Loved By a Vampire King

RECOMMENDED SONG:

            In the name of Love By Martin Garrix FT Bebe Rexha ~?

Her eyes searched for his answer but he was silent all the time without taking his eyes off from her. Her thoughts weren't completely clear but she could feel that he had been put in difficult situation with her question.

Did he assume that she would be broken by his answer?

Jessie's subconscious mind told her and she laughed at herself with mockery. Broken? She was broken so many times that there was nothing to break anymore. Her mother abandoned them, her father left them alone to grow up and her brother was full of himself that he only believed in growing his power and reputation.

She waved her hand lazily and chuckled struggling to sit back properly,

" Forget..it..you.. don't.. want to... make..me sad..I know.."

Shanz merely swallowed hard without answering to her questions. He played so well that it was too hard to forget at the end. His lips parted finally and with a deep emotional voice, he murmured lowly,

" My answer won't change anything, Jess."

Jessie blinked her eyes up confusingly to read through his meaning but he looked blank too hard to predict. Before she had the ability of thinking too much, a wave of nauseous shot through her veins. Leaning her body forward awkwardly, she vomited right on his body unexpectedly. Everything happened so fast that Shanz couldn't even back away. She fell back on the bed after vomiting.

On the other side, Shanz was too stunned to do something. His eyes slightly narrowed as he looked down on himself in disgust. Jessie opened her eyes groggily and giggled like a little girl who just pulled a trick when she saw his stained suit.

Shanz who was going to be angered looked down at her surprisingly. It was the first time that he saw her smiling so genuinely like the girl that he met in the past. Her smile was so pure that it was hard to take off his eyes. His expression melted like the spring water and he smiled back softly.

Jessie was laughing too hard without tearing her eyes. He knew that it was the effect of her alcohol but at least she was laughing for him. Her words came out incoherently,

" Yeew!! Prince.. Shanz..is..smelly.."

Shanz began to undo his button one by one. When he heard her joking, he replied in a soft voice which no one ever heard from him,

" If this makes you smile, I am glad to be smelly."

His words only made her laughing hard. She was too away to see through the reality. After laughing in her half conscious state, her attention averted on his cloth which was he taking off slowly. He wanted to use the washroom but he couldn't dare to leave her alone. This resthouse wasn't safe for women. With her state, she could undoubtedly attract a lot of perverted men around.

Jessie muttered, visibly tensed by the look on his eyes,

" What.. what are..you doing?"

Her eyes battled to keep open wide when she saw him undressing. Shanz gave her a small smile but followed by a heart wrenching feeling when he thought that she was afraid to be around him. She didn't trust him any longer and it was the most painful feeling in the world. Perhaps her hatred would have hurt him less but the look of distrust in her eyes killed him.

Shanz assured pausing between his tasks to respond to her,

" I am not going to ask you to have sex with me,Jess... not in this situation at least."

Jessie blinked before leaning back to hold her burning head. Everything was tumbling around her. Her thoughts were so corrupted that she assumed Shanz undressing right in front of her. It was all her drunkard feelings which led her to think that everything was just another illusion.

After he removed his stained clothes, he pondered before asking her softly,

" Can I.. sleep by.. your side?"

Jessie blinked her eyes groggily. Her words couldn't even come out first when Shanz added in a promising voice,

" I wouldn't do anything except staring at you, I promise."

Jessie pouted childishly and replied groggily,

" Okay but no touching.."

Shanz smiled at her softly and laid flat by her side. Now they were lying beside each others, there were few inches apart between them. They were in the center of bed and a painted ceiling were welcoming their sight.

Alcohol had the strange effect of someone's emotional being. Sometimes it uncovered someone's deepest secret that you never wanted to share before. Jessie wasn't any exceptional.

" I wasn't good in these years.", she replied groggily and turned on the other side to face Shanz dizzily.

" Why?", Shanz shot back surprisingly. Jessie wasn't a woman who would share her pain so openly. But he wished to hear her true feelings. Did she miss him for once at least?

Jessie mumbled trying to close her eyes but her headache kicked her conscious hard,

" It's hard to pretend, Shanz..but.."

She paused abruptly to earn a questioning glare from Shanz. He wanted to hear from her mouth that she missed him once in a while.

Jessie blurted twitching her lips in mockery,

" But you played.. with.. me.."

Shanz squeezed his feelings hardly. His lips trembled before whispering to her lowly,

" I thought so."

Jessie hummed groaning a little painfully. Her eyes barely opened to look into his eyes to hear him say something lowly,

" But I think, I have played with my own heart."

Jessie's expression stiffened and she opened and closed her mouth to speak something. But it was getting too difficult to stay awake. Shanz extended his hands to take her hands but stopped midway when he spotted in her ring.

His breathing stopped for a moment. He asked even though he understood that she was falling asleep,

" Jessie...This ring... "
