Hello my readers, my gift of love is on his way, let´s see what kind of confusion it will cause, don´t we all love confusion, so invigorating haha, greetings King Aro

Chapter 9: A gift of love…

Felix was wearing a big grin on his face, when he spotted Heidi, with a bunch of red roses in her hands.

"Oh, Heidi my love, you know it´s not necessary, roses for me, your lover, thank you my sweet" he murmured in her ear, rolling his eyes in an overdramatic way.

"I would like to hit you with those, my lover boy" Heidi retorted with a big grin, handing the bundle of flowers over to Felix.

"Could you two lovebirds just cut it out, so we can leave?" Demetri asked in a mocking and annoying tone, grinning at Felix.

"Oh, Dem," Felix coed, "don´t worry, I will get you nice flowers next time, don´t be jealous brother."

Now it was on Demetri to roll his eyes at his fellow guard member and he growled. "C´mon let´s get it over with, this is all so ridiculous".

"You guys don´t know anything about romance" Heidi sighs, looking at the flowers once again, but grinning at the same time.

"Oh Heidi, we know what stirs your romantic feelings, so don´t act like you are so excited about those flowers," Demetri comments and laughs.

But before they can go on with their banter, they see Caius, coming around the corner, anger blazing in his eyes.

Like on cue, he barks at them with his strong commanding voice. "Heidi, Felix and Demetri I do believe you all have your duties, do you not? He asks, starring at them with a devil glare.

Heidi, nodding toward Caius, is the first one to answer. "Yes, Master Caius, I am on my way outside right now" and with those words Heidi disappears in a blink.

Felix, holding the flowers in his huge hands and Demetri standing right beside him, is bowing his head. "We´re sorry Master Caius and we are going to leave right now." Both turning to leave, stop motionless at their spot, when they hear Caius bark again.

"Where do you guys think you are going with those roses?" Caius asks, his eyes narrowed and his brows in a frown.

"Master Aro asked us, to deliver those flowers, Master Caius" Demetri answered, but avoiding to look at his Master.

Caius, deciding he does not even wants to know, about Aro´s plans, growls. "Well then, go on with this weird business of yours and then hurry back, because we have real duties to fulfill here" he shouts and turns around to leave.

Both of the guards bow their heads toward their fiery master and disappear quickly.

Elea´s POV:

I was lying on my bed in the hotel room, reading, when I heard a knock on my door.

Once I opened, I was greeted with the biggest bundle of the most amazing red roses. Two men were standing in the door frame and I recognized one of them as Demetri, Marcus coworker. The other man, the one, who was holding the roses, was a huge, strong guy with a big grin on his face.

They both wore those black cloak´s like the one; Marcus was wearing when I met him at the library. This must be the castle uniform, I thought to myself. It's a little old fashioned and strange, but rich families tend to be eccentric.

"Hello Demetri, why don´t you guys come in?" I smiled and looked at the men in front of me.

He smiled back and both of them stepped into my room.

"Elea, it is nice to see you again "Demetri nodded and turning his head toward the other man he said "let me introduce you to Felix. He works at the castle too."

"Nice to meet you, Felix" I answered feeling sort of awkward while he was still holding those flowers.

"Nice to meet you, too" Felix answered extending his arms, to hand me the big bundle of roses.

I could feel that I started blushing at this and both of their smiles got even wider.

"Elea", Demetri was gesturing towards the roses, "this is a little welcome gift from the castle. Our Master wants' you too have these".

"Please, tell Marcus that I am really looking forward to our meeting tomorrow. And please tell him thanks' for those beautiful flowers." I was speaking in a low voice, hiding my blushing face by pretending to smell the flowers in my hands.

"We will, tell our Master about your gratitude, but are going to leave right now, because we still have a lot to do." Demetri answered.,

"And, please remember to be at the clock tower in time. Someone will come and get you and will take you to the castle." Demetri said.

And with those final words and a nod with their heads, both of the men turned around to leave.

I was speechless and overwhelmed by this present. I mean red roses!

I would guess that the language of flowers is international, when it comes to red roses, is it not?

I was confused. I had just met Marcus and only talked to him for a few minutes. Could it be that Italian men where really more the gigolo type, like the famous Casanova?

I had no idea, what to think of this gift, but I was intrigued.

I am a romantic at heart, and jezz, this is quite romantic, I had to admit.

But still, I was telling myself, I had to be watchful and not fall for a cheap gigolo trick.

Who is this Marcus Volturi, and what is his agenda?
