The loud knocking sound on my door startled me and brought my heavy laden eyes lids to flutter open. I realized that I have dozed off to sleep on the carpeted floor of my room.
I went to the door and checked the viewing port to see who it was. I saw Keith standing outside my door with a flask in his hands. Memories of last night events came flashing through my head like a spinning record. I hesitated whether to open the door for him or not as I knew that he is a vampire and Dylan's friend.
He could sensed my hesitation and said Dylan has asked me to help him bring this flask of cranberry juice to you . It would make you feel better after drinking it.
My heart was telling me to open the door and take the flask from him but my head was telling me not to as he is a freaking vampire. I felt the struggle within myself , but finally my heart won the battle and I relented to open the door and retrieve the flask. Before I could closed the door back, Keith looked me in the eye and pleaded with me to call Dylan. "Our future princess, Dylan is in a worse state then you could ever imagined , he couldn't live just for one day without you". "He needs you now and we need you". With that he left with a heavy heart.
Keith's last words kept replaying in my head like a spinning record. Dylan needs me now and I need him too. What have I done? All that Dylan has done was to love, care, protect and save me. He was willing to lay down his life just to protect me. I literally yelled at my own foolishness for chasing him away.
I stepped into my bath room and stood under my cold shower hoping that the coldness of the water can wake me up to my senses.
After my shower, I opened my closet and took out a matching set of purple sweat shirt and pants and put them on. Instantaneously, I heard a loud growl from my tummy and I knew that I am famished as I have not eaten dinner last night. I looked at the clock and to my horror, it is already three in the afternoon. I must have dozed off after all that sobbing and slept all the way through the morning till now. I went into the kitchen, took out a canned chicken soup and warm it up in the microwave before sipping it down my throat. I poured all the contents from the flask into my glass and gently swirl it around. My mind was pondering over the contents of the juice that Dylan has been giving me, I recalled feeling strenghten after gulping down the juice. I was having a bad migraine due to the sobbing episode and decided to drop my thoughts about the juice first.
I picked up my phone and discovered that I had twelve missed calls and eight text messages. Out of which, ten of the missed calls and six of the messages were from Dylan.
The last message that Dylan sent to me touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes as I read it.
My dearest Ciara,
Every second spent without you seeems like a decade of solitude. Every fibre of my being misses you like crazy. I missed the way your lovely long dark brown hair will caress against my chest, your sweet breath blowing upon my lips, your delicate arms wrapping around my shoulder and your lovely hazel eyes gazing at me with love. Without you, I am a soulless man. You are the key to my heart and soul. I yearn for you to return to me to unlock the door of happiness back in my life. I love you more than the depths of this earth. I need you now, Ciara.
Love always ,
Dylan
My heart was literally jumping out from my body as I let out a sorrowful sob. I must be so stupid to let such a perfect man go, no he is not a man he is a vampire prince. I do not deserve such a man but yet he loves me with every fibre of his being and treats me like a precious gem when all I did was to hurt him. I mentally cursed myself at the mentioned of that.
I quickly pick up my phone and sent him a text message. I need you now, Dylan.
Within seconds, Dylan materialized into my room. I was elated to see him that I lunged into his arms and hugged him like there is no tomorrow. The smell of alcohol flooded my senses as I took in the dreadful sight of him with crimson red eyes, un-comb hair and partially ripped off shirt. I felt exceedingly wounded to see him in this state. He must have cried his eyes out and drowned himself with alcohol last night.
He looked at me with tearful eyes and asked , " Am I forgiven"? " Yes and I am so sorry , Dylan"
His mood changed that very instant and a huge smile formed upon his sexy lips as he lifted me up into the air and swirled me around. "I am the happiest vampire on this earth", He said.
They ordered in pepperoni pizzas anbd honey chicken wings and fed each other lovingly while watching a hilarious sitcom.
After dinner, Dylan told Ciara to close her eyes and only opened it when he tells her to. She squealed like a little girl waiting to unwrap her present. Dylan scopped Ciara up into his strong arms and dematerialized out from her apartment.
With the other free arm, he grabbed hold to the tip of the bell tower and asked Ciara to open her eyes. She gasped in awe beholding the splendiferous picturesque infront of her very eyes and below her. They were on top of the bell tower but they were on the outside , where no mortal has ever dreamed of being. The scenery in front of them was breath taking and the bell tower was overlooking the swan river and the city of lights. The bell tower was a beautiful signature icon to behold, the green glass spire, encircling copper sails, and bells that ring in unique patterns sums up the graceful rhythm of life.
Dylan tilted Ciara's chin up to gaze into her lovely eyes as he gently lower his lips onto hers and she parted her mouth and hungrily took in his tongue and engaged into the feisty throngs of passion. After about fifteen minutes of passionate kissing , Ciara paused to catch her breath with Dylan smiling at her , he materialized back into her apartment.
"Dylan, that was the most amazing surprise, I have never imagined being in the air and watching the world goes by". Dylan craddled Ciara into his arms and with that they drifted off into a blissful slumber.
