Her Freezing Heart

Chapter 27- Amara

I woke up to Steven tightly wrapped around me. He had a tight hold on me but it was very comforting.

How is he even sleeping? He is a vampire right? Well I will ask about it later. The pain is all gone now

but I feel a little weak. I don’t want to wake him up but I have to. I can’t move… at all.

“Steven.” I called out. He didn’t even move an inch. “Steven” He just groaned and buried his face in my

neck. “Steven wake up.”

He didn’t. I turned in his arms to face him with a lot of difficulty I may add. My body feels sore. I am still

a little red in places. Okay all over the body. I look sun burnt. Steven’s face was so close to mine when

I turned around that couldn’t help myself but blush. He is beautiful to look at. I want to kiss him so bad.

Too close. My nose is touching his. I closed the distance and planted my lips on his. I was about about

to pull back when Steven’s fingers took a hold of my face and flipped me on my back with him hovering

over me. The next thing I know he was kissing me passionately. I kissed him back with the same

intensity. We pulled away after sometime and he grinned at me.

“Good morning.” He greeted pecking my lips.

“Good morning.” I replied smiling at him.

“You feeling good?”

“I feel a lot better. All thanks to you.”

“I am glad you are feeling better. You don’t need to thank me though.” He said frowning.

“Steven why are you helping me?” I asked curiously.

“Why shouldn’t I help you? It’s not much anyways. I do this everyday just like breathing.” He said

bitterly.

“Hey don’t talk like that.” I said taking his face in my palm. “You are a really good person. I know why

you do what you do. You don’t have a choice at the moment.” I sighed smiling a little. “I wish could heal

you.” I said looking at him in his eyes.

My hands tingled. He gasped. I know what’s happening and surely my hands started to glow. I pulled

him closer, our foreheads touching and closed my eyes. I can feel the power spreading down his head

to where his heart is. I can feel it heal slowly. I can feel the blackness leave his heart slowly. When it

was all gone, I opened my eyes but his were still closed. A couple seconds later he opened them with

tears in them. I wiped them and kissed his forehead.

“Thank you.” He whispered looking straight in my eyes.

“You don’t need to thank me. I did what I can.” I said smiling at him.

“You don’t know what you did for me. I…I… thank you so such.” He broke down into tears and buried

his face in the crook of my neck.

I have never seen him like this before. He is always so uptight. Now he looks so vulnerable. I am so

happy for him. He will be able to start over again. Wait a minute. I just healed him. How the hell am I

still conscious? I felt my head spin. Here it goes again.

“Steven I don’t mean to sound rude or anything but I might pass out for a while. I just wanted to let you

know.” I said to him.

“What?” he said looking at me worried.

“Well it’s no big deal but I usually pass out for a day or two after healing but I don’t feel like I am going

to. I would be out by now if I was.” I rambled.

“Are you feeling okay?” he asked pulling me in a sitting position.

“A little dizzy that’s all.” It took me a moment to see straight.

“How about I run you a bath? You will feel better after that. I will cook something for you while you are

bathing. Stay here. I will be right back.” He said and ran out the room.

I can’t go anywhere anyways. I am one hundred percent sure I will plop on my ass the moment I step

on my feet. I can feel the after effects of healing seeping in. My body is already sore from yesterday’s

events. I blushed at the thought. I had sex for the first time. That too with a hot vampire. I laid down on

the bed as I had no energy in my body to stay upright. Atleast I didn’t pass out this time. Holy shit! I

totally forgot that I am naked. Just on the cue Steven stepped in the room in all his naked glory. I

blushed averting my eyes from him. He is a wonderful sight though. I covered myself with the blanket.

“Come on. Why are you being so shy now?” Steven asked smirking at me. He looked a lot happier

now. “Lets get you to the bathroom.” He said chuckling and lifted me up bridal style with the blanket

around me.

Before that he wore a pair of shorts. Thank the heaven for that. He put me on my feet on the bathroom

floor but I just couldn’t stand straight. My head was spinning madly. He pulled the blanket off of me,

keeping his arm around my waist to stop me from falling. He picked me up and set me in the bath tub

making me sigh in content. The water was of the right temperature. He had put a vanilla flavored bath

bomb in it. It smelled good in here. I leaned my head back an closed my eyes.

“Call for me when you are done. I am in the kitchen.” He said kissing my forehead.

He left the bathroom giving me one last look. He looked worried about me. How did we get from

snarling at each others faces to being so… domestic? Yeah that seems to be the right word. We are

civil to each other and he is taking care of me. How the hell am I going to explain this to Aaron though?

I would have to tell him everything or he will glare the hell out of me. I can’t lose him. I love him too

much. He is my best friend after all. I didn’t want to pull him into this. Seems like I have to now. All

thanks to that bastard of a mate I have. I don’t feel the pain anymore. Well that’s a good news. My

stomach growled quite loudly. Steven came inside the bathroom smirking at me.

“I can hear your stomach howl from the kitchen.” He teased making me blush in embarrassment.

He pulled me out and helped me wash up. I didn’t have any strength in me to feel embarrassed

anymore. He wrapped a towel around me. I am glad he is doing all this. My body feels so weak at the

moment. Healing always takes a toll on me. He carried me to the bedroom and dressed me in his t- novelbin

shirt and shorts after wiping me dry. I just slumped on him. I want to sleep.

“You need to eat first. You can sleep after you have had something in your stomach. I made chicken

soup. I knew you wouldn’t be able to eat solid food in this condition”

I nodded in his chest. I feel groggy. I was on complete auto pilot. Steven carried me to the living room

and sat me on the sofa. He went to the kitchen to get the food. He came back with a bowl of soup in

one hand and a blood bag in the other.

“I hope you don’t mind. I am starving. I don’t want to hurt you accidently.” He said hopefully.

I nodded and smiled at him. Well I tried to smile at him as I had zero energy left in me. I don’t think I

managed to smile at all. Even moving face muscles is a hard job sometimes. He placed the bowl and

the blood bag on the table and sat on the couch beside me. He then pulled me on his lap and started

feeding me with one hand and helped himself to the blood by the other. Surprisingly I didn’t feel

disgusted or anything. The soup tastes delicious though. I felt a little better as I was eating. We were

halfway through our food when the front door suddenly opened. I felt Steven freeze. Who the hell came

between me and my food?

“WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OVER HERE?” Austin shouted before I could turn around making

me wince with the headache that was starting to form.

“Austin please lower your voice. I am having a headache here.” I mumbled.

I knew he heard me with him being a vampire and all. I opened my mouth for more soup and Steven

fed me a spoonful. After finishing every last drop of the soup I rested my head on Steven’s chest and

closed my eyes. I felt his arms go around me, making me sigh. Before I can enter the dream world a

very angry Austin interrupted my bliss.

“Now would be a great time.” He more like snarled at us from right beside the couch.
