Chapter 17
1 week later.
He was dead.
Emily and Tyler had killed Lucifer.
I asked how they did it, and they only replied with,the moon goddess. I didn’t want to anymore. I didn’t want to know anything about him
I was perfectly fine. Emily did something to me, making me feel amazing, more healthy.
And Vincent? He was sweet. Always making sure he didn’t hurt me, if he touched me. But he was a little too serious.
“Bella, I think, we should go inside now” he turned me around slowly, and held my hand.
“Vincent, why?”
“Because” I nodded.
I walked inside with him, and upstairs to our room.
Layla has been more quiet nowadays. She’s always lost in her thoughts. I tried to ask her, but she kept changing the subject.
“Bella, lay down” Vincent said.
It was 11 at night. Vincent and I went for a walk because I was bored, of sitting inside.
“Vincent, what’s wrong?” he shook his head.
“Nothing” I nodded laying down.
He took his shirt off, and his jeans,then laid down on the bed.
I laid closer to him, and he wrapped an arm around me.
“I find it hard to control myself, around you, Bella” Me too.
“Why is that?” I smirked
“Because you wear all these tight clothes. Like those jeans you were wearing yesterday. You bent down to pick up the clothes from the floor, and I wanted to take you right there. You ass was on fire Bella.” I rolled my eyes.
“Then why didn’t you?” He froze, looking down at me.
“So you’re ready?”
“I’ve been ready ever since I came back, Vincent. I just thought you didn’t want to have sex with me” he groaned.
“Fuck me” he sat up properly.
“What’s wron-” he hoovered over me.
“Are you ready now?” He pressed his body against mine. I could feel his bluge against my leg.
“Yes” I pulled my shirt up,leaving me in my bra and panties. Everyone was asleep, so I was only in one of Vincent’s shirts.
“Fuck” he whispered staring at me.
“Oh” my marks.
“No Bella. You look so beautiful, I don’t know where to start. I just want you to enjoy it. I’ll be slow” he was weird.
“Slow? I don’t really like it slow, Vincent” he chuckled, leaning down, next to my ear.
“I’ll be hard and fast” I nodded pulling his face closer to mine.
“You promise?” I smirked
“I promise” he crashed his lips on mine.
■■■■■■
“Morning” Layla walked into the kitchen, smiling brightly. I think she’s okay now.
“Morning Layla” I smiled, eating my apple.
“I can smell some love in the air...” she wiggled her eyebrows at me.
“Did you complete the mating?” I nodded and she squeaked.
“I’m going to be an aunt. You’re my sister so that makes me an aunt” she clapped her hands, sitting down opposite me.
“I’m not pregnant layla”
“You say that now. You see Hailey, when mates have sex, the woman becomes pregnant. It’s a way to increase the werewolf gene. It happens, whrn you have sex, unless you use a condom, or you’re on the pill”
“I’m not on a pill. Vincent didn’t use a condom. No one told me this? I don’t think I’m ready to become a mom. I can hardly look after myself” I exclaimed
“It’s okay. Vincent will be there with you” she smiled sadly.
“Layla, have you found your mate?” I asked changing the subject from me.
“I think he’s lost in the mail. Doesn’t matter anyway” she smiled her normal smile.
“Why? I thought mates were a big deal”
“They are. But I think I’m getting married ” Fuck
“What?” I shouted standing up.
“Same reaction I had” she mumbled to herself.
“What why? Who are you getting married to?” She shrugged.
“I don’t know”
“No way. You don’t know him. Tell me who’s making you do this Layla, I’ll have them all killed” I crossed my arms.
“My parents, I think?” She raised her eyebrow.
“Oh” I unfolded my arms, letting them drop to my side.
“Wh-” Vincent walked inside and towards me.
“Why were you shouting Bella? I was in the shower?” No wonder his hair is wet.
“Nothing Vincent. Just girl talk” Layla said and he nodded
“Layla, are you okay? You’ve been acting weird this whole week?” I wasn’t the only one who figured it out.
“I’m okay. You know how my parents are. Just getting me worried” he nodded
“Just forget them” he smirked, and walked out of the kitchen, after placing a kiss on my forehead.
“True” Layla muttered sitting back down.
“What happened?”
“My parents are always drunk. My parents both work, and they are so busy in working, that they forgot all about me. You never see them around the house right? That’s because they’re always working.” She sighed
“Auntie Mia, told mom, that she doesn’t need to work, but mom said she was bored at sitting home all the time and looking after me. Both my parents work. Uncle Tyler and auntie Mia, helped me with everything. When a girl has periods for the first time, and she has no sister or anyone to talk to, she goes to her mom. My mom? She was working. Auntie Mia helped me with everything. School, bra shopping, boys. Everything” she had tears rolling down her face.
“Now they’re in such a big debt, that they don’t want to money from uncle Tyler. He wants to help them, but no. My mom says no. She’ll rather give me away, then destroy her reputation” she chuckled wiping her face.
“Sorry for crying Hailey. It’s just I had to get it all out.” She stood up
“It’s okay Layla. You could have told m-” she shook her head
“I didn’t want to talk about it” I nodded as Mia walked into the room.
