Kiss of a Vampire

Chapter 11

Allyson Soriano

It's been days.

It's been days since that betrayal. It's been days since that night I told Nox everything.

And I never left the house.

"Are you not going out again?" Nox asked. And oh, it's been days also since he started nagging me about going to work.

"The sunlight won't kill you, Allys. It won't hurt to just go out." he nagged again while we were eating.

He was about to speak again when I felt annoyed, thus slamming the glass of water on the table after drinking it and uttered, "Leaving here won't kill you also, Nox."

He almost coughed off from drinking a glass of water as he panicked and stood up immediately.

"Are you done? I'll cook --- err no. I'll wash the dishes, I mean." I simply glared at him and walked out from there.

I went to my workroom straight and saw my laptop, opened.

My eyes landed on the screen, on a post in twitter to be exact.

I sat on the couch and sighed when I saw and realized what was it about.

The news had been going smoothly with Chrissa and Liam. The project. And the whole thing.

It was a huge success.

And little did everyone knew.. it was all fake. It was staged. Tsk.

"Don't you want to know their reasons?" I looked at Nox who is now taking off the apron.

Come to think of it, he told me to not trust anyone else.

So why is he talking about reasons now?

"I just want your mind to be in peace." he answered as if he heard about what was going on unto my mind.

"They made everything go wrong but Allyson.. it won't go at the right way too when you imprison yourself like this. Certitude won't come at you just because you want it." he continued.

He only speaks of truth and sometimes... or no. All the time, every truth he says hits me in a different way.

It makes me forget that he is a vampire and only finds myself seeing him as a human who speaks truth harshly.

I sighed.

"What if I---"

"There are no what ifs. Because if those what ifs do come true, always remember that I'll be just right behind you." I looked at him as he flashed an assuring smile on his face.

I don't like what I was feeling.

But just like that, I trusted his words.

I decided for myself to confront them tomorrow and tomorrow did came without delay nor a halt.
