Fortunately, the process of Lisa returning back to her body wasn't as horrific as she expected and instead it was quite simple.
"All you need to do is to lay down in the exact position as your body is." Celestial explained and Lisa nodded before approaching her body that lay on the bed peacefully.
She looked so calm.
Not wanting to waste anymore time, she lay down on her body and her soul seemed to have dissolve before she gasp and her eyes fluttered open.
"How do you feel Lisa?" Celestial questioned, her eyes taking a quick look over Lisa's facial expression.
"I feel-" Lisa started but knitted her brows when she felt a sharp pain pass through her chest but it left as soon as it came.
"I feel alright except that my chest feels a little stuffy." Lisa confessed and the tension which she failed to notice before grew in folds making her even more confused.
She turned to Lucas to see him seating on the couch with his head low and he didn't say anything.
Not a single word since they got here.
What in the hell was going on?.
"Leave us." He finally spoke and Carmillia and celestial gave Lisa tight smiles before walking out with the others and closing the door.
After they left, no one spoke. Neither her nor Lucas made an attempt to talk and her eyes stung at this realisation.
"Did I do something Lucas?" Her voice cracked as she balled her fists. She didn't get why he was like this! She didn't get why everyone else was also like this! What could have possibly happened while she was away?.
Lucas shook his head, his mouth opening before he closed it back. She couldn't see his face because his hair blocked her view but she knew something was terribly wrong.
"We are not meant to keep secrets from each other you know." She said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Finally, he lifted his head and a shocking gasp escaped from Lisa's lips.
He was sad. If she didn't know better she would have thought that he was mourning for somebody. That little light that always used to shine in his eyes was gone and it was now replaced by an emotion she had never seen him wear.
Defeat.
She stood up quickly and went to him, kneeling at his front.
"Look at me Lucas." She cupped his cheeks in her hand, forcing him to look at her and she stared into his sad glassy blue eyes.
"Tell me what's wrong." She asked, her index finger caressing his smooth face lovingly.
"I don't want to lose you." He whispered, each word he said tugged a string in her heart.
Why was he saying that? Was something going to happen to her?.
"Something is going to happen to me right?" She breathed and smiled. The smile looking more painful than she had intended.
He didn't answer. He looked to sad to do so and that alone answered her question. She felt her heart squeeze. She didn't have enough time on this world with Lucas and she wasn't going to waste it. She was going to enjoy every single minute she had with him.
"And so what? I-if anything is going to happen then let it be! As long as it does not happen now then we shouldn't care about it. You said it yourself, you said that you won't let death do us apart!." Emotion spilt over her words like milk, and Lucas seemed slightly surprised.
"You have no idea what is happening to you yet you speak like this." He frowned but his expression didn't faze Lisa.
"If I die then so be it." She responded back and Lucas placed a single finger on her lips.
"Don't ever say that again do you understand?" Warned lucas seriously and Lisa nodded obediently"I won't let you die, as long as I'm alive you'll be just fine okay?" He coaxed and removed his finger, letting it slide down her lips and she closed her eyes.
Surprising him, she hanged her arms around his neck, giving him a tight hug"I don't like you being sad Lucas, please." Her hot breath fanned his neck and he blinked his eyes before chuckling.
"What will I do with you?" He asked and wrapped his arms around her small waist.
"How about just letting me hold you?. I missed you so much." Lisa suggested and Lucas smiled, though she couldn't see it, she knew he was smiling.
"I missed you more little deer."
They stayed in each others embrace, enjoying the sweet quiet moment for a while before they pulled back and sat beside each other.
They stared at each other, their eyes not straying for even a single second before Lisa looked away and her face grew hot.
She felt like slapping herself, she couldn't believe what she just thought of. Whilst she was looking at Lucas's face, her eyes landed on his lips and their last experience replayed in her mind.
Her moans.
His groans.
His sweet words.
Ahhhh! He was really going to be the death of her!.
"What is it you are thinking of little deer?." She heard Lucas's alluring voice ask behind her and her face burned even more.
"N-nothing."
"I remember someone saying we are not meant to keep secrets from each other." He reminded and the mistake she made was looking back at him because his eyes had returned back to the normal way and she didn't think she could look away.
"Let's make the most out of our time, what do you think?" His voice had become dangerously low as he inched towards Lisa and she gulped.
"I don't think we should do that Lucas." She tried to scoot backwards but Lucas's hands had somehow found her waist and pulled her towards him.
"Just one kiss. I promise." He leaned in, waiting for her response as his eyes raked over her lips a million times.
Lisa felt cornered, with the way Lucas looked at her, she didn't think it would end with just a kiss. Nevertheless, she herself wanted it. She wanted to taste his lips just once.
It won't hurt to do so would it?
"Fine." She bobbed her head as her face turned to a dark shade of red.
His fingers pushed a heap of her hair covering her neck behind and they traced the line of her collar bone slowly.
"Isn't it odd that I've never tasted your blood?." He pressed his lips on her neck and she hummed, pleasure seeming to dance in her veins. He placed another kiss there before pulling back and crashing his lips on hers.
Even though this was not the first time they had kissed, each time their kiss seemed to be becoming more and more adventurous.
He pulled her head closer, his mouth devouring hers longingly, she wimpered when she felt him bite her lip before he licked it back.
"Damn it..why is your blood so fucking sweet?." He growled.
