Pure Bloodlust

Chapter 3

I stood in front of my mirror looking at myself from head to toes. I was wearing a red dress and my hair was wavey curled them down. After I fixed my hair and dress for perfection, I heard the knocking from my bedroom door. "Come in" fixing my hair and I did not look who is coming through the door until I see the shadow standing beside me. I stopped what I'm doing and looked at the person. When I turned around and see the person behind me was Xavier. I looked at Xavier who is more dashing than the Christmas light, the pale skin was glam by the chandelier lights. red tie and black suit as always. I blushed and feel butterflies in my stomach. 

"My lady, all guests have arrived and I assumed you are already set?" I looked at him and nodded. "I am all ready just one problem, I seem cannot reach my zipper. Would you mind helping me zip it?" I turned around and my back facing him. Without feeling all shy, I showed him the zipper that I am obviously cannot reached. I can feel his footsteps getting more closer to me and then I felt his fingers grabbing the zipper to the physical touch of my skin. I cannot helper myself by getting all flustered and all. "All done my lady" I broke my froze and look behind me. It is all zipped well. "Thank you Xavier"

Noticed he nodded and still has he gaze lingering on me while I looked at the reflection of myself. I don't know what to do nor what to say. I broke the silence by saying "I'll be done in a minute can you wait downstairs?" I turned to him noticing his gaze with his shiny blue eyes on me. He looked up to my eyes and then "Yes my lady. I'll wait for you downstairs." He nodded and leave the room. I was almost out of breath just because of the gaze he gave me. I put my palms on my chest feeling that my heartbeat going crazy already. I tried to calm down with breathing in deeply and let it out. I looked around me and there was nothing else so I go and head downstairs. 

I walked down to the stairs and seeing there was a lot of guests my father invited. All of them are his friends and I do remember them all. As I was at the end of the stairs, I saw Xavier was already had his gaze already lingering on me and I was out of breath but I smiled at him. He was holding his palms out for me to hold them. I nodded as a thank you and he still have his eyes on me. I caught him staring. "You stared at me as if I am your last meal on this earth" I laughed noticing he blushed a bit but then a second moment he looked at me then leaning to my ears. I froze and flustered by the words he said to my ears. It burned my ears as well. "You look stunning tonight, my lady" then he cleared his throat while we both walking towards to my father.

The banquet look so bored and I feel I do need some air. "Father, if you excuse me. I'll go get some fresh air" my father nodded and I go to the courtyard for awhile needing some fresh air. I was all alone and I have not seen Xavier yet. Where is he? I stepped outside and I heard some voices not too far from where I stand. "I will be back" a familiar voice and when I looked to my right it was Xavier. He was on the phone with someone? I walked slowly heading towards Xavier and I have not making any sounds. I was about to surprise me but I guess he surprised me first. "My lady" he turned and looked at me. "I was about to surprise you but then you are very sensitive are you" I looked at him and then I saw that smiled again. "I have reflexes" I scoffed and look around the view of the courtyard. "Beautiful night is it Xavier?" I closed my eyes and feel the wind breeze on my face. "It was beautiful indeed my lady" I smiled listening to his respond until he said it again that makes me even flustered. "But not as beautiful as the lady in front of me now" 

I opened my eyes and turned to him. He was already standing so close behind me. I looked at Xavier and I was sank in his gaze thought about why does he gave me that compliment. He hold both my arms and staring inside my soul without a word. I cannot move an inch and just stand there frozen. I'm drowning in his gaze. He let go of me and just continue looking at me. "Are you cold my lady? Your cheek is brighten red" he cupped my cheeks as I know that was not freezing but heating. "I'm fine, it is not that cold" I laughed a bit but he took of his blazer and gave it to me. "That is enough for fresh air. Let us go inside at least you can be more warmer." I nodded and he took my back inside.
