chapter 7

Trish POV

Once again, I thought I was going to die. Everything went dark and the darkness consumed me. I can hear people around me shouting but I couldn't talk back. I couldn't feel my body and I can't even open my eyes. It was like I couldn't control my own body. I drifted through the dark and the next time, I open my eyes I saw Liam watching over me but I drifted back to sleep. These happened several times, until I was able to speak with Liam.  I found out that Scott died and I got upset. I remembered all the things he told me. Vampires exist and Stanley was indeed a real person. I couldn't tell anyone about it so I kept it on my own.

Liam never left my side and I was really grateful to him. He even paid for my hospital bills. I don't know why his doing it but one thing is for sure he isn't doing it for free. I know he would demand something from me soon but as for now I can't do anything but accept his help. He insisted that I stay with him at his penthouse after I was discharged from the hospital. I had no choice since I had nowhere to go. Mikel was moving in with Sam so I can't stay with him. 

"That's my office and that's off limit. You are welcome to explore everything except that room. That's house rule number one and second one is no inviting men in this house specially in your room. You can have guest but no men."

"If I'm seeing someone, I'm sure as hell not going to bring that person here." I stated firmly. "I'm tired. I'll go to bed."

"I'll go with you." Mikel stated excitedly. "This place is magnificent." Mikel stated as he closed the door. "I can't believe your staying here with him."

"If I had a choice I wouldn't." I admitted. "Have I told you I had sex with him?" I lay on the bed.

"You didn't have to tell me. It was so obvious. The poor guy is under your spell." He lay down next to me. "He is so mesmerized by you. You can control him."

"How I wish it's true? I think I'm the one whose in helpless here. Mikel, I'm in so much trouble."

"Well, he did offer you a separate room. So I think he won't try to take advantage of you. Besides, if he is a maniac or psychotic he wouldn't have told me where you'd live. He would have demanded you to stay in the same bed with him. Which I doubt you'll mind?" He teased.

"Mikel, I honestly think that if he did try to share a bed with me that I'll object." I admitted. 

"Was he that good?" He chuckled.

"Uh huh." I nodded. "And he was also so huge."

"Shit! You are in so much trouble." He stated. "I wish I'm in your position."

"Why? Isn't Sam satisfying?" I teased.

"He is." He glared at me. "But you seemed to be in a very exciting position. I bet you enjoyed giving that huge thick cock a blow job. Playing with it, licking it and sucking it like a lollipop." He giggled while pretending to be giving a blow job.

"You're disgusting." I stated laughing when he started moaning loudly.

"Oh, yes!" He screamed as if we were having sex. "Come on, baby ride me like you mean it."

"What the hell?!" Sam stated as he and Liam barge in the room and I fell off the bed laughing.

"What are you two doing?" Sam stated angrily at Mikel.

"Ouch." I got up still laughing. "Mikel was just getting fucked by his imaginary lover."

"Mikel." Sam glared at him. "That's not funny."

"What?!" Mikel glared. "I'm gay. Do you actually think I'll fuck, Trish?"

"I wouldn't mind." I embraced Mikel and licked his neck.

"Eeww... that's so disgusting." He moved away from me and I started laughing again. 

"You sounded more disgusting earlier." I was already teary because of laughing to hard.

"You got so many blows in your head and now you're getting insane." Mikel replied.

"I'm sorry. You started it." I lay down in the bed trying so hard to stop laughing.

"Say goodbye to your friend. I think it's time for them to leave." Liam stated seriously.

"What?! No." I responded. "Mikel is staying here tonight. We had so much to discus."

"Like what?" Mikel looked at me really surprised.

"Like how big is Sam's dick." I blurted out laughing. "I can't help but picture it." I stated then I glanced at Sam's jeans already crying. 

"Okay, that's enough." Mikel stated seriously. "You might pee yourself if you don't stop."

"I feel better know." I said trying to catch my breath. "Laughter sure is the best medicine."

"You should rest. I'll just see you tomorrow." Mikel stated.

"Okay." I yawned and Mikel tucked me in. "Thanks. I love you."

"I love you, baby girl." He kissed my cheeks and left the room with Sam.

"I don't want you talking with Mikel about dicks ever again." Liam stated seriously.

"Stop acting like my dad." I stated. "Me and Mikel, always talk about stupid things. Don't take it seriously." I embrace the pillow next to me. "Besides, it helps me forget things."

"Do you want to talk about?" He sat on the bed and touched my cheeks.

"How big Sam's dick is?" I teased and he glared at me.

"The only dick you should be thinking about is mine." He stated seriously.

"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now." I turned by back at him and waited for him to leave before I started laughing again.

I stare at the ceiling trying to recall what happened between me and Scott. I was really bothered that the only person who thinks vampires do exist is now dead. I already dropped off the idea about vampires after waking up from coma. I wanted to have a fresh start but after what Scott told me my desire to prove that vampires exist was awakened. I looked at the time, it was 3:00 AM. I might have fallen asleep after Liam left and he didn't seemed to have bothered me to have dinner. My stomach growled and so I decided to find something to eat. And to my surprise there was no food. There was only liquor and wine. So I decided to just go to the poolside and enjoy the cool breeze and the beautiful view of the city. Liam's penthouse was on the 45th floor and the view from his poolside was amazing.

"Enjoying the view?" I was startled when I heard his voice.

"Yeah." I look around and saw him in the pool. "I didn't know you were there. Isn't the water cold?" I stated as he swam towards my direction.

