They pulled into the drive and Levi unpacked everything for the girls it had started to rain gently and was going to pick up soon Fortunately dinner was done already and they could easily retire to bed after Levi was wet and a little cold after taking everything inside. He pushed his wet hair back and took off his soaked checkered shirt looking at the side that was starting to hurt less now. He inhaled deeply sighing before walking to the kitchen.
"I apologize my shirt was soaked and I didn't want to track water through the house." He quickly apologized when the two women started stairing at him.
"That's okay Levi you don't need it." Mrs. Cartwright said as her husband shot her a look.
"Here Levi sit beside me Iade you a plate." Vesper quickly said seeing what her parents were trying to do instantly.
"So Vesper do you plan in having any kids sweetie?" Her mom asked sitting at the table now.
"Not yet."
"Honey that's rude to ask she's not even married yet."
"I know it's just grandkids is exciting!" She said as Levi bit down into his food getting that bitter taste like earlier this morning as his stomach heaved he felt like throwing up.
He chocked down the bite of food with an extremely concerned expression as he stood.
"May I be excused?" He asked starting to walk off.
Vesper stared at her mother now fuming.
"You scared him off thanks mom." She bit down frustrated into her food now.
"I'm sorry sweetie..." She stated watching him go upstairs.
Meanwhile.
Levi hugged the toilet vomiting what little food was in his stomach up feeling his gut acne he felt so hungry. He staggered standing up as he started a hot shower.
"Damn. what's wrong with me."
The reply that came next from the mirror is what startled him.
"Your Hungry, it's only natural considering your apart of me."
"What The hell." He groaned as he staggered to the mirror. You again I swear I will draw another " He raised a shaking hand to draw the banishment mark but his hands were swaying to much.
"Your getting weaker if you don't set you will kill us both."
"I'm fine with that." He muttered eyes a slight hue if red now.
" You would leave her alone with those monsters downstairs, poor Vesper. "
"Shut up. Leave her out of this. "
"Hmmm. We will see how strong you really are." The demon in the window vanished as Levi stepped in the hot shower as he suddenly felt daggers in his gut he hugged his abdomen shrinking into the corner of the shower withering in pain.
At the dinner table.
Vesper Had finished her plate and was cleaning it as she collected Levi's she noticed he only really ate a few bites of ice cream today. Hopefully he was okay if he wasn't feeling well he should tell her.
She moved his food into the trash and found some ice cream she put a little in a bowel and walked upstairs to their room. Hearing the shower running she figured it was to relax himself as she set the ice cream on the night table and decided to try on her new nightwear again to send a photo to flower for her opinion she loved flowers opinion it made her feel beautiful. She took a few photos but stopped when she heard a noise in the bathroom and the water stopped. Vesper quickly sent the photos and grabbed her dress pulling it over the attire it was a thin short dress but it covered her. She heard another noise as he stepped out shaking wrapped in only a towel still soaked his hair dripping he was shaking. she quickly brought over a stool forcing him to sit down.
"Levi your not feeling well just let me help." She said getting another towel and coming back over to where he sat and gently drying his hair.
"Vesper..." He said quietly his hair over his eyes.
He sounded weak to her like his energy was gone.
"Yes levi?"
"Thank you." He said softly as he let her take over for him.
"About time you let me help you are so stubborn." she said as she bounced over to find him some shorts or pants to where.
His eyes fell looking over at her. she looked comfortable as she leaned over his eyes dilated as he saw the lacy nightmare before he quickly looked away. His thoughts a mess now. "Vesper."
"Shush Levi I got this." She said as she came back with a pair of black shorts he packed.
"Here can you dress?"
He made to take the shorts but his grip failed as the shirts fell to the floor he grasped her waist to steady himself the room was spinning he was dizzy and Vesper smelled so sweet it was messing with his nose.
She turned three shades of red when his grip firmly held him.
"Levi your holding me a little tight. " She said in barely a whisper.
"Help me." He said softly.
So Vesper leaned over where his shorts were dangerously close to his towel as she helped guide him into stepping in them. Once she got so far she stopped.
"Your gonna have to do the rest can you?" She asked bright red heart racing she was nervous for just helping him dress.
He nodded and she turned around Levi stood towel falling as he tugged his shorts up he felt dizzy he grasped her shoulder. "Take me to bed." He said needing her to guide him so she nodded and took Levi's hand walking him to the bed. "Here she said folding the blankets back and helping him sit. His hands settled on her waist and he leaned forward his head on her shoulder gently hugging her. "Thank you. " He muttered.
"Vesper was red but after the thank you she relaxed placing a gentle hand in his hair petting him.
"Your welcome Levi I'm here if you need me."
Levi nestled against he neck she smelt sweet like ice cream and she was so soft and fragile he could snap her in his hands. He didn't understand why but he wanted to taste her he opened his mouth and gently licked her neck. Her skin was like warm salted Carmel..... The sudden shove after shook his thoughts.
"No. " Vesper stated suddenly.
He was confused. she suddenly shoved a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth. it was cold creamy and good jolting his senses.
"You ever fall asleep thinking of ice cream again I will punch you next time." She stated boldly for such a small girl.
He collected the spoon and started to eat the ice cream. He wanted to protest that he was awake but then thought about what he had done and bit his tounge. Maybe he would just have to live off sweets now.
Vesper quickly walked to her side of the bed hiding her red face. She hoped in bed and quickly tried to sleep without bothering to change.
Levi finished his dessert then laid down facing the window quietly watching the trees sway in the rain as night rolled along.
