154 Broken vase- Part 5 (2/2)
Since they had arrived back from Valeria, she sensed something bothering Nicholas. With years she had learnt to respect peoples space and it was one of the reason why she didn't pester him on what was going inside his mind. Two pairs of muscular arms came on either side of her before she was pulled back carefully. Talk about the devil. Heidi smiled feeling Nicholas' lips on her neck, one kiss following another like footsteps of a cat's paws across the side of her neck.
”What are you doing here? You will catch a cold,” softly swaying her in his arms as if the wind was a beautiful music.
”You will nurse me back to health,” Heidi responded, confident that he would take care of her.
”That I will. Stanley brought new equipment to his room, there might be needles we can use,” he teased her to see her shake her head, and she then heard him sigh as he buried his head in between the crook of her neck, ”Stay just like this,” at his words, she tightened her arms on his so that it was locked securely.
”It is going to rain heavily,”she commented, lightning in the clouds peeking out in the sky.
”It's Bonelake darling. This is just the beginning of the actual rain. Timothy gave us two tickets to the theater. Would you like to go?” he asked being considerate. Turning around while still in his arms, she looked up to gaze into his eyes. His maroon eyes reflected back her reflection.
”You have been a little distant. Did something happen?”
Nicholas smiled, ”Is it that evident?” She nodded, continuing to look at him, the smile turning smaller and smaller until it wasn't there anymore. He closed his eyes for a second before opening it to speak,
”Alexander is a dark witch come vampire, a rare one at it. He holds ability which are rare like mine,” he turned his face to look at the clouds, ”When he touched your hand that day, he felt your soul has been damaged. People having those kind of souls don't have the strength to handle the transition from human to half vampires because there are high chance of-”
”Me turning to a bat crazy vampire,” completed Heidi.
She had read about souls during her studies with Stanley and she understood what he was talking about. If what Nicholas said to her was true, then that meant she had only human years to spend with him. Rain had begun to pour down from the sky, thunder and lightning striking down. If it was something they couldn't do there was no point worrying about it because worrying would do no good to either of them. She wanted to spend all her waking and sleeping hours with him. Make enough memories so that she wouldn't regret.
”You will be married to a grandmother,” she frowned in worry. Nicholas chuckled softly, ”Is that what worries you?”
”Didn't I swear that I will accept you however you are? In any and every form you can give yourself to me. I will continue loving you the same way I have since I fell in love with you. Even after death,” he whispered.
”Then we shouldn't be wasting time. Let's make most of what we have,” she spoke cheerfully trying to cheer him up. Heidi stood on her toes, staring at him as she tried leveling to his height and touched her lips on his. His hand making way to her back, pressing her closer such that her body arched into him.
”Hold me tonight,” the words she whispered was sweet on his lips. Nicholas ran his thumb over her bottom plum lip, a smile playing on his lips, ”That was the plan. Today and every night,” until time stops, he said it to himself.
