"Lidium, do you miss your home? Being able to do things like this?" "Like what?" "Like…Vampire stuff. I guess. Jumping to high places, using your strength. Do you miss being able to do it openly?" He glanced at me and then he backed up a little further, holding me tighter against him as he crouched down. "Of course I do. But also…because I'm not doing it as much as I used to, in moments that I can…" His left foot dragged back the dirt behind him and he bent his right knee. I could literally see the excitement shining in his eyes. "…the wait makes it so much more exhilarating." Then he flew off and we were suddenly running up the tower wall, everything blurring beside us until we reached the window and he threw me in. I landed on my butt and cursed him for just tossing me inside. By the time it took me to stand, Lidium was already back inside the room, setting his foot down as he climbed through the window, throwing my dress at me. "There you go. You may dress, if you like. Though I don't see the point, because it's time for bed." I fumbled with the dress. "Bed?" He looked up at me and smiled. "Don't worry, Rosanne." "Why would I worry?" I replied, turning toward the bed. "Just stay on the other side. No touching." He didn't reply and I turned to make sure he understood. "You're an odd one," he said. I took offense and asked him why he thinks that. "You're worried about me touching you, when I can do much worse. I know you know I'm a vampire. Has it not hit you yet?" He tapped my forehead with his index finger and smiled when I slapped it away. His teeth decided for that moment to shine in my eyes. I looked at him sideways and thought. He stared steadily back, and waited. "No." I turned. "No, what?" "No, I'm not worried." "You have no sense of danger." I whipped around and jabbed my finger in his chest. "I have every sense I need to know that you can kill me. I know it! You don't have to keep saying it because I know it already." "Well obviously I do, because you don't fear me enough!" he grabbed my finger and pulled me to him. "Fear you? Of course I fear you! Only an idiot wouldn't and I'm not an idiot." He raised his brow at me and I lightly slapped him. "I'm not." "Why are you so fine with me? My father warned me that you would be terrified for the first couple weeks. But all you've been is aggravating, independent, and down-right stupid!" I slapped him hard and he rolled his eyes. "Okay I deserved that." "You don't talk to a lady that way." "You're anything but a lady, just a woman who's dense enough to not be afraid of her own death." "You won't be my death Lidium." "And how do you know that?" "Because you could have let me fall, but instead you held me close." His mouth opened, but nothing came out. "You held me close, and you fell with me." He looked baffled. "That's it? That's all you need to believe that your life is safe with a killer?" "Shut up Lidium, I may not know you well, but I know you well enough to see that you're not a murderer." Bump Whatcha thinking peeps
Totally not me…*runs away with Lidium* I LOVE THIS! I'm sensing some tension in that room… of the sexual kind
