Chapter 78- Slept off.

Raina's POV.

He kept staring at me warringly like I was going to disappear any moment from now.

"I'm not going anywhere, you know." I kissed his nose and he smiled.

"I know, it's just that," he sat up and made me sit up too, I raised my brows and he shook his head, he held my face with a small smile, "it feels unreal, I know how many times, I went downstairs and barked at everyone because I was upset you'll never wake up, and how I'll come up here and watch you lie down, it made me worry, it scared me, I was terrified," he shook his head slightly heaving slowly, "I kept going back and forth in my parlour then running back here to check if you were awake, and when I saw you lie very still, it bothered me," he shook his head repeatedly, "it scared me so much, that I hugged you, just to feel your warmth, every night, but you were really cold, and when you woke up, I couldn't even believe it at first, because I had dreams of you, and I imagined you a lot, so I thought it was one of those dreams or imagination of mine." He said.

I smiled at him, he really didn't talk much, but he had a lot to say, for someone who didn't talk much.

"Well I'm okay now, and I feel better, I'm happy you came for me, I'm not sure I'll even survive if you didn't come for me." I said.

"Yeah right, you're strong, you surpassed a poison that could kill vampires and which is very lethal to humans." He said.

"A poison?, What do you mean a poison?" I asked.

"The blade he used on you was a poisoned blade, so that stayed in your system, and when he also stomped on you, you had an internal bleeding," he pointed at the bandage wrapped in my tummy, I touched it feeling slightly uncomfortable, "so Margarita stopped the internal bleeding and minimize the risk of the poison," he paused taking my hands, rubbing them with his slightly, "you fought the rest on your own." He added with a smile.

"Wow, so that's why I didn't wake up earlier, because I was really shocked when I was told that I wasn't awake for a week." I mumbled slowly and he nodded.

"Well I'm happy, I'm awake, and I feel less endangered, but a little weak, but everything else is fine." I said touching myself.

"I'm also happy, I'm so excited, this is more than an euphoric feeling." He beamed and I laughed.

"I almost forgot," I gasped tapping his shoulders lightly, "how is work?, And my socials?" I asked.

"I made you take a work leave to a remote area with Lyn and Gabriel, someone is managing the company for me till I'm back to work, and people think you're elsewhere working on some project." He said with a shrug.

"Ahh," I heaved a sigh of relief, "it's better then, so I can stay here for a longer time then?" I asked and he nodded.

"Yeah, I made sure I sorted everything work and social life related for now." He said.

"I missed you, even though you were lying here, I missed your voice your smile, your giggles, your chuckle, your laugh, how you look at me," he said, he hugged me and I hugged him back, "I missed everything about you." He added.

I smiled as he brought his lips to mine placing a soft kiss, I kissed him back and he kissed me slowly, savouring my taste,I returned his kisses too, he tugged at my lips gently with his teeth, he kissed me like I was his oxygen or life force without me he wouldn't breathe, he stopped Kissing me and enveloped me into a warm hug, we feel back on the bed laughing softly, I didn't know when I closed my eyes, but I know I did that with a smile on my face.

 I was happy I could survive, I lost my parents at a young age and I knew what it felt like to loose people or someone, or even something you loved and held dearly, it was really hard, I know how hard it was for me, I even had to.use different coping mechanisms to survive and it still affected me today, everytime I felt like the same thing that happened to me when I lost my parents will happy again, I used my coping mechanism, I tried painting scenarios the way I wanted and it affected my mind a lot, I understood how he felt when he told me how frantic he was, I would've felt the same way, I didn't even know I would do without him in my life, that's why I planned to let him change me into a vampire too, I was going to spend the rest of my whole being with him.

I smiled when he kissed my forehead and mummured he loves me, I drifted off to sleep with a big smile on my face.

******

I woke up with a start when I heard the door bang, I turned to the bed and saw Bas jump up too immediately, I looked at the door and saw Matteo and Gabriel standing with a small smile on their face, I was really embarrassed they got to even see me this way, I know I didn't even do anything with Bas, but I was still embarrassed, I bit my lips with a small smile on my face and withdrew to the bed slowly.

"Seriously, it's that how to wake someone up?" Bas asked with a stern expression.

"Oh don't try that shit with me, I tried waking you two love birds for about thirty minutes, and it wasn't working, so I had to just bang the door." Matteo shrugged throwing his hands on the air with an Irritated expression, I couldn't help it, I just let out a giggle, they all turned to me and I clamped my mouth shrugging.

"So to what do I owe the honour of you both coming up here to call me." Bas said.

"There's a dinner downstairs and there's someone looking for you too, it's related to...," Gabriel paused dragging Bas with him closer to the edge of the room, Matteo just gave me a small smile, I looked at him raising my brows in question, and he shrugged pointing to Bas, I knew he wanted me to ask Bas myself, "grandfather is asking about the Memoar." Gabriel said and Bas scoffed.

"He said he is making a dinner to celebrate the fact they Raina is awake, so both of you downstairs, the dinner is about to start." Gabriel said and dragged Matteo who waved before running out with him.

"So I guess we have to go downstairs," I said softly and he groaned in frustration, I just laughed.

"Yeah we have to, let me think of something you can wear." He said rubbing his jaw absently, turning his mouth to muse on what I should wear.

"It looks like it's not a formal dinner like it was right?" I asked and he gave an expression that he didn't even know.

"Let me ask them." He said, taking his phone he moved to the edge of the bed and sat down, I went there and sat close to him, he shook his head and I raised my brows and he chuckled, he put the phone on speaker, dropping it on the bed, he picked me up and sat me on his lap.

I heard Matteo mumble in the phone when he picked up that it was a casual setting and I smiled, he ended the call facing me.

I decided to make a gown out of his shirt, I brought out his longest shirt which stopped at my knee when I tried measuring.

He dragged me to the bathroom with him and I squealed, he removed my Bandage slowly and I realised there was no wound anymore, he looked shocked and surprised, I was also flabbergasted, I pressed my hands a little hard at the place I had the bandage and could still feel a little pain, I winced and stopped, he glared at me and I bit my lips looking down.

"Now the wounds have disappeared doesn't mean the pain has, so you have to be careful, the balm she used cleaned the wounds you had and left no visual mark to it." He said and I nooded.

We left the bathroom with me squealing because he carried me out treating me like I was some egg that was going to shatter soon.

I used his shirt and his tiny belt for a shirt gown, the shirt was blue in colour, I used the sneakers I found, it was my size, I was surprised because I knew his shoe was bigger than mine and it looked like a girlish sneaker, I looked at him in question and he shrugged, I tied my hair in a ponytail leaving some part to my face,I turned to Bas who brushed his hair and wore an dark grey coloured long polo and a dark grey sweatpants with blue stripes, he matched my blue shirt, we left the room, he held my hands and teleported to the dinning area.

We walked in there and saw many people seated, Bas brought out a seat for me and I sat down, I was nervous and he sat down close to me, holding my hands tightly.
