Chapter 8: Stirred Her Jealousy

Mirna

Who would have guessed that my first kiss would be someone would make my heart throb like it never did before. I might have dated some people but never like hers. Elrisha was indeed the only person who would make this heart of mine reacted as if it was its other half. I felt really complete around her. Just being with her I could feel that I could do anything whether it might be crazy for the others but I could. With her I could be me; the real me that I wouldn't have thought even exist.

Seeing her breakdown like this, my heart ached, and wanted to anything to make her happy from the bottom of her heart. I want to be that person – rather, I need to be the person who'll catch and be with her whenever she felt like breaking down. I cradled her in my arms trying the best I could give at this very moment. I will stay with her.

"El, I am not sure if I am your mate or what but this pull that I always feel around you couldn't contain any longer. You might be my boss, but right now at this very moment, you're mine as I am yours." I seriously told Elrisha which I am not sure why I have to say that but it felt so damn right. I am totally whipped.

"You're my human mate, Mirna. But I don't want to drag you into my world that could bring harm into your peaceful life yet, I can't ignore the pull of being your mate. I actually, didn't want you to be just my mate." Elrisha honestly confessed as she wiped her tears away from her cheeks.

"Hurts but, I need it to be something more, Elrisha." I was a little bit hurt by the last sentence that she just told me but at the same time, I felt the same with her.

"That's what I thought and felt around you. I don't want it to be just like that. I need love as I am longing for one." She smiled weakly at me. Damned this woman, she really showing her weakness to me and it's making me love her even more. Now I know this wasn't just any crush but something more.

"Then let's try the mate thing between vampire and human." I smiled as I gave up on thinking too much about our gap and differences because she's a real-life vampire-witch and I am a human.

"Did you just dare me?" she chuckled but I could tell that she was still wary about something I don't want to know for the time being.

"Are you dared?" I challenged.

"Crystal." She smiled lovingly and honestly, it really strikes my heart to the core.

"Then, it's done." I smiled but I quickly had a taste over her lips again. Though, I just wish this one wasn't just a dream or any drunken mistakes. I just hope it's real when I wake up.

Elrisha

Morning – 7:45

I am still wide awake while lying and not trying to move beside the sleeping Mirna. She just collapsed in my arms after we shared a song early this morning. She's really tired. Anyway, since I couldn't even wrap up in my head how did she just accept and understand to the best of her human capacity what she just learned about me. I am also not sure if she was just being too curious about it or it's her very own feelings. Well, I couldn't read her mind like the other vampire could. Just knowing her for almost a month of spending alone time with her, I could say that she wasn't just any other human who'll just be with someone for her own benefit or to fill her curiosity about a person.

"She's really something for a human." I mumbled before I snuffled my sneeze. Then, I got up from lying beside her.

I did my morning routine by taking my top sweatshirt and did some handstand pushed-ups without being interrupted. I went to the bathroom to get some refreshing morning bath but while the water from the shower kept pouring down on my naked body, I felt something or someone was watching me really delicately. I wanted to look back to check over it but I didn't. I just let the feeling of being watched like that and went on my bath.

"Even while asleep, you still looking at me." I whispered while I can't help but smirk over the feeling of being watched by the same eyes that kept staring at me wide awake – Mirna.

The way Mirna looked at me was very delicate as if she's afraid of breaking me into pieces but at the same time, there's a longing of love hidden deep within her stares at me. Actually, I also noticed along with that stare from her, there's a faint taint of the white tiger waiting for something. I am not sure but each time I saw a glimpse of it, it's piercing my soul and my heart as if it's marking me as its own mate.

Anyway, I turned off the faucet and let myself dry a little when I heard some notification bell coming from my laptop. I left it on before I headed on my bath. I quickly took my black bathroom robe and wrapped it around me without wearing any undergarments and just went out to check who messages me on my laptop.

"That's rare." I mumbled as I saw two emails coming directly from the TRINITY at the Roosevelt town in the kingdom of SunItsuki.

I was about to open it when I felt something was about to come into my land and will brag inside my house. I groaned since I knew the only person who would make me felt like this – pissed off. Anyway, I ignored it for a moment and went over to my coffee table where my maids left my blood wine bottle and wine glass ready. I poured half of the blood wine over the wine glass and went back to my desk to continue on checking emails which also I heard some moan coming from the bed. Mirna was waking up.

"Morning, my beloved." I greeted Mirna before I take some sips from my blood wine glass while sitting comfortably at the chair of my desk.

"M-morning. You took a bath." Mirna blushed at what I called her which made me looked at her. She's really red over her blush and her hair was a bit messy. Well, she slept peacefully as if she didn't get any chance to sleep at all except being here.

"I did. Go and take a bath. You can wear anything in my closet. Just don't wear my working clothes." I informed which made her looked at herself then she blushed again as she quickly dashed to my bathroom. She's half-naked from wearing only undergarments.

