Chapter Six

"Excuse me, may I use your bathroom?"

"Sure once you walk through the doors, go down the hall and on the right is the bathroom."

I quickly stood up from my seat and headed for the bathroom. The moment I shut the door behind me, I bent over the toilet and started vomiting. My insides felt as if they were on fire. I stayed bent over the toilet for what seemed like hours were only a measly couple of minutes. After the vomit stopped my back against the wall. It felt comforting. I heard a knock on the door.

"Anastasia are you ok?"

It was Amanda checking up on me. After all, I was gone for a while. She probably thinks I am bulimic or binging. Shit, I don't know.

"Anastasia?"

"Amanda I am fine, just a little dizzy that is all."

I hear another voice now. It's Drake. There were talking about me. He convinced her to go back to Edward and that he will stay right here.

"Ana open the door."

Without hesitation, I unlocked and cracked open the door. I sat back on the floor and leaned against the wall. Drake sat beside me and laid my head in his lap.

"Well don't we find ourselves in an awkward situation?" He softly runs his hands through my hair.

"Yes. Indeed. Why is this so easy for you? I have been a vampire for almost two centuries and I still feel like a newly turned vamp."

"I never said this was easily Anastasia. I just learned to endure the pain. Come on let's get out here before they come back."

We get up and find our way back to Edgar and Amanda. They still sitting at the gazebo. Edgar jumps up with relief and Amanda follows.

"Is everything ok?" Edgar asked looking at me.

I nodded.

"I think it's time for Ana and I say our farewell. The lunch was lovely and I hope we can do this again."

"Drake what about our conversation earlier?" Edgar asked as Drake was turning his back to the exit.

"Edgar this is a wonderful investment, but I need time to go over this. I will get to you with my answer."

Drake grabbed my hand and headed back to the car. I slept the whole ride to Drake's home. When I awoke, I found myself in his bed. I looked over to the clock to see that it was eleven o'clock pm. I have been sleeping for five hours. I get up and walk over to the bathroom sink. Splashing water on my face to wake me up fully and brush my teeth. I feel so much better. Looks like Drake is gone again. He never sleeps, always busy. This man cannot escape my mind. If he was not crazy, I think I could love him. Ha, I must be crazy for even thinking that. I grab my shoes on the side of the bed and slip them on. While leaving Drake's home, I am stopped but his new maid.

"Ms. I ask that you stay. The master shall be home soon."

"I don't know your name, but I refuse to stay. I am tired of being captive in this place."

"Well at least let me get the driver."

"No I am good, I called a uber." I shut the door behind her and left to get in the car. The man's car reeked of cigarettes. At this moment I just need to getaway.

"You can drop me off here."

I get out and began walking down the street. Still thinking about Dragan, I was not paying attention until someone ran dead straight into me. Knock down to the ground, anger fumigated from me. I looked up to find this gorgeous man staring at me holding his hand out. He has the most beautiful hazel eyes.
