Afraid of Blood | COMPLETE ✔️

Chapter 11

1 week later

I've finally healed and I'm back to normal.
However I do have scars from the whip. They litter my back and
some of my arms. I feel very self conscious about them.
I've been wearing clothes so that no one sees them. Today I went with
a outfit that covers them too.
(outfit at the top).

I haven't seen Xavier for the past two days. He's been in the basement
with Victor. I don't even want to know what's going on down there.
That's a lie I kinda do but I know if I go down there that I will
regret it later. I wish he would come up from there.
I feel like he's avoiding me.

I wanted to tell him how I feel about him and that
I want to give him another chance but every time I look for
him he's no where to be found. Its getting frustrating.

I go downstairs to once again look for Xavier. I go to his office and knock
on the door but no answer. I turn to leave and go to the kitchen I heard a crash.
I turn back abruptly and open the door only to find a broken vase in the corner of the room. Xavier is behind his desk with his head in his hands. I can see splattered
blood on the ends of his dress shirt and across the middle. I walk to him and place my hand on his shoulder. His head jerks up and his glossy blue eyes met my brown ones.

"Xavier." I say softly.

I see a tear fall from his right eye as he pulls me to him. His arms
snake around my waist and he lays his head on my chest. I was surprised for a second but quickly put my hands to his hair and run my fingers through his hair.

"What happened?" I ask.

"I don't understand." He says more to himself than me.

"Understand What?"

"How he could do it. He had no reason he just wanted power and he was
willing to kill innocent people and make a boy an orphan
for his foolish wants. How can one person be so heartless?" He said.

"Some people are just cruel and heartless. Some have reasons.
Some it's almost like they were born that way. I don't know how anyone
could do such things and yet people seem to." I said.

He pulled back from me and looked down at his desk and said,

"Sorry. I don't know what came over me I just needed to hold you."

"It's fine. Xavier I need to tell you something."

"I understand if you wish to reject me I'll accept it if it will make you happy."

"No, I"

"It's okay really, just go."

"Xavier will you please shut up and let me speak!" I say loudly.

He looks to me surprised but nodded his head.

"Good, now as I was saying. I've had a lot of time to think about us this past week and I want to give us a another chance. However my trust doesn't run far for good reason this is a one time offer, no more chances. I believe that you have feelings for me and I understand if you don't feel the same but Xavier I think I love you and it's fine that you don't," my babbling was cut short when I was suddenly pulled into a kiss.

As our lips molded together sparks spread across my whole body.
I raised my arms and my fingers gripped the back of his head trying to pull him impossibly closer.his arm tight around my waist and one hand in my hair. The kiss lasted for what seemed like forever and a short time all at once until he pulled away from me. Resting his head against mine.

"I love you too." He breathed.

"What?" I asked surprised.

He smirked and said, "I love you."

A grin spread across my face. "You do?"

He nodded full on smiling now.

He leaned down and gave me lips a quick peck.

He looked to me slightly worried. "How long has it been since you fed."

My smile dropped and I looked down. "I don't know a few days......a week."

"Gidget, this is why I put some of my blood in the fridge for you, you have to remember to eat I can't lose you. I already almost did. I just got you back." He said

"I'm sorry, it's just I forget and I kept thinking about you and I couldn't find you."

"It's okay, but you need to eat."

He put his wrist up to my mouth. "Come on. Drink."

"But if you already have some in the fridge then I don't have to bite you."

"It's better for you if it's straight from the source so drink up."

"Okay."

I lowered my lips to his wrist and bit down letting the blood coat my throat.
I felt all my senses heighten I didn't know how weak I felt until then.
After awhile he pulled back and I released his wrist. I looked up at him and
licked my lips tasting the last of his blood.

"Don't do that." He said.

"Do what?" I said innocently while licking my lips again.

He growled and pulled me in for another heated kiss.
I pulled back looking up into his eyes as he smiled.
I smiled back and laid my head on his chest.
Then I thought of the blood on his shirt.

"Xavier?"

"Hmm?"

"Why is there so much blood on your shirt?"

He stiffened at the question. "Well, I was interrogating Victor and I may have got carried away. He won't be hurting anyone again."

"Good." I whispered.

"What?" He said completely flabbergasted.

"I said good." I said a little louder.

He nodded his head. I pulled away from him and went to the door.

"Where are you going?" He said panicked.

"I want to go to the garden. Coming?" I asked holding my hand out for him.

He nodded and took my hand as we went to the garden.
I have a good feeling about us this time I think it might work.
