Gloom Chapter 264
A while later, when I finished eating and drinking my only beer, Nat took me to see the second floor. As I climbed the stairs next to the entrance, I could see that there were two rooms that seemed to be quite spacious, and at the back, in the corner facing the patio, there was a balcony. The location seemed unusual to me, but when Nat took me there, I understood what made it special.You could see the backyard, large and beautiful, with a grass that seemed very well maintained, a hammock like the one I had at home and a small round table with chairs. Of course, from the balcony you could see even the sky. I assumed that, on nights where the moon was clear, the view must be beautiful."Hey..." Nat murmured cautiously, leaning on the wooden railing that made it impossible for us to fall down. And, well, moving away a little from everything supernatural and that..., how are you doing? How do you feel?The change of subject made me happy, on the one hand, because of the concern he expres

Now I did laugh hard, so much so that it surprised me myself.A few seconds later, an eerie ice in the air let me know that Khaius was behind us, even though I didn't hear him get up.—Amy, will you come with me? —She asked, making a shy gesture with one hand.I looked at Nat with confusion written all over my face, but she just smiled in response. So I silently followed the demon down the hallway, where the two rooms were separated by an empty space. We passed the first one, and he opened the door to the second one.“Come in,” he said when he turned on the light, giving me a warm smile.-And that? —I asked when I was inside, frowning—. Will Nat live with someone else? Will you live with her? —Unintentionally, my last question sounded somewhat alarmed.Serious.—And why would we have separate rooms? "Him," she shook her head, still smiling. This one is not for me.-So? —I asked cautiously, somewhat suspicious of her expression. She wasn't used to seeing him so happy.—Well, she would

How could I continue with my life as always, if every time I came home the memory of him brought me down?I rolled over on the mattress, and my gaze focused on the black rose that still rested, perfectly healthy, in the thin vase it had been in since Azazziel gave it to me. I didn't understand how it hadn't yet withered, and the slight suspicion that perhaps it was something more than a simple flower made with demon blood made me feel strange and insecure. The grief from a few moments ago was beginning to take over my insides, gaining a little more ground with each second.With my eyelids closed, I threw a roll between a blanket, I let the tiredness engulf me. The day would have ended like this, in a nostalgic way..., if it had not been for the fact that, suddenly, a cold and chilling halo took over the atmosphere of my room.A presence that I knew so well, that I didn't need to open my eyes to confirm that it was him .An almost imperceptible half smile appeared on my face, as I noti

An annoying screeching sound snapped me out of my unconsciousness.I clenched my eyelids tightly, trying to stretch myself. The insistent noise was annoying, and I couldn't understand where it was coming from until the lethargy finally managed to leave—with difficulty—from my system. And finally I was able to recognize that it was my cell phone alarm.I reached over to turn it off, still with my eyes closed. A groan of laziness reverberated in my chest, half annoyed when the voice of my conscience ordered me to get up to go to work.I was too hot. Her hair was stuck to the back of her neck and, at first, I didn't understand why she felt so suffocated. After several minutes fighting my desire to continue sleeping—somewhat late—I was finally able to feel and be aware of the foreign weight that surrounded my waist.A spark of confusion set off the alarm inside me, and what was left of the numbness in me ended up disappearing. Then, I realized that the intense heat was emanating from some

«It's not just the fact that he's sleeping. It's just that she is sleeping WITH YOU . The words echoed in my mind and circled, settling so I could understand the undercurrent of what that meant.And suddenly, a warm, disconcerting feeling took over my chest. Just a couple of days ago he had told me that he didn't dare sleep with anyone, because he didn't trust anyone enough to be able to neglect his safety like that. But now he was there, with me, in such a vulnerable position that, had he wanted to and been able, he could have done anything to harm him, no matter how minimal.An idiotic smile appeared on my face. I couldn't stop the excitement from running through my system as if I were a child discovering something wonderful for the first time.An unintelligible murmur escaped his lips, but I couldn't tell what he was trying to say. The arm around my waist pressed me closer to him, and then a shiver of panic ran through me when I felt his entire body excessively close to mine. I tri

“You can continue sleeping,” I suggested, with a slight hint of insecurity in my voice. It doesn't bother me.The denied. He pulled back to look me in the eyes and smiled lasciviously.—You couldn't believe how tempted I was to join you in the shower.Quickly, I felt my face turn red."I'm sorry you couldn't rest longer," I mumbled in an effort to divert the topic.—Don't worry, I slept a lot more than I usually do. —Her smile deepened—. As if your presence had helped me rest.A strange but pleasant warmth grew in my chest.—I also sleep better with you. —I shied away from his sight because of the slight embarrassment that came over me—. I don't have nightmares when you're here.-Really? —More than seeing, I could feel how a new smile, full of sufficiency, was drawn on her face.I nodded.—You are better than runes at warding off nightmares.I felt the blood pool in my cheeks, but I didn't care. He leaned closer to my ear."And it would be much more efficient if I exhausted you until

—I'll be here whenever you want me.As impossible as I may have believed, it managed to mitigate the anxiety that had clung to me. Her hands cupped my face and she pressed her lips to mine in a vehement movement that caught me off guard.-Can I see you today? —She asked when the caress ended, with an inflection bordering on enthusiasm.It took me a couple of seconds to respond. I wasn't used to him asking me first; Generally he imposed his interests and selfishness before my desires."If Akhliss and Khaius don't find me before you, I don't see why not."A defiant smile spread across his face."I'll make sure that's not the case," he said, narrowing his eyes in an expression that was meant to be frightening, but that touched me.Unable to help it, the emotion made my lips curl into an expression of joy, before he kissed me again.I couldn't remember the last time I came to work with an idiotic smile. A while ago—what now felt like a long time ago—I used to make fun of girls who were so

I suppressed a laugh. Diana had called none other than a true demon a hottie , and that seemed so ironic to me. On the other hand, she hoped Azazziel hadn't paid attention to her, since her ego was already big enough to feed him even more.Something in my expression made his eyes widen, which sparkled with a brightness that I couldn't interpret, and then his smile widened.-You're in love? "She," she asked with too much exaltation.The question threw me off balance. I couldn't help but feel nervous, upset , worse than if they were pointing a gun at me.Astonishment and panic invaded me, my mind went blank and I didn't know how to respond. I looked at her, aware that Azazziel was nearby and that he was perfectly capable of hearing us...So I started backing away.“Bye, Dee,” I said, walking in reverse.A look of exaggerated indignation took over his face.-You are not going to answer me?!-See you tomorrow. —I forced a smile.I turned my back on him to cross the street. I thought I hea
