Chapter 506

Darrien
My eyes stay on him as he holds unto the flask. He doesn’t want to drink it but I don’t know why.
“Baby, what is going on?’’ I ask him calmly because I expected this. Some kind of PTSD from what happened and it is completely understandable.
“I don’t know, I don’t want it. I don’t want to drink blood anymore,’’ he confesses with a soft exhale.
“Why not, you need it. This isn’t really about what you want right now.’’
He rolls his eyes and drops the flask on the bed “I am fine without it; I haven’t had any craving all day.”
I nod “Yeah but eventually you will and you will go on a rage.’’
I have seen Jabi when he is blood thirsty, I mean that is what got us in this mess in the first place. He is not himself and until he is able to control his urges, he will need to keep drinking blood consistently.
I think on that for a bit and then I say:
“Baby you are not just a werewolf anymore. This is a part of you and you have to accept it.’’
He frowns and I see that he is conflicted but I don’t know what to say apart from what I have already said. I just need him to be fine.
“Can I just not have it right now?”
I nod immediately. “Yeah, there is no pressure. When you are ready again. it will be here.”
He smiles faintly and I watch him as he sets the flask on the bedside table. He slides back to the side of the bed that I am on and stretches his hands out to me. I take him in my arms and he rests his head against my chest “I love you so much Dar,’’ he tells me softly.
I hug him close and I feel him relax against me as I whisper “I love you too, baby.’’ He buries his face in my neck and I can feel his tears against my skin as I hold him.
“I’m sorry ’’ he whispers.
“Don’t be. You haven’t done anything wrong.’’ I speak.
He looks up at me and manages a faint smile. The love I have for Jabi is unlike anything I have ever experienced and I will support him through anything he is dealing with and right now, this is a challenge for him.
After a couple of seconds in silence we decide to order room service. I go out of the room while Jabi is having a shower and stop by her room. She opens the door immediately, almost like she has been waiting for me. She manages a faint smile as I walk into the room.
“Have you had anything to eat?” I ask her calmly.
She nods her head immediately and I see the tray on the bedside table. There is a bowl of soup and some toast.
“Bacon and eggs. Oh, and coffee.’’
I smile faintly. “Thank you for this.’’
She waves her hand and I sit down on the chair next to the bed. She walks to the other side of the bed “What is your name?’’ I ask her.
“Liza,’’ she tells me immediately.
“Do you remember all the things Lenny did to you; do you remember anything at all?’’ she asks me calmly.
She shakes her head “I remember the boy in the room. I remember giving him food but everything else is in bits and pieces.”
I smile because I am glad that she doesn’t remember the things he did. I can only imagine what he must have done to her. “I am sorry, I know it must have been hard for you.’’
She nods and we sit in silence for a while. I know what he did to her and unlike Jabi, I do not see a reason why this should be her fault.
She sighs and then she pauses.
“How did Lenny die?’’ she asks me quietly which makes me realize that she knew what happened to him in that room.
“I don’t think you want to know.’’ I tell her softly.
She nods and then she tells me “About a week before I met him. I was supposed to start college. I had my life mapped out; fuck I don’t even know who I am anymore. I don’t know what he did to me.” she covers her hands in her face.
“Just be glad to be okay now.’’ I tell her and I mean it.
She nods “Thank you.’’
I stand up from the chair and I look at her “You are welcome.’’ I smile at her as she looks up at me. “You are going to be okay; I promise you.’’ I tell her.
She manages a faint smile and I walk out of her room.
On my way back to my room just as Jabi comes out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He smiles at me as I walk over to him.
“You can’t stay away from me can you’’ he tells me.
“No, I can’t I am so sorry.’’
He withdraws the towel from his waist and then he looks at me “Can you let me look at you?’’
I smile at him “Why?’’
He grins “Just because.’’ “Oh, is that a bad thing?’’
“No, not at all,’’ he tells me playfully. He leans down and kisses me. His lips linger against mine as he whispers “I am so happy that you are here with me.’’
I smile softly against his lips and I kiss him back tentatively.
“I missed you so much Dar and I am so glad that you are back with me.’’ he tells me softly.
I kiss him again and he wraps his arms around my waist as I lean into him.
“I missed you so much too.’’ I whisper into his lips.
I hold him closer as I kiss and I am glad that he is here with me.
I am glad for the life I have.
Jabi is my win at life.
