Love Darling? || Vampire Voltiaere

17. He wouldn't do that to his own brother, right?

Y/n's pov.:

,,E- Excuse me?,, you ask her in shock.

,,Oh, please. I may be old, but I am not stupid. I see you two flirting with each other all the time,, she exclaimed as she plants another primrose.

,,We- We are?,, you hadn't even realised that you were flirting. You never flirted in your life and now you supposedly are flirting with her son.

,,Oh, little one. Are you not noticing the way he looks at you like a longing lost puppy?,, you shake your head still a bit shocked. ,,Both of you are as oblivious as each other. I do understand his feelings though. You are human and his first love was a human,, she casually says.

*Voltiaere had someone he loved?* you feel kind of hurt of the idea that he is using you as a filler. *He did buy me though* Voltiaere had apologised for his actions and behavior, but you still don't truly know what triggered it all.

,,Maybe you two should talk more? I only see you two together in the dining room together. Otherwise I believe you are working,, she suggests as you plant the last flowery finishing the new garden.

,,It's very beautiful Mrs. Phantom, but if I may excuse myself now. Young master Phantom still gave me some work to finish before he arrives home,, you say attempting to change the subject and make a run for it in this awkward situation.

,,Oh, of course little one. I wouldn't want you to get in trouble with him, but do keep my suggestion in mind. Maybe the next time Voltiaere gives you time off, you and Brandon could do something that interests the both of you,, you have a double take at what she just said.

,,B- Bra- Brandon!? A- As in first born Phantom?,, you asks and she just smiles.

,,Oh, don't try to deny it now. Who else would it be? Voltiaere?,, she burst out laughing and you slightly feel bad for the younger. ,,Little one, as far as I know, he is "looking" for his soulmate. He doesn't want whoever it is, otherwise he would have checked the other nests for the vampire,, you mumble and 'oh' and lower your head. ,,One more piece of advice, I think you would be perfect in taming the older, but Brandon is the bolder type. Maybe get a smaller size uniform to grab his attention some more,, she gives you a wink and leaves with that.

You just stand there in shock of what just happened. *She thinks..... That I..... and Brandon* you shake yourself from those thoughts. *Not even if he were the last person on earth and I had to save all humanity and creatures would I wear a smaller sized uniform for him or even go near him!* you try and shake off the unwanted thoughts. You walk down the halls towards Voltiaere's office to start your chores he gave you. You ask one of the other maids where the supplies for the halls are and she exclaimed that she would give it to you once she was finished. As you arrive at his office you look at the time and see that it has been a few hours since he left. *He should have been back by now* you hope that he is fine as you start to clean his office.

You clean everything and try to leave his paperwork neat, but at the same keep it in his place. The other maid brings you the supplies and you thank her. ,,Once you are finished you can just put them in the closet in this hallway,, you nod and thank her again as she leaves.

It's been about another hour and he still isn't back. *He said only a few hours? Are they okay?* you concern grows more and more when you notice that not even Brandon is answering you. *Are they too far away? Is that a thing?* you decide to finish you work in hopes it would pass time and they'd arrive back
