Exercise

Leon chuckled lightly when he saw her scary face.

" Uhm....do you mean you haven't encountered a Vampire or a dragon? maybe you've met it without knowing Samantha."

Leon glared at her seriously, he knows what he was talking about. He's trying to prepare her mind, she might pass out one day when she encounters a vampire.

" Are you trying to scare me, Leon?" She waved her hand at him. She doesn't believe those creatures exist in this planet, she just read the stories about vampires and supernatural creatures in fantasy novels.

" No! I'm not scaring you. I'm just trying to imagine if those creatures exist." Leon tilted his head thoughtfully, peeking Sam from the corners of his eyes.

" You're just being paranoid Leon, you have to stop watching those movies." Sam heaved a slow sigh, she shivered slightly when the cold-air breeze brushed her skin.

" It's getting too cold outside, let's go back to the mansion." Sam stood from the Bermuda grass lazily, they walked in silence, everyone was lost in his/her world of thoughts.

The delicious aroma lingered in Sam's nostrils when the wooden mahogany door swung open. Her stomach grumbled violently, she never knew she was that hungry.

" Why does Alexander cook for himself? he's a billionaire, right?. He can hire the highly decorated chef in the whole world if he wants to."

Sam shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, she wonders what the hell is happening with Alexander. He cooks the most delicious food she has ever tasted.

What's the use of all the money he has when he can cook for himself? Samantha wondered.

" He doesn't trust anyone to cook for him, he prefers to do it himself. " Leon answered her, closing the wooden mahogany door carefully.

" Oh, l see." Leon and Sam walked to the dining hall, the food was ready. Alexander peeked her through his thick eyelashes, to make sure she was doing fine.

Alexander didn't say a word to them, he served dinner for himself and served Sam, as usual, he let Leon serve himself.

They ate dinner in silence, everyone concentrated on his/her plate. The only noise heard inside the dining hall was from the knives and forks kissing the plates.

Sam kept glancing at Alexander's plate from time to time, she realised he wasn't eating the vegetables that much.

" Does he know vegetables are more healthy than stake?" Sam wondered, shrugging her shoulders slightly.

Leon hugged Samantha goodnight when dinner was over, Alex and Leon walked out of the mansion to talk about something private, while Sam ascended the grand staircase lazily.

She walked inside the bathroom to take a warm bath, she didn't want to waste any time because she felt exhausted. She might end up sleeping without taking a bath.

She filled the jacuzzi bathtub with warm water, she slid inside the tub, closing her eyes slightly. The warm water was soothing on her flawless skin. She stepped out of the tub when water started to turn cold.

Sam wrapped a towel around her small curves and walked back to the room, she dried her hair and slid into Alexander's pajamas, although she bought her clothes, she feels more comfortable wearing Alex's clothes.

She lay on the king-sized comfortable bed and covered herself with warm blankets. She has to get enough rest since she's starting her training tomorrow. Her stomach swirls whenever she gives it a thought because she doesn't know what's awaiting her.

She closed her eyes slightly, she felt empty deep inside. She misses her friends and family so much.

" l hope you're doing fine." She mumbled, Sam recalled their happy moments back in the university and that made her miss Edward and Diana even more.

" See you soon Diana and Edward, I'll explain everything to you soon." She heaved a sigh and drifted into a deep slumber.

Alexander opened the wooden mahogany door carefully, he didn't want to wake the sleeping beauty. He glared down at her, she was sleeping soundly and peacefully as if there's nothing to worry about in this universe.

Alexander heaved a sigh, for the first time in his life, he felt compassion for the naive girl. He felt bad for dragging her into his world, it's full of blood and threats.

Sam's silky hair was scattered on the white pillowcase, Alexander leaned slightly, placing her head in a more comfortable posture.

He brushed hair strands from her angelic face, tucking it behind her ear carefully. Sam tossed and held his hand tightly, her eyes were still closed.

" Please don't leave me, I'm scared of vampires and dragons. " She held on to his hand firmly, not letting it go. Her breaths were uneven.Alexander knotted his eyebrows,

" I'm afraid of Vampires and dragons." Those words echoed in his head over and over again, his eyes glowered faintly, his fangs elongated but he brushed them using his think tongue.

