“Dave, my chef said you haven’t eaten since I left and I figured you will be hungry,”


    He said holding up a spoon, I took it from him and sat next to him on the sofa.


    “That’s very considerate of you, I forgot I haven’t had anything to eat all day,”


    I said taking a bite of the food, it tasted really good and I just couldn’t stop eating until I emptied the te, I looked at him after I was done eating to see him watching me, I felt embarrassed.


    “Thank you for the food,”


    I said looking away from him, his eyes were too intimidating for the current state of my mind.


    “You are wee, I am d I didn’t have to force you,”


    He said and before I could ask him what he meant by that, he stood up and took the empty tes.


    “I just came to feed you, please take a rest now that you are fed, goodnight,”


    He said and walked out before I could say any other word to him.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    I was able to get some sleep that night even though I spent most of it tossing and turning, the next morning when I woke up, I went downstairs after taking my bath and met his housekeeper who told me he left for work already, she showed me to the kitchen.


    A kid was sitting there when I got in, I recognized him immediately I saw him and realized something that I didn’t when we first met, he was a vampire, yeah I could easily tell, Rose said it was one of my gifts, not like acknowledge it, the only gift I wanted wasn’t given to me, I wanted to be able to go back in time so that I can stop my mom from getting pregnant with me.


    “Hi, you remember me?”


    I said to the kid, taking my mind off my train of thoughts and the kid looked at me weirdly, then I remembered he had been unconscious when we had met, of course he won’t remember me.


    “Sorry, my bad, you don’t but we have met before,”


    I said siting opposite him.


    “We have?”


    He asked still looking at me, maybe he was trying to see if I was a threat or not.


    “Yes, we have, the day you fainted, I was there and I even went to the hospital with you and Kendrix, I left before you woke up, I am so d you are okay,”


    I revealed and he nodded without saying anything, I looked at him really well and realized that he looked underweight, Kendrix was rich so howe a kid living with him was looking so malnourished, maybe it was his sickness.


    “My name is Arielyn but you can call me Ari or Ariel, what’s your name,”


    I asked and he was quiet for a long moment, his head bowed down, maybe he didn’t like giving his name to strangers, kids all have different characters and I was used to them because I work with them a lot.


    “Raul,’


    He said softly when I thought he wasn’t going to answer.


    “Nice to meet you Raul, I hope we can get along as I will be living with you for the next one month,”


    I revealed and he looked up at me with interest.


    “Aww, he is cute,”


    Ae chipped in, I smiled, I was d to know she was okay with him even though he was a vampire,


    “That’s because he is cute and looks so alone and harmless,”


    She added and yes, I agreed he looked so alone which made me wonder just what happened to him, I was sure he wasn’t rted to Ken because the king didn’t have another son and most certainly not a teenage vampire, unless he was a distance rtive.


    “Are you Kendrix’s girlfriend or mate?”


    He asked in the same tiny voice he had used the first time.


    “I am neither of those, he is just a friend, what about you? What are you to him?”


    I asked.


    “A pain in his ass,’


    He responded and I decided that I liked the young boy.


    “I think I am that too,”


    I said and watch him rx and even manage a smile, he was super cute but even cuter when he smiled, he had very visible dimples too.


    “So why are you not in school, if you don’t mind me asking that,”


    I asked and he looked down again but not before I saw the sadness in his eyes.


    “You don’t have to answer that if you don’t want to,”


    I added.


    “I guess you came in newly, my family died in a fire and I can’t go back to school because I might die too,”


    The little boy said and I was lost for words.


    “I am so sorry for your loss,”


    I said and he nodded, I wanted to ask him why he thought he would die too but I didn’t want toe across as insensitive so we both just sat there in silence, I thought I had problem but hearing about him losing his whole family at such a young age made my problems pale inparison, I was an adult who can make adult decisions and he is just a child alone in the big bad world, I wish there was a way to make him feel better, and assure him that he wasn’t alone, hopefully, he will meet a lot of people who would love and care for him, I know just how it feels to be alone even though my family are alive.


    Over the next two days, Raul and I kind of bonded, Kendrix introduced us formerly when he got back from work that evening and Raul and I just kind of clicked, it was always just the two of us, since I didn’t have anything to do and I didn’t want to be trapped in my thoughts all day, I yed video games with him and we talked a lot, I cried when I found out how his whole family was killed and my respect for Ken went up even more when I found out what he did, it just proved how much of a good person he is, it was rare to see someone as nice and considerate as him especially in our side of the world, he never even asked me why I was homeless in the first ce, I know a lot of people would have asked from the moment they saw me with my bags but Ken was different, he didn’t ask and he also made sure I felt safe in his house, it was hard not to like him.
