Love At Risk
Episode 28
Ad..?.. Adrian??
” You are just making assumptions aren’t you?”
He looked at me then back at the road but didn’t reply.
I swallowed hard and bit my lips.
I could still feel it, the kss.
I couldn’t possibly have kssed a v.ampire few hours ago….
I mean, there was no sign of anything beastly in him.
The way he worked his lips on mine tenderly, how his hands swept over my body and waist passionately but tender.
I closed my eyes and this time it watered.
My head didn’t just ache.
My head throbbed.
I began feeling feverish, my bones felt weak.
Then he spoke up ” I am probably making assumptions you know, don’t take it too seriously… Sorry if what I said affected you” he probably sensed that I wasn’t taking in the information well.
I glanced at him but shut my eyes immediately. My eyes hurt when I move them.
” You okay?”
” Yeah….. I just need some sleep and I’ll be fine” I swallowed again to control the heat in my throat ” what is your proof?” I asked.
” Don’t worry about it Malia”
” I want to know”
” Alright, at first, you know how he is always mean and cold toward people right? I had always suspected that there was something fishy about him..
Then to fuel my suspicion…..
I don’t know… The human monster…. I don’t know how to say it….. But it looked like it had a semblance to him”
My heart sank.. literally…
“Continue” I said dryly
” And you remember that night at prom? When Adrian took you out forcefully? Well Stella told me that she saw him park the car and run out into the woods… and from my knowledge, some of them transform at a particular time of the night, so that might mean that he transformed and ran into the woods”
My mind flashed to that night, Adrian was yelling at me to stay away from him.
I could also remember his mom’s words ” Adrian doesn’t eat dinner with us”.
Adrian said ” I prefer staying indoors at night”
WTF is going on… And who the fuck is Stella and how did she see Adrian run into the woods? Was she stalking us?
” Who the fuck is Stella?”I asked rather angrily
” She’s a friend, the slim blonde in your class”
“Oh” I mouthed… The girl that came to sit with Adrian during lunch because she saw me sit with him.
” She kinda has a crush on Adrian.. every girl does” he rolled his eyes.
I heaved… We were silent again…

“I could just be making assumptions you know” he said as he stopped at the traffic light.
” You know it isn’t nice to make such nasty and scary assumptions about people.. I’m not with you on this… For christsakes are you crazy! You could ruin someone’s life with these so called assumptions” I raised my voice.
My body disciplined me and I shut up.
My sickness worsened and my eyes grew heavy and painful.
Derek drove silently as he rolled to a stop at Adrian’s house
“I’m not crazy… I’ll prove it”
“Don’t do anything nasty Derek!”
He got out of the car, turned and opened the door for me as I got out..
I was angry but still had some manners left in me
” Thanks for the ride. Bye”
I walked into the house…

Stella’s POV
” Oh Stella you had to see them! Like a couple! Adrian literally carried her into the shop, you had to see it!!!! ” Lisa whined
” The hot part was the kiss !! Oh heavens I couldn’t stand it!! Too touchy, she was all over him .. she messed with his hair, she messed with the hair of the son of the richest man in France!!” Anna chipped in
“Enough! Adrian is mine… He will not belong to anyone, and that Malia girl, I’m sure she charmed him.. that night he ran away from her into the woods, who knows what she was trying to do to him… I’ll make sure that she regrets messing with my guy”
” And guys! She is in the dance team that is competing with us”
Anna chipped again
“Really?” I smiled wistfully rubbing my palms
” You have any plans?” Lisa asked
” Not yet…I’m cooking something up” I smirked
