I didn't even know what to say to him, and he wasn't saying anything either.
"Wait here, I'll go get water to clean up the wounds" I said about to leave the room when.....
Kaylan pulled me into his arms— hugging me tightly.
"Kaylan" I whispered
"Let me stay like this for a while" he said refusing to let go.
To my surprise, I wasn't pushing him away. Even though we were super close at the moment, he scented like heaven— spicy and clean. The scent of blood made his scent more intoxicating.
Time went by slowly, I felt every single moment pass by. I didn't know what was happening but I felt the urge to hold him.
When I placed my hands on his back, I felt a warm liquid on my hand— it was his blood.
"Kaylan, let's treat your wounds first" I said.
"Then?" He asked
"What"
"If you treat me, would you let me hold you afterwards?" He asked still not letting go
"Kaylan, we have to tend to your wounds"
Why was Kaylan doing this?
"Then let's wait a bit longer" he said pulling me even more closer.
Ohhh, his scent was driving me nuts.
I've never had my body react like this, so I couldn't name what I was feeling at the moment.
I didn't urge him to dress his wounds anymore, I just let him be. I didn't even notice when I close my eyes and let myself draw his scent in.
He finally moved, a quickly opened my eyes and he let me go.
"Thank you" he said.
"It's... It's... You're... Welcome" I stuttered
I felt my cheeks burning up....
"I'll go get the water" I rushed out.
My heart was rampaging against my chest, what was that?
I didn't understand, I took in deep breath and went to get water.
When I went back, I found Kaylan already laying on the bed.
I went to his side and he was asleep, his probably tired due to pain.
I sat beside him, putting the water on the table and cleaned the blood on the table.
The wounds were deep, I wondered what offense would warrant such beating.
I wiped with my most gentle stroke making sure he wasn't hurting him.

Morning light spilled into the room, I fluttered open my eyes, and Kaylan was sitted on the bed watching me.
Ohh noo, i slept on his bed
"Good morning" he smiled at me.
I rushed up, arranging my hair.
"Good morning" I quickly tried to get up.
But I ended up bumping my head into the bed stand.
"Ouch" my held my head.
"Are you okay" he said trying to touch me
I stood up before he could, "I'm alright, I'll leave now" I hurriedly left his room.
My heart is about to explode.
I couldn't understand what I was feeling at the moment.
But I sure wasn't ready for love yet.
So the next few days, I didn't visit the library whenever Kaylan was there and I avoided everyplace I would bump into him
Carlos saw me entering the library snooping around
"Pink hair, why are sneaking around" he tiptoed with me into the library.
"I'm not sneaking" I said arranging my steps.
"Ohhh, well that's good. I was thinking you were a spy"
"I'm not, and where is Kaylan?" I asked
"Behind you" he pointed
I've been trapped, he jas probably found out that I was avoiding him.
"Greetings, Kaylan" i turned with a smile.
"Long time no see. Even though we live in the same house" he said with a frown
"We've both just been busy" I faked a laugh but Kaylan wasn't buying it
"Excuse us, Carlos" and Carlos left without a single word
"Talk" he commanded
I was stunned by the way he said it, I wasn't scared just haven't seen him with a commanding aura before.
"Shouldn't we sit down first?" I asked
"No, I want to know why you've been avoiding me, now" he said
"Well.... I honestly don't have any particular reason. I just needed the space" I said
"Space?" He said in a questioning tone as he walked closer to me slowly.
My heart pounding with each step he took. Please don't come closer.
"Have you had enough space?" He asked as my back hit the shelf behind me.
His scent again, that scent that made all my senses sharpen.
"Kaylan.... I..." I didn't know how to answer him
When did his personality suddenly change?
"You what?" He asked finally covering all the gap between us.
"It is alright for you to hug me but i can't" he said using his hand to lift my chin up.
"I.... Didn't say so" I said trying to adjust my breath.
"Then have you had enough space?" He asked again
"Yes" I managed to answer through my ragged breathing.
"Then, I want to get close to you"
