Chapter 13
Now Anne had to feed him and help with any further needs. She sat on his bed, carrying a bowl in hands, and told him that the meal was made for him to eat. It was hard to tell what was wrong with him, it seemed that he had been poisoned, or bitten by something that left him out of himself. The always sharp, witty and focused Vergil seemed to be a bit off. He could barely walk the moment he got back to the shop and although she was no doctor she knew that some soup and a nice warm bath could do wonders. Was he drunk? Some could go as far and state that he had probably drunk one too many drinks at the bar or something. Since his movements were beginning to come back, and he seemed a bit more in his wits, he managed to open his mouth and swallow all of the spoon's contents. She owed that man not only money, but her dignity. She was going to do whatever was in her reach to ensure that he could feel better soon. It was not her job per say, however she was there and she would ensure she would help her bosses as best as she could, after all she did owe them, both of them.
The soup was good, he had to admit it, but he just felt like an idiot being treated as a baby, being a grown up man and all. He was Vergil, son of Sparda. He had been through thick and thin, but that feeling he had, that weird weight in his head was definitely something he had never experienced. It was as if a cloud had fogged his senses, as if his eyes were blurry and needed correction lenses. It was difficult to understand and to get better from that. At the same time that his fine skills were dull, another part of his body seemed to be on fire. Every touch, every breath, every smell seemed to have been enhanced tenfold. He was not the one to contaminate his body with drugs and other things, so that was definitely something new for him. Was he intoxicated? He wasn sure himself. In fact he had no recollection of what led him to be in such a state. He knew he wasn alone and that he was being taken care of by someone…that delicious plumeria smell…She treated him with so much care. Even after that out of the blue kiss they had shared some days prior, she just felt attracted to him. He was a handsome and secretive blue eyed man with the manners of an English nobleman. How could she not? She was beautiful, quiet, liked to read, polite, and had a nice body; he wasn't the one to stare at a woman's boobs or anything but still, he was a hot blooded male and even himself could not deny being in the presence of a pretty woman. She was completely innocent, almost childlike and pure in his eyes. If only she knew of all the things that took him to where he was, if only she could only begin to understand the things that made him who he was, Vergil Sparda.
He then had his soup and noticed his movements were coming back faster than he thought they were going to. His food was still there, warm and rich. The flavors of simple chicken broth were popping in his taste buds like wildfire. Why was he feeling that way? DId he drink or touch something that he should not have? The whole situation was making his eyes blurry and his senses slightly off, but another part of him was more awake than ever. It was as if he was his silly younger brother, all feelings and no brain. She could hear the noise of someone cleaning the mess that he did in the bathroom. There was some scrubbing and the smell of cleaning products as well. She head the noise of a clack, and so she went there to check him up. It seemed to have been just the spoon that fell from the side table.
"What's wrong?", she asked motherly, then lowered her face to check his pupils. The ice blue of his eyes were almost gone, and all she could see were dilated pupils until he captured her lips in another heated moment she didn't expect. She did not try to avoid it, she only deepened the gesture as he managed to grab her arms and pull her down towards himself in bed.
He felt a strange rush into his body, he didn't know if it was the poison fading, blood flooding, lust or anything else, he just got carried away for the very first time in his life. If there would be one time in his life that he did not think twice about anything it was that time.
He pulled her down onto the top of his chest not breaking the kiss, as she caressed his silky white hair, he managed to open her blouse revealing her bra, at this rate she was all over his body. There was no way back, both got carried away.
It seemed like Vergil had never been poisoned that night as he positioned himself in-between her legs, as certain as he could ever be in his life, both now totally naked. He looked deep inside her eyes as if asking for her permission. Those innocent eyes wanted nothing else than to be with the mysterious blue cloaked man at that time. He entered her gently not to hurt her, and from that moment on they would make love till dawn would break.
Never did she imagine her first time would happen like this, and with someone as alluring as Vergil himself.
xxxThe following morningxxx
Anne felt something move beside her on the bed. This something made sounds as well. It was when everything made sense again. Then it hit her, all last night's activities came flooding in her brain like a wrecking ball. She turned to her side and looked at his face. He was lying there, face completely rid of any worries, it was soft and relaxed, like she had never seen it before. The whole tension that seemed to follow the man was now completely gone. She looked at him in such an adoring way it was like they were a lifetime couple; it was one of Anne's flaws, she clung too fast to people, she was way too emotional on these affairs.
She then kissed his chest, not blushing anymore and went downstairs to make breakfast, little did she know people at Devil May Cry were already making lunch by that time she left the bed that 'morning'.
"Good morning.", she said, yawning contently.
Everybody just stared at her as if she was from another planet, then Dante cleared his throat and joked.
"I take it you had a good night, Miss Anne?", some didn't know what he wanted to hear as an answer, if she would only apologize for being late and pretend nothing happened (something they would hardly believe since they heard moans and rustlings during the night), or she would say she had one hell of a night with his brother in bed.
He did stick to his first option since she was too polite not to apologize not for being up to do her job.
"Yes, sorry for being late…I…I lost track of time.", now she was pretty embarrassed since she put two and two together and realized they were looking funny at her hence the sounds Vergil and herself most likely made during the previous night. Drywall wasn't the best material for those who seek privacy.
"I sure you have…", Dante snickered, making a funny sound through his nostrils. His playful smile reached his eyes at full blast.
When the kitchen got cleaned from people, the only two occupants who were still there were Anne and Dante. She was washing the dishes and Dante who, for the first time in his whole life, wanted to have a serious conversation with someone. He was beginning to think his brother had a sexual problem or something else, since he never did have a girlfriend let alone mention having sex with anyone.
He cleared his throat and tried to put it as seriously as he could.
"Umn..ah..I'm glad my brother chose you to do things with.", it didn't come out as nicely as he wanted, but it didn't sound totally rude or intrusive anyways.
"Ahh, un, sorry for disturbing you...I'm so embarrassed.", Anne just couldn't believe she was discussing her sexual life with no other than the brother of her first man.
"I thought my brother was an asexual being.", he laughed a bit.
"I didn't imagine it would ever happen to the both of us, I'm just glad it happened though. It's been a while since I've fallen for him."
Vergil might be a special person for her, but is the feeling mutual?
