"Unconditionally, I will care for you "

The door didn't open nor did he answer. She moved to her drawer and got spare keys, opening the door.

But it was held in place by a strong hand," Liana, please don't come in " a deeper voice than Xavier's responded.

"Then tell me what's wrong, am getting worried," she said still pushing the door to open.

"Just listen to me and go back downstairs, lock the door of the bedroom too," he said.

Liana refused to leave, "Am not leaving Xavier so tell me what's wrong "

Using all her strength she pushed the door open. He turned away from her, but she could hear his uneven breathing.

Getting closer she touched his back, "what is going on with you, Xavier, am...." before she could finish her words, he turned pushing her to the wall.

"Xavier what happened?" his face had turned, with his fangs out and golden eyes glowing. "why are you changing?"

"Blood, I need blood Liana" he muttered. She held his face, examining it. Sweating and huffing Liana got more scared.

"Okay, hold on " she looked around the disorganized bathroom. "Xavier, honey let me go for a second so I can help you "

He listened pulling away, his weak body leaning on the wall, with half-closed eyes.

She moved grabbed a shard of the broken mirror on the floor and breathed, then took a deep cut on her wrist. She rushed to Xavier's side, "here, try this "

Xavier moved away trying to refuse she cried pulling him back.

"I know you don't want to but if you say you need it then go ahead, am fine," she said placing her bleeding wrist inform of his mouth.

"Liana, I can't hurt " he huffed.

"Xavier look at me " she pulled him closer and when he turned to her, Liana pushed her wrist to his lips. "Go ahead, don't worry "

The moment the taste of her blood invaded his mouth, Xavier held onto her hand. She flinched the moment his fangs pierced deeper into the cut, sucking.

"There, now hurry up and explain why this is happening," she said holding him closely.

....

"We are making a scene, why did you have to carry me " Joy shyly looked away from the gazing eyes of the people inside the restaurant.

Gerald had insisted to carry her inside cause of the stairs so she would not hurt herself again.

They reached their table and he placed her down.

"This place looks expensive," she said looking around.

"I don't know, I just thought you would love it here," he said.

"Oh, I do. she smiled, " I just thought it would be expensive for you "

Gerald chuckled, "You don't need to worry about that, I bought you so I will handle everything. Just order what you want "

"Okay," Joy giggled taking the menu, then looked up from it, "ahh, can I really order anything I want?"

"Yes, anything," Gerald said with a smile.

Minutes later their table was filled with different dishes.

" Am sorry if it's too much but I don't know when I will be able to eat such food again " Joy looked at the filled table.

"You can tell me when you want to eat so I can bring you, next time too," he said

Joy nodded but her mind was on the food.

"Should we start now " she grabbed her fork.

"Go ahead " he laughed joining her.
