Under The Moonlight

*17*

"You know I don't like the man who came home today", Zeek said all of a sudden, startling me.

"Hi. Didn't see you there", I said placing a hand at my chest.

Zeek in all his glory and gorgeousness was sitting at the edge of my bed. His handsome face resting on his palm.

"Yeah, Why would you see me now", his complexion was dull.

"What has gotten into you Zeek, he's my teacher", I fought the smile creeping onto my face.

He looked so adorable with that little pout and frowning eyebrows.

I gather my pyjamas and rush to the ensuite bathroom. I wash up and change into the pyjamas.

"I also don't like that man with the little bun", he mumbled.

His muscular ripped arms now resting under his head. His pretty blue eyes staring at the ceiling.

A man with the bun, Derek?

"He's a friend", I said climbing onto the bed.

"Knew you would say that", he huffed.

"You sound jealous. Why, Zeek, one is a teacher and the other is a friend"

He peeks at me through his long lashes, "No. Who said I was jealous. I'm not jealous. Did I sound jealous"

Such a man child this dude is. I smiled and scooted nearer.

"So tell me, did you eat?", I asked in a low voice.

"By eating if you mean having enough energy to show up in this form, yeah", he responded and pulled lightly ony my bun causing my loose waves to fall on my back.

He turned toward me pulled by my arm to lay me down by his side.

"Wasn't that just an explicit answer"

He hummed and put my head on his chest. I snuggled in his warmth.

"Tell me Zeek what is this form and what do you mean by energy", I asked drawing circles on his bare chest.

"Are you sure you're ready to hear everything"

"I think I am", I breathed.

"What if you get scared and leave me", he whispered.

What- why would he think that.

I get up and cup his face with a hand, staring in his blue eyes, I say:

"Zeek, I'd never. You hear me, I would never do that to you"

I see his parted lips and specks of silver floating in his eyes as such he was weighing my words.

"Whatever or whoever you are, It doesn't matter. I didn't run away the night I only heard your voice and bore your marks. And I definitely didn't run away when you showed up out of the shadows", I say staring into his eyes.

He cups my face and kisses my forehead.

"Mabet, I'm a moon spirit", he breathed.

"A what-"

"A moon Spirit, a moon child, a moon god. Whatever you worldly people call us"

"Spirit of the moon, that's interesting and- hot", I say biting my lip to stifle the squeals.

With a flash, he pins me down on the bed. My wrists held above my head.

"You think so?", he asks. His face inches away from mine.

I nodded. "I thought you'd be a vampire or something", I voiced my thought and he smiled at that.

His thumb caressed my shoulder.

"I restore my energy by staying in the shadows to show up at night in this bone and flesh, human form"

"But-"
He silences me by placing a finger on my lips.

"I died years ago and I'm still unable to leave this world. I've been wandering around since my death and one day I decided to come back to my hometown", he stopped and blinked away the gloominess in his eyes.

"And I saw you in the basement. You were leaning on this wall and talking to it. I stopped and listened to your rants. You were just a cute little thing."

"Yeah, I used to talk to walls cuz so many a times I've been locked down there that I needed to talk before I lost my sanity", I said half smiling.

"I know", he mouthed and snuggled is his face in the crook of my neck.

A shiver of ecstasy ran down my spine. My feelings contrary to the topic.

"I've been coming to see you since then but I marked you the night I saw your mom going all out on you. And now, as long as I'm here, you're stuck with me", he added and breathed in, making my skin tingle.

I wanted to ask more. I wanted to know him more but the effect he was having on me was too strong.

Besides, I was scared to ask if he had found a way to leave the world. I didn't ask him. I didn't have the heart to.

Not in my whole life I had someone who would talk to me without judging or with whom I could get comfortable. Who would rest my head on his shoulder and tell me he will be there with me.

Now that I had him and my other friends. I was not ready to let them go. Not even one of them, I wanted to lose.

"And, Zeek what made you think I was worthy of bearing your marks, after all you're a moon god and I'm a nobody a no-one", I asked hesitantly.

"You are not a nobody Mabet. You're special.", he says and places a wet kiss on my neck, sending a wave of delight, arousing my deep dead desires.

"But- How", I managed to ask between my heavy breaths and his open-mouthed kisses on my neck.

"Because", he glances at me and then his expressions grew alarmed.

"Someone's at your door"
