"I think we lost Larten." Gavner said after running for quite some time, slowing down to catch his breath.
"Yeah.." I muttered, turning my head back to look behind Gavner across his shoulder, and see no signs of Mr. Crepsley except for some vampires who cast us strange looks as we walked past them. I leaned my head back to rest on Gavner's arm, as he is carrying me bridal style.
"How would you like to spend the rest of the evening, Juliet?" Gavner asked, and I shook my head. "I don't know.. Maybe we could talk? You know, just to pass the time?"
"Then I know where we should head to." Gavner said, a grin appearing on his face, "Hold tight, Darla."
Gavner carried me to his room, settling me down before proceeding to close the door of his room. I looked around the room, noticing that his room is quite neat and organized.
"Don't look at my room like it's not mine, Darla." Gavner said, returning to me after shutting the door. "I am quite picky when it comes to organizing and cleaning stuff, you know." I just nodded, and just stood still as Gavner walked around his room, making a warm cup of tea for me.
"Here, drink it while it's still hot." Gavner said, holding the cup towards me. I cupped it between my palms, enjoying the warmth that seeped from the cup. "I bet you're still quite cold from the bath earlier, are you? The water will be a torture to everyone here." Both of us laughed, as I slowly sipped my tea, which has a faint fragrance in it. I moaned in pleasure as the warm liquid flowed down my throat. "It's good, isn't it?" Gavner asked, and I nodded as I hold out the cup back to him, wanting him to get a taste of his own tea. "No thanks. You need it more than I do."
I looked around, and quickly sank my body into a bean bag lying not far from me, making myself comfortable inside Gavner's room.
"Hey, that's my favorite bean bag!" Gavner whined as I sat down on his bag. "Ah.. Sorry! I'll just... get up in a moment.." I grunted as I tried to get up without spilling my cup of tea, but then realized that it's impossible. So I settled down my tea on a small table beside the bean bag, and proceeded to struggle against the bean bag. Well, that's the thing I hate about bean bags. It gets all comfy and nice when you sat on it, but when you try to get up, all hell breaks loose to make you stay in the bag. I tried propping myself up with my arms pressed against the floor, but they couldn't even reach the floor because Gavner's bean bag is really wide. Then I frantically waved my legs in the air, trying to get some momentum to push myself up, but stopped eventually when Gavner popped a sentence.
"I can see your panties from here, Juliet."
I yelped and quickly pressed my skirts down, closing my knees together to make sure that my panties are not exposed to the vampire sitting on a chair in front of me. I hid most of my blush as I asked Gavner, "How much.. did you saw?"
Gavner rubbed his chin, before answering, "A lot. White in color. Cotton as fabric. Probably smooth to the touch."
"Stop!" I shouted, blushing like a mad tomato, "Don't even think about touching my.."
"Nah. Not even interested." Gavner scoffed, before looking at me straight in my eyes, slowly getting up from his chair and make small steps towards me, "Or do you actually want me to run my fingers through it?" Escape is not an option, because I've learned it the hard way that getting up from a bean bag takes a lot of time. I gulped as I watched Gavner closing in towards me, a smile carving on his face. I want to scream out loud, but I cannot find my voice upon the looming figure of Gavner.
Isn't Gavner a nice guy? Why is he doing this to me? It's probably that he's just playing around, but anything could go wrong! Oh no, oh no. What should I do? Mr. Crepsley, save me!
My train of thoughts are interrupted by Gavner's breath on my face. Then I realized that he is merely inches away from my face. I looked anywhere except for his face, trying to decide what to do.
"Scared?" Gavner said, and broke into a laughing fit. "God, Darla! You should have seen the look on your face! You make me feel like I'm a rapist!" I shouted at him, "What are you trying to do? You scared me!" And before I know it, I let out a breath that I am not even conscious of holding it in.
"You're very fun to scare, Darla!" Gavner said, "You gave the best reaction!" He then continued laughing as I blushed, this time from the rage building inside me.
"You.. You rotten vampire!" I howled, raising my fist and swinging my legs at him. He just laughed harder while trying to hold my flailing limbs in place. "You scared me! You scared me! How could you?" I tried harder to drag that scarred face down and deliver a hard punch towards it, but it's hard with my body sinking deeper into the bag.
Thus, I kicked Gavner in the knees, and he came toppling down with a surprised shriek.
And landed right on top of me.
"Argh! Gavner, you're heavy!" I grunted, trying to push Gavner and his weight away from me. They're crushing my breasts, dammit! I still have to grow them big and round to crush Mr. Crepsley's bones! "Get away from me!"
"You kicked me, remember?" Gavner retorted, trying to get up as well. He sank his palms into two sides of the bag, supporting himself up. "How could you scold me for something you did?"
"Get off her." Mr. Crepsley's voice rang over the whole room all of a sudden. Both of us turned our heads to look at the entrance of the room, to see Mr. Crepsle standing there, glaring very angrily at Gavner.
"Getting up, getting up." Gavner muttered, and got up from the bean bag in a quick motion. "For your information, I did not have any thoughts to rape your..." Gavner's explanation is cut off by Mr. Crepsley's punch.
"What do you think you are doing, getting into a position like that with Darla?" Mr. Crepsley demanded, and I can hear the rage in his voice, "She is my assistant, and I do not want anything that will harm her reputation to happen to her." Mr. Crepsley then reached out a hand to me, pulling me up from the bean bag. I stumbled clumsily into Mr. Crepsley's chest, and quickly retreated from it before reaching over to Gavner.
"You okay, Gavner?" I asked, looking at Gavner's nose, which is bleeding right now. He nodded his head, before exiting the room, leaving me and Mr. Crepsley alone in the General's room.
"Why do you care about him, Darla?" Mr. Crepsley asked, "He tried to do something bad to you just now, is it not?"
I recalled the moment when he acted all rapist and such, but eventually I shook my head, since he was just joking with me.
"I'm just looking out for you, Darla. Do not make me worry." Mr. Crepsley said, avoiding my gaze as usual when he declared something this corny, "And I think it's time we get something new to change into."
"Thank you." I said sheepishly, and the both of us sank into awkward silence as we tried to not look each other in the eye.
"My pleasure." Mr. Crepsley replied after a while. "Now if you would, let's get going. I am sure that Seba had already arranged for somebody to replace your coffin for a hammock. We could ask him to direct us to some new clothes."
"Hmm okay. Wait, Mr. Crepsley. I just need to get Gavner's tea. It's the best!" I took the tea that I settled on the table before, and followed my mentor as he lead me back to my room.
"I beg to differ." Mr. Crepsley voiced out when we're walking down the corridor. "Gavner makes the worst tea."
"You're just jealous." I teased, grinning cheekily, sipping on the sweet tea and enjoying this peaceful moment around my favorite vampire, Mr. Crepsley.
