Bernardo and i has been moving on smoothly after two good weeks of knowing each other.
We usually spoke on phone or rather chat or go on a facetime. I noticed i started growing feelings for him and from the way he usually responded to me, i noticed too he had grown feelings for me too.
Everything was going smoothly, just like i planned, maverick was one of my best buddies i really got bullied for.
Some girls around who had this thing for him apparently bullied me once on my way back from the cafeteria, so after that day i began giving him this cold vibes.
Bernardo on weekly basis visited me and whenever he was coming he'd come with loads of chocolates and candy for me to stock them up in my fridge.
Maryam and i were inside our room when my phone rang and it was Bernardo, so i picked up the call.
"Girlfriend, how are you doing?"
Did he just called me his girlfriend? No he must be kidding, tf we ain't dating at all.
"Are you there?" He asked
My bad, i was lost in thought that i literally forgot to respond.
"Uhmm, yeah, I'm good, what about you" i twirled my self up the bed over five times because i was super excited.
He always had this special way of doing some magic to me which i couldn't explain.
"I'm quite good, I'd be coming over to uvrani by 4pm. This time I'd be staying in your room because your campus girls possesses these bad attitude of gawking at handsome guys" we both laughed, his laughter was soothing my heart and soul.
"There's no problem if you say so, we would stay at my place." I smiled at the thought of us inside with Maryam, it'd be just so hell cool.
"Okay then, catcha up later, i love you" i guessed he was probably waiting for a reply but he got non so he hung the call.
That was the first time he used the word i love you, so i was so excited.
Immediately i got back from lectures, i arranged our room and set our table, he didn't talk about evening date but i thought it'll be cool so i placed an order for fresh pea and asparagus risotto. Because i didn't have the ingredients.
Maryam usually went to the gym house by 4pm, so i guess everything would fall in place.
I heard the honk of a car, parking right infront of our room, i peeped through the window to check who dropped by, and to my greatest surprise, it was Bernardo.
He came down with bags i was yet to discover the contents, so I ran outside and gave him a cool lovely hug as we walked our way to my room.
There was this uneven silence between the two of us the moment we got inside. Maybe we were waiting for who to break the silence up.
Before he handed me those bags with a bright beam.
"They are yours "
I stood swiftly to get the bag for him, i opened it, OMG, candy and chocolates, how did he know i love them so much.
"Jezz, Bernardo I'm so much grateful for this" i walked over to his seat and gave him a cool light hug.
Just in the delivery guy was at the door step so i had to receive our dish, i took them to the table i set even before Bernardo arrived.
I could see this lost-but-watch look, he was probably waiting for me to say a thing which I didn't, i only showed him the way to the table.
"Is this a date or something? Bernardo asked with a wild chuckle, his gaze fell on me, i blushed harder. It was an unofficial date, but how do I tell him?
"Thought we could try something different today, you know? Indoor something" i spoke eagerly.
"Something different? You should have told me, maybe I would have gotten a better restaurant for us, right?"
Damn, he was fucking serious. I shouldn't have thought about it, or perhaps told him earlier.
With no much talk, Bernardo accepted my petty date, haha.
It was literally the first time i stayed in a cool place with a guy, on a date, or just alone in the same room. I became curious and nervous too when the thought of some funny things creeped into my mind.
Bernardo focused on his food, he didn't lift an eye to check if i was eating and i actually loved that.
Atleast i was more comfortable that way, because whenever I'm being watched while eating it makes me do gross things and.... i don't know why but nevertheless, back to my story.
Just as i was about to munch into my food i heard Bernardo call my name. It sounded so cold, I've never been triggered this much before..... i could feel some cold breeze sweeping off my feet. I've literally not seen this part of Bernardo.
I raised my head immediately to look at the lover boy right in front of me. He wasn't the guy i met earlier....
Something fishy was going down, and i was more than confused.
"Is everything okay?" I asked him with so much courage as i ate some my risotto with my face bent over the food this time.
Mmm" was all he replied, he stood swiftly, i watched him..... and went towards the door.... i was still scared of his sudden strange behaviour....
"Are you leaving?" This time i stood from my seat and headed towards him, i held him from behind....
There was this strange heat emitting from his body which got me so fucking scared i wanted to scream "help!!!!!!!!!!"
I need air, some air, more air Lucille "please leave Lucille, i don't want to hurt you." Bernardo groaned....
I could see fear written all over him, i was frightened to the last, and i took to my pace.
Pov: Bernardo ( the male narrator now).
While munching on the risotto, my body reacted in a funny way, i was so tasty for blood, but Lucille's blood wasn't what i wanted.
I could devour her if i had wanted and plug out her heart but... she bought my soul already, she was probably the first girl i loved wholeheartedly.
Now, i stood as i held my hands on the window edges, i rested my neck ... i tried cooling my self down which i properly did.
I was in so much pain the moment I saw Lucille run... i didn't mean to scare her off....
She might probably get scared of me and won't want to do anything with me or she might probably block me from every social media handles.
"Two missed calls, shit, she ain't picking up, how do i clear up the mess"
I decided to make everything official today, i wanted her to know she meant more than just a friend to me but i fucked everything up with this obsession of drinking fresh blood.
