Chapter 50 - Anya

I just kept running down the hallways corner after corner not daring to slow down or turn around in fear that he was following me.

What's wrong with me!? I was sucking faces with an Emperor! A very hot, mouth watering Emperor. . Stop that!

I yelled at myself in my head for getting all hot over a stupid kiss. I slowed down my pase when I realized I had given him my first kiss.

I could still feel his warm lips on mine. He tasted so good and it felt so right but red flags are popping up in every direction when he's around.

Besides even if I let myself fall which I wont cause that would be so stupid of me but let's say if I did. . would I be happy with that kind of man? Someone who's so important, dangerous, manipulating, and etc.

I sighed, don't be stupid Anya even if I could love someone like him would he even love me back?. . I chuckled to myself hearing the sadness in my dull laughter.

I don't know why I even bother, I already know very well that he could never love just one woman and even if he did it wouldn't be me.

I was still walking when I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand. It's the same feeling I felt yesterday but ten times worse. Teo's presence was more intimidating and kinda sexy and scary at the same time but this feeling is utterly terrifying.

This dangerous presence felt like it was out for blood. . . my blood. I could feel my knees trying buckle and I couldn't move or scream.

I was so scared, my breathing picked up rapidly. I managed to spin around slowly expecting to have to brace for a fight but their was no one there.

All of a sudden the blood lust was gone and I could breathe again.

What the hell was that? I don't normally freeze up like that but I was actually really scared.

I could feel tears threatening to fall out of my eyes. I just want to go home and forget everything. I turned around about to walk again when I bumped into someone hard making us both fall on our butts. The tray he was holding fell to the floor and glass shattered everywheres.

"I am so sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going." I said in a apologetic tone looking at him but his face was completely red looking down at my bottom half.

I looked to see what he was looking at when I realized my dress was opened and he could see my panties.

I squealed covering my exposed body. "Don't look you pervert!" I screamed wanting to kick him in his face.

I could feel my face burn with embarrassment and the tears that were threatening to fall out earlier began to pour out onto my cheeks.

He covered his eyes with his hands, "I-I didn't s-see anything! I swear!" He cried out still holding his hands over his eyes.

"So please. . don't cry." He said softly with a hint of sympathy and guilt in his voice.

I wiped my tears away knowing it was my fault we are in this predicament to begin with, I'm the one who bumped into him.

He was wearing a uniform that I seen yesterday that the servers were wearing. He must be some kind of butler. I thought to myself when I glanced over at all the glass I broke.

"I'm sorry." I said softly trying to pick up the broken glass.

"My Lady! Please allow me to clean this all up. I don't want you to cut yourself." He said in a panic trying to pick up all the pieces before I could grab anymore and put them onto the tray.

I giggled, he was so cute with his shaggy jet black hair and his eyes. . Oh my his eyes were a beautiful violet purple. I could honestly get lost in those beautiful eyes of his.

When he caught me staring at him his cheeks starting to turn a bright pink. He reminded me so much of Quinn.

I smiled at him, "I should have cleaned this up I was the reason you dropped all these beautiful glasses. I'm so sorry." I said feeling so guilty, today can't get any worse and it's still only morning.

"No my Lady you have nothing to apologize for I should have been paying attention and I wasn't." He said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. I nodded my head not trusting myself to speak.

"I know it's not my place to ask but. . are you all right my Lady? I can't help but notice you look. . a little rou-down." He said changing his choice of words fast but I could still hear the worry in his voice. When I looked into his eyes I could tell he was genuinely worried.

"You can go ahead and say it I look like I just died and came back to life." I said chuckling, "I know I probably look like shit."

His eyes widen, "N-no I-I didn't mean it like that!" He said in a panic voice and his face completely flushed making me burst out laughing.

He looked so lost and confused I couldn't help but laugh even more. In the midst of my laughing Lucy came around the corner looking completely shocked seeing me on the floor with a guy who was also sitting on the floor.

"Anya! Are you okay? You look like you have been crying and your in the same clothes as yesterday!" She said worried glaring at the guy next to me.

"I have you know she belongs to the Emperor! How dare you speak to her let alone sit next to her!" I was so surprised by Lucy's outburst.

"Hey Lucy chill, don't be so hard on him. I was the one who slammed into. . huh. . What is your name?" I asked him feeling a little embarrassed for not asking to begin with.

"Oh, huh. . my name is Neil." He said bashfully looking down at his shaky hands. Lucy eyes soften for a moment before they harden again.

"Well Neil, watch where your going even if it was her fault you should have been paying attention. You could have seriously hurt her." Lucy said yapping at Neil like a little chihuahua. I couldn't help but start giggling again making the tention disappear in the room completely.

"Come on Anya let's get you cleaned up." Lucy said helping me up off the floor giving Neil one last death glare.

I smiled at Neil, "well it was nice meeting you and again I'm sorry for bumping into you. I hope you don't get into trouble for the broken glass if anything I'll take the blame if you do." I said still smiling down at him. His eyes widen then soften after a few moments.

"Thank you, but like I said it was my fault. ., you should smile more affection it suits you well my Lady." Neil said sweetly, giving me a soft tender look.

His eyes widen with shock after a few moments like he just realized what he had said. He face turned redder then a tomato. He stood up in a hurry and bowed before me then sped walked away from us.

"What an odd young man." Lucy said still staring off to where he disappeared. "He was sweet." I said smiling feeling a little better then before.

"I would keep my distance if I was you Anya. I didn't like the way he looked at you." Lucy said still staring off into the distance. She's only saying that cause she rooting for Teo.

"Fine but you didn't have to be so rude to him but enough about him can I please get a bath." I said to Lucy who finally looked my way.

"Yes of course come, we must get you cleaned up before someone sees how horrifying you look." Lucy said rushing me down the hall. "Well thanks Lucy your so sweet." I said sarcastically rolling my eyes smiling at her.
