Chapter 9: Vacation

“Let’s go on a vacation” Lilith suddenly said as they were driving to go home. “I have school” Zaylee sadly said, she really wants to have a vacation, but she has school. “I can write a letter for you” Lilith said as they pulled off the driveway. “Really?!” Zaylee said once they got off the car. “Yeah, I told you I’ve studied there, they would be happy to--” Lilith was cut off when received a back hug from the smaller girl. At first Lilith tensed up at this but she soon relaxed when she realized who it was. “Thank you” she whispered.

Lilith smiled at that and turned to the girl “Welcome baby” she said with a wink causing for the shorter girl to blush. “You look like a tomato” Lilith said with a chuckle. Zaylee covered her face with her hands before answering, “I’m not” Lilith just laughed at her before walking away. “Whatever you say baby” she shouted as she closed her room.

Zaylee was rooted in her place while trying to calm down her heart. Whenever Lilith calls her baby her heart just beats so fast, she feels like she’s having a heart attack but at the same time it felt ecstatic. She made her way to her room still clutching her chest, she looks over the door opposite to her before entering hers.

Behind the door Lilith was standing still trying to understand why she said that, it just came out so natural to her, she suddenly remembered the warmth that Zaylee brought to her cold heart. She loves the feeling; she wants to feel it again. She looked back at her door and contemplated whether to remind her about the vacation or just search for a vacation for them both.

She decided that she needs to find a location for them to go first before she thinks about what she’s feeling. She browsed for hours before deciding to settle with Jeju Island in Korea. She was about close her laptop to take a rest and started packing but she suddenly remembered that she still needs to write a letter for Zaylee.

She decided against it and just grabbed her phone to text the principal. What Zaylee doesn’t know is that she also owns the school, it was given to her by her father as an 18th birthday gift. The principal was just for the time that she’s not there. Only the staffs know that she’s the real owner there.

“I’ll take Zaylee with me on a business trip” She sent the message. The principal won’t ask any question since they know that whatever she says is absolute. That’s how powerful are Lilith Reeves is. Once she was done, she stood up and made her way outside.

Zaylee just got out of the bathroom and was on her way to grab water downstairs. She just wearing a spaghetti strap and a short. Once she opened her door, she locks eyes with green ones. Lilith’s eyes travelled through her body making her fell an unknown new feeling. Lilith unconsciously bit her lip making Zaylee gulped.

Lilith was the first once who regained control as she looks away and pretended that nothing happened as she walks away. Zaylee felt her knees turn to jelly as she remembers the intense gaze that Lilith had at her. She suddenly dropped to the ground with a soft thud. She slowly got up as she realizes how dumb she looks.

She shook her head before heading down to continue what she originally planned to do. Once she made her way down she saw that Lilith was watching something in the tv, but the truth is she was just starring at the screen blankly and was trying to calm her heart that was beating fast, and her eyes that turned bloody red.

She felt that the seat next to her dipped, so she turned to the reason. Zaylee sat beside her and was looking at her seriously. “I never knew you liked barbie” Zaylee said trying to surpass her laughter. “Huh?” Lilith asked clearly confused. Zaylee pointed at the tv and saw that a barbie movie was playing. She felt her face redden at this. “No, I-I was just” she sighed as she couldn’t find a proper reason why she was staring blankly at a barbie movie. This caused Zaylee to laugh more, Lilith just looked at her mesmerized at how the girl’s laugh sound so angelic.

Once Zaylee realized that Lilith was just staring at her she stopped, “Is there something on my face?” she asked as she touched every part of her face. “Nothing I was just—I found us a vacation destination” Lilith suddenly said a little louder than she intended to.

“Excited, are we? So where are we heading?” Zaylee asked as she leans her head at the couch. “Jeju Islands in Korea” Lilith said with a shrug. “You got us a ticket already?” she asked simply astonished at how fast the girl works. “Who told you that we would ride a private plane?” Lilith asked with raised eyebrow. “So, what will we ri-- are you serious right now?” Zaylee asked mouth wide open at her realization. “Deadly, we will ride my private plane” she said with a shrug. She suddenly felt her vision shake as Zaylee started shaking her shoulders. “Hey, stop!” Lilith shouted as she started feeling dizzy with what the younger was doing to her.

“Sorry” Zaylee said shyly as she slowly removes her hands at the other girl’s shoulder. “I just got really excited” Zaylee said as she scratches her nape because of embarrassment. “I could tell” Lilith said and chuckled. “You should start packing since we would leave tomorrow morning” Lilith said as she grabbed the remote to turn the tv in another channel. “Okay” Zaylee said before kissing her cheeks and sprinting upstairs.

Lilith was left there shocked with hear beating fast, a smile slowly crept to her face, her hand slowly went to the cheeks that the younger kissed. She’ll be the death of me she thought to herself, meanwhile Zaylee was slamming her head to her pillow asking herself why she did that, both of them clueless with what the other felt.
