chapter 36
“I fucking hate my life” I whispered to myself after the training.
“You did our best, at least for your first day and you learned some dodging techniques, which is a good thing and on the bright side you stepped on me”
“And you liked it because you are a kinky son of a...”
“Unless you want to experience a level- five -hundred -migraine do not call my father bitch”
“My body aches all over I just want to crawl under a rock and die, why don’t you use magic to take it away”
“You do not need magic to solve all your problems you know, I could give you a massage”
“Wouldn’t you like that?” I asked rolling my eyes at him
“I honestly would enjoy it”
“Whatever, I will allow you to give me a massage as long as you don’t get sexual about it”
“Okay then it is settled I will give you a massage after dinner, but I am not making any promises”
“Why not now?”
“We have to start your Latin class”
“LATIN? No No No Xavier, we have to skip that today I beg of you, I don’t think I can exhaust any more muscles, can’t we learn it tomorrow”
“No tomorrow is the day you get to see hell and we have dinner with my father”
“I can’t meet your father, he is evil”
“My father is not evil, what gave you the impression that my father is evil”
“Umm only the five months of your life that I read in your journal”
“He is not evil, I was not even a teenager when I first started writing it, he is just a very annoying parent like all other parents out there okay and I made it seem like he was this grim reaper”
“He kinda is” I mumbled under my breath
“I heard that”
We went to his library, I know you are thinking how come we never heard about this. The simple answer is that Xavier is incredibly frustrating and he thinks he can keep his whole house from the girl who was living with him but today Xavier Aslan Hades. I find out all your secrets. Mwah haha
We walked around the library and he was dropping huge books into my hand one by one after dusting them
“Oh we will need this” he dropped another and another
“Hello someone with muscle issues here,” I said from behind the big pile of books
“Oh of course,” He took them and walked to the table “we will leave this here for future Latin training okay”
“Okay” he sat down and I sat in front of him
“This is an old library so I doubt you would see any romance books here. But if you like Shakespeare then be my guest”
“Uh I don’t like Shakespeare”
“Oh, okay then, since you like pushing your nose into other people’s business you might find some diaries and some journals and historical books about demon culture”
“As much as I like pushing” I did air-quotes around those words “my nose into other people’s business I would only like to read your diary”
“I am afraid I will not let you do that unless I trust you fully, which I don’t”
“The things you say” I put my hand over my chest and feigned hurt making him laugh
“One day you may read it just not now, but it won’t be so far off, seeing that you are already warming up to me”
“I think me wanting to eat from your hand all the time has been mistaken for something else”
“I know for a fact that you are attracted to me”
“So what”
“She doesn’t deny it”
“I am not a girl to beat around the bush, Xavier. If I view you as an attractive man, then my mouth would say it as it is no matter how much you disgust me”
“Good to know, shall we begin, my lady”
“We shall kind sir”
“I will be teaching you table Latin today since we are going to meet my father for dinner tomorrow”
“Table Latin?”
“Yes how to speak when you are on the dinner table and what to say tonight we would learn normal table etiquette but for now”
“Table Latin” I sighed, to add to the aching all over my body, I was super hungry, I was soon going to start eating this guy to quench it. But of course he as the kinky bastard he was would see it a moment of enjoyment.
“We would start with the basic greetings, how do you say good morning in Latin?”
“I know this one, bonjour” I said over-enthusiastically, TOO ENTHUSIASTIC
“No that is french”
“Then I don’t know this one”
“Are you really the person that is going to marry me in a few months?”
“Are you really asking me that question”
“Good morning is Bonum mane”
“They both start with bon Xavier I almost got it” I exclaimed
“Just say it” he sighed
"Bonum money”
“Bonum mane”
“Boooonuuum mane”
“Good afternoon is...”
“Uh, uh don’t I get a reward” he grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me so close to his face
“No” I widened my eyes at the closeness
“Bonum dies”
“Bonum dies”
“You might want to write this down to study later so let me get you a journal” Xavier got out of his seat and disappeared. I slumped and sighed.
“SO HUNGRY”
He returned with a book “now write down what I have taught you” I collected it and started writing
“Never mind” he took it from me and wrote it down for me with his sexy as hell handwriting, one could say it was even sexier than me
“So our demon friend has an OCD,”
“A very slight one, good evening is Bonum vesperam” It was hard to focus on his words while staring at his dusky rose-colored lips
“Bonum vesperal”
“With an M, not L, Bonum Vesperam”
“Bonum vesperam”
“Very good, Bonum nocte”
“Bonum nocte is good night in Latin”
“Say all of them” he closed the journal looking at me
“Um Bonum Mane, good morning. Bonum vesperam, good evening. Bonum nocte, good night”
“And I am guessing we don’t have afternoons in the human world”
“Sorry, Bonum dies, is good afternoon, it slipped my mind”
“Where exactly was your mind Winter?”
“On your lips” I said truthfully and smiled, Xavier narrowed his eyes at me.
