And So It All Begins... Again [Book 2]

Chapter 17

Leila's POV

"Leila, get up."
I heard Sean saying in a sleepy voice.

I just hummed in response.

"Leila."
He said half-sleeping himself while shaking me.

"Leila!"
He yelled in annoyance and I bothered to open my one eye.

"What?"
I turned to him and asked him.

"I'm going...back home."
He mumbled.

"Okay."
I actually didn't get, at the time, what he was saying but I agreed anyway.

"Won't you see me off?"
He said as if offended.

"No."
Maybe my answers were way to short and...rude?

"Leila!"
He yelled and got up from the bed.

All night long, we all talked and laughed and when it was time to get up, we all slept.

Sean and I were sleeping in my bedroom but Sean felt uncomfortable and he couldn't sleep the whole time.

And when Mr. Vampire King doesn't like something, he makes sure everyone knows about it.

I got up slightly too and said,
"Sean, you're not a kid that I need to show you your way back home."
Then I dipped back into the bed.

"How can you be so mean?"
By now, Sean had become really fresh.

I didn't reply.

He lied down again and back-hugged me.

"Please. I miss you a lot."
He mumbled.

"You're not even gone yet."
I said with a hint of amusement.

"I know and I hate myself for that."
He said back.

"I'm...coming."
I said unclearly as I snuggled close to my pillow.

He kissed the back of my head and said,
"I love you."

"Love you...too."
I managed to say as well.

"I'll freshen up."
He said and went to the bathroom, leaving me hoping that he'd take 3 hours to freshen up so I could sleep a little more.

After maybe 15 minutes, I heard the bathroom door shutting.

"Why aren't you getting up, Leila?"
He mumbled to himself but I had already gotten up.

"Excuse me, I'm up!"
I said while raising my hand with my head in the pillow.

"Yeah, sorry, my bad."
He said with a giggle and I could imagine a smirk following.

"So-"
He started but I cut him off violently.

"If you think you'll try to talk to me in an attempt to keep me awake, let me inform you that it WON'T happen!"

Then, after a sigh of failure, everything was quiet.
But, not for long.

"Okay, come on now."
He said as he sat close to me on the bed.

"Yeah..."
I trailed off and kind of dozed off.

"Leila! I let you sleep now get up!"
He said while pulling my arm.

This time I sighed and without resisting, got up.

I actually didn't intend to wash my face but then Sean, forcefully threw me in the washroom and I had to wash my face.

Then, I went downstairs with Sean who was busy continuously laughing at my pitiful situation.

Alex was half awoken and drinking water when we got there.
