Oblivion

Chapter 29

Val's POV

I quickly changed into the dress and went out only to be welcomed by a smirking Keil......

I stared at him dumbfounded as his smirk grew larger, at that moment I realized that he knew what happened between me and Ryan. I blushed slightly and rushed past him to get away from there. But to my dismay he kept following me like a child follows his mother at a fare. I halted my steps and turned around to face him. "What?" I queried and he just shrugged in reply. I glared at him and asked again "Why are you trailing behind me?"      "Because it's not always that you get a chance to annoy the future queen of vampires." He replied smugly.

"I-I'm not the q-queen." I stuttered while glancing down trying to hide my tomato like face from him. "Yeah not now, but the future queen for sure." He replied confidently and when I didn't responded he continued teasing me "But I don't want little Ryan and Valerie running around the castle before you two officially get married." My eyes widened and I covered my strawberry pink face with my palms which caused Keil to let out a hearty laugh.

"What's going on here?" Came a husky voice from behind me. "Oh! Nothing Ryan, just chatting with your future wife." Keil answered while wiggling his eyebrows at us. "And who told you to chat with her? As far as I remember, you were going out for some work." Ryan said and Keil rolled his eyes in return. "Jezz no need to be so over protective. I'm going." Keil spoke while raising his hands in surrender and left with a playful smile adoring his lips. Just when he went out of sight, an awkward silence fell amongst us. "I-I ......... Raven was calling me." I attempted to get away from there but just as I walked past Ryan, he held my wrist and pulled me flush against his rock hard chest. My palms were placed against his chest and his arms were encircling my waist.

I was taken aback by his sudden actions and when I came back to my senses I realised how close we actually were. "Raven can wait." He spoke and I didn't dare to look up because if I did I would be lost in his deep blue eyes with no way out. He has that effect on me and the worst part is that he knows it. "Look at me." He cooed, as if talking to a scared kid. I gulped and shook my head. "Valerie, I said look at me." He demanded again with the same gentleness and I had to look up.

He stared at me for some time, as if he was memorising every detail of my face. After a few minutes he broke the comforting silence "I wanted to confess something from a very long time now." He paused as if asking me for permission to which I nodded my head indicating him that I was ready for whatever he wishes to say. "You know, I have been attracted towards you since the first day I saw you. I was quite confused about my feelings for you from a long time. I was battling to understand my own actions towards you but now I finally got the answers. And now I know that the feelings were not of mere attraction, it was actually love. I fell for you at the first sight. Today I declare my love for you and I won't hesitate to do it over and over again from now on. I vow to treasure you and love you for the rest of my life. You're the only one for me and the only one I will ever love." He confessed and I was left dumbfounded. Warm tears picked up in my eyes and there was a giddy feeling at the pit of my stomach.

I smiled through my tears and hugged him by wrapping my arms around his neck and burring my head in his chest. I let the tears flow and he held me against him letting me cry my heart out. I never received love in my past. My parents were ripped away from me at a tender age and I had no siblings with whom I can share my feelings. I was left all alone in this cruel world but now I have someone who loves me, who cares for me. I am glad that I found Ryan, otherwise I would be living my whole life alone. When I was able to control my sudden breakdown, I lifted my face from Ryan's chest and whispered "I love you too." My voice was horse due to the crying but he seemed to understand it because as soon as the words left my mouth, a huge grin appeared on his plump lips and his eyes were shining with utmost love and adoration.

He pulled me in and kissed me with all the love he had, and trust me it was beyond words. I can't even describe it. It was mesmerizing. Whenever he's so close to me, I tend to forget about the whole world. The only thing that matters is him and me, us. Seconds turned into minutes but we were still in the same position. Today I felt complete, like a missing piece of me had returned to me and now there's nothing more that I could ask for. The only thing I ever needed was love, and now I finally have it. I was so engrossed in my own happy thoughts that I didn't even realized that Ryan had pulled away. My eyes were still closed as I was savoring our little moment. I slowly opened them and found Ryan staring at me with a loving smile placed on his lips. He moved his one hand from my waist and brought it to my now swollen lips. He trailed his thumb along my lower lip and whispered "You're so beautiful." I blushed profusely and lowered my head shyly which caused him to laugh and he placed a gentle kiss on my flushed cheek.

"You look cute when you blush, almost like a adorable baby. Don't ever hide it from me." He spoke in a low loving voice, while lifting my face up from my chin. All of a sudden someone cleared their throat from behind me and said "Well, I told you that I don't want little Ryan and Valerie running around before your wedding. But you guys can't seem to keep your hands to yourself." Ryan groaned in annoyance and chucked the nearby vase at Keil, which he easily dodged but the poor vase shattered to pieces.

I let out a hearty laugh at the childish acts of these two males. They surely are my favorite persons in this entire world.......
