Chapter 158: How Vincenzo Met Glory (Part-2)

~~~Vincenzo’s thoughts continued ~~~~~

Vincenzo was a noble, but everyone knew he was far from being a gentleman, at least not to humans.

When he saw the girl picking up the goggles and placing them back, he gulped, shocked at his own behavior and desire to see her eyes again.

"What did you apply on my forehead? It’s healing already and without blood," Vincenzo was surprised when he saw his forehead in the lake water.

"The herbs that I am sure any vampire doctor would be well aware of," She said before she sat back down and pulled her legs to her chest.

"You reek of blood. Did someone attack you?" Vincenzo sat close to her, finding it strange that she was still not flinching away from him.

"When you live among wolves, you are bound to get wounded," she smiled.

"What is that -"

"Sir, the car is ready," Vincenzo heard his subordinate from some distance, and he nodded dejectedly before standing from his place.

"What’s your name, human? Just asking so that I won’t have to call you that rudely again," Vincenzo asked.

"Don’t worry. You probably won’t see me again," she paused before sighing.

"It’s Glory," The girl said, without turning to him, and Vincenzo nodded at himself.

Oh, we surely will meet again. I don’t let people, who pique my interest, go easily. promised to himself.

He left the forest that day, but soon it became his habit to go to that forest. Deep inside, he knew he was looking for that particular girl only.

The girl with a beautiful personality and boundaries. The girl who was not scared of death, and had a heart made of gold.

He went there for 15 consecutive days and was about to give up on seeing her when he saw her again.

Same area. Same outfit. If he hadn’t known she was a human, he would’ve mistaken her for a witch because she looked exactly the same from that day.

He walked to her and thanked her with a new pack of cookies that he carried with him daily.

She had asked him if he poisoned the snacks, and for the first time in years Vincenzo laughed so loudly at her innocent question.

"Don’t you remember your words? If I want to kill you, I don’t need these toys and definitely not these snacks," He said, making her hum.

That’s how their friendship started. He never asked her to show her face, and strangely, she never asked him about his name or identity.

Vincenzo liked it that way. Most people come to him because of his royalty, so it was like a fresh breeze that there was someone who didn’t care about that.

Mr. Vampire. That’s what she used to call him. It wasn’t love, but he surely built something with her.

He started telling her when he would go to missions and when he would return, going to the extent of offering her a phone so they could be more updated with each other’s schedule, but she denied it.

The only means to communicate with her was that lake and forest. Vincenzo knew something was wrong with this girl. He used to go there every day in hopes of meeting her if he wasn’t on the mission, but she used to come occasionally.

And every time he saw her there, she reeked of blood. No part of her skin was visible, but the scent of fresh blood always lingered in the air. Maybe that was the reason she covered herself because she didn’t want anyone to see her wounds.

It continued for almost a year. Their silent friendship with no personal information shared.

Vincenzo was planning to make a move and ask her what was wrong with her, but one year ago, she stopped coming to the forest. He went there for months in the hope that she would turn up there at least once, but she didn’t.

He wanted to look for her, but what description could he use? He asked his man to look for Glory in the human kingdom, but every girl with the name he met was different.

That’s how he came to the conclusion that his friend was probably dead.

Vincenzo sighed and looked out the balcony at the fountain.

His hands trembled when he heard Sebastian’s wife today, and to say she was human too.

As selfish as he knew he was sounding, one part of him wanted it to be her because that way he would know that she is alive at least but the other part of him wanted her to be someone else.

Glory can’t be Sebastian’s wife. She shouldn’t be.

That girl probably suffered most of her life, he didn’t want her to get paired with a monster. But then again, Sebastian was married to a royal princess.

There was no way Glory was royal. She acted nothing like those people who were only greedy and thirsty for power, despite what they were doing to their people.

Vincenzo nodded at himself in relief before he walked to his desk.

He unlocked his drawer where he keeps the most important things and pulled out the letter. The letter he had written for Glory a year ago.

"Dear Glory,

I know this isn’t like me to write a letter. It surprised me too. Don’t laugh or smile. It will make it more embarrassing. I honestly don’t know how to do it.

Do we first write about our feelings and good things? Or do we get straight to the point? The only letters I have written are threatening, and I am sure that’s not how you write a letter to your friend.

Pardon my manners, but let me get straight to the point.

This letter can turn our meeting into the last meeting too, but I needed to get this out of my chest. This is something I have been trying to say for a long time.

Come with me, Glory. Run away with me or whatever you humans call it.

I mean it from every cell in my body. I know you are bullied at home or wherever you live, and it aches my heart to think that. Do you think just because you hide your body well, I don’t smell the blood on you? I do, and it shatters my heart. If you are worried about where you’ll live, don’t. You will live with me. And if you don’t like it, I’ll give you a separate place too.

Don’t think I am pitying you. I am not. This is a selfish decision to keep you close to me. This friendship has grown on me, and I can’t get enough of our occasional meetings. I need you with me to keep me sane.

I know what I am saying might sound strange to you. I am not in love with you if that’s what you are worried about. Your warning about not falling for you had been clear to me from day one, but is love in friendship not allowed?

I... I like this friendship, Glory. And this means the world to me. You came into my life like a hurricane, and now you are that calming sunlight in winter that I need to keep myself warm.

This might be a bit too rushed, but it’s not like we meet every day that you have to reply to me immediately. Think about it, but just don’t take too much time. I’ll be waiting for your answer in the same spot every day.

Not yours lovely, but truly,

Mr. Vampire,"

This was what he had written for her.

But he never got the chance to give it to her, and probably the words he wrote turned true.

He never met her again.
