Chapter 64

• SATAKE
• The world outside became loud and I was tempted to open my eyes. The scenery that graced my eyes looked very different from what I had become accustomed to waking up to all my life. I tried to get on my feet when I noticed David cocooned up next to me. His hands were clutched to the book he had read me all night and his face was the depiction of a true angel. I brushed away a lock of dirty blonde that hindered me from gawking at his pretty face. I found myself strangely admitting that I found this warlock attractive in every sense and David couldn’t just be a piece of eye candy. Oh, no. He was smart, witty, inventive, and forgiving too. The more time I spent looking at him, the harder it was not to fall under his spell but I had somewhere to be. I stepped out of the bed and tiptoed towards the door, stopping for a minute when the door creaked open. That book was on my mind. I groaned in frustration then tiptoed back to David's side. He was holding on to that book like it was dear life so I made sure to be gentle as I removed it from his grasp. I flipped the pages to the ones I had remembered he was reading from and brought out my smartphone to take some pictures. The language was old. Probably lost over the ages but I could very well hire a witch to help with the translation. As I took the last picture, David rubbed at his eyes and squinted them open.
• "You are awake," David whispered.
