CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN

Avilla's pov We were back to the house and all I wanted to do was sleep till I couldn't sleep no more. My aunt made good on her words and went back to work. I let her because I realized I couldn't force someone to tell me the truth. It was better to let it come from them than force it and get half of it. I would assume she had a very good reason to keep things from me even when shit is going down so I would be giving her the benefit of a doubt. If she wants to wait till it's that right time then I would respect her decision. I haven't told Camilla that I was back yet, she would see me in school tomorrow or better still she would come see me tomorrow. She would start asking me a bunch of questions and I wasn't ready for that either. We would launch into talk about Rohan and I didn't have the heart to tell her that I was serious about what I said that day. He really should never call me because I wouldn't pick up his call for any reason, he was going to be in the back burner for now. I am tired of the drama and heart ache that came with him. I dropped my back on my bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up, I was glad I got those scones in the morning, they filled up my stomach and I didn't have to order anything for now till I was hungry later. I hopped into shower so I could get rid of the beach smell from my body. It was relaxing and refreshing. I dried my hair with a towel and wore my lounge clothes. I think I am going to read a book and sleep. I need to catch up on my rest. Although I knew I wasn't really going to sleep, I was going to day dream about my new vampire mate and think about him some more. It seems to be all I do ever since I saw him. He was stuck in my head and thoughts. Not that I am complaining. I laid my head on the pillow and one thoughts after the door crossed my mind till I found myself drifting off to sleep. ... It was hours later when I woke up, the house was quiet and deserted and I figured my aunt wasn't back yet. I didn't want to see anyone right now so I refrained myself from texting Camilla to come over. I headed to my art room to paint something that goes with my mood, I got there and I looked around. Seeing all the paintings I did hanging there on the wall, they were beautiful. I looked at the one I did for Rohan and suddenly this undeniable rage surged inside of me, I walked to it, ripped it off the wall and broke it over my knee. It wasn't enough because I kept seeing his face and it made me angrier. I kept hitting it till it was nothing but broken pieces. I sat on the floor and cried a bit, it made my heart break that he couldn't see past his vanity in order for us to be together. I thought of Vladimir and the thought made me smile again. I got to my feet and walked to me easel. I had this sudden urge to paint him so I don't forget what he looks like. He was like an angel under the sun, the sun hit his skin giving him a glow that made his bronze skin come alive. I only saw him once in broad daylight, I could try to draw him and see if I had all his features memorized, I started to sketch, I remembered his vibrant eyes as he looked at me, the confusion in them when he sniffed me as a wolf and the glee in his eyes when he told me I was his mate, it was all committed to my memory. His body like that of a Greek god, like an Adonis. He was built for war, I didn't need to look under his black jacket to notice that he was all muscles and strength. His mouth curved to a smirk when I protested and walked away. I drew all of that, the way his lips parted as he looked down at me, his mate. It only occurred to me that he openly claimed me as his mate without even considering it. The act melted my act and a smile graced my face as I kept sketching. I closed my eyes at some point to imagine his eyes gazing into mine and his lips molded into that sexy smile of his when he tells some joke and he looks at me when I am laughing. It was almost dark when I finished including adding my colors. He was so beautiful, I tried to capture everything about him but I couldn't because he was much better looking in real life. I left it in the middle of the room to dry, I went downstairs to watch a show and order some food. I wanted to call my aunt and check on her but I sensed she was avoiding me and she would come around soon enough. I could call Ben to come hang out but things were tense between us right now ever since that kiss and I didn't want to make myself feel more uncomfortable having that conversation any more than I have to. It was sudden and I can't even think about it right now. I ordered pizza and Chinese food, I could use the pizza tomorrow because I am not going to school, I am going to play ghost for a while.
