La Cuevas #3: Beautiful Scars

Chapter 8

　　Then they are asking for my opinion? Why? I have no interest in the song, my attention is in their hands. And when they play I can observe their hands properly I want more! I want more, they need to perform more!

　　"Good." I said. Vince and Andrei laughed at my answer and just nailed Sage before they played another song.

　　When I turned my gaze back to Luke without emotion he picked up the guitar again and put on its strap. I focused my full attention on him. I want your veins and blood, Luke. And I will do anything to make you my patient in the practicals.

　　I glanced over at my bed full of presents. And who the hell decided to dump them here? There is a trash can in the kitchen, why did they even think of putting it here?

　　I rolled my eyes and carried one by one the boxes, paper bags and others without wrappers like the ugly and big teddy bear. It's just cluttered in my room e.

　　Scattered on the floor were gifts mostly with branded logos, I came across the paper bag Vincent gave me this morning so I took it out of curiosity. When I opened it there were piercings that glowed beautifully.

　　My face lit up and my eyebrows rose, it’s just my taste. Thumbs up for him. I threw it on the vanity table and looked at daddy and Loren's gift.

　　There is a key to a house in the Royal Village from daddy, and a key to a Mercedes AMG G63 from Loren. It was my dream car that I would have wanted to buy with my own money when I had a job. But because he gave it, it's okay. One thing out of my bucket list then. I'll just look at it tomorrow. I was blown away by the PHLEB kit that is complete and has five more lab gowns included from Celine. At least useful.

　　I put them in the drawer of the bed side table and put away the designer dresses that Lea gave me, I wanted you to throw them away because I wouldn't wear them especially since I couldn't hide my scar then. Luckily Gavin’s gifts are high neck so I can definitely use that. The rest, I'll just give away. Moli would like it for sure.

　　When I remembered Luke I quickly looked for his gift, he saw the useless gifts of Ricci, Sage, and Andrei that were pure make ups but I still could not find Luke's name. That guy, he didn't give me a gift? Not that I am dying for his gift though, if I can't take advantage of it I will throw it away too so I just shrugged and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

　　It was two o'clock in the morning and just before twelve o'clock, the loud guests were exhausted. Sage and Loren with Gavin and the band are still having a drink in the garden. Lea, Celine, Cohen, and dad are already in their respective rooms. We drank earlier but I said goodbye early because I was early tomorrow.

　　When I finished bathing I was wearing a turtle neck sweater and pajamas. I went out to get some water and put it on the bed side table which I always do when I meet Sage who is blushing and apparently taking ice from the refrigerator.

　　"Sage," I called so he quickly turned to me. We're just the people here because the helpers are resting.

　　"Oh, why sister Sadie?" He was sarcastic so I stared at him and pushed him to get bottled water.

　　When I got it, I stepped aside so he could go back to the refrigerator and watched him take the ice.

　　"What is it?" Then he asked again because of the length of time I stared at him.

　　I pursed my lips before answering. "I have something to ask—"

　　"Damn my hands still hurt, can you not see the amount of blood you took from me yesterday? Maybe next week again, not now." He cut off what I was going to say so I raised an eyebrow and almost laughed because his face seemed troubled.

　　"No, not that." I defended and smiled slightly.

　　He raised an eyebrow and stopped what he was doing. He slowly dropped the ice bucket in the refrigerator and faced me.

　　"Uh-hmm?" He asked.

　　"Can I get Luke's number?"

　　Shoot. His previously troubled face seemed to be erased with a twinkle.

　　"Sadie Trinity." He was serious so my shoulders dropped. He took a deep breath and pointed at me with his index finger. "I want to make this clear to you, don't fancy anyone from my band—"

　　"The f**k?" Now I'm the serious one. "I don't like him if that's what you're thinking." I harvested hard so the meeting of his eyebrows was removed and he seemed to be breathing easily.

　　"Then why do you need his number?" This time, he's more calm.

　　"Well .. I saw his arms, and .. you know .." I trailed and his face instantly lit up in joy.

　　"Nice, that's right. He's the only one you're going to talk to and we're all going to rot with the amount of blood you took. Here," I raised an brow when he reached for his back pocket and handed me his unlocked phone.

　　I smirked when I found his number and memorized it for 30 seconds because I don't have my phone with me. I smiled and handed it back to him. I turned my back on him and walked away carrying my water bottle.

　　"Thank you ah!" He shouted from behind me as I was still recalling the numbers in my mind. You're welcome Sage. I smirked.
