Chapter 107- Vampire City.

Raina's POV.

We spent an hour at his place lingering around, playing again, and literally doing nothing, we kept giggling like school kids.

It was around 4PM in the evening, we finally dragged ourselves out of the house to go hang out with Lyn, Gabriel and Matteo.

We reached there in almost an hour, this was a different hangout, it wasn't like the one we always hung out at, it looked older, like the one that was used by them a lot, but the design still looked fresh and the surroundings looked like it was renewed.

They were flowers surrounding it, they looked like white roses, the floor was marbled, but the left part of the house wasn't marbled, it has grasses, which I supposed was used as their field.

"This is the place we always hung out together." He said with a smile, I didn't notice Lyn, and the others anywhere.

"You guys have stayed here all your life?" I asked.

"Yeah I guess." He said.

"You mean you've lived here in Pineville?" I asked Again, this hang out spot was in Pineville, so it surprised me how they lived here and many people didn't guess they were Vampires.

"Yeah, this place wasn't in Pineville before, but we built it to hang out." He said.

"And well vampire city is close, so we could find a place to build this." He added.

"The place we went for my trial, the place you were taken, part of where our castle situated, that's vampire city, you won't see any human live there." He said and I blinked rapidly, I had heard about there being a vampire city, humans believed they exist and didn't exist, I believed their existence, I was always curious about them, even other species, that's why I read lots of books about supernatural creatures,they fascinated, sometimes there was something that made me feel I belonged with the supernatural species, but it was just a feeling.

"Wow I didn't really know vampire city exist." I said bitting my lips.

"Now you do." He winked at me as we highlighted from the vehicle, he came to side immediately and frowned.

"I wanted to help you out." He said, "as courtesy would demand and because I think it's sexy." He added and I Chuckled, hitting him playfully.

"Let's just go inside." I put on a fake scolding face and he clamped his mouth, I knew he wanted to laugh, but he didn't, he took my hands and we went inside.

"The place you see the demarcation before driving for a long time and reaching out castle, that's where Pineville ends and the Vampire city outskirts start," he explained and I nodded attentively, one thing about me was, I really digged anything supernatural, I was ready to listen to facts and even exaggerated stories, just so I could hear something supernatural, my favourite reading genre was Fantasy, mostly fantasy romance, and fantasy movies and series were my favourites, I loved it so much that seeing it finally made me that happy, I felt like I could squeal, but I knew I was squealing inside.

"And also, we live at the end part, the town close to the Vampire palace is where you can see all this, I'll take you there soon." He said and I smiled.

I was so happy to hear that, I've always wanted to explore the palace since I saw the outer part of the palace, I wanted to explore it, but I heard you can't even too. You had to be invited before going there, you can't just walk in there.

I stared at the surroundings again, taking in every detail, it was such a cool place, a place anyone would feel comfortable in, I bumped on something and I realised, that we weren't holding hands anymore and that I bumped into his back, "hurry up, let's go inside, it's going to get cold again." He said staring at me with annoyance clearly written on his face, it looked like he wanted to swallow me.

"Yes sir." I threw a mock salute and he laughed. 

I ran to Lyn immediately I saw her bickering with Matteo kept rolling his eyes at her.

Matteo stood up when he saw Bas come, he was keeping Lyn on his lap, he stood up immediately and raised my brows, he just smiled awkwardly, Bas stared at him for a long time and shook his head, he went to the them and whispered and they carried clapping his back.

"Congratulations bro." They said simultaneously and he nodded with a smirk, winking at me , I turned to Lyn and told her about the engagement, she screamed and carried me, I kept shouting for help from them to beg her to let me down.

"I'm happy for you sister in law." Lyn said dancing as she dropped me, I heaved a sigh of release because she dropped me, I was also dizzy.

"So you told them already, and I didn't know."Lyn turned to Bas who just scoffed.

"I wanted it to be a surprise, and I knew you'll tell Raina, if not directly, you may drop hints and Raina is smart she would've figured it lout.* Bas replied with a shrug.

"Well," Lyn paused tugging her hair,and nodding to what Bas said " that's true though." She said and shrugged.

"Congratulations Mrs Edmondo." Matteo said and I smiled at him and threw him a kiss, he caught it dramatically and started dancing, we all laughed.

"I'm so happy for you baby girl." Lyn said and I smiled winking at her and she return the wink, we all laughed, she was bad at winking, and right now she looked so funny, I couldn't help it, I knew that it wasn't bad as when she did it earlier, but it was still so damn funny.

"Y'all bullies, it's not my fault I can't do that." She said with a pout and we all laughed again.

"It's very easy." Matteo said winking at her twice, "see, it's easy." Matteo said and she scoffed sitting down.

"Anyways, how will you prepare for the wedding?" Lyn asked.

"Oh well, I haven't really thought of anything yet." I said with a small smile, I hadn't thought of anything yet, I was still in shock of my engagement, I thought I won't fall for anyone, but he changed my mind, and when I got engaged, my mind didn't race to preparation, though Bas said he wanted the wedding quickly and I actually wanted that too, I wanted everything done and finalized.

"You're our event planner." Bas said and Lyn stood up dancing and we laughed.

"As it should be, as it should be,have you told Dad?" Lyn asked.

"Yes I did,I told him, and I told mother too, even grandfather, they will tell the others later.", Bas said sitting down again after he got the water from the freezer.

"Nice, you've already processed in what I wanted you to do." Lyn said bringing out her event planner journal writing down stuffs.

"Have y'all announced this on your socials?" She asked and I and Bas stared at each other then back at Lyn shaking our heads simultaneously.

"Not yet, we already had dating rumours, how would people react to this?" I asked Lyn who smiled.

"We'll make an official statement, but other than that, you'll both announce it on the same day, and there should be a photoshoot." Lyn said.

"You're really good at this." I told her and she smiled.

"I'm good at anything I put my mind to." Lyn said that and I nodded, She was right, she was good at whatever she immersed herself in it, and she truly made it wonderful, she was the one who had me stressed about my opening,but she was the planner, and the event was a success, so I wanted her to plan any event I had or of someone I knew, always.

"They are other things, I can't think of that right now." Lyn said.

"And also make sure you both post before the media gets a hold of this and makes everyone know, it should come from you." Lyn said and we nodded.

"Thanks a lot baby girl.' I said dramatically like she normally does and everyone laughed, I really missed them, hadn't seen them like this for a while. It made me happy and comfortable.

"And there's also something else." I said and everyone turned to me, Bas smiled looking at me, I winked and he winked back.

"Seorieo?" Lyn said and everyone laughed.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I just enjoyed winking with him." I said and they nodded.

"I've decided to become a vampire." I said and Matteo stood up to.me hugging me, Gabriel came too, and Lyn stood up doing the same.

"You're always welcome, you're family." Matteo said and I nodded.

"Welcome. Sweetheart" Gabriel said patting my back.

"Welcome baby girl." Lyn said dramatically.

"I'm not even one yet." I said and they laughed saying"it's OK." simultaneously.

"More things to celebrate." Lyn said bringing out wine and we all picked our glass and drank to the toast.
