going to eat more than just a few pieces of fruit!”
“You know you worry about me too much,” I said munching away in chocolate heaven, which he couldn't help smiling at.
“Actually, when it comes to you, I don't think I worry enough,” He said getting up and positioning himself opposite to get a better view of me eating.
I started playing with my hands after I had finished with my sweet delight and was thinking about how to ask all the questions that I still had floating around my mind.
“You want to ask me something?” Draven said, amused. I just looked up at him in surprise.
“What made you say that?” He nodded down to my hands and I dropped them.
“You always seem to play nervously with your hands or bite your lip when you are nervous or want to ask something.” He said like this was common knowledge and I couldn't believe how much he must have watched me in this short time to know all these little traits I had.
“Well...I was kind of wondering about some other things I still don't know,” I asked sheepishly knowing there was one question that, since last night, had been burned to my brain and it was one thing that I was scared to ask.
“Like?”
“You’re not going to like it,” I warned and he now looked intrigued.
“Well I was curious about Celina, what happened with her and Jack?” I asked thinking I would start off lightly with the interrogation.
“Why would I not tell you that?”
“Because that's just the start,” I warned and he frowned at me but it didn't last long, replacing it with a half-smile.
“Celina is a Demon, one that fell in love with that boy.” Now I frowned at him.
“Sorry...I mean Jack and well it's forbidden as you know.”
“She's a Demon...really? Poor Jack!” I said but considering my past with Jack, Draven didn't look happy with my sympathy.
“Well it seems he got over it!” He said cruelly.
“Don't say that! Jack told me how devastated he was. I mean one day he had the girl of his dreams and the next thing is, she sees you and then poof...gone. He thinks you killed her you know!” I said, but Draven couldn't control the raucous laughter that erupted from him. I had never heard him laugh so much and although I was trying to be angry at his reaction, I couldn't help but love the sound.
“DRAVEN!” I shouted.
“I'm sorry, but you have to see the humour in it, see I was the one that saved her.” He said calming down from his outburst.
“Saved her?”
“She broke the one of our laws. She was going to be punished, when she appealed to my better nature and well since then she has been an asset, proving her worth on my council.”
“OH I bet!” I said being jealous again.
“She makes a good assistant Keira, that's all I meant. It is better for her to be here than cast down to deal with his wrath!” He said pointing to the floor and I shuddered at the thought.
“So you and her...” I said still with my arms folded.
“You know I do find this jealous thing strange...on one hand it is utterly ridiculous and on the other it is also adorable...still completely irrational but adorable all the same.”
“I'm glad you’re so entertained by the whole thing but I am not the only one who gets jealous remember...anyway you didn't answer my question!” I was now going red from that last comment.
“No, I thought I already made that clear.”
“Well she could have been lying, she is after all a Demon.”
“Yes and so am I,” he said getting defensive.
“Yes and look how much lying you did!” I said feeling that maybe I had finally won a round as he gave up with that one.
“Well the answer is still no....next.” Thankfully he was still in good humour but I knew my next question would change that.
“And Aurora?” As soon as I said the name I knew the answer and my heart sank.
“Keira, this is getting out of hand!” He said getting up and throwing his hands up in a dramatic fashion.
“That's not an answer,” I whispered.
“Well that's the only one you’re going to get on the matter!” He said in such a way I knew he would never back down. I had my answer already, I was just minus the details. However I couldn't help the sinking of my heart. I mean how could I ever compete with such beauty?
“Fine! But why didn't Jack
