CHAPTER 14 : Small Argument And Unexpected Visitors√

[ Antonio ]

It felt like an obsession, I stood in his room in the dead of night. Something was terribly wrong with me. He just looked so innocently peaceful in his sleep, I couldn't find it in me to stay away, not after how much we made love two days ago, not after I realised just how much he meant to me. Watching him made me feel calm, collected and free. It was reassuring in a way I could quite grasp.

"Mhmm. "He mumbled and rolled over onto his stomach, his arm slung over the bed but not touching the floor because of how high it actually was." Antonio. "He whispered and I smiled, glad I was in his dreams, on his mind even without him realising it. I crouched down, inching closer to his face, his lips twitched.

"What have you done to me." I mumbled with my finger on his cheek, light as a feather. My lips twitched in a smile as his head shifted, leaning towards me. I sighed and stood, turning my back to him and I went out of his bedroom, down his stairs and out of his house, locking the door behind me.

I walked down the side walk slowly, enjoying the cool fresh air.

"Antonio, "I stopped without turning.

"Callum, fancy seeing you here." I said blankly and turned around slowly, his eyes were narrowed.

"We've been watching you, Antonio. "He stated, folding his arms over his chest, trying to intimidate me." We don't like this, you and him, together the way you are." I then narrowed my eyes at him, the animalistic side of me rising.

"What business is it of yours?" I threatened. "I have yet to threaten the population of your territory, nor have I threatened one of your own."

"Being with him is threatening our own. "I scowled at him, "the simple fact that he has a soul makes him one of us, Antonio, and we want you to stay away frim him. "I growled and within seconds I was in front of him.

"You say this so fiercely but you have yet to consider the reason for my interest in him." I said lowly and he stepped back with a glare.

"Keep your distance, bloodsucker. "

"And you, yours." I said, baring my sharp teeth. There was silence as I calmed, my nose flared and he shook his head.

"What is it about him, then?" He asked curiously. I looked up at the moon lit sky.

"Just as your kind has their one and only soul mate, my kind have just that." I looked back at him. "Is it really wrong for my kind to show the simplest most common emotion which is love?" His features softened, "I, too, once had a soul, you know. Remember that next time." I then disappeared, I ran at top speed, zipping passed the scarce amount of people in the streets and going through the woods and stopping for a meal which would get me through the day.

"Baby! " I looked up from my clip board to see a beaming Carlos. I smile brightly at him as he walked over and kissed my cheek. "I missed you," he whispered into my ear in sing-song.

"I missed you too," I chuckled and quickly finished writing down the statement needed because of a baby's death, "just give me a moment." I told him and he nodded as I went into the office and pulled up the records file. I finished with a sigh and ran a hand through my hair. I went out of the office to find Carlos in a conversation with one of the male nurses. I walked over and slung my arm over his shoulder. I kissed the side of his head and he giggled.

"Hello, Shawn," I greeted the younger man who beamed up at me as usual.

"Hey, Doc, how's it going?" He asked with a twinkle in his eye.

"Nothing, just hoping to steal my boyfriend away from you, if you don't mind." His face fell slightly but he regained his smile and gave a nod.

"Of cource not, off you go." We gave him a nod and I pulled Carlos closer to me, I nuzzled the side of his head, inhaling the citrusy scent of his shampoo.

"So, how was your day? "He shrugged and intertwined our fingers together as we walked.

"It was alright, how about you? You were a little tense when I saw you." He looked up at me curiously and I sighed.

"Well, we were a doctor short today in the maternity ward, I was helping out and we lost two twins. I had to write out a statement and that it not fun. "My voice was low as I spoke.

"That's sad." He admitted and I hugged him closer and we stayed in peaceful silence until we enter his car.

"OK, so, my brother is coming to town." I raised a brow at him as he put the keys into the ignition.

"I didn't know you had a brother." He grinned at me as he started the car.

"Yep, we haven't been the...best of friends but, he is my brother. He took over my father's company when he was 27, he's 36 years old now and his birthday is coming up, my mother forced him to come see her resulting in the gathering she's hosting in two weeks, I was wondering if you'd come with me." I had blinked once then twice before turning to look at him. He chewed on his lips nervously, I could feel the tension coming off of him.

"You mean...with you? To your family gathering? Really?"

"Yeah " he said slowly.

"Um, if you're sure." I said awkwardly, he sighed.

"I don't want to force you, Antonio, if you aren't ready, I understand. "I bit my lip.

"It's just... Isn't it too soon."

"Antonio, it's never too soon. "He pulled to a stop and I liked my lips.

"Ok, if you want to." I smiled at him and he glared.

"Oh, Gods, you are so stupid. "He stormed out of the car and my brows furrowed as he slammed the car door harshly. I followed after him.

"I don't get it." He stopped and turned to me.

"You don't get it, perhaps you never will! "He threw his hands into the air. "You're my boyfriend, I'm your boyfriend, isn't it obvious that at some point I'd want you to meet my family? "

"It-"

"Too soon? Really, in this day and era, when is it ever really too soon? Time, it is nobody's friend. I don't know when things will turn bad, I never will, but I atleast want to know that my family knew that I had someone who meant just as much to me as they mean to me. Someone I want them to see as family. "

"But, isn't that reason enough to wait?" He rolled his eyes.

"I don't think the way everyone else does, OK? Obviously, if I was, i would say so." I took a deep breath and nodded. "Just forget it, gosh." He turned away and went for his house door. I was beside him in a flash, I held his hands and inhaling deeply.

"I will go, ok? Just don't...walk away from me, not in anger." I nibbled on the base of his neck.

"H-how did yo-"I cut him off by turning him around and slamming my mouth onto his. I mentally cursed myself on being so impulsive, I took the keys from his hand and unlocked his door as I kissed him with so much hunger, he whimpered and his hand fell to my ass, he squeezed and massaged my ass cheek as we stumbled into his house. The keys fell to the floor after we shut the door. He lifted his legs up to climb onto me. He wrapped his legs around my waist and moaned.

"Yes, the couch-"He kissed me, "now." I walked into the living room only to tense as an unfamiliar scent caught my attention. I pulled away from Carlos and looked over his shoulder. "What is it?" he asked breathlessly.

"Please, don't stop on my account, we were enjoying it." I looked over to Carlos, who widened his eyes and scrambled out of my arms. He turned to see the two people in his living room.

"Dad?"
