Letters To Romeo.

Chapter 241 – Not Leaving You Behind

Julie's legs were entwined with Roman's legs, and one of her hands was playing with the back of his hair while he had buried his head under her chin. His nose tickled the skin on her neck, and a breathy air passed through her lips. His jet black hair was soft, and she weaved her fingers through them over and over again. 

After spending their time passionately, they now quietly laid in the bed, with a blanket covering their bodies. 

"Rome," Julie whispered his name, but hearing no answer from him, she presumed he had fallen asleep. 

Even though Roman told her that he was fine and capable enough to dodge the attacks and that Griffin's ability had not hurt him. But Julie couldn't help but question how much damage his body had taken while resisting the vampire's attack. One of Roman's hands was around Julie's waist, and she slowly tried to move back. But her attempt was futile as in sleep, Roman pulled her closer to him, burying his head in her bosom, while she laid there without moving again. 

Wanting to make sure he was alright, Julie kept her hands still before starting to concentrate on Roman's body. Her body started to glow blue in color, and she tried to take away the pain and fatigue that his body had gone through today. When she finished taking a decent amount of pain and fatigue into her own, she fell asleep. 

When the next morning arrived, some of the humans were compelled, who had witnessed the main building on fire. The classes had come to an end so that the students could prepare for their exams, leaving Julie and Roman to spend their time in Julie's dorm bed with each other. Though Julie was the last one to sleep, she was also the first person to wake up, and she gently kissed the top of Roman's head, something that was rare for her to do as it was often her, who was tucked under his chin, securely. 

Time like these were the ones that made it appear as if everything was normal, that time had turned back to when she had only joined Veteris. But then, it wasn't like the trouble they were all facing was not something new, and it was here before she was even born. 

She was thinking about something when she suddenly felt Roman's fangs pierce through the skin of her neck, and she winced. She moaned his name, "Rome…" 

"Mm," came the response from Roman, who continued to suck her blood. Once he was done taking little sips from her, he licked the spot and kissed it. "Sorry, I couldn't resist such a delectable sight of meal which was right in front of me."

"I didn't know you were awake," replied Julie, moving her body downwards so that she could be face to face with him. Her nose touched his, rubbing it lovingly, and Roman suddenly caught the back of her head before he conquered her lips. "Wait!" she protested, turning her face, to only receive a bite from him on her jaw. 

Roman's eyes turned dark, with his body that had only woken up from the sleep he had. Julie refusing him from kissing her had slightly irked him. 

"I need to brush my teeth!" she protested, feeling his nose graze down her neck, and she gasped on feeling him press his body against hers. 

"Does that mean it is okay if I kiss and love you elsewhere?" questioned Roman, looking at her with a look of seduction in his eyes. 

Julie trembled when Roman's hand moved between her legs, touching the flesh there that was still tender after yesterday's love-making. Her hands were quick to grip on his shoulders, and her lips parted with moans spilling out from her delicate lips. 

Roman believed no other girl could make him feel the way Julie did. She was everything he had ever needed. 

He watched the swirl of desire and her body continuing to tremble as he continued to pleasure her. He liked to see her like this, her body twisting and writhing under him, unable to keep her eyes open and wanting to shut it close. He pushed her to the brink before she came undone in his hand. 

Julie heaved for air, her chest rising and falling like the waves on the beach. She was going to question how Roman still had the energy to please and arouse her. To think that he still wanted her was a thrill in itself. 

Despite Julie's earlier protest, Roman kissed her on her mouth and said, "Now only if your dorm was attached to a bathroom. It would have been wonderful."

"Your room never had a bathroom attached to it?" asked Julie, remembering the Dormitoriums where once manors. 

"No," Roman shook his head. "This room wasn't exactly a guest room or one that was used by the family before I entered the Moltenore's family. Lady Petronil, she wanted me to move to another room when I entered my teenage years. There was a fairly good and decent room next to Tristan's room." 

"You didn't want to take it?" she asked in curiosity.

"I got used to this room, and I enjoyed this one better than the upgrade. It had an easy access to jump in and out of the room," replied Roman with a thoughtful expression on his face. "Also… I preferred to maintain a few distance from everyone. I liked my space." 

"I understand," replied Julie, and Roman hummed. 

"Donovan said there's a house that is two towns away from here. I will be moving there once I am done graduating from Veteris," said Roman. Roman raised his hand, tucking the strands of Julie's hair behind her ear while her brown eyes stared back at him. He sat up on the bed, and she followed him. He picked up her hands. A hint of sadness had appeared in her eyes at the mention of him not being here next year. Of course, it was a whole different thing if Veteris ceased existing if the hunters or the other vampires decided to attack them. 

"I wish we were in the same year," murmured Julie, and a faint smile appeared on Roman's lips. 

"I won't lie… in the past I wished for it too. But then I realized things wouldn't be the same, and I like it the way things are now," responded Roman, his thumb grazed on the back of her hand, staring into her eyes. "It feels like it was only yesterday that I crashed into you in the main building's hallway." 

Remembering her first day brought Julie a smile on her lips. "It was some day," and the smile on her lips faltered, "Will you come to visit often?" 

Roman continued to stare at her before he said, "I was wondering, as it is just two towns away from Veteris. What do you think about commuting from there to here for your classes?" 

Julie blinked at him, and a shy blush appeared on her cheeks. Her lips parted, but it didn't move after hearing Roman's proposal. She asked him, "You mean to move in with you?" 

"Yes," answered Roman, and the faint smile on his lips increased on seeing Julie's expression. "You didn't think I was going to leave you here, all by yourself, did you?" 

"But all the students are required to live in the Dormitoriums. The rules," stated Julie, and a mischievous smile appeared on his face. 

Roman gave her a nod, "Well, that's for the ordinary students. I am sure Ms. Dante can make an exception in your case. After all, the people you are related to are highly influential. You have me, you have Donovan. I am sure Donovan will be able to help you in that. So what do you say? Want to move in and live together for the rest of our lives?" 

Julie bit the inside of her lip before putting her arms around his neck and grinning widely, "Yes. A thousand times yes." 

A chuckle escaped from Roman's lips, and he placed his hand on the back of her head and the other around her waist to hug her. He kissed her cheek, "Maybe once we are done with our exams, we can go and look at the furniture and wallpapers?" 

Though they were still students, where they were not married, it seemed like they were already doing things a married couple would do. Roman had already planned everything out when Julie had come into the picture, taking her into the equation when it came to doing things. And now that she didn't have a family to go to, as her uncle had moved out of state, she needed solid ground, and he would give her that. 

"I would love that," replied Julie, her body looking nothing less than a koala bear that was hugging a tree.