"It's okay." He got out the pool and I can't help but stare at his naked body.

"You should put some clothes on." I looked away after realizing that I was staring.

"What are you doing up at this hour?" He stated as he stood next to me. 

"I was..." I froze when I felt his hands on my shoulder, massaging it.

"You were?" He whispered at me as he pressed his wet body on my back.

"Liam." My body shivered as he kissed my neck.

"You smell so good." He stated huskily. "I bet you'll taste even better."

"What?" I looked at him and his lips captured mine.

I was lost the moment his lips was on me. I didn't know how we ended up in our current position. My legs were wrap around his waist and my arms wrap around his neck. My back pressed against the wall. He was starting to kiss me more hungrily which I was really enjoying. But he started to became rough as he tried to remove my clothes. I flinched when he touched my ribs since I was still recovering from my injuries. He immediately stopped and looked at me worriedly.

"I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?" He looked so worried.

"No, I think we should just try to slow down a bit." I replied panting.

"No. I'll take you back to your room." He carried me to my room and lay me on the bed. "You should rest." 

"But..." I looked at his arousal and bit my lips.

"Next time, love. I don't think you can handle it." He stated and left. 

I was left in my room sexually aroused and frustrated. This guy is driving me nuts. I know how much he wanted me but he chose to leave. He could have just been gentle. I'm a fucking teenager with an uncontrollable hormones. I'd jump him. But then again, I shouldn't. I'll wait for him to beg me for it. He can't just turn me on and leave like this. I turned and tossed in the bed until it was 6:00 AM. He messed with the wrong girl. I took a shower and changed. He must've been sleeping so I left the penthouse and went to the park across the building for a run.

"Where have you been?" He was so furious when I got out the elevator.

"I went out for a run." I replied. 

"You should have told me. I went over to your room and you were gone. What if something bad happened to you." He scolded at me as we walk back his penthouse.

"Can you please stop yelling." I covered my ears with my hands and sat down at the couch. "Stop treating me as a kid."

"Patricia, look at me." He stated seriously as he sat next to me. "You are not to leave my sight. Do you understand?"

"What?! I'm not your prisoner. I can do whatever I want." I yelled at him.

"You can as long as I have my eyes on you. You're not leaving this place without me."

"Oh, great. Now. I'm grounded. I'm not your kid. Why are you practicing you parenting skills on me."

"Then start acting like an adult." He replied pissed. "Don't just leave without saying where you're going. You almost just died and your acting irresponsibly."

"You're being irrational. I thought you were sleeping so I didn't want to disturb you. I need a run because you turned me on and left me in bed frustrated. And now I'm being childish. Look who's talking." I stood up and looked at him disgusted. "And if you want to pretend to be the adult here and act like a responsible person maybe you should consider buying some food. I'm starving." I went to my room and slammed it really loudly before locking it.

The nerves of that man. Why was he treating me like a little kid. He was so ready to fuck me last night and now his acting like he was my dad. I remembered how my dad use to ground me because of my stubbornness. How I missed then at moments like this. Liam was really getting into my nerves. I wish I had somewhere else to go. After fifteen minutes there was a knock in my room.

"Patricia, your breakfast is  here." He continued knocking loudly when I didn't open the door. "Open this fucking door or I'd break it down!"

"What the hell is your problem?" I open the door and glared at him.

"Your breakfast is in the counter." He stated calmly. "Patricia, you are never to lock that door. I would never come in unannounced but you should never lock it."

"Oh my goodness! You have so many fucking rules. I thought that you were really nice then but now I'm starting to get pissed at you. You're an annoying prick." 

"Just do as I say." He stated dismissively and went out the poolside.

I looked at the food he ordered. It was my favorite Chinese food. There was so much food and I don't think I could eat all of them. I was still pissed at him but I didn't really want to eat alone. So I transferred the food and set the table for two. I don't know why but I can't seem to stay mad at him. There's something about him that makes me feel safe.

"Liam, the food is ready." I called him as he entered the house.

"Just eat. I'm not hungry." He replied while drinking some wine.

"I hate eating alone. And there so much food." I complained.

"Fine. I'll watch you eat." He sat opposite of me. 

"Are you an alcoholic or something? I mean isn't it too early to be drinking." 

"Just eat. It's not polite to talk with your mouth full."

"You know what you're impossible. I'm trying my best to be nice to you and you are making it impossible for me to like you. You're annoying."

"We both know that you like me, love. You're just not used to being looked after." He stated. "I'm used to have people follow my orders so please just do as I say and we would get along just fine."

"I'm a human being not a puppet." I retorted. "So you can't expect me to just take orders from you." I kept on eating and talking at the same time.

"I have ways to make sure that people follow my orders." He warned.

"Are you threatening me?" I looked at him in disbelief. "After all that I've been through, do you actually think I'm going to be scared."

"I never want you to feel scared. I want you to trust me. I would never do anything to put you in harm or hurt you." He admitted. "Your so young so I have to make sure that you don't do anything stupid."

"I'm 21 and I am technically an adult. Why are you treating me like your a thousand years older than me? Your basically, what twelve, thirteen years older than me. The age gap is not the huge. Stop looking at me like a kid."

"If I'm seeing a kid when I look at you I wouldn't have the desire to fuck you every time I see you." He stated seriously. "Mikel would be here any minute. Excuse me." I was left speechless.
