Human Blood

VIII - Innocence

THIRD PERSON

If she and Lexus would always be together, then they would mistake her as his servant. How? For even if Songnara is beautiful, his handsomeness is just way too extreme.

It was then afternoon when the rain stopped, so now is the time for Lexus' job to finish.

Just when they opened the gate, Aling Minay welcomed them with a brow raised.

“Oh gosh, you two. Look at yourselves, you both are soaked. You guys should've brought an umbrella so that the both of you didn't get this much wet.” She scolded them with the sound of her voice increasing.

“Sorry, we didn't know that it'll rain that's why we didn't get to bring an umbrella. We are now about to go home for both of us to change clothes.” Songnara said, asking for permission, and immediately, Minay agreed, but then, someone inside the hacienda shouted.

“My my, you guys should change your clothes here. I still have extra clothes for you, Songnara, and for Lexus, he can take Father's clothes.” Snow shouted as she was coming out of the hacienda to face them.

Straightaway, Songnara rolled her eyes without them noticing.

Snow doesn't want Lexus to go home yet, well... That's what Songnara thought to be the reason. Plus, it isn't impossible because, even earlier, she didn't want Lexus to go.

“But Señorita, Señora might get mad if you let them in.” Aling Minay told Snow with such nervousness for she might be the one who would be scolded for such immediate decisions.

“And why would a mother do that? Come on, you two.” Snow added with joy while pulling Lexus, they didn't get to do anything but follow and be taken by her for her position in life is higher than them.

Stepping inside Snow's house, you can see how wealthy her family is, they have chandeliers above which give light to their things inside, and as for the floor, there are carpets placed around.

In one look, you'll already see that the people living here have a luxurious life.

Amazement is what wrapped Songnara's eyes 'cause it's her first time stepping in a hacienda, their life is just so luxurious and as for them, they only have a small house in which she is more used to seeing.

For Lexus, he secretly got irritated for what Snow did, it isn't new to him to have such a house. For him, this house is too little for they have a house like this too, the difference is, Lexus' house is much bigger with more costly furniture than Snow's.

Lexus only stared at Songnara who's amazed by how beautiful it is, perhaps this is her first time seeing such a house. Next time, Lexus would want to bring Songnara to their mansion, surely she'll be more amazed and happy.

Lexus then shook his head for what he had thought, there isn't any next time for they won't be meeting again, he shouldn't be concerned about Songnara.

Add the fact that his time is running out for he spent it here instead of finding the girl in the prophecy, he needs to find the girl to get the power that he wants.

If that happens, will he finally be with Amelie?

“Lexus, the bathroom is there, you can take a bath. I'll just quickly get father's elegant clothing.” Snow said and her eyes shifted from him to Songnara.

“And for you, I have lots of clothes that I don't use, I'll let you borrow one.” She sneered at her.

Girls really do change, when it's about a guy so handsome as Lexus. Just like a wild lion to a puppy that you'd pity.

Songnara couldn't help but shake her head when Snow walked out, squatting, she quietly whispered to Lexus.

“Now you see? Señorita Snow likes you for her features quickly change.” She then pulled Lexus to the bathroom that Snow pointed out.

Two of the bathrooms were in front of each other, right away, Songnara pointed the man that says 'Man'.

“Go the ‘Man’ and I'll go to the ‘Woman’ because there is no man without a woman.” She said which made Lexus weakly laugh.

Even though he's a vampire, he wouldn't forget about the things he had learned, especially their genders and which bathroom to go in.

When Songnara heard his laugh, she immediately turned her head towards him.

“That's a miracle, this is the first time that I've seen and heard you laugh, can you do it one more time? Plus, what I said is the right thing.” She said and pouted to look cute in front of Lexus but it only made her look like a kid who got candy stolen from her.

“I know, silly. It's just like knowing what my s*x is and you shouldn't have told me where to go, I'm not an idiot.” Lexus answered with an accent as he talked, Songnara's jaw then dropped for what he said was true.

“What, s*x?” Songnara jokingly said, he then came closer and closer to her.

“Why, do you want it?” Lexus shot back, which made Songnara take more steps backwards for she didn't know how she'll speak next, Lexus was only looking at her lips as if it was attracting him.

Songnara couldn't breathe much, not because of her joke, but for thinking about how close they are to each other.

Later on, Songnara cracked laugh and spoke so that she could be free from Lexus' hands on either side of her which was the reason for being cornered.

“I'm just kidding, can't you get a joke?” She nervously said and slightly tapped Lexus.

They then heard Snow coming so they fixed themselves while Lexus was only looking at Songnara.

Snow came back with clothes for the two of them, she gently gave the clothes for Lexus and as for Songnara, Snow badly looked at her while giving Songnara her clothes.

“Here are the clothes for both of you.” She said and Songnara happily accepted them, it can easily be noticed that the clothing Snow gave her is from another country but it has a few dirt, maybe because of it just being stored.

Perhaps, Snow doesn't wear it because there are lots of other beautiful clothes other than this, compared to the ones that Songnara has that her grandmother sews.

Songnara thanked Snow and she nodded her head, Lexus and Songnara going straight to the bathrooms when Songnara suddenly slipped, she waited for the impact, but it never came, she didn't feel any pain.

Slowly, she opened her eyes and saw Lexus' face so close to hers, feeling his hands on her waist.

Quickly, Songnara stood up when Snow cleared her throat, she looked at Snow'a features that meant that she's pissed off.

Instead of getting scared, she laughed because of Snow's reaction of wanting to kill at any time. Even though Lexus was confused, he followed Songnara's laughter.

She slightly flipped her hair and had completely gone inside the bathroom but before that, she spoke, “Thank you, Mr. Ill-tempered man.” and with that, she completely was about to close the door when he said, “Be careful next time” that makes her blushed.
