The Vampires That Lurk

Chapter 15

It's been a few days of Zayvion ignoring me. It was emotionally and mentally taking a toll on me. He hasn't spoken to me since this punishment started. He won't even touch me. We haven't been going to the dinners either. Agatha usually comes and delivers me food.

I think it's because he's been too busy.

A part of me wants to be disobedient just so he could yell at me.

I just want him to say something to me.

My thoughts were interrupted when the door opened. It was Zayvion, of course. He looks over at me for a moment before going to his bathroom. I then hear the shower running.

About 15 minutes later, he came out the bathroom. He was wearing shorts with no shirt on. I couldn't help but look his toned body for a few seconds. He walks to his desk and sits down in his seat. I fidgeted with the brace on my wrist.

All I want is a hug.

I frown, not wanting to cry more than I already have these past days.

I'll have to tell him sooner or later. He'll continue ignoring me until I do. I'll just tell him today. I hope Lucas doesn't murder me.

I stand up, walking to him. He looks at me confused.

"Can.. Can I have a hug?" I ask, feeling a bit nervous.

He looks me at sternly with a glint of sympathy in his eyes.

"I promise, I'll tell you who did it." I added.

As I told him that, the intensity in his gaze increased. He moved his chair back, inviting me to straddle his lap.

So I did.

I hugged him, my chest against his bare one. My eyes tear up as he rubs my back.

We stay like this for a few minutes, a few tears leave my eyes.

"It.. It was Lucas." I tell him, feeling my heart race and my hands slightly tremble.

I hope he believes me.

He pulls away from our hug, looking at me. His eyes darkened which made my heart beat faster.

"The guy we have dinner with?" He asks. This was the first time I heard his voice in what felt like forever.

I nod my head.

I could see him clench his jaw as he just looks at me.

Is he trying to see if I'm lying? Maybe I should've kept my mouth shut. He doesn't believe me.

After a few seconds, his eyes softened. He pulls me into another hug.

"I'm so sorry, Naomi." Zayvion says, "I should've known. And I'm sorry for punishing you like that, I won't do it again. He threatened you?" He asks.

"Mhm." I hum.

Zayvion sighs, "I'm sorry." I close my eyes, feeling very relieved. "It's okay." I reply back.

After a few minutes of us hugging, Zayvion stands up, carrying me. Then he puts me on the bed, "I'll be back later, alright?" He said. "Okay." I replied back, lying down.

Zayvion left and I stayed on his bed, turning on the tv and watching Coryxkenshin.

—————

After about an hour, Zayvion came back. He looked very pissed off. I asked him if he was okay and he nodded, walking into the closet. He came back out, wearing sweatpants and a wife beater.

I examined his body. My eyes looking at his arms that were very toned and had muscle. Next, my eyes wondered to his chest, you could see his abs. Then my eyes looked up at his face.

Why was he so perfect?

"Are you done staring?" Zayvion said, with a smirk on his face.

"I.. Wasn't staring." I mumbled loud enough for him to hear it. He chuckles, "Sure Naomi. Whatever you say." He walks to the bed and lays next to me.

A few minutes pass and I continue watching Coryxkenshin. "Naomi, I have to tell you something." Zayvion suddenly says. I pause the YouTube video and look over at him, "Okay." I reply back.

He pulled me closer to him before speaking, "Earlier I left to go tell James about what you told me. And we walked to Lucas' room." I nodded as he explained. "When we knocked on the door, we received no response. So we went in anyway and Lucas was gone." He said.

My stomach was in knots as he explained. My eyes get a little watery, I quickly try blinking away the tears.

"Couldn't.. he just be somewhere else in the mansion?" I asked.

"No, Naomi. All his stuff was gone." He explained

Does this mean Lucas knows I told him?

My breathing hitched just by thinking about it. Who knows how far he'll go the next time I see him. What if he sneaks in?

Would he kill me?

I flinched as Zayvion pulled me into a hug, comforting me. I felt tears flow down my cheek.

Zayvion hugged me tightly as I cried, "Naomi, it's okay." He said as he began rubbing my back, "He won't be able to come in here, I promise." He added on.

Zayvion continued to comfort me as I cried. My salty tears wet up his shirt but he didn't care. After a few minutes of crying, I started to feel drowsy.

A few minutes later, I fell in a restless state of sleep.
