Lilly

BLOOD CONSUMPTION CHAPTER 31

Roman was now sat downstairs on the couch in his house watching the telly. It didn't feel right sitting on the sofa by him self as he let out a sigh, he went to the fridge to get his new beaker of blood out of the fridge which he was given at work. He opened the fridge door to find that the beaker was empty. "Lilly!" he yelled up the stairs. Lilly didn't respond as Roman slammed the fridge door and placed the empty beaker on the kitchen top in a huff as he treaded his feet up the stairs to find Lilly asleep in bed.

Honestly Roman didn't know how to feel as he felt like his body was on fire craving for blood as he lay down on the bed above the covers as he looked over at Lilly who was still fast asleep laying on her side beneath the soft warm covers. Roman kissed her on her forehead as he gazed up looking at the celling thinking how he could get Lilly to love him again as he sat up on the bed also thinking on how he was going to get blood for the night and he new in the bottom of his heart that he didn't want to kill anyone, but he was so thirsty.

Roman was now at the bottom of the stairs getting his coat on as he decided he wanted to get some fresh air and go for a nighttime drive as he thought it may distract him from the vicious temptation of his hunger for blood. He had now appeared to be driving slowly through the town when lots of people seemed to be on their way home from their nights out partying in town. There were lots of girls walking around in their short dresses trying to get cabs home. He parked on the side of the road as he noticed the street had grown quieter and the town was now deserted as Roman stepped out of his car and locked it with the key as he began wandering around the town until he came to a narrow alley where he noticed a homeless man sat alone by the side of the brick wall holding an empty cup. The man was wearing a grey beanie a green pair of trousers along with a black jumper with a checkered scarf around his neck and some brown shoes. "Any spare change? Sir" pleaded the man as Roman approached the man who at the time was eating an apple. "How old are you?" asked Roman curiously trying to make conversation with the man. "78 years old" replied the man as Roman bent down sitting on his feet as Roman looked at him, he could feel the blood trickling through his veins. "Do you have a family?" asked Roman as the man looked at him with sadness. "No, I'm the only one left, my wife died, and I have no grandchildren" he said as a tear drew from his eye as Roman looked at him "I'm so sorry" he said as he reached into his jacket pocket. "Here, take this" asked Roman as he held out some rolled up money to the man. "Are you certain?" questioned the man as he seemed extremely thankful. "Take it!" demanded Roman as the man went to take it Roman grabbed hold of his arm and back and threw his mouth on to the man's neck removing the scarf, out of the way as he sucked the warm blood out of the cold man's body. The man was that cold that his screams just muttered as he was cold to scream as Roman drunk every drop of blood out of his lifeless body. "I'm sorry" he whispered to the dead body as he then tied the scarf back around his neck covering the bite and lay him on the ground so it would look like he died from the cold.

Roman took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the blood from his face as tears emerged from his eyes as he headed back to his car. He unlocked his car and got in and sat for a while as he gathered his thoughts. "I don't want to be this" he said to himself as he started the car and headed off for home. When he arrived home, he switched off the engine and stepped out of the car and headed inside and checked on his son who was fast asleep in his crib. After checking on his son he walked into his bedroom to find Lilly still asleep in bed she seemed to have no idea that he even went out. Roman took off his clothing and got into bed as he lay down and drifted off to sleep.

It was now 9 o'clock in the morning as Roman woke up to find Lilly now was not lying beside him. He put on his dressing gown that hung on the back of his door and walked into Oswald's Room. Roman picked him up from his crib and carried him down the stairs to give him his breakfast. Lilly was sat on the sofa watching television wrapped under a blanket. "Morning" said Roman as he carried Oswald to his highchair. "Morning" replied Lilly as she stood up and looked at Roman with sadness in here eyes. "Roman, I'm really sorry, for how I've been behaving lately" apologised Lilly as Roman stood by Oswald's highchair feeding him some baby porridge. "Roman, I really mean it" Roman looked at Lilly and put down the spoon that he was using to feed Oswald as he was now finished feeding him.

Roman approached Lilly who was stood by the sofa. "Come here" he said as he held out his arms indicating Lilly to come and be hugged. "Lilly I'm sorry, too" said Roman as he continued to hold her in his chest. "I'm sorry for being so distant, with you lately, but that's going to change now." Explained Roman as he put his arm around Lilly and brought her towards Oswald who sat smiling in his highchair. "Can, I hold him?" asked Lilly as she looked at Roman with a pleaded look. "Why are you asking? He's your son to, I just needed to make sure that you were well enough to be near him again." Explained Roman as Lilly picked up Oswald and brought him to her chest. "Aren't you going to work today?" asked Lilly as she looked at the clock as she noticed it was almost time for Roman to begin work. "I didn't get any sleep last night, I'm very tiered so I thought I'd stay with you today, I missed you" he informed and confessed as Lilly sat on the couch with Oswald sitting him on his lap as Roman sat besides her. "How do you feel?" today asked Roman. "I feel better, I found some blood in the fridge, and I drank that, I'm sorry" explained Lilly as Roman was silently frustrated but he didn't want to portray that to Lilly. "It's fine, I'd rather you drink that than kill someone." replied Roman as he lent towards Lilly to kiss her. "I really missed you" expressed Lilly as they parted lips and she smiled into Roman's eyes. "How are you feeling?" asked Lilly as Roman sat back on the couch and started flicking through the channels. "I'm ok" replied Roman as Lilly lay back next to him still holding Oswald in her arms as he fell to sleep. As Roman and Lilly continued watching the television. "Why don't we take him up to his room, and we can spend some alone time together?" asked Roman as he stroked Lilly on her cheek as Lilly smiled at Roman as she both stood up and Lilly followed Roman up the stairs.

Roman entered the combination into the keypad as Lilly opened the door and placed Oswald into his crib as Roman then stood behind Lilly as he put his arms around her waist and started kissing her neck gently as the infant slept in the crib. "I've missed you" Roman whispered into Lilly's ear and led her to bed where they both then sat at the end of the bed. "Lilly there's something, I want to tell you" He spoke as he looked into Lilly's eyes. "What is it?" asked Lilly with curiosity as Roman placed his hands on her knees. "Leaving you was the biggest mistake I have ever done in my life." He said with an honest heart as Lilly then lent forwards for a kiss, which to both felt real. It reminded them both one that they shared the first day they met. "So can we start over?" asked Roman as Lilly pulled away from him as she then moved backwards onto the bed as Roman then placed elf on top of her as he removed his shirt and looked down at Lilly's beautiful blue eyes. "I love you" said Roman as he continued to kiss Lilly.

A few moments had passed and the two were both lying naked in bed under the covers as they did the deed. It was the first time they had done it since the breakup. They cuddled together when then Lilly heard Oswald crying. "I better go and get him" informed Lilly as she started getting her clothes back on as Roman lay in bed looking up at the celling with his hands behind his head. "Erm Roman what's the code?" asked Lilly as Roman sat forwards in bed. "211503" informed Roman as he reached for his packet of cigarettes and took one from the packet and lit is as Lilly went out of the room. Lilly felt so happy that things seemed to be going back to normal.
