Chapter 12
Dre had come and laid next to me. I shifted a bit so that there could be space for him to lay his head on my pillow. I looked up at him and was mesmerised by his eyes. He cleared his throat and smiled at me, it felt my heart had skipped a beat at that moment. From the smile to the sudden look of worry on his face my heart probably skip a beat and he heard it. I just shook my head, he sighed and cleared his throat again and started to talk.
"I was born in 1805, Lisbon Portugal. My father Manuel Sebastião and my mother Maria Sebastião were nobles during that time in Portugal. In 1808 when I was three years old, my parents had decided that we should leave Portugal. At that time Portugal was being invaded by Napoleon. The royal family of Portugal had left for Rio De Janerio, so noble families had also left for Rio."
While he was saying this I did a mental calculation of how old he was and as soon as I realised how old he was. I had difficulty not to bulge my eyes or show any sign of shock. He was over 200 years. You kissed a guy that is 200 years old Elly. That is NOT normal! Necrophilia anyone? I know I liked older guys but really. Grandpa no great-great grandpa.
"Rio was still a colonial capital but as soon as the royal family came it was changed to a European capital."
I interrupted him and sighed "So I'm getting a history lesson of Rio now?"
"Yes, I did say I was going to start from the beginning."
"I could have gone on Wikipedia for that." I mumbled.
"What am I boring you now?"
"Actually yes you are that's why I made the Wikipedia reference at this rate I'll be falling asleep."
"You little..." he stopped himself and narrowed his eyes and started sniffing.
"Okay it's not that. You have a bit of an attitude. I have to tread lightly."
"Yes I do have an attitude that's what's separates me makes me unique." After I said that I realised something.
"What was that sniffing for and what did you mean by it's not that?" I pulled away and frowned at him.
"I don't think you want to know that and anyway I have not finished my story you're side-tracking me."
"No, I'm not going to give up that easily what did you mean by that?
He sighed and started to scratch his head he stared at me and after thinking for a second over the matter he sighed again and answered.
"I was sniffing because I was thinking that you were hormonally bleeding."
Hormonally bleeding? What is he talking about? Just when I asked myself that I realised what he was talking about.
"Oh My Word! You can smell that?" I'm not one who is easily embarrassed but that. To make things worst it's not even that time of the month for me yet and I'm embarrassed. It's human I don't get embarrassed about it anymore. But here I am with Dre and I'm embarrassed about my periods. I had to get up. I was shaking my head pacing around the room.
"What? It's just something that female has to go through and unfortunately there's blood involved and blood and I go together."
I stopped, turned to him and pulled face "Ugh just shut up! You're not helping."
"Tsk please! Come back to bed and can we get over this and may I please finish my story?"
I took a deep breath and climb back in bed but decided on giving me and him some space. He frowned at that but put his arm around me and pulled me nearer to him. As he did that I felt tiny shocks again. He smiled and kissed my forehead. He took a deep breath and started rubbing my back.
