"Pumpkin." Ariel stirred in her sleep as she heard Vincent's musky voice.
"Wake up my love." He whispered kissing her cheeks.
Groaning with anger and frustration Ariel's eyes finally opened to see Vincent's chin above her, he was without his fake skin and she could see both his tattoo and scar which made her gulp as she tried her possible best not to start salivating right there.
"What do you want?" She said mustering up a cold tone as she stood up from his laps sitting on the bed while looking left and right in wonder for where the children went.
"They went to school." Vincent stated noticing the questions in her eyes as he took her hands in his.
"And Sabrina and Xander is gone, they left last night, I asked the driver to take them home." He explained further hoping to get a reaction from her but instead she removed her hands from his looking away which made Vincent sigh in frustration.
