Chapter 5...
We didn't talk much during Culinary Science, but no matter how much I thought it was stupid, his meatloaf was good by the end of the lesson.
"Wow, maybe you doing cooking will have its perks after all." I joked after eating the piece of meatloaf wrapped in bacon that Christian had given me.
"Yeah, yeah, having some respect for my awesome skills now after all." He said with a smirk on his face.
"I wouldn't go that far." I laughed back.
We left Culinary Science and made our way to the feeders. After that, we went to get some lunch. I stuffed my plate with the items of food that had the most calories, while Christian grabbed only a yoghurt.
"Why don't you weigh 50 stone again?" he asked me through laughs.
"Hey, I don't eat that much! I think the question is, why don't you weigh 2 stone!" I replied jokingly. Moroi didn't have much of an appetite, they only needed small amounts of food, but had to have blood regularly.
"Hey look at these muscles, I am definitely not 2 stone." He flexed his muscles and I laughed. I may be laughing, but you had to admit, Christian did have some nice muscles! Because of the training him and his Aunt Tasha did he had a nice physical build, rare for Moroi. Wait. I shouldn't think this about Christian, even if it was just admiring his nice abs.
"Come on, lets go and sit down." I said, trying to avoid another conversation about Christian's muscles.
We sat down on a table far away from Lissa and Adrian. I shot Eddie a sympathetic look as he stood guard by Lissa's table. "I really do feel sorry for Eddie." I said to Christian who turned his head to look in the same direction as me.
"Yeah, me too. Shame I couldn't have had two guardians eh?" he said with a slight chuckle.
"Yeah, then I would have some other source of entertainment." I joked.
"I'm not that bad!" Christian said, mocking hurt.
"Mmhmm." I said laughing. "That's what you think…" He laughed along with me and we continued the day with high spirits.
"Finally, classes are over." Christian exclaimed just as the bell rang, and we filed out of the classroom.
"Yup, now I might as well get settled in my new room, right?" I asked.
"Sure, lets go." I followed Christian up to his room. We walked in and I saw the big bed in the middle of the room. When I had been in his room before, I had never considered that I would have to sleep on the floor. Sleeping in his bed was definitely not an option.
Christian had his own room, because no one had wanted to share with the 'Strigoi Wannabe'. I didn't get how everyone could judge Christian like that. If I was going to choose one Moroi that I had ever met to go Strigoi hunting with, it would definitely be Christian.
"Looks like I'm getting the floor then." I grumbled to Christian.
"Unless you want to share this warm, comfy, big bed with me." Teased Christian.
"Floor it is." I said back, whilst laughing gently.
"There are some blankets in the cupboard, and you can steal a few of my pillows." He said whilst gesturing at the cupboard and then the bed.
I turned around to make my way to the cupboard when a pillow hit the back of my head. I spun around sharply to find Christian laughing hysterically. "I just thought I would give you your pillow now." He said between chuckles.
I grabbed the pillow off the floor and threw it back at him. It hit him smack bang in the face, and I giggled. "Two can play at that game!" I shouted at him before picking up a pillow and going to whack him with it. He grabbed a pillow and whacked me back.
We spent the next ten minutes throwing and crushing each other with pillow, using up all our energy, until Christian landed on top of me. We were both breathing hard. He had almost his full body wait on me, and I was finding it harder to breath. Neither of us moved, and we just stared into each others eyes, neither of us being able to look away. After doing this for just over a minute, I grabbed my pillow and whacked him, causing him to roll off me and onto the bed beside me.
We were both still panting. "Well… I think we might need some new pillows." Christian said through pants.
I looked around the room to find feathers scattered everywhere. "Oh god." I said laughing. "I didn't realise we had made that much of a mess."
We spent the rest of the day cleaning up the feathers and scavenging around to see if we could find some more pillows. By the time we had found some, it was just about curfew and we both headed back to Christian's dorm.
"Night Rose." Christian said from the bed.
"Night Christian." I said from the floor.
Soon after that, I fell into a deep dreamless sleep, or so I thought. Sure enough, I found myself materializing on a beach. "Adrian…" I said, cursing under my breath.
