The Prophecy

Chapter 22

 I slowly opened my eyes. I was still in his arms and by the way his head was resting to my mine he must be still sleeping. None of us had moved an inch since last night, his hand was still resting on my waist and mine was.. holding his. I blinked feeling my stomach tightened. Damn it! I shouldn’t feel like that because we were just holding hands! No, I actually shouldn’t tell him to stay because I was just kind of scared in the first place. I slowly released his hand and back up so I could at least sit up. When I did, he didn’t seemed to noticed. He was still sleeping. He looked so peaceful and innocent with this angelic expression he had now. His eyes fluttered. He blinked, sleeping green eyes and rubbed them softly with his hand.

‘‘Hey. I said, smiling

‘‘Oh…hey. His voice was both low and hoarse form the sleep, his hair disheveled from the sleep. Kind of… sexy. I felt the corners of my lips curling up slowly and I couldn’t stop it.

‘‘Why are you smiling?

‘‘Your hair is a mess. I replied and rose my hand to his hair to soothe them down. To my surprise he let me. I grimaced since his hair was still kinda tangled so I pulled back but when I did his hand circled my waist so quickly I didn’t even had time to react and then his lips was on mine. I was totally cool with that. He brought me even more closer to him, so that our bodies were only separated by the fabric of our clothes. Well.. until he decide to take of my shirt of course. But as he was about to to take it completely off, a knock on the door stopped him. My heart was dancing in my chest as I looked sideways at him. What if it was Cordelia?

‘‘Ann? Are you awake? Isabelle’s voice said and I exhaled in relief. 

‘‘Yes. I replied although Chace shot me a look. When Isabelle walked in and saw Chace she blinked in surprise.

‘‘Did you… You two were together? She said and closed the door walking toward my bed.

‘‘We actually’‘

‘‘Just passed by to see if she’s okay. Chace cut me off. I looked at him confused but said nothing.

‘‘O..okay? Isabelle said slowly. She didn’t seemed to believe him. Chace start rising to his feet

‘‘Chace don’t’‘

‘‘No I’ll let you talk. He said smiling at both of us, walking toward the door.

 Once we were alone Isabelle sat beside me. I was kinda frustrated. If she hadn’t come Chace wouldn’t have left.

‘‘You’re feeling better? She asked

‘‘Yeah I’m totally fine today. I replied

‘‘Aiden talked to Cordelia. She knows what happened yesterday. She also wants to see you. And I also want you to tell me what was that about. She said arching her brow

‘‘What? I asked

‘‘Chace. Last night… you saved him and now’‘

‘‘He needed human blood okay? And I was there so.. It was the least I could do. I shrugged trying not to break to her. I didn’t really knew what I was angry about. That Chace left or I was angry to myself for being in love with him? Or maybe both. The vibration of my phone make me come back to reality. Ryan’s number flashed on the screen. 

‘‘Hey. I said picking it up as happily as I could.

‘‘Hey. How are you today? He asked. Oh yeah… I had passed out yesterday but I didn’t knew exactly what had they told them so I looked helplessly at Isabelle who mouthed me to say I had headache. So I did.
