36 You used to call me as Liam

ASUNA

When Haru asked me to dance, both dad and Luke gave him a sidelook. Daddy came forward and said, "My little girl's first dance will be with me, Obviously". Then he bowed and extended his right hand. I shot a reassuring look at Haru and then took his hand.

We both walked to the dance floor, I felt most of the peoples eyes on us. He is the Vampire head and I'm his lovely daughter..... His steps were so steady and smooth, he must have been dancing for a century by now. After a while, the song was changed and Luke took over from my daddy.

Then Haru cut in for the next song, I chuckled and said, "Finally your chance ah?" He smiled charmingly and said, "Yep! Finally!" It was a bit fast song, we moved a little faster than before. I stepped on him twice and his face twisted a little while I chuckled.

He said looking into my eyes, "You know I love you, right?" My eyes widened on hearing it, Okay that was unexpected! He then called, "Little lady?" Then I focused and nodded at him, then he said, "It may be and attraction to master or a sire thing. But I have to say my feelings to you when I have the chance.

He looked into my eyes, those turquoise eyes concentrating one me and then he continued, "You have no idea, How much I want to reborn as a human or a Vampire or anything that lives on earth so that I could be with you".

My cheeks are burning up I can feel it. I asked him out of curiosity, "Why can't we be together as who we are now!" His gaze softened and said, "Yeah, I wish too. But it's not possible. We can have physical and mental pleasure but in reality, I am just an form of energy".

I smiled and said, "We can work.... things out together. You know... like...." He shook his head and said with pain in his eyes, "Your heart doesn't belong to me. Your are just attached to me as I was with you from the start. You don't love me the way I do".

I tilted my head as I leaned closer to him and said, "Things can change, Haru". He nodded and said, "Yeah! Things can change but you have to go through him first so that you might clean up some space for me!" I looked at the direction of Haru's gaze.

I led to man standing in one the other end who is looking at us. My eyes are attracted by the gravity in his amber iris. My God! his warm mocha colour hair dancing in the wind, while few fringes fall upon his eyelids.

He stood rooted to the ground without moving his slender legs. But his fair long fingers which was holding a wine glass inbetween it, moved the glass to his pale rosy lips.

The look in his eyes were narrow and dark like he is waiting to hunt me down. The Black tailored suit with a white shirt and red tie he is wearing suited his figure so well. The way he is looking at me makes my knees go weak. It's been years since I felt like this.

This feeling was given by Liam once and the same one who is looking at me now like I'm his prey.

My poor eyes couldn't retract from him at all, "So that's him ah?" When I heard the voice, I turned my head to find Bezek dancing with me. I don't know when he started dancing with me, I looked around for Haru, but I couldn't find him. He must have been upset while I was drooling over Liam.

When I looked for Liam, I couldn't find him either. Bezek cleared his throat then I smiled at him apologetically. I concentrated and danced with him, followed by Bruce. After some five dances, I left the dance hall and started to look for Haru.

There is a beautiful garden nearby. It extended to some meters and after that deep forest was present. As I walked through the garden, I saw few rows of lavenders on the left side. I rushed to it and inhaled its scent.

"Always a fan of Lavender ah?", a voice came from the behind. Hearing the familiar voice, I was startled but slowly turned around to meet the man. I pursed my lips first and then shrugged my shoulders. Then I said in a low voice, "Always Lavenders!"

He chuckled lightly, God I can feel my heart beat rise. He walked towards me and I took a step back instinctively. He frowned and said, "Actually, I'm the one who is supposed to be afraid of your pretty fangs". I smiled when I heard 'pretty fangs'.

I asked him back, "Still the sweet talker, Lord Brookeswile?" When I looked at his eyes his gaze darkened like he was under some great pressure. He said staring into my eyes, "You used to call me as Liam". I smiled awkwardly and said, "You said yourself, 'used to'!"

LIAM

Why is she saying that? I'm clearly telling her to call me Liam again. Is her EQ this low? I looked at her clear gaze again and said, "You can call me Liam, My lady". She averted her gaze immediately, which means she still has something for me.

She nodded her after few seconds and said, "I have to go, I'm looking for someone!" Is it someone who danced with her. Who were those three guys? Should I ask her? She looked at me patiently like she is waiting for my approval.

I said to her, "I can also help you". Her lips curled up a bit and she looked down then she said, "Its okay, Liam. I can do it myself". She walked past me, I took her wrist as an reflex. Her eyes fell on mine, with anxiety. I asked her more like demanded her, "Who were those three guys?"
