Vampire Diaries 37: I will, Always

I like seeing a man before me. Holding and caressing my hand with both excitement and fear.

Hoping that he can stay with me the entire night but I know, Jack will make a way to hinder us.

Drake lifts my hand and turns me around like we are dancing in rhythm.

"You look beautiful tonight, My Lady."

He said while looking intently into my eyes until his gaze stuck in my lips.

I said, "Emilia is here. Eating the meal for me, but I am tired of arguing with her."

Drake laughs silently as he touches his flat stomach. "It must be the reason why you are thin and looks like a stick."

"Stop laughing at me!"

"Laughing? Who's laughing?"

Suddenly, I become irritated and annoyed by his silent yet insulting laughter.

He throws himself to the soft bed and continues giggling.

"Leave me alone!"

"Hey! I am only fooling around and I want to make you smile, Thalia!"

Saying my name is a sign of seriousness.

But, I turn my back on Drake and rolls my eyes mimicking him.

"Thalia,"

"Thalia!"

Still, I didn't answer.

However, I am giggling secretly while fixing my hair.

Until I heard the bed creaking that urges me to stop.

"Why are you not answering?"

"Thalia!"

His voice becomes deepens as he clenches his teeth because of anger.

While putting one of the hair clips, a cold wind blows. Curtains are drifts by the howling wind.

Too late to realize, Drake, pull me and pins me to the wall.

He said, "Don't beguile me, lady."

"I am not," I reply sarcastically.

Drake breaths heavily. He coldly looks into my eyes and said, "You are!"

"I am not,"

"You are!"

"I am –"

"Thalia?"

For a moment, both of us stops when Emilia calls my name.

I put my finger on his lips to stop him from arguing with me. "Shh." I hush and glares at him angrily.

"Y–yes!"

"Are you done?" She asks me.

However, the truth is yes but I should convince Drake to leave before I go with Emilia.

I gulp and reply, "N–no! I... I am just fixing my hair but, do–don't worry, it won't take too long!"

While stuttering, I try to push him away but Drake walks closer to me and drag me to the bed.

To my surprise, I scream and hit his firm shoulder.

"Thalia? What happened?"

I almost forget the there is someone outside of the room. "No–nothing! I... I accidentally hit myself at the edge of the bed!"

Emilia burst into laughter as she thinks that I am telling her the truth.

She said, "You are a vampire, not a fool werewolf!"

"Leave me alone for a moment, Emilia! Your voice seems to be irritating to my ears!"

I said it to distract her. I need to make an alibi that will make her believe in me.

And so, lying is the best option to do it else, she will be going to capture us.

By then, I hear footsteps, away from the door.

Drake pulls me closer to him again until our lips meet.

He bites my lower lip as he squeezes my waist. "Don't you ever do it again if you don't want to see a beast?"

He's warning me.

It is will be good to hear if I'll say, Drake is threatening me.

"Leave my room now before anyone sees you!"

I try to pull him out of the bed but Drake is too heavy. He even holds the edge of the bed to stay in it.

"Don't provoke me, Thalia. I am telling you not to."

"For heaven's sake! Leave now and see me afterwards!"

I want to scream out loud but I know I need to control. Every word that I will say is in a minimal volume.

How can I convince a man who only sneers on me? "I want to know where Jack will bring you and I want to follow you."

"Stop with your absurdity! You are going to suffer when he sees you following him! Trust in me, Drake. And I'll never do a thing that will make you mad."

"Alright. It seems like I have no choice but to obey you." He replied.

I nod as I struggle to fix my hair the way I wanted it to be.

Until he smiles at me and gets the hairclip from the steel box.

"Let me do it for you, Thalia."

Drake stands behind me as we both look into our reflection. He bites the clip as he touches my hair gracefully.

"Your touch makes me fall asleep," I said, trying to fight the heaviness of my eyes. "Do you know how to make my hair beautiful? If not, I can call Emilia. The window is wide open and you are free to sneak out."

"But I want to stay with you!"

Drake bites his lower lip while staring on me. His beautiful emerald eyes seem to be an Anaconda's pupil.

Through his reflection, I smile secretly when he's done playing with my hair.

I am speechless and surprised as he knows how to deal with women's interest. "Wow! I... I didn't know that you are creative too!"

A genuine yet silent laughter makes him smile and close his eyes while showing his beautiful, perfect set of teeth.

There's no trace of fangs as the man behind him steps backwards and laughs by himself.

However, I need to hurry now before someone caught us especially Jack's followers.

"I'll see you tomorrow again, Mister," I said while smiling over my shoulder. "I need to leave now,"

"I know, but before you go through that door. Give me a moment to stare and dance with you." Drake said as he walks towards me, again.

While waiting for him from distant, my heart begins to beat so fast.

His presence and scent mesmerized me. It captivates my entire system that makes my knees weak and feels something odd inside of my chest!

I take heavy breaths as I said, "Leave or be punish by the King."

Threatening an ordinary vampire is the best way I can do. I know that Drake comes and grows from a simple yet happy family.

And I saw it in his eyes.

He halts before me, standing like a Prince of Alicesha. His long yet, good looking hair urges me to play with it.

Drake takes my cold hands and squeezes it gently.

"I will see you,"

"Wait patiently for me, Mister. I'll be quick and I'll make alibis to escape from Jack and our wedding."

"I will wait for you, Thalia. I will, always." He murmurs as his eyes turn cold and oblivious.