I can't help but to smirk as I shook my head yet there it goes again, the feeling of someone was indeed coming really fast toward my house particularly in my room. I just sigh and once again ignored it while Mirna took a refreshing bath in my bathroom. Then something about the emails from the TRINITY caught my interest about being a dealer for their needs of medicine.

'Cross-Aspire Research Laboratory, we're from Roosevelt town at SunItsuki kingdom and we would like you to be our dealer regard medicine. I hope we hear from you.'

I am a bit surprised that it was sent exclusively to the CEOs of the company which I know for sure Syrina would like to support them since the email request came directly to the TRINITY itself. Well, I did make some replies and processes regarding it before reading another email which I think I shouldn't. it might be a rare message coming from someone I really know the best and it was totally annoying cousin of mine who loves to fool around me – well, more on irritates me as Celestial Ceres could bring. But before I could even reply to the message, there it goes again. That fruity mint tea suddenly came out from the bathroom and my eyes quickly followed where it was coming from. My eyes were supposed to be surprised or shocked but instead, it was something else. Mirna came out from the bathroom with just red velvet bathroom robe and it wasn't covering her entire body. Well, mainly she did not wrap it around her and she just walked out from the bathroom as if she's on a swimsuit fashion show. Lovely, it was indeed a show that's exclusive only for me and I don't intend to share.

"Staring too much won't bring you any good." Mirna said as she checks something over her phone.

"I'm just taking everything in my mind which I hope you won't be doing this to others." I flatly told her which made her turned to me and smirked. Oh boy, seems like I said something I shouldn't.

"Hmm, did I hear some jealousy?" she smirked as she placed her phone by her chin before walking back to the bathroom with swaying hips. Dang this lady! She really wants to be bitten by me.

"Maybe, just around you." I smirked back as I winked at her as well.

"Then, good to hear since I don't like sharing." She returned my winked before entering the bathroom.

"Same goes here." I chuckled before I got up to get another glass of my wine but something else just happened.

I was about to get the blood wine bottle since my glass was already empty when someone immediately opened my room door and the next thing I felt was lips that were really familiar to me. It's kissing me really torrid as if we're making out but honestly, it's an annoying one. There was only one vampire that kept doing this whenever she found time on pissing me off.

"Ahm…" as soon as I heard that voice from Mirna, I quickly pushed this particular and familiar woman who just kissed me torridly.

"It's not what you think…" I tried to defend myself from Mirna but her eyes were filled with something else. It might be blank but it's dangerous and I am not sure if she knew that.

"Ara, what we have here? Did you change your appetite for you to choose this low abiding human being?" the same aged lady who just kissed me and my very annoying cousin named Duchess Freyal Cross.

"Right, she prefers me than you." Mirna challenged with her blank façade while I pushed my cousin away from me.

"Oh, dear human, did you go beyond just kissing? She's tasty." Freyal teased Mirna which I could feel the anger rising around her since her sunny snow turned into such a snowstorm.

"Did you know that she's sensitive over her ear and the nape of her neck?" She added in a whisper to her ear which I released some deep sigh before pushing her head away from Mirna.

"Thanks for the info but I prefer to know them all by myself plush she's not into you anymore and I don't like to share." Mirna might say it flatly but there was a hint of not being funny-sarcastic at all.

"What a human you have here." Freyal grinned before letting go of the situation then she turned to me and again, she found her way again to kiss me all of the sudden.

"And a vampire-like you shouldn't be doing that to your kind." Mirna sounded irritated but her face was still totally blank like there's no emotion at all. It seriously made me shiver in a very good way. I know I am not a masochist but with Mirna in that mode, I think I am fine with it.

"Don't Freyal. She might be human but she's something more to me." I just sigh before pushing the head of Freyal away from me again.

"Hmm, I know but alright. See you whenever I see you. Bye." Freyal grinned and sent a flying kiss then just vanished as if she didn't come here without any single trace aside from annoying Mirna to her core.

She just left me with the blank Mirna and I've got the feeling that this one wasn't the best one to be alone with her, I think. I turned to look at her and I think it's best that I didn't since I saw her sunny snow aura turned into such a gloomy snowstorm but more deadly. I am not sure if she knew or even felt the sudden change inside of her.

"Unega Unatsi, don't. Freyal Cross is my cousin. She always finds her way to pissed and annoyed me whenever she sees fit on a particular occasion of our meeting. Well, I could tell that I am not the only one who's being annoyed by her." I explained as I could tell that she was perfectly didn't like what she just saw but I am also not sure if she gets it or not.

"Come with me back to my house. I won't take no for an answer." As soon as I heard her stone-cold voice, I could feel death struck my chest like a thousand different kinds of blades pierced at me and I couldn't resist but to accept them.

With that thought, I just released a defeated sigh and went along with her wish. Yet, I can't help but grin since I never met any human who acts like she does around me; possessive and protective.
