MATED TO THE VAMPIRE KING SON Chapter 90

Christie's POV

Since I told Freda what I saw I have been feeling bad, I mean what I saw could break up her family, I did not know why I did not think about it before I spilled.

Sighing, I moved the trolley out of the dining area. I noticed Keiran and Amelia were staring at each other flirtatiously. I don't know how it was not obvious for everyone to see. I got to the kitchen still wallowing in my thoughts and I didn't realize I had bumped into someone until I felt strong arms holding me up.

"Are you okay?" I heard and the blood in my body froze. That voice belonged to Lady Agatha's son, Elijah, he was here? My eyes shot up immediately and I stepped away quickly from his embrace, feeling embarrassed, I stared at my feet as I apologized.

"I-I am sorry I didn't see you there," I said and he chuckled.

"I am beginning to think you have the knack for bumping into me, but it is alright. I hope you didn't get hurt, that trolley must have pressed back on you," he said and I couldn't help but smile, asking if I was okay, this was the second time I was bumped into him, and he always asked about me first.

"I am alright, I should be asking if you are fine," I said, still staring at my feet. Ever since we met last time I had been dreaming nonstop about him, and they weren't nice dreams. A wave of embarrassment suddenly passed through me and I moved away from him even further.

"Did I do something wrong?" He asked coming near me.

"N-no," I said, shaking my head. I felt like if I looked at him he could tell all that I had been thinking about him and the reason why he hadn't shown up these days. Was it necessary for me to ask him?

"You wouldn't look at me, and now you're putting space between us, that hurts me" At the mention of hurt I raised my head immediately to look at him and I caught a smile on his face.

"Sweet. You are so sweet," he said and I flushed red.

"T-thank you"

"Don't be so polite now. I remembered saying I will have you cook for me again" he said stretching his hand for me to take. I turned looking around trying to make sure nobody was around. I took his hand and he directed me towards the main kitchen, if he wasn't the lady's son I would have wondered how he knew his way around the kitchen so well.

He took a seat pulled another close to him and gave it a soft pat and I frowned.

"Sit," he said, staring at me intensely.

"Y-you want me to s-sit" 

"Did I stutter Christie? Come sit with me" he said, his voice holding an edge that left no room for argument and I found myself placing my bum on the chair.

"But I thought I was to cook for you, I mean there are ingredients left from making breakfast this morning, I could do something for you if you don't want to have the same thing as them," I said jumbling my words and he chuckled. I paused, his voice was sweet but the sound of his voice, when he chuckled, was extremely sexy and it left trails of butterflies in my stomach.

"What is it? Your face is all red" he said and I hid my face immediately with my palm, such a childish move but there was nothing else I could do at that moment.

I felt his hand on my hair, it was there for a while before I realized what he was doing. I had tied my hair up in a bun because I couldn't let it be all over the place while I served at the table, Elijah had loosened the pins I used to hold my hair in place and my hair fell to my shoulder.

"Your hair is beautiful let down like this," he said and I smiled, he couldn't see because I was still covering my face.

"Your mother will have my head If she finds me with my hair down like this in the kitchen," I said and he chuckled, his hand tugged on my covering my face and I dropped it. He was staring at me in a way I couldn't describe and it didn't make me uncomfortable instead it made me feel things I thought I had stopped feeling.

I couldn't keep lying to myself because I wanted this man, I know not yet why he was always good to me, or why he touched and stared at me the way he did but I liked it and I didn't never want him to stop, he made me feel beautiful.

"Trust me my mother is the sweetest woman ever, she is only mean because she needs all of you to do your jobs but when you get to know her you…- you don't believe she's sweet do you?" He asked and I shook my head.

"I didn't say anything, she's sweet" I responded, raising my hand and he laughed out loud.

"If you thought so you would not have that look on your face, but I understand, she is a woman to fear but she is a sweet woman, and not just because she's my mother but because I have watched her with other people," he said and I smiled. The way he talked about Lady Agatha made it sound like we knew two different women, all my hatred towards her kind of lessened, maybe I was going to try to see her from his eyes.

"The audacity to have you seated when breakfast is going on is unnerving!" I heard Lady Agatha say and immediately I rose to my feet, my blood cold as I slowly turned around to meet her gaze.

"Elijah step away from the maid," she said. I didn't spare any moment waiting around for her to chastise me as I hurriedly walked out of the kitchen. I heard Elijah calling out my name but I didn't stop.

His mother was not a sweet woman!