“Layla? What’s wrong?” She asked walking towards her
“Nothing, auntie Mia. I was cutting onions” she walked out of the room.
“I don’t see any onions.” Mia mumbled walking out after her.
“Her parents need a fucking lecture” I mumbled as someone wrapped their arms around me.
I looked up to see Vincent smiling down at me.
“Hi Bella” he smiled, placing a kiss on my cheek.
“Hey” I took a hold of his face, and pulled him down, kissing him, then letting him go.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so, worried?” He asked laying his chin on my shoulder.
“Nothing. Why didn’t you tell me that I have a possibility of getting pregnant?“he stood up
“You’re pregnant?” He asked smiling.
“No. I’m just saying why didn’t you tell me?” He nodded sitting down next to me on a stool.
“Sorry Bella. I forgot. Because you’re a human, I thought that you might not get pregnant” I nodded
“Oh. So I won’t get pregnant?” He shrugged
“I don’t know” I nodded
“Vincent, do you think we’re going really fast?” He was confused
“What?”
“I mean, it’s been a week, that I came back, and I-” he shook his head
“It’s not. I think that our relationship has been the slowest. I mean, not that I mind- okay I did. But I don’t now. Bella, most werewolf couples, would have already been married” I nodded
“I was thinking of going to go and get you a chocolate cake?” Vincent stood up.
“Oh. Okay. Shall I come with you?” He shook his head.
“I have to meet up with dad on the way, because of work. A guy wants to buy our business” I nodded
“Good luck” he kissed my forehead, and walked out of the room.
******
3 hours. 3 fucking hours waiting for a chocolate cake.
I bought one for myself, and ate it.
“And there this cute guy I saw in the subway. I did my famous giggle, and he looked at me, and smiled. A really cute smile. And then he asked if I had anything to do on Saturday? I said no! I have a date Hailey!” Layla exclaimed slapping my thigh to get my attention.
“I’m listening. You’re famous giggle?” I asked and she nodded
“I’ll show you” she sat up properly
What?
“You were alone, and you giggled?” She rolled her eyes
“Hailey, you’re so stupid. I was with Vincent. If I was alone, and giggling, that would made me look crazy. He would have thought there was something wrong with me” she shook her head at me.
“Vincent? Have you seen him?” She stood up quickly, slapping her head.
“I’m so stupid. So stupid, layla.” She whispered to herself.
“What’s wrong?” I stood up as the front door opened and Vincent walked in, glaring at Layla.
“I’m so sor-” he shook his head.
“I was waiting Layla. I told you to bring her” he sighed
“I was busy. She need to know about my date” Layla mumbled and Vincent chuckled, turning to me.
“Did she show you her famous giggle?” He asked shaking his head, laughing.
“Yes.” I smiled and he nodded, still laughing.
“It’s not funny. Daniel, liked it! He could be my future. Don’t laugh at him, Vincent. It’s not nice” she grumbled, crossing her arms.
“Bella, imagine she was alone! And she giggled! I would pay to watch that guy’s reaction” Vincent held my hand pulling me towards him.
“You guys are so mean. Especially you” she slapped Vincent on the head, and walked out of the room.
“Sorry” he shouted.
“Not buying it. I want chocolate donuts, when you both return. Now hurry up, Vincent. Your food might get cold” she smirked turning to us on the steps.
“Bitch” Vincent growled at her, sighing.
“Vincent!” I slapped him on the head.
“It’s okay Hailey. I know I’m a bitch. A first class bitch” She smirked at me, and walked upstairs.
“Sorry” Vincent shouted again.
“Come on Bella. She’s right” he mumbled to himself, and pulled me out of the room.
“No Vincent. You didn’t get me my cake. I bought one for myself.” I followed him to the forest.
“I know. Sorry about that Bella. I was busy-” I nodded
“Busy?” He sighed
“Sorry. But you’ll love this” I stopped walking and he turned around.
“Tell me” I crossed my arms
“Tell you what?” He rubbed the back of his neck, not looking at me.
“Vincent, don’t hide anything from me. Please” I whispered and he nodded
“Will you marry me?” He pulled out a ring from his pocket.
“I have this whole speech ready. Just wait” he pulled out a crumbled paper from his pocket.
“Bella, just wait okay.” He got down on his knee and started reading.
“I know I’m writing this down, and that you might find it sweet?” He looked up at me and I smiled, nodded
“Good. Because I want to make you happy. Always. I want you to be happy, always, Bella. And I want to be the reason behind it. I know we’ve had lots and lots of ups and downs, but we fight through it together. Me and you, together. Layla, made us a ship name, thing” he stood up, throwing the paper on the floor.
“Vailey. Will you make Vailey, possible, Bella? Will you marry me? Will you be with me every day? Will you kiss me every night, telling me you love me? Will you marry me Bella, and become Mrs Blake?” I hugged him tightly
“Of course” I mumbled and he spun me around.
“I love you Hailey”
“I love you too Vincent, now that food Layla was talking about. I’m starving.” I whispered, tightening my hands around him as he chuckled.
