Today was his last busy day before he got a long break from work, and today was a very busy day for him apparently.He had left soon after breakfast and he had said that he wasn't sure when he'd be back.Well, it was long after lunch and he still wasn't back.I sighed, plopping my head down onto the desk as my pencil fell against the paper.I didn't even bother to move the hair that fell in front of my face as I did.It felt like it was too quiet in this room. Too quiet and too  Last Updated : 2021-07-31YOU ARE MENTAL Ep44Nico's POV:The halls of the castle were silent and empty, as the should be at this time of the night.That dreaded meeting went on way too long as they usually did, leaving me tired and in a bad mood.Luckily it was the last one for a while, finally giving me the ability to tend to other things in my life.I paused once I reached my door, wondering if Khloe was asleep in there.She better be, it would be unhealthy for her if she wasn't.I know that she has difficulty sleeping without me, but maybe the safety of my room was enough to get her to sleep.Being as late as it was, maybe exhaustion alone would have put her to sleep. Last Updated : 2021-07-31 YOU ARE MENTAL Ep45Nico's POVMy first day of not having to do anything has gone well so far.For the first time in a while, I felt stress-free and relaxed.I leaned further back against the headboard, stretching out my back.It was refreshing.Hopefully ill never have to be the one in charge of that again. Maybe they'll make Xander do it next time.I smiled a bit, shifting the toothpick from breakfast around my mouth with my tongue.That would be fun to watch.I turned my head towards the bathroom door as Khloe exited out of it.Her hair was wet from the shower she had just taken.She kept h Last Updated : 2021-07-31 YOU ARE MENTAL Ep 46Nico's POV:Khloe's mood hasn't changed for a couple of days.She still just been ridiculously quiet and avoidant.Normally I would just think that this was something that would just blow over, or that she would get over whatever was bothering her.But it was still evident, even more so than before.And I was becoming more and more worried about her.She wasn't even eating all of her food during any of the meals and would eat slowly as if she was forcing herself too. Not to mention that she was taking exceptionally longer to fall asleep and stay asleep.I turned my chair so that I was facing her.She was sitting in her signature spot on the window sill.

Last Updated : 2021-08-07 YOU ARE MENTAL E49Khloe's POV5I stared at myself in the bathroom mirror, running my hands down my sides to smoothen out the fabric of the dress.248It looked amazing.16Nico was right about that seamstress. The fact that she could pull off an exact copy from just a drawing completely amazed me.16Everything was exactly how I envisioned it if not better. Even every pearl was perfectly placed.I toyed with the jewel hanging from the necklace as I took a step back, allowing more of myself to be seen in the mirror.10The step I took was slow since I wasn't used to the large heels I was wearing.7My eyes ran over my entire body, trying to decide how I felt about this dress.8 Last Updated : 2021-08-07 YOU ARE MENTAL E50Nico's POV52Khloe has been in the bathroom a lot longer than necessary. Even I knew that it didn't take a girl this long to put on a dress, and I was beginning to become impatient.37Not because she was taking a long time, but because I already knew full well that she had already changed.17I knew that she was probably just looking herself over, finding something that she was insecure about and second-guessing her dress choice because of it.15Insecurities that I still didn't understand why she had.248I leaned back, setting my arms on the bed for support.8I mostly just hoped that she wouldn't chicken out on showing it to me because of them. I wasn't going to let those ridiculous thoughts of hers stay in her head once she showed me.17 Last Updated : 2021-08-07
Latest chapterYOU ARE MENTAL Ep74 Khloe’s POV: I woke up exactly where I should have, wrapped in the arms of Nico. Well, I don’t think Nico would consider this being wrapped in his arms. He was very upset last night that the wounds on my back prevented him from being able to hold me like he usually did, but he eventually settled with his hand on my lower back. I for one didn’t care either way, as long as I was touching him in some way I was happy. I opened my eyes to scan the room, noticing that it was a lot darker than it usually was whenever I woke up. Nico’s slow and steady breaths were the next thing that caught my attention. He was still fast asleep, which was odd because I rarely ever woke up before him. It must have been early then. I carefully pushed myself up with my elbow, allowing me to glance at the amount of light coming through the window and conf YOU ARE MENTAL Ep73Khloe’s POV:Confusion filled my mind as I watched Nico leave the room in a flash.He said that he had found our out, so I guess he found a solution to our problem.I wondered what it could be as I tried to make the heat from Nico’s kiss leave my face.I disregarded coming up with possibilities very soon, figuring that I would hear about it as soon as he comes back.With that thought process being disposed of in a matter of seconds, excitement and joy began to fill my mind again from the events that had happened only minutes before.The excitement that I had to hide while he was here so I didn’t make a complete fool of myself in front of him.But now there was absolutely nothing stopping me.Now I could feel all this pent-up energy and happiness flooding my body, about to burst.I wanted to run to the window and scream out to the world what had happened. YOU ARE MENTAL Ep72Nico’s POV:I didn’t even try to suppress my huge breath of relief as I layed myself back against the bed.