The Half Heir

12

    "Wow. I have no idea my showers were that long." I state as i see the amount of food on the table. Andrian chuckles, warming my heart.

   "I had it all prepared when you were training. I had to beg the cooks for 3 three days for all the food which is on the table. They werent very happy preparing extra but i didnt back down." He said, sounding very proud of himself.

   "Awww. Thats so sweet of you. You really do know how to cherish me." I tell him, grinning. I look at him across the table, the candle light giving him a golden glow. I rest my head on my hand and just look at him. I just love looking at him.

   "I had been noticing how you werent eating like you usually do. I had to do something about it." He explained with a shrug.

   I grin grew wider. I just felt so special when he did stuff like this for me. His small gestures showed how much he cared about me. I got off the chair i was sitting on, reaching across the table and planted a kiss on his lips. I could feel his smile as he kissed me back. I sat back, blushing. He slowly revealed all the food he had had prepared.

   There was lasagna, french fries and brownies with chocolate syrup. My mouth watered as i saw all the food. I immediately served it to him and me. As soon as i had served everything, i ate like i had never eaten before. God i loved food. I was so thankful for it all. I know usually people would talk while eating food. But when there was food on my plate, i didnt care about anything else.

   Fortunately Andrian knew that talking would not be possible. He quitely ate and smiled as i happily stuffed my face with the amazing food. I will definitely have to go to the kitchen and compliment the cooks. After i was done with the cheesy lasagna and fries. I eyed the brownie hungrily. I dont share desserts. I looked at Andrain questioningly. He was still only beginning with his lasagna. He looked up at me and gave me a knowing look.

  "Its all yours." He said and i grinned at him.

   The brownie was gone within seconds. I happily leaned back and looked at my stomach. It was slightly swollen. I was happy my vampire genes prevented my body from changing much. Though my belly had reduced a little. Lucia had made sure of that. I am pretty sure Lucia would skin me if she found out how much junk food i had eaten. But well its not the junk food could harm me and even if it did, i was here for a good time not a long time.

   I just sat there, rubbing a hand on my belly and looking at Andrian eat. God must be feeling really good when he created Andrian. He is just perfection. How can someone look so good while eating lasagna. He caught my stare and smiled at how i was staring at him. We both just stared at eachother, smiling and just existing in peace. It was real. It was too real if you ask me. Whatever was going on me between him and me, it was the most real thing ever.

   After he was done, he bent down and reached under the table. He came up holding two glasses and a bottle. Isnt wine supposed to be had with the food? Just as i am about to voice my question, he opened the bottle. Blood. I smell blood. I immediately sat up. I felt my own blood rush in anticipation as Andrian poured the blood into the glasses. It was crimson and i could smell it metallic tang. Andrian then passed one of the glasses to me.

   I shook my head, pushing the glass away. I was scared. I was terrified of drinking blood. I was scared that even after all the magic and the sacrifices, i might loose myself to the blood lust. I was so so terrified of loosing myself. Truth be told, i hadnt entirely accepted my vampire side. I mean i know i am a half-vampire but i hadnt tried to find out what my powers were or how fast or strong i was. I hadnt pushed myself to the breaking point yet. I dont think i was ready.

   "Chantel." Andrian said softly, taking my hands in his cold ones.
   "Its alright. You will be fine. You wont loose control. I will be right here. I will help you through it. It is important for you to learn how to consume blood. Within a few weeks you will be sent away. If you loose yourself with them you will never be able to find yourself again. This is very important. I will make sure you dont lose yourself. Its all about your will. Remember, you control yourself. You do not yield to anything or anyone." He told me, sounding so strong and determined.
