Recap…
“You mean where are we going,” he said with a smirk. “And to answer your next question no I can’t tell you because it’s a surprise.” I pushed the covers off and stepped onto the carpet, “Can you at least give me a hint,” I asked turning my head to see his lips still pulled up into a smirk.
“Sorry love, no can do.”
“Fine,” I sighed, “When are we leaving?”
“As soon as you get dressed.” I looked over at him in surprise. Why the sudden urge to just get up and leave? Well I guess I’ll find out soon enough.
Chapter 19
“We will be arriving in San Juan, Puerto Rico in approximately ten minutes so please fasten your seat belts and we will be arriving shortly. Thank you for flying with United Airlines,” came the cheery female voice through the plane intercom. I looked out the window finally seeing more than the aqua coloured sea that seemed endless since we left Miami a few hours ago. Sebastian grabbed my hand pulling my gaze from the window to his inhumanly beautiful face; his stunning blue eyes, perfect nose, strong jaw, and full pink lips always seemed take my breath away.
“I guess it’s not a surprise anymore.” Sebastian said in an amused tone, a small smile on his face. “It’s beautiful,” I replied glancing back out the window to see the outlines of mountains getting bigger and bigger as we inched closer to the island. Sandy beaches came into view surrounded by a thick line of green palm trees making it look like a lush tropical rainforest.
“You should have seen it a hundred years ago, when the land was still unknown to humans and untainted by their greed,” Sebastian replied looking over my shoulder at the island below now littered with huge high rises and beach resorts.
“How old are you exactly,” I whispered raising my eyebrow at his comment.
“Really, I just stopped counting after two hundred,” he said furrowing his eyebrows in thought before relaxing them and placing his arm over my shoulders, hugging me to his side.
“I can’t wait to show you the place,” he said looking down at my face. “It’s been in family for generations. My uncle had it built as a home away from home, though now it’s his primary home since humans became infatuated with his other one.”
“What do you mean by infatuated?” I asked curious.
“I mean that people became obsessed with the legends surrounding my uncle. They searched every inch of Romania for him. Eventually, while he was away they found his mansion and completely gutted the place, putting it into various museums across the globe. To this day they still give guided tours of his estate, passing on the ridiculous legends to the younger generations to pass on to the next.”
“Wow. That’s some story, but why did your uncle just surrender because from what I’ve seen a few dozen humans wouldn‘t be a problem for a vampire.”
“Oh trust me I was ready to carry out a full scale war but my uncle was still grieving with the death of his beloved and he just thought it would be best if he just had a fresh start somewhere new.” Sebastian said placing a soft kiss on my temple. “I finally know what it feels like to be in love like my uncle had and I don’t know how he’s been able to live centuries without his beloved when I can’t even fathom living a second without you.” He said pulling back to look at my face. I was utterly speechless, the thought of living in a world without Sebastian seemed unimaginable.
