Kai's POV

Time passed by and the boring life went on and on. It was waking up, walking about aimlessly, eating junk food, watching whatever was on and drinking the most delicious blood I've ever tasted.

And damn, was it delicious.

Thinking about the blood also brought up about the owner of said blood.

Vladimir.

The man was so rude, cocky, too much confident, pervert and mysterious. That's all I could see in the past but now, I saw him in a different light. Yes he was a mystery but there's a part of everyone that you don't want to make it anyone's business. He was allowed to be mysterious as much as he wanted.

Unfortunately, I've been noticing other things about him. Like how he knows his way around a kitchen, how strong his shoulders look and not forgetting the abs, on the few occasions I've seen them. The beard he was spotting now was so hot.

Then there was a dimple on his left cheek when he sincerely smiled because I've noticed sometimes when he smiled, the dimple was absent unlike when he watched his favorite comedy which was when I first saw it after being forced to sit with him throughout 20 episodes. I wished I'd make him smile like that but I wasn't a comedian so that wish was farfetched.

When I was alone in this house, I had usually cried and cried and cried. It was scary, waking up in a strange house then adding to all that was the failure stamped on my heart about just how much I sucked in finding a boyfriend. Once again, another boyfriend betrayed my trust and our connection. I knew we didn't date that long but the thing about my heart is that it feels too much.

But since Vlad came, I felt safe. I knew we still were in danger but my body couldn't help it but relax. I wasn't afraid of anything or worried at all.

"What are you smiling about?"

Startled by the voice, I accidentally dropped my bowl of popcorn that I was eating from. Sighing at the mess, I looked up to Vlad who was wearing sunglasses. It's been a few nights without him around here. I raised a brow and mocked the irritating glasses he's decided to keep, "what's up with those?"

"Something happened to my eyes, I'm keeping them safe." He murmured while changing channels as if I wasn't watching something already.

"You mean they are red again? Is that a problem?" I frowned, feeling a chill inside me.

"Don't worry about it." Vlad dismissed my words just like that and I knew enough by now to not push it.

The first time I saw the red eyes was when I recklessly acted on a curiosity. I don't know why but I really needed to try drinking from him and not a cup. The things we did amidst that was uncalled for and when I came back to my senses after my body's relief, I didn't blame Vlad when he stormed out of the kitchen.

I shamelessly walked to my bedroom and took a long bath. Only when I was reminiscing about what happened was when I remembered seeing the red flash in Vlad's eyes before he left.

I didn't make too much thoughts on that as I dismissed it as an in the moment hallucination. However, later on when I couldn't sleep after turning around in bed, I walked in on Vlad pacing in the sitting room. He glanced at me and I remember my body coming to a halt at the glare that accompanied his glance. But most of all, it was the red that had replaced his beautiful brown eyes.

He looked different with red eyes but this was a good different. It was like seeing him for the first time and I was stunned. Only when I felt how stunned I was below there, I hightailed it out of the room.

"I'm not afraid of that." I muttered, thinking he might have misunderstood my running that day. I wanted to see his eyes again but I noticed he was wearing sunglasses a few nights and then he was not, and then he was wearing them again. Tonight was one of those sunglasses night I guess.

Vlad looked at me but I was busy checking my nails, avoiding his gaze. He then looked back at the television after a few moments.

"I missed you." I blurted out.

During the sunglasses nights, Vlad was distant. He only came out to cook something and leave me a glass of blood before retreating to his room. Only when he was okay was when he sat down with me, which was the non glasses nights. I was actually surprised he was here in sunglasses but I wasn't complaining.

I truly missed him.

I first thought he was mad at me for the stunt I pulled and I apologized, though it was embarrassing. He blushed it off and I then wondered what was up. Only when I saw his red eyes after a slip up of his glasses, I realised he must thought they scared me that's why he avoided me.

"I'm sorry, it's not you but me. I hate my eyes when they get like this." He said after settling on one of his comedies.

I opened my mouth to ask why he hated the thing I seem to have liked most about him when he turned to me. This time I was looking at him and he had his glasses off.

I think my favorite colour is red.

Vlad laughed and that dimple was visible. "Thanks for telling me that. I'll keep in mind when I plan to get you a gift."

"What?" I asked, oblivious to why he laughed. Why would he get me a gift?

"You said your favorite colour is red." He chuckled as I groaned in embarrassment. "But seriously, thanks that you don't mind and I'm sorry for leaving you alone, it won't happen again."

I think that was a promise so I smiled and settled myself comfortably as we watched the comedy. He got me some more popcorn and the night was spent away hearing Vlad laughing that laugh which made his left cheek dimple appear.

