Kiss of a Vampire

Chapter 9

Allyson Soriano

I woke up at exactly 9:00 a.m. while expecting a hectic schedule for today because probably, today's the start of working on the no. 1 project.

"Good day, Allys." It was his voice that greeted me the moment I stepped out of my room and just like how it is everyday, I can smell a hint of food coming from the kitchen.

Still sleepy, I uttered, "Good day too, Nox." He gave me a smile after that.. when I suddenly noticed paper bags at the floor next to the couch.

These are... the stuffs I bought him yesterday.

"Oh yes. I fetched your stuffs at the car last night.. I don't like sleeping all the time." Psh. Says someone who I remembered dropping himself at the couch and fell asleep just a seconds after.

"They're yours. It's uncomfortable seeing you looking so formal." I uttered and saw his mouth encircle in awe. What a kid.

I went to the kitchen immediately to eat and noticed that he followed me too. He sat in front of me and started eating.

I ignored it and starts to eat. I was about to take out my phone to surf the internet while having breakfast when he suddenly fetched it away from me.

"If you're bored while eating, then look at me." I almost cough at what he said.

How can he be so frank early in the morning? While eating at that.

I don't really understand him that well. Sometimes he's shy and embarassed. But these kind of scenes - where he is too straight forwarded and a bit mischievous, are also starting to surface.

What's next? Is he going to be racy?

He grinned while eating, "No, Allys. Don't get your hopes up. Like what I've said. I'm a conservative vampire."

And that's the time I felt something stucked on my throat and coughed continuously. I saw how he panicked and get me a glass of water immediately.

How can he read my mind so easily? That's unfair.

I took the glass of water from his hand and glared at him after drinking.

He avoided his gaze on me and continued eating. Tsk.

Minutes had passed and I arranged the stuffs I needed to bring for later while Nox was busy washing the dishes.

"My phone?" I asked him when I finished the deed and thought of texting or mailing some staffs that will be working with me for the project for some new infos or any news.

Well no one knows. The meeting might get cancelled again without me, knowing.

I got my phone from him and went back at the living room to lay down.

I clicked a group chat on the messenger: Chrissa and Liam.

Where are you? Let's hangout after.

I typed and sent it, referring to the wrap-up of a successful meeting later.

I waited for a minute and noticed that they are not even online. What are these guys up to again?

I rolled at the couch and faced the other side and saw Nox, reading another book now.

Am I going to feel anxious this time again? Or... what if he reads a sad, dramatic scene?

I ignored my ideas and clicked on the screen to my twitter acc.

Silently, I scrolled at the feed since I still had an hour before the meeting starts. I don't wanna go early too.
