Stephen

~ The Past ~

Later that evening, Sydney and I were in my room picking up the mess that I'd made earlier.

Sydney went around picking up all the glass off the floor, while I gathered up all of the torn-up bedding and draperies.

"Grace, I need to call the Calvary in up here, by Calvary I mean Rhea, Rhea,  it looks like a damn tornado hit this room," Sydney said as she placed the broken glass in the trash bin next to her.

"Sydney I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me," I replied back.

"It looks like you had a bad case, of Vampire P.M.S Grace," Sydney loughs out.

I bent down picking up one of the mangled up detective pillows laying on the floor and tossed it at Sydney to make stop laughing, "Hahaha, I'm sorry...Hahahaa....look, at least there's a bright side to being a Vampire Grace, you want to have your little friend flow visiting you each month," laughing out and wiped the tears from her eyes.

I smile at Sydney crossing my arms in front of my chest, "Are you done laughing like a damned hyena Sydney?" I ask, trying not to laugh myself.

A knock came at the door then Rhea poked his head in through the doorway, "Mrs...Um, Mr. James requested that you join him for dinner tonight in the Dinning hall," He said to me then looks towards Sydney.

I looked at the two of them wondering what they were up too, "Rhea, please tell Mr. James that I'm not hungry, and I declined his invention tonight. Thank you, Rhea." 
"I shall let Mr. James know," Then Rhea quietly let himself out.

Sydney started pacing back and forth across the floor mumbling under her breath, then suddenly stops,"Grace, you have no clue what Stephen's done to keep you safe, let me enlighten you real quick then, he saved you from Kane, hide you away in a safe house for weeks, and went against his own maker knowing that Kane could kill him at any given time, because he loves you, and for you to turn him down for a simple dinner, well I must say Grace, that's just pretty damn sad, I know right now it's hard and you can't remember him but like it or not that man is your husband and he would die for you." She said placing her hands on her hips.

I was about to speak when I saw Stephen standing in the doorway and heard Sydney voice, "Well I've said my piece," then she walks over towards Stephen,"She's all yours tiger, go and get her,"She said walking past Stephen then walks out the doorway, leaving the two of standing there.

He walks over to me holding out his hand towards me, "Grace, would you please have dinner with me tonight." he asks me in a deep sultry voice.

I held out my to him and he began to lead me out of the room but then I froze, he stops then turns and looks at me, "Stephen, what Sydney said earlier, did you really do all that for me?" I swallow the lump down in my throat, gazing into his eyes.

Yes, other hand came up and cupped my cheek, "Yes, and I would do it all over again to have you standing here with me, "He whispers back to me," Grace all I ask of you, is to give me the chance to show you how much I love you." As he grazed his lips across mine.

Just being around Stephen took my breath away, there was no denying that I felt connected to him, maybe it was because we were married, "Alright," I reply, as my breath begin to pick up, my mind felt clouded with heat when he mummers onto my lips,"Will you let me kiss you Grace? Sliding his hand down slowly around my waist to pull me closer to him.

I felt electrostatic shot throughout my body the closer our bodies came, "Yesss...."I moan out to him when our lips met.

Images of us together flash through my mind as he held me kissing me when I saw the last image of us saying our vows to each other I brake the kiss, I remember Whitfield that's where we were married, "Placing my hands to his cheeks gazing into his eyes.
He nods yes then crashes his lips back down to mine.
