Between Both Worlds

Chapter Nine

Alicia stepped out of the hotel and shivered as she stepped out into the cold. She checked her phone to see if there is any nearby taxi, but there wasn't any.

She had to walk a few miles before she could get a taxi. She exhaled and started walking down the road. As she walked she saw a young man who looked like Mr Thompson. He approached her with a smile and introduced himself.

"Hi, I'm Xavier Thompson." He said as Alicia stopped to take a look at him.

"Hey." Alicia said then asked, "Are you related to Mr Thompson?"

Xavier smiled and said, "You mean Zamhar? He is my older brother."

Alicia stared at him and saw the striking resemblance between them. But Xavier has a friendlier and much more calmer expression, making him easier to approach.

"Oh, well, nice to meet you." Alicia said extending her hand for a handshake.

Xavier accepted her hand and they both started moving down the street.

The silence was awkward and there wasn't anything to discuss then Alicia finally broke the silence and asked.

"Are you a vampire too?"

"Yeah." Xavier answered.

"How does it feel knowing that there's an impending danger that you can't fight?" Alicia asked again.

People gawked at them as they walked down the street, they looked like an ideal couple taking a stroll.

"It feels bad, but knowing that someone like you is going to save the world, puts us at ease." Xavier replied after thinking for a while.

"Do you vampires have special powers?" Alicia asked her voice laced with eagerness because she had always wondered what vampires could do.

"We have quite a few things we can do. I can hear your heartbeat for one." Xavier replied as they continued to stroll along the street.

"That's great. I wish I could hear heartbeats without using a stethoscope, then I would be a formidable doctor." Alicia said with a smile and Xavier laughed lightly.

As they approached the bus stop Alicia stopped and said, "I will stop here, thank you for the walk. I enjoyed our conversation. My graduation is coming up soon and I would love it if you attend."

Xavier nodded and Alicia entered the bus, he stood in the same position till the bus left and was out of sight before heading home.

Alicia got to school a few minutes past nine pm, Emily was already in the room.

"You're back." Emily said looking up from the book she held.

"Yeah, they are in their hotel room resting. I didn't want to disturb so I left early." Alicia said taking of her coat and putting on the hanger.

"That's nice. My Aunty and uncle also arrived and are staying in their house at hill view estate." Emily said unenthusiastically.

Emily's parents died long ago, her mum died immediately Emily was born and her dad died a few months later. She was left in the care of her paternal uncle.

Her parents were real estate developers before they died and they had a lot of money which they willed to Emily, but her uncle hijacked everything and left her with nothing.

They enjoyed every luxury they could and buying a house in hill view estate was one of them. Thanks to the reputation of her parents they could easily get any property they want without any hindrance.

"It's a really expensive estate. It must have cost a fortune." Alicia said sitting on her bed and leaning against the head board.

"They don't mind spending money as long as it benefitted them, my cousin who is graduating wants to gain the favor of one big business tycoon, Mr Thompson I think, yeah that's his name." Emily said.

As Alicia head that familiar name she quickly turned look at Emily.

"Mr Thompson?" Alicia asked as if she didn't hear it the first time.

"Yeah Mr Thompson, I heard he was in the school today. Too bad I didn't get to meet him, all the girls were talking about how handsome he is. My cousin wants to meet him so she can seduce him like she always does. He owns hill view estate and anytime he comes to country S for a business, he stays at his mansion there till he leaves." Emily chattered away and Alicia listened trying to gather information.

Emily took her silence for fatigue and wished her good night as she turned to sleep.

Alicia wished her back as she also turned to sleep, Alicia tried so hard to sleep but her thoughts kept wandering to Zamhar, she has only met him twice but she couldn't seem to stop thinking about him and it was beginning to get annoying.

She tossed and turned before finally getting some sleep and she had a dream.

In the dream Alicia saw Zamhar and she was laying on his bed while he was walking towards her while seductively and slowly taking of his shirt.

Alicia was in underwear alone and Zamhar who had finished taking off his clothes walked over and climbed the bed, Alicia could see that devilishly handsome face that stood out in the dark. It was as if he owned the darkness.

He grabbed Alicia's throat and started kissing her fiercely. The kiss was hot and kept getting deeper. His hands trailed from her neck and grabbed one of her breasts and Alicia moaned loudly.

He unhooked her bra and his kiss came down to her chest he placed his mouth on one of her n*****s and sucked hard. Alicia went crazy. Her moans became louder.

Alicia's nails dig into his back as she pulled him closer to herself.

"Zamhar please, mmmm, oh god Zamhar." She moaned as it was beginning to get too hot for her to endure just as he was about to proceed Alicia woke up with a start.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead. The dream was so vivid it made her cheeks flush red, she grabbed the jug near her and poured herself a glass of water she gulped it down in a go and poured herself another glass and she still gulped it down.

But it didn't stop her heart from racing wildly in her chest. This was too much for her. Her hands went between her legs and she felt the moisture she covered her face with the blanket and cursed inwardly.

She tossed and turned a few more times before finally falling asleep, this time with no dreams.
