Chapter 7
Vivian P.O.V
I followed Alec out the door and down the many staircases to a part of the castle that seemed more hushed then the rest. Alec had a smile on his face, and moved so that he was right next to me. He put his hand on the small of my back and led me forward. I ignored the electric sensation I got from his hand on me. It's just because he's so cold. I thought to myself. What else could it be? I felt my face heat up and hoped he didn't see it. I kept my head down until we were at a set of double doors. I looked at him and if it was possible his smile had gotten wider. He seemed to be really excited about this.
"Do you enjoy reading?" I asked him.
"Yeah." He replied. "It's one of my favorite pastimes. This is one of my favorite rooms in the castle."
"And here I thought that all you guys did was stand around the throne room all day." I commented.
"That's only when we have vampire company. There are far too many hours in the day to just stand around. We must train our powers and educate ourselves." He informed me.
"Oh." I said, sounding stupid. I blushed even more. He covered my eyes with his icy hands and led me forward. I smiled. I could tell as soon as we got into the library because of the smell of old books. There were also some new books. I loved the smell of new books. It was right up there with the smell of rain.
Alec let go of my face and I gasped. It was the biggest library I had ever seen. It was perfect. I felt like belle from Beauty and the Beast. I spun around, trying to see all the books. It was amazing.
"This is just…." I said; unable to find the words I wanted.
"Beautiful." He finished, looking straight at me. I blushed and turned away.
"I could spend hours in here." I said.
"If you want to, you can. Come here." He said, taking my hand and leading me towards one of the windows. It had and cushiony looking window seat. I sat down sideways and leaned against the wall. It was incredibly comfortable.
I patted the seat in front of my feet, which I had put up on the seat, and Alec sat down.
"Thank you." I said. "This is more than anyone has ever done for me before." I smiled at him again. I was doing a lot of that lately.
"You deserve all this and more." He looked straight into my eyes as he said that, and I felt myself unable to look away.
We stay there for what could have been years and I wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for my ridiculous stomach that decided to ruin the moment. I groaned as I finally realized how much time had passed since I ate breakfast. I looked at my watch and my eyes shot up. It was three in the afternoon. We had been in here for roughly four or five hours. I looked back at the attractive person next to me.
"Time for lunch in the gardens?" He asked me. I smiled my thanks at him. He held his hand out to me and I placed mine in his. He led me out of the beautiful room we spent so much time in and through the many halls outside to a place in the castle I had never really paid attention to.