He caressed her hand soothingly, Sam relaxed instantly a smile creeping on her lips. She let go of his hand and tossed on the bed once again, Alexander covered her with warm sheets.

He sauntered to the door to twist the doorknob but halted halfway, he turned his head to glare at her for one last time before twisting the doorknob.

He leaned on the wooden mahogany door, closing his eyes slightly. He exhaled deeply, running his hands through his jet-black hair.

Those words kept on flashing in his mind again and again.

" I'm afraid of Vampires and dragons." Those words crushed his heart into a million pieces, it hit him more mercilessly than before.

He was okay with everything that happened to him when he was a young boy because it gave him a chance to live longer, he didn't care if the vaccine turned him into something strange.

He was thankful because the heavens had granted his wish, he wished he could live longer, he didn't want to die young.

Alexander shook his head, burying those thoughts at the back of his mind. He doesn't want to think about it anymore, Alexander's heart twisted inside his heart when Sam uttered those words.

Alex walked inside the guest room and slammed on the leather couch lazily, although he hates sleeping so much. He decided to take a nap, to escape from reality because he couldn't take it anymore.

He felt like disappearing from this ruthless universe.

" Why me? why did l turn into....." He paused suddenly, taking a few deep breaths to calm his nerves down.

He jumped through the window, landing on the Bermuda grass safely, he needed to calm his nerves down.

Sam was woken up by Alexander early in the morning, she yawned lazily, stretching her muscles.

" let me sleep a little longer." She turned on the bed, facing the other side.

" You have to wake up, Samantha. it's time for your training. " Alexander reminded her politely, " Uhm....oh no." Samantha pulled the blankets on her head, covering her body fully.

" What the hell is wrong with you hardheaded girl?" Alexander raked his jet-black hair roughly.

Alexander picked her up from the bed, he grabbed his knitted sweater and Sam's fluffy sandals. He sauntered out of the room, carrying her in his arms, she was still wrapped in the blankets.

Sam tried fighting him but the blankets were wrapped tightly around her, she couldn't move her legs and hands freely.

" You didn't have to do that Alexander, l was about to wake up." She grumbled when her foot touched the ground outside the mansion.

Leonard knotted his eyes when his eyes landed on Sam wrapped in the blankets.

" What's happening here? did l miss something sweet?" Leon winked at Samantha who was glancing at Alexander with grave eyes.

" Ask your crazy friend." Sam snapped at Leonard angry, she brushed the blankets from her body, gritting her teeth. She wonders if Alexander is related to the devil in any way.

" What did you do this time man? did you..." Leon bit his lower lip, he didn't want to utter more words. Alexander glared at him with cold eyes.

" She didn't want to wake up, l had no choice but to carry her in the blankets. l didn't want to scare her by carrying the bed."

Alexander let out a throaty chuckle and walked away, Leon shook his head in disbelief.

" Is this man in his right mind ?" Leon wondered.

Samantha slid into Alex's knitted sweater and sandals, the butler picked the blankets from the floor and took them to the laundry.

Samantha and Leon walked to the building which was made of glass walls, Alexander was already doing his daily routine exercise.

Samantha flickered her eyelashes softly when her eyes landed on his perfectly masculine body, Alexander wasn't wearing anything on the upper part of his body.

Sam never knew he has such a perfect body, his abs were well defined. His eyes travelled from his chest to the V-line on his slim waist.

" Wake up snow-white, l have a perfect body too." Leon clicked his fingers before her face, waking her from the trance. Samantha rolled her eyes at Leon while Alexander chuckled lightly.

" We'll start by jogging, it helps to prepare the body for exercise," Leon informed her politely, Samantha took a few deep breaths. She isn't used to this kind of life, waking up this early to exercise? Ugh....she felt like passing out.

" You have to remove the sweater, you can't exercise in that." Alexander stretched his shoulders.

Samantha heaved a sigh before removing the sweater without uttering any word, they began jogging but she got tired after a few minutes, she leaned forward slightly, resting her hands on her knees.

" Can we rest for a minute please?" She panted heavily, " it has only been five minutes Samantha, don't tell me you're already tired."