I was so content.

***
A few days and nights passed by and I was homesick. I missed my parents a lot. I wanted mother to yell at me, scold me about my stupid choices and when I thought about mum, big tears cascaded down my face.

I threw the blankets off me and ran out of my room in search for comfort by the name of Vlad. I first checked in the kitchen where my glass of blood was missing which meant he wasn't up yet. I debated on waiting for him to come out or not and in the end, I walked to his door and knocked.

"Vlad!" I called when the knocks weren't answered.

I kept knocking and calling but there was no answer. Suddenly I felt hot as sweat formed on my forehead but yet I was shivering as goosebumps formed on my body. So many irrational thoughts danced through my mind. I didn't want to drown in those thoughts and so I focused on getting to Vlad.

I grabbed the door knob and turned it. To my surprise, the door was unlocked which still didn't calm my nerves as I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.

"Vlad!" I trembled when I saw he wasn't on his bed and a quick search through the room confirmed my fears. A cry escaped my mouth as my legs gave out and I kneeled on the carpeted floor.

Did something happen? Was Vlad okay? Did someone hurt him? Where was he? Why did he live me? Where did he go without me? Why was I such a mess?

"Hey, hey, Kai!"

Why was I still hearing him in my head? He left me, Vlad left me just like-

"Kai, snap out of it. What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Vlad embraced me and that really made me snap out of my head.

I opened my eyes and saw his strong arms around me. I felt him behind me and the fact that he didn't leave me somehow made me cry the most.

"I-I thought you l-left m-me. Oh Vlad, you a-are still h-here. V-vlad-"

"Shush, Kai, I'm here. I never left you. I was in the bathroom. I will never leave you. Don't cry please. I don't like seeing you like this." Vlad comforted me with his warm words and I felt good.

"I want to go home, I miss my mum. My mother should be so worried about me, I have to-"

"Calm down, Kai. We will go home soon. You will be with your parents and I'll make sure no harm befall you."

I drank in his words and slowly his words engulfed all my irrational thoughts until his were the only words in my mind. I stopped crying and when I began focusing on things around me, I found myself on his lap while he was sitting on the edge of his bed. I unwrapped my arms around his neck and leaned back a bit to look at Vlad.

His arms were around my waist but he wasn't looking at me. I studied him silently and something felt off. I brought my hand to his chin and caressed the growing stubble there. Vlad tensed and I could feel his arms around me getting tighter.

"Look at me, Vlad." I whispered.

I thought he would resist that and I was ready to try another way to get him to look at me but amazingly, Vlad's body deflated of its tenseness and slowly he looked down at me.

"Vlad," I gasped and held his face to take a good look at him. "What happened?"

"It's nothing, Kai."

"No, it's not nothing. You look horrible. It's like, it's like you- Oh no! Vlad, are you STARVING?" The realisation flew me off guard and the trembling came back full force.

His red eyes glowed and he sneered at me. "Get out, Kai."

He stood me up and pointed at the door but I stubbornly remained in his room.

"Kai!" He insisted but I sat on his bed and gave him a stern look.

"Now I get it." The eyes must have been because of that. But why couldn't I see something was wrong? He looked fine to me and he insisted he didn't need any blood. That he could go through months without it.

I was such a fool for believing him.

"Leave my room, Kai. Or else I'll drag you out myself."

"I'm sorry, Vlad." I murmured and he frowned at me. "I've been selfish. I only cared about myself and every night when I woke up to drink your blood, I had no idea about how you were faring. For that, please forgive me."

"What nonsense are you on about?"

"Vlad, you can drink on me."

Vlad scoffed and approached me on the bed. "Are you insane?"

"No I'm not. You know you need this, please just......." I bit down on my wrist and the smell of blood hits me and by the retreating form of Vlad, I knew he could smell it too.

"You- you are insane."

"I'll bleed out if you don't-"

"Fine!" Vlad matched at me and I got ........excited? It was like a switch had been turned on, he was no longer shying away from me. And those eyes, oh my god.

"If you want me to drink on you, then we are going to do it my way." He stopped in front of me, partied my legs and stood between them. "I will drink and drink and drink, until I'm full. Then I will kiss those lips that have been seducing me these past days and not forgetting that ass."

Vlad reached out with his finger and touched my lips. I shivered but then I reached out a tongue and caressed his finger. He was taken aback by the action and when he licked his lips, I knew there was no turning back now.

"Kai," Vlad started but I was quick to shut him up.

I closed the distance between us and touched my lips with his. If this was how I was gonna get this stubborn man something to drink then so be it.

It's not like I wasn't going to enjoy it anyways.

It was a win-win situation.
