"You should leave me alone and go there." Dina breathes heavily as she rests on the couch. They played too much and now they take a break looking at the landscape before their eyes.
"…. Like hell! "Angelo growls back. His frown and mysterious dark eyes don't dare to look at her.
Dina looks at him and sighs. She understands the motivation behind it. He just wants to protect her but, Angelo has to listen to his father.
"Let's say that a vampire comes after me while you guys are away …. If he bites me, I will transform into a vampire so I will not die, right?" Her words make him turn his head towards the girl.
In his mind, there is a battle. In the first place, it was his fault for giving her blood, now, why is he regretting his decisions? And if she becomes a vampire after being bitten, which was his original plan, why is he worrying about how will she feel after she becomes the object of her hate?
Angelo frowns again.' If only I would stop running away …. from ..my feelings.' Out of fear of losing her, he decided to give her blood. So, why is he running away now that she is no longer human? Why is he so stubborn about accepting his feelings?
"Hey! "Dina snaps her fingers before his face and he flinches. Angelo was caught in his thoughts ….
The girl is next to him sitting on her knees on the couch. Her body is close to him and he observes her.
Dina's hair is tangled from the way they play. Angelo grins subtly. Her black eyes are as dark as ever, giving him the chills. As the boy lays his eyes on her lips …..he bites his, as if to stop himself from wanting to kiss her.
Dina's eyes follow his green eyes. She wonders why … why is she feeling no hate towards him ...why is she feeling her heart beat faster the more Angelo looks at her?
Her feelings are obvious to herself like clear water. The girl falls for his stupidness …her giggle fills the room.
"What?" Angelo doesn't get why was is suddenly laughing.
"Should I tell you? "Between giggles, she looks at him with love. Maybe she has to crack his shell little by little …
Angelo feels that something is off with the girl but maybe he is mistaken. Her smile is more natural and brighter…also her eyes are sparkling. 'What is it ?....'
"Tell me …" His words leave his lips in a rush as he wants to know why was she having this weird but pleasant behavior.
She stops from giggling and touches his face. "I realized how much I hate you …you know …my heart beats with anger." Her low tone doesn't match her confession at all. Her crooked smile and loving eyes denote the opposite of what she says.
Angelo blushes. "She …is indeed …braver than me …" A feeling of defeat is pushing Angelo to take action showing that he can return the favor …' I now know …how she feels about me …' As if someone is pouring a little courage in his heart that's what the thought that she loves him does to him.
"I ..hate you too…a lot actually …very much …" His hands grab her face and their lips seal in a pressed kiss.
As both of them know in their heart what they meant …. their hearts beat in sync. Even if they are not brave enough to confess their true feelings, they manage to do it less fearlessly. All that mattered in the end was that both got the assurance they needed.
The kiss breaks and both let their heads down avoiding the gaze of the other one. A foolish way of avoiding their previous action.
Angelo's phone rings.
Dina leans on the couch looking out the window at the mansion. The boy answers the call and Ralph's voice is heard.
"Where are you? "The father is frowning on the opposite line as he beats the ground with his feet.
"We will come home now. Everything is fine, don't worry." Angelo's voice fills her mind.
'Is it everything fine …?.... Will we be …fine ?.. Will they be fine ?.... Fine…. such a fucked up word …' Her mind wanders as she keeps her face slightly cold.
"We are waiting for you. Hurry up!" Ralph ends the call.
Angelo is closing his phone and glances at Dina. The girl seemed to meditate looking at the distant land. He taps her shoulder and she looks at him with cold eyes.
"We need to go …I will try to stay home with you. Maybe my father will reconsider …" He looks warmly at the girl.
'She knows I love her so she will be done opposing …' His thoughts are wavering when the eyes of the girl remain cold as the ice.
"You will not do anything unnecessary. As I said, I hate you. Is better if you leave and don't look back." The girl frowns.
'Maybe I made a mistake telling him that I love him …..He will get weak because of me …. not good …I got caught in his fucking cuteness ....SCREW ME! 'Her thoughts are making her act as cold as possible.
"But …I thought …" Angelo frowns and wants to ask why is she refusing his protection as she knows that he loves her too. He stops….
"Sigh …. Just forget it …." Dina rises from the couch and stands in front of him.
The boy wants to push her down and kiss her and scream that he loves her, as the anger rises. He grits his teeth and grabs her hand.
"Indeed, I should act like I normally do. "Without restraining he grabs her waist and drags her closer.
The girl is letting herself be handled by him and doesn't say anything. Just a frown and empty eyes are seen.
His hand goes behind her neck as he pulls her head closer. Angelo kisses her lips wildly but no response. He bit her lips and licked the blood that dropped on her chin.
Dina just flinches as her lip aches. She accepts the consequences of her actions.
"Is this how you want me to act?" His voice sounds angry and his eyes glare at her.
"...Never told you to act in a way …" Her voice is peaceful. The girl looks him in the eye and sees what she is afraid of the most. Red eyes …..
Her body freezes but her heart feels peaceful for some reason. She doesn't feel as scared as before …the boy will never hurt her ..and …even if he did …she will probably accept it.
Angelo tightens his grip on her waist and as his red eyes reflect on hers, he says, "You will pay for playing with me. "
Dina takes the knife from his pocket and keeps it at her chest." Take it. We need to go home …" She sifts her eyes while he takes the knife.
"You damned women …." Angelo mumbles as the knife cuts his wrist.
The blood engulfs them and says, "//Where to, young master? //"
"To the mansion." His voice is the only thing Dina hears in the complete darkness. His grip lessens and their bodies don't touch at all. She feels cold and knows that the boy will act differently from today onwards.
Angelo lets go of Dina and as the madness vanishes he realizes what he did. He almost bit her …. the thought gets to the root of his fears …. Was he about to hurt her?... He did transform into a vampire .....Angelo sighs in relief knowing that he didn't do anything that he would have regretted now.
The bubble of blood vanishes and both are staying in the living room of the mansion. Ralph and Faris are dressed up in suits and they sit comfortably on the couch.
'What happened between them" Ralph catches on quickly that something felt wrong with the kids. Where is Dina screaming at Angelo and Angelo glaring at Dina?
The girl looks cold and a hint of sadness is covering her eyes while Angelo emanates anger and concern as he glances at the girl from time to time.
"Well good that you guys arrived! Dina, darling, we are living right now, so take care of yourself. Don't worry be will be back soon. "Faris stands and steps towards the girl who smiles a little and hugs her uncle in response.
"Hope you will come back safe and sound. "Dina says while looking at Faris and Ralph. She avoids looking at the boy.
"Then, off we go! "Ralph takes out his knife and continues, "I will see you on the other side. Go change in that suit, son." After he says this, the man cuts his wrist and he vanishes in the blood bubble.
After Faris hugs Dina one last time he leaves in the same style.
Angelo glances for the last time at the girl who stays like a stone. He heads to his room while his footsteps make an echo.
Dina sighs …" This way I will not drag him after me ….I should have been more careful....'
