The Vampire's Pet

Chapter 52

In The Morning

Alexander's POV

The brilliance of the sunlight peaked through the crevices of the windows, where the curtains were not covering the windows. I groaned as the faint light showered into the room and right on my eyes. I buried my face into the bundle of red hair of Grace who was sleeping right next to me, curled up like a ball against my chest. I inhaled her sweet scent and hid my sleepy eyes in her neck while she moaned in her sleep and tightened her grip around my neck, burying her face harder into my chest. I had brought her back from my mother's room last night after she dozed off in her bed.

"Mmm...... baby...... can you please glance at my phone and tell me the time?" I asked her and kept my eyes closed. She negatively hummed and told me to shut up as she kissed my cheek while both her sleepy eyes were still closed. Before she could retreat her face back to my chest, my lips reached to her forehead and pecked her there gently. "Please baby, just check the time for me....... I have to know if I have to get ready now or later......" I requested once more and ran my fingers gently into her coppery hair. She whined, staying in her position while she enjoyed my hand running in her hair.

She then whined and opened one sleepy blue eye. She turned, removing her warm body from mine to my disappointment. She turned on my phone, looked at the time and licked her lips while she groaned. I waited till she came back and hugged me again while her warmth seeped into my cool skin. I embraced her welcoming that warmth and waited for her answer. She stayed silent and yawned, nuzzling her face harder in the crook of my neck and breathed in my scent. She kissed my neck and said, "Go back to sleep." I was confused because to me, it seemed like I was maybe late and had to get up.

I opened my eyes after some seconds and looked down at her sleeping face that seemed to be peaceful and calm. "What do you mean? What time is it, kitten? Is it early? Answer me....." I asked and groaned. She whined at my voice and placed a hand on my mouth, shutting it while her other one came up to my eyes to close them. Her mouth came up to my lips as she kissed me lazily with a slow pace. I moaned when she bit my lower lip but pulled away and gently removed her hand from my eyes and mouth. "What are you doing.....?" I asked, now more awake.

She opened both of her eyes and whined out, "Just sleep...... and stop talking because my head is hurting......no, it's pounding, ohh my god, what the hell is happening to me?" I chuckled at her as she cursed and pouted.

"But you still didn't tell me the time," I argued in a mumble.

She closed her eyes, burying her face back into my neck and mumbled lowly, "Don't wanna......"

I raised an eyebrow and asked, "And why is that?"

She yawned and answered in a lower tone, almost in a whisper, "Because you would wake up, leaving me....... I wanna cuddle...... please......" She pouted and hugged me tighter. I sighed at this and read her thoughts, getting to know that I had about forty five minutes to get ready and it was about time for me to wake up but I didn't want to. By having Grace cuddling against me and hugging me tightly, I couldn't do that. I held her, wrapping my arms around her waist and kissed her cheek and nose, causing her to relax in my hold. "A-Alexander...... why is my head hurting? And my tummy too....." she asked in a painful whimper.

I sighed, remembering what had happened last night. I had decided to punish her for all that she did and thought that letting her suffer from her headache would be good but I didn't want her to be in pain. "It's because you acted like a brat last night and got drunk," I answered her as she stiffened in my grip. We reviewed her memories from last night as she tried to remember them all. She remembered drinking with Alice, dealing with Isabella when she got back and a bit when she pinched that slave boy's butt and when she mistook my mother to be her mother.
