Chapter 28 The Facility (1/2)

The next morning...

Adam and Jessy gazed at each other's eyes with much tenderness...

Last night was been a blast, they almost did it, the real thing, the epoch of all intimacy, but Jessy will only surrender herself completely to Adam at the right time, besides she's still too young for the real thing. The good thing was...he didn't force himself into her. He respected her reasons in silence, no need to say the words.

”What are you thinking?” he peered at her eyes.

Jessy smiled at him. She has been cocooned in his arms all night long and it's something she likes so much. ”Why did you break up with me?”

Sadness instantly clouded his eyes.

”Am no longer breaking up with you, Jess. I have to admit it was a very stupid thing to do on my part. But I truly regretted hurting you so bad, I am hurting myself too. But it's over now, I will never hurt you again, not even if my family will get in the way.” He kissed her forehead, trying earnestly to convey to her what truly lies beneath his heart.

”I believe you,” she answered softly.

She caresses his chest, trying to instill warmth into his tormented soul. ”How's the situation down there with your family? Did they know about us?”

”No. They were too busy on making sure that~ 'The Facility' is running smoothly. Threats from humans, from other vigilante groups, and from the descendants of the other vampire clans whom my father has killed was always been a caused of enormous concern for my family. There are approximately five thousand vampires under my father's wing, they were living with my family underground. So, as you can see, they have no time to check on you, they literally entrusted you under my care, you are my sole responsibility,” he said.

Jessy moved a bit to gaze into his eyes clearly. ”H-how's your brother?”

”We enjoyed a brotherly bonding session, along with my sister and my parents. It's actually more like a family reunion,” his eyes glowed with genuine happiness.

Then suddenly, his eyes shows a tinge of sadness...

”My brother talks a lot about you. I showed him your face, your smile. He is looking forward to meeting you one day. Maybe in his mind, he already viewed you as his wife because at a young age he was already informed by my parents that he will end up marrying you. So, he grows up thinking he has your heart. That part bothered me terribly and I felt guilty way back, that is why I decided to broke up with you. I feel like I am an intruder getting in the way with you and my brother's future happiness. It should have been you and my brother in a relationship right now. I should not have been having any romantic relationship with you. I know it's wrong but I can't help myself, I can't stop myself from falling in love with you,” he explained in a somber voice.

Adam's voice sounded so broken it made her heart ache badly.

Jessy falls into a deep silence. She understood clearly that he was in deep shit situation when it comes to their relationship. While she can love him freely, he got his family's burden to think about. He was in a very difficult situation.

She inhaled sharply.

”Don't worry I will deal with your brother cordially in the future, but I could never love him,” she said, so sure of herself.

”Why?”

”Because it will be so weird falling in love with two brothers. I could only love one brother and give my heart and soul to only one and that is you. You got my heart and I will only fall in love with youin this lifetime,” she declared.

Adam looked at her face with pride and happiness. ”Jess, I will die soon and you will continue to live for a long time, for centuries even. I don't want you to be alone, you should marry my brother, start a family, have children, live your life to the fullest.”

She smiled a little. ”I want to marry you only. I don't want any other man,” she pouted.

Her devotion and loyalty always brought a smile and happiness to his heart. But he knew he can't hold on to it forever because he will die a few years from now. ”You're still too young, Jess. One day, you will realize that what we have right now is just a teenage love affair, you will soon forget me when am gone. You will fall in love again and I will be the remnants of your memory together with your bygone youth era.”

She nodded. ”Maybe you're right. Everything you said today made sense to me. But I know myself well. I will only give my heart to one person only and that is you. So let's stop talking about the future, it's still not happening yet. I want to enjoy all my time with you, make you happy and show you that I shall continue loving you in your grave.”

He immediately hugged her tight, he was so moved with her declaration of undying love that he almost shed a tear. ”You will be feeling lonely all your life if you're stuck with our memories,” he said.

”Nah, I will continue to live with just your memory alive in my heart. I will survive,” she said firmly.

”Oh My God, you are so stubborn, Jess!” he mused. But he was loving her stubbornness the more. Her love made him feel so important and treasured.

”Let me die with you then-?” she said out of the blue.

A deep frown appeared on Adam's forehead. ”No, you can't do that, Jess! We talked about it before, my family needs you and the rest of the vampires down there in the facility. Aside from that, you are too young, you have a good life ahead of you. Am already a goner no need to waste your entire life on me. Am just thankful that you love me, that is my biggest fortune in life.”

She smiled affectionately at him. Then she kissed his lips. ”Okay, as you wish.”

She stood up and get her smartphone on the bedside table, she opens the camera, went back to bed and straddled Adam. Then she takes several pictures of them.

”W-what are you doing?”

”Taking a photo of you and me,” then she lays down beside him and pressed her face closer to his, then take a picture again. She knew that he hates photos because he thinks he is ugly. But she will have her way. She will take more photos of them together so that she can have his memory in print, she will buy a photo album and filled it with his memories.

<<<~~~~~>>>

They were eating dinner...

Adam went upstairs after eating.

Nana Aida and Jessy were left cleaning the table.

”I will wash the dishes, Nana,” she volunteered.

”Okay,” the older woman sat down on the chair watching keenly the young girl washing the dishes.

After the kitchen utensils were already washed clean. She motioned Jessy to joined her in the table.

”Come here, Jess. I will give you something,” she said.

Nana Aida placed a little box on the table.

”What is it, Nana?”

”Here, take it...” Nana Aida deposits the box on Jess' palm.

Jess' eyes widen after reading the name of the box and had seen what's inside.

”C-condom?” she bit her lower lip and blushed.

”You need that, Jess,” said Nana Aida.

”Nana- were not having sex. Me and Adam, don't do that kind of thing yet,” she blurted out defensively.