“God it feels so good to finally have that off my chest,” I admitted, stretching my hands above my head before laying on themIt was weird that I could actually feel a physical difference within myself like I was finally able to truly relax.I guess all the vampiric instincts that were screaming at me to take her had finally calmed down.Although they were very upset that I wasn’t holding onto her right now.But it’s probably for the best for both of us that I take some time to calm down after that whole thing lest I do something I regret.Plus, that still didn’t change the main fact.She was mine. She was actually mine.That conversation actually went smoothly and now she wasmine.That thought felt so abstract but there YOU ARE MENTAL Ep 71Khloe’s POV:His body stiffened as soon as I spoke.And to be honest, so did mine.This conversation had been on my mind ever since last night and I just wanted to hurry and get it over with.Get it over with and get some answers.My anticipation grew as Nico put his hands into his pockets.“I did,” he replied, he himself sounding nervous.My shoulders slumped a bit at his lack of a response, making my nerves even more on edge.It was like he was avoiding the questions at hand.Not that I had actually asked a question but it thought that I had implied it quite well.“Why?” I asked, my true confused feelings leaking into my voice.His brows shot up before they slowly furrowed in thought.I wanted nothing more than to know what he was thinking at this moment.I wanted to know what exactly every thought he has had YOU ARE MENTAL Ep70Khloe’s POV:The world around me was calm as I slipped back into consciousness.My body was warm and comfortable, a feeling that automatically told me that I was in Nico’s bed.Memories of what had happened began to flash in my mind, forcing me to open my eyes, my heart skipping a beat at the thought that I had just passed out from the pain.What I saw, however, denied that thought.I was lying facing the bathroom, seeing Nico sitting in his desk chair.He was facing me, but he wasn’t looking at me.Instead, he was hunched over, elbows set on his knees and his palms pressed against his forehead. His hair fell loosely between his fingersHis shoulders rose and fell slowly, but not evenly.How long was I out?I tried to move but stopped almost immediately once I felt some resistance against pretty much my entire torso.Looking down at myself, I f YOU ARE MENTAL Ep69Khloe’s POV:I aimlessly wandered around the room, trying to think of something to do that would distract me for a short time before breakfast would arrive.Nico had hidden all of my art supplies in order to rid any suspicion, so I couldn’t do that.I partially debated just laying in his bed, knowing that those pillows had the smell of him all over them.Although if I did that Layla would probably catch onto my scent and get upset.I honestly couldn’t really do anything without risking me doing something that Layla wasn’t going to like.And well, I was already so anxious from the past 24 hours that just doing nothing like this was making things worse in my head.It felt like I just needed to fall asleep and not wake up until Layla was gone and things were back to how they should be.My head snapped towards the door once I heard a knock.I breathed out an audib YOU ARE MENTAL Ep68Nico’s POV:I couldn’t sleep.Too many things were running through my head and too many things hurt.This entire day has been complete shit.Khloe hasn’t even looked at me ever since Layla showed up. Not to mention that she had been carrying a sorrowful look on her face all day.She looked like she was going to cry pretty much the entire day and I couldn’t stand that.I still couldn’t stand that I never got an answer from her the previous night and now that Layla was here, I still couldn’t try to figure it out.My brows drew together as my head began to ache.This whole thing was so stressful and I wanted it to be done with.Not only did I have to explain my actions to Layla believable way whenever I did something moderately nice to Khloe, but I felt like I was losing Khloe.It hurt so much seeing her upset and knowing that I couldn&rsqu YOU ARE MENTAL Ep67Nico’s POV:I slowly made my way back to my room, trying to decide how I was supposed to explain all of this to Khloe.Part of me cursed myself for not at least trying to refuse the Lord’s request, but everyone knew that denying a Lord, especially this one, was a terrible idea.I sighed as I stared ahead at the door to my room.There was no way to explain this in a positive way. I didn’t want to treat Khloe in a way that would keep Layla free of suspicions.And I doubt Khloe is going to like that fact either.If anything, this whole thing is going to stress her out and that’s the absolute last thing that I wanted.Reluctantly, I opened the door.I wanted to hurry and explain this to her as soon as possible so I could try my best to assure her that I would do everything in my power to make sure that she still felt comfortable even while Layla was here.But Khlo YOU ARE MENTAL Ep66 Khloe’s POV: Nico and I didn’t return to the castle until just before the sun began to rise, both of us not being tired enough to actually get some sleep. Not that I could have slept even if I wanted to. I knew my mind would have been rushing as I recapped that night. That completely amazing night. I really wished that we would do something like that again soon, and luckily Nico promised me that we would. Even without the meteor shower, that night would have been fun. I felt a lot of things that I hadn’t felt in a very long time. Things that I didn’t even realize that I missed. And some things that I probably would be better off if I ignored. But, for now, I was sitting on my side of Nico’s bed, looking through one of the books he had on vampire history as he sat on his side, looking through a book of his own. Of course I had r
