My Vampire Mate

Compromise Continued

A/N: The rest of the last update isn't showing so the end of it is going to be on this page. Sorry about the inconvenience!

 I walked over to our suit cases, since we haven't had time to unpack, and grabbed a heavy coat, my cell phone, and slipped on my boots. I heard him sigh and looked over at him to see he had his head down. "Where are you going Kiera?" I didn't answer him and started walking to the door, determined to get away from his arrogance. He put his hand on my shoulder and gently and stopped me, not that it would have taken him a lot of effort, I was tired and didn't even want to be up right now. I kept my head down until I heard the glass bottle bit the hard plastic of the trash can, shocking me since he looked dead set against me getting rid of the bottle. He put his index finger beneath my chin and lifted my head up to look at him before slowly wiping a tear from my cheek. I hadn't even realized I was crying. "I don't want to fight...," he said lowly, still staring into my eyes. I just nodded my head and he leaned down and placed a light kiss on my lips, and I allowed it. He didn't push for anything more, and I was grateful because we were on shaky grounds and I was in no way ready to be all happy and mushy with him again. Yes, I forgave him. Yes, I still love him, but I'm not sure where we're gonna go from here. He reluctantly pulled away from the kiss and put his forehead to mine. "Can we please stay for the rest of the vacation? We'll completely change the itinerary if you want. Just...please, lets finish this. It'll give us time to work on our relationship without any of your friends or family getting involved and we won't even see my family the rest of the time we're here, like we planned on doing, unless you want to..." he whispered softly then trailed off. I took a deep breath and thought about it for a moment. Maybe he was right about it giving us a chance to work on our relationship without anyone getting in the way, which would be nice. And I mean, he did pay for the entire vacation and we'll probably not be coming back to Iceland for a long while, so we might as well enjoy it while we're here. I slowly nodded my head, rubbing my forehead against his, "Yeah...we can stay." He smiled immediately and kissed my head softly before picking me up and walking us back to the bed. He laid me down and got in beside me before residing to our previous position earlier. "I love you..." he whispered in my ear softly. I smiled to myself slightly and whispered it back before falling asleep.
