GINGER PHOENIX a novel by M. Cairol Yakup

Chapter 6

THE BLOOD STORIES

"Azzim, wake up! It's already 8.00 in the evening!"

Azzim opened his eyes lazily. Avery was sitting next to him, smiling. The first thing he saw from the boy's naked torso was his chest. The wounds caused by Ginger were all dried. He wasn't dreaming about Avery and Ginger.

"I made you dinner. Get up, go and take a shower!"

"Wow, you healed very fast!" Azzim said.

"Thanks to you, Hey, can I borrow your shirt?" Avery asked.

"Yeah, sure."

Avery went to Azzim's closet and took a black t-shirt. The t-shirt fitted him well although Avery seemed to be smaller and shorter by inches.

"You need to change that jean as well! It's too bloody!" Azzim said.

Avery looked down on his dirty jean. He agreed with Azzim.

"Thanks, are you willing to borrow me your underwear too?" Avery joked.

"WHAT? OH NO~dude! Not in front of me! That's~"

Avery took off his jean and he was naked from waist down.

"What? Apparently, the equipment I have is same like yours!"

Azzim turned around. This was the first time he ever saw a naked boy before his eyes. Avery looked so juvenile and he felt so wrong seeing him like that.

"You're not gay, are you?"Avery chuckled.

"Of course not!"

"Bisexual, maybe?"

"I'm not that too!" Azzim got off from the bed and headed to the bathroom.

After cleaning himself in the shower, he realized that he forgotten to bring a towel. He cursed under his breath. He opened the door and called the vampire.

"Avery!"

"What?"

"Where are you?"

"Still here!"

"Can you please bring me my towel?"

"Why?"

"Well, I'm naked right now!" Azzim said hotly.

"What's the problem? The towel's here. Get it yourself!"

Azzim swore. He knew Avery won't be handing him the towel. It was really weird that he was expecting Avery would say that. He closed his private part with one hand and got out of the bathroom.

"Oooh... Someone's angry!" Avery winked.

Azzim turned his back from Avery and grabbed a towel on the bed. He wanted Avery out of his bedroom. Surprisingly, Avery got the message and left the room with one of Azzim's photo album in his hand.

"I'll be in the kitchen!"

Azzim shut the door behind Avery and locked it just to make sure that the vampire won't be coming up while he was drying himself up and put some clothes on. Once he was ready with he was ready with his uniform, he went to the kitchen. Avery made meatloaf for dinner.

"Beef meat, again?"

"It's a good source of protein, replacing your red blood cell! I drank your blood, remember? So, this is how I make up to you!"

"All my life, I was told that the vampires are evil! Who would've thought I met two decent vampires here in this town?"

"Hey, that's shallow, not all vampires are evil, okay?"
