Chapter 8: Chapter 8

- If the bruise is gone then it means it worked, it will be fine I'm happy, only I could not apologize yet I hope he gets better soon.

I get up and get ready, i leave my room and make a nice breakfast, turn on the TV and sit alone the couch.

- Are you ready? ( Yawn )

- yes, and hurry if not the coffee will cool.

- Today you're excited, what happened?

- I just had a good night's sleep, that's all.

- I'm glad to hear you've gotten used to it.

- It's me too I'm happy...

I look at my hand and give a slight smile.

- I'm going to get ready.

The door opens.

- You're already awake...

- So she took the contract?

- Yes.

- And how did you do it (I get ready in bed)

- I brought her through the book.

- That's pretty old... I bet that option will be rejected in a few years.

- Your wounds didn't heal, it was because of that creature, so her blood saved you and the contract too.

- Until pretending was a good escape, I don't know what I'd do if she didn't take it.

- Why did you want her to take it so badly? calm there... pretend? You pretended I'm not buying this, I should have left you with the injuries..

- Have you forgotten who I am? it would take half an hour to heal...

- I can't believe this... And why did you want her to accept the contract so badly? You've never cared as much about someone as you care about them.

- Nothing no, bring my clothes, I have to obey the contract ( Smile )

We arrived in the room and I noticed that the table where Gabriel was staying is empty, did something happen?

I take my handout and a little paper falls, I get down and catch eye behind him was the number he had given me on the first day... I take my cell phone and digit the numbers, before saving I remember Louis as if it were a warning.

Except for the number, the class takes place as normal as usual.

Hours later I sit on campus waiting for Sandra to come back... I'll make sure to call him.

The phone calls and then I hear a voice.

connection

- Hello?

- Are you okay? Why aren't you coming?

- There,are you worried about me?

- No, I just want to know.

- Come meet me later and we can talk.

- Just talk now, what's to stop you from doing that?

- Be nicer to me... and we're going out together

- Where? All right? See you later.

I turn off my phone and I see Sandra coming back.

- I brought you this drink, I hope you like it.

- Thanks, then I'll buy some things, then you can go first.

- No way last time I was worried, I'm going with you.

- No need, it will be fast and another is in the day, there is a lot of movement nothing will happen.

- I'm going to trust you.

later...

I go to a coffee shop and I see Gabriel sitting enjoying his drink and looking out the window.

I'm getting close to it.

- Did I take too long?

- Of course not

He gets up and pulls the chair at me, and I sit down and he sits again.

- You look very beautiful.

- Thank you, but tell me why you didn't go to class these days? You're suddenly gone.

- What a hurry, how about asking for something to drink?

- I really don't want to.

- so at least a cupcake, I already asked, you just need to accept?

- Just a cupcake then.

- It's nice to see you.

He raises his arm and the waitress brings a small, nicely decorated dumpling with red fruits on top and chocolate.

- Sounds good.

- How about you try it?

I take the fork and take a piece and put it in my mouth.

- That's delicious... our really very good, never ate such a good cake...

- I knew you'd like it, well now I'm going to tell you why I wasn't going, I was taking care of my dad.

- Is he okay?

- yes, he's a little sick but with some medication everything will improve but don't tell anyone.

- I promise.

- thank you... want to avoid visit at home, my father needs to rest a lot

- I'm sorry, but I feel the impression that I've seen you somewhere.

- Hmm, I don't think so, because if not I would remember you (blink)

I'm awkward and put another piece of cake in my mouth.

- The cake is delicious but I have to go now.

I get up and Gabriel holds my arm.

- No!

- How?

- I mean, it's still early, so stay a little longer.

- I'd like to stay but I have to go, can you let me go?

- I'm sorry, another day who knows, O your cut sarou ? (Look at my hand.

- yes, it's been a while.

- How nice (loose arm)

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- If my father doesn't need me.

I say goodbye and leave the coffee maker.

- She accepted the contract... I can't believe I'm going to lose to him.

I walk the streets with some bags, looking at the night the couples together, the lights that lit up the place really look beautiful.

- Hey girl.

I look back and I see Louis.

- Louis!

I run the same and give you a tight hug.

- I thought... I'm sorry. You hurt yourself for me...

- Don't squeeze me, I'm still hurt. (but stay by my side)

I walk away from a smile.

- I'm glad to see you again Louis.

- I never thought anyone would be happy to see a demon.

- What are you doing here?

- Since you saved me and accepted the contract, then I want to take you somewhere.

- Jura? where?

He took me up a building and showed me the city, it was very beautiful to see.

I look at him and his look was calmer and warmer, I was glad he was okay.

- I really liked this place.

- Sometimes I stay here.

- I didn't know Zyan was a panther.

- There, he just turns into my house, out of it he's a kitten.

- I almost died of fright, because no one told me that before.

- It must have been funny to see your face in fright.

- It wasn't funny (I slap your arm lightly)

- Come on, tomorrow you have class, I don't want you to be late because of me.

- I wanted to stay longer. ( Whispers )

- Would you like to fly?

- Isn't it better to just teleport?

- Do you trust me?

He floats in front of me and reaches out to me

I look down and I see the very small carts, I look at it, and I swallow the saliva.

- I don't know if it's a good one, yet, but this time of night...

- Are you scared?

- ...
