The Vampire’s Servant novel Chapter 39

Victor and I had a better night than we’d ever had. There was a happier and calmer feeling than before. We’d talked about the growing feelings we had finally. I knew he felt what I did. He was more than my friend.

After I ate and we cleaned up together, we went to the game room. Victor wanted to try the games I told him about. I was excited to play with him. It wasn’t something we’d ever done before.

I showed him the sports games. I thought he might like the tennis or golf and I was right. He saw the boxing game and told me to put it on. It was one of the ones where you used the controllers to move your character’s hands.

He watched me play against the computer and not do very well. Victor had me stop and showed me how to square my body and punch without over extending. The feeling of his hands on my body sent tingles through me.

“Echo, you must focus when you fight. This may be a game, but it’s a good start to your training. I want you to practice every day.” He murmured into my ear from behind me.

I nodded, not trusting my voice to be strong. I needed to get used to him being close. Ever since Marius left, Victor had been closer to me or touching me. I almost giggled at how he seemed to be petting me.

We played for a little longer, but I was starting to get tired. I didn’t want the day to be over so soon. It felt like I’d go to sleep and wake up to realize this was all a dream. I wanted it to be real.

“Victor, do you want to watch a movie with me?” I asked softly.

“When is your bedtime?”

“In an hour and a half. We can just watch a short one.” I offered.

“I suppose we could watch a short movie and if it goes past your bedtime a little, it should be fine. I don’t want this to be a nightly occurrence. Understand?”

I grinned and put the controllers away before picking out a movie and setting it up. It was a musical that Drew picked out. He said he thought older movies and kids’ movies would be the best place for me to start.

Sitting with Victor on the couch, I started the movie. It was called Gigi and about a young girl in France. Gaston reminded me of Victor. Cool and a little bored with everything. I watched the movie happily. I didn’t look away until the end card flashed.

When I looked at him, he was watching me with a smile. It made me blush.

“Did you like the movie?” I asked.

“It was… cute. I remember Paris around that time. You seemed to like it. You smiled through almost the whole thing.” He said.

“I liked the story and the music.” I admitted.

“It’s getting late, princess. Time for you to get ready for bed.”

I got up and stretched. I was more than ready for bed. Victor slipped his arms around me and hugged me close. I relaxed in his embrace.

“We’ll need to teach you how to behave in vampire society. The rules are more simple and obvious than those of turn of the century high society. I’ll make sure you’re ready before we attend any functions.” Victor whispered.

“I’ll to my very best. I promise not to embarrass you.” I swore.

He chuckled. “You could never embarrass me, Echo. You’re learning. If you commit a faux pas, it’s my fault, not yours. I will make sure you know as much as possible. I never want you to feel like you embarrass me. You are the sweetest person I’ve ever met.”

“Even when I’m mean like I was to Gray the other night?” I blushed.

“I thought that was amusing. He was pressing and you were loaded down with a lot of new information. Wolves tend to think that the moon goddess is infallible. Maybe you were meant to be his mate before everything happened. It wouldn’t be her fault if your future was changed by someone else. The more I’m with you, the more I think you’re meant to be mine.”
