Alex's POV
It's been three hours, three fucking long hours since I saw Maya. She is upstairs in my room studying for her exam on Monday. At first I said she should come tomorrow and get some studying done at Lily's house tonight but she convinced me otherwise.
I wanted her to study tonight because I have something planned for tomorrow. We have our one month anniversary. I have learned through the years that it's very important to keep track of these things. Some girls really like it when you remember dates like these.
I am actually really excited but I wish it was under different circumstances though. I would have liked to fly her out for a weekend get away but I guess I should work with what I have.
At one point during the night I was upstairs on my floor reading a book but I was distracted with Maya's breathing. All I wanted to do was kick that door open and hold her. And by keeping my promise, which I now regret by the way, I made the decision to come sit downstairs.
I haven't seen Maya all week. Ok I did see her for a quick cuddle after school every day but it wasn't longer than an hour. So to say I am frustrated sitting here alone with my thoughts while my girlfriend is upstairs in my bedroom, is an understatement.
We are alone tonight, not that anything would happen but just having some alone time with her is what I need.
Believe me, these last couple of weeks my sweet innocent Maya has turned into something that I have fantasies about. The sexual tension is on another level. Every time we have a passionate make out session, I can feel her body wanting more, her heartbeat is racing and the smell of her arousal makes my head spin.
It takes everything inside me to stop. To stop me from ripping off her clothes and kiss every part of her body. It is literal torture.
I would give anything to make her tremble beneath me but I can't.
Not when she doesn't know everything. Being intimate will put us on a whole other level. So she has to know everything first.
But how do you tell a girl who is so sweet and innocent, that sex with a vampire isn't exactly normal. That having sex means I have to mark her and that means I have to drink from her.
She already thinks I am going to kill her. So telling her that would definitely freak her out.
I have tried to hide everything about me though. I am afraid that if she sees anything relating to me being a vampire that she will freak out. So I have made it a habit not to drink blood in front of her. I actually use the stairs in the house rather than jumping up to my floor. I don't read her mind anymore, not that she would know but I don't trust my mouth about letting it slip someday.
So I try to keep it from her, especially now. She has to focus on school. She doesn't need drama right now.
Regarding my special diet; It isn't going great. My body is weak, I don't have the strength to do anything. It takes longer for me to heal and my skin is so fragile.
Marcelo is enjoying this way to much for my taste. He has been jumping at me every chance he gets. He knows I am weak and he takes advantage because he knows this is the only time he will beat me in a fight.
I actually have a couple of bruises on my waist from yesterday. We had a little battle out by the lake and I was flung into a tree. It wasn't that fun for me.
"Alex" I hear the soft whisper from my mate upstairs. My immediate concern makes me jump up and sprint to my bedroom door.
I slowly open it up and see her laying down with her head on her arms looking at me. "Can I take a break?" she whispers but she knows I can hear her.
I can see in her face that she is so tired and it makes me sigh. I walk up to her kneel down beside her chair. "I think you are done for tonight. You can study again tomorrow."
"I think my brain is fried" she whispers with no emotion on her face.
Yep she is done.
"How about I run you a nice bath and you can relax while I make you something to eat?" I say with a sweet smile as I run my hand up and down her arm.
"I am not hungry but I will never say no to a bath" she grins.
"Come on baby, you have to eat. You haven't eaten anything since you got here? " I frown.
She sighs and turns her head away looking down to her lap. "Ok"
"Thank you" I say standing up to leave a kiss on her head before I walk to the bathroom.
I open up the tap and pour in some of the bubble bath that she likes. I don't ever take bath but since she loves it so much, I made sure there are all kinds of things for her to use.
I sit down on the edge of the bath tub and check the temperature every few seconds.
I hear her lazy feet dragging her across the room towards me and I smile when I feel her arms sneak around my neck from behind. "I don't deserve you" she whispers laying her body against my back.
"Are you saying I am a keeper?" I smirk.
"Oh absolutely" she laughs and kisses my cheek down to my neck. I close my eyes and enjoy her lips on me. "But mainly because of this bath tub" she chuckles and moves away.
"I didn't think it was for anything else" I laugh and shake my head but I know she is joking though.
I turn the water off after feeling satisfied with it. I turn my head and hear Maya in my closet. She actually has her own clothes but she loves to sleep in mine, which I am totally fine with by the way. I love my clothes on her too.
She comes back a few seconds later with some sweats and a hoodie in her hands, clearly looking satisfied with her choices.
If it were up to me, I would want her without any clothes.
"Don't fall asleep ok" I stand up and wrap my arms around her small waist. She gives me a small smile and rest her head against mine.
"Can we watch a movie?" she whispers looking at me.
"Isn't that what Friday's are for?" I joke and it earns me a soft giggle.
She lifts her head and gives me a kiss. I rub down her back and it makes her moan, not because of the kiss, definitely not that. She pulls away and arches her back into my hands.
Her head falls to my collarbone and I continue to rub her back. Her body it probably aching from three hours of sitting down.
"Maya, quickly take a bath then I will rub your back before you sleep" I whisper and kiss the top of her head.
"Ok. Thank you for my bath. It looks amazing" she lifts her head and kisses me again.
This time I can feel the appreciation in her kiss. It's much more deeper and passionate. But just as her tongue starts to roam my lips for entrance I smile and pull away.
"Maya stop" I giggle and kiss her a few more times just to show I don't really want to stop. "Call me if you need anything ok?"
"Ok" she smiles and leaves me with another quick peck.
I make my way out the bathroom and close the door to give her some privacy.
After I made her some pasta, I also made her some tea. I learned that she likes tea before bed, it helps her sleep and tonight she is going to need it. I can tell she is stressed about this test. I know she is the top student in the school and she already basically passed without writing the test but she wants to end on a good note.
