clanking of our silver utensils against the ceramic plates.

I was about to wash the dishes first, however, Alucard pulled me towards the living room and showed the paper bags he has brought home for me.

"I figured you'll need a wide variety of clothes to find the type of fashion you prefer." He spoke like a salesman while rummaging the large bags and it made me smile to myself.

"Wait a minute—" I picked a red lace gown that extends down to my ankles but never really served it's purpose. The intricate detail of thin vines on a deeper crimson shade somehow covers a woman's important body parts, but it still isn't much. "... is this what you want me to wear tonight?"

"No, of course not." Alucard ran his fingers over the transparent fabric and smirked down at me. "This is meant for my eyes only. My dear wife."

"It's very revealing... I don't think I can—"

"No worries. I'll wait till you're ready." He held my hand and kissed those knuckles like some prince I used to watch on a tv show when I was a kid. I guess this is how I fell for him aside from his incredibly handsome features.

I stared at his long, shiny blond hair and felt the need to stroke that soft portion of locks hanging loosely on his left shoulder as if it's a natural thing to do and I immediately regretted it because he's now returning that stare in an intense way.

I was certain I screwed my privilege right there and then when all of a sudden, sharp pain shot my brain and some flashbacks came rushing in.
