《Deal》Jumped

The next day, Early morning I went to her house, feeling nervous and thinking, how was I going to bring her with me and make her understand everything that was going on. I even prepared for the speech.
"See, listen....umm, I.... look...I...wanted to say that....," I started to prepare myself on the way to her house when a guy passed by me giving me that weird look I felt embarrassed. I mean I was literally talking to a tree and why wouldn't he give me that look.
After that without embarrassing myself further, I went to her house but she was not there. I searched for her in that cafe but she was nowhere to be found. I went to the park and she wasn't even there. Feeling frustrated, I went towards the bridge, thinking about where could she be. I looked around and then I saw her. I stood shocked, she jumped into the river. Everybody was shouting and yelling at her not to jump. My breathing stopped at that very moment. I couldn't move and then something happened and I ran as fast I could, making sure no one saw me and jumped into the river and took her out of it.
She was unconscious and I prayed she was ok. I brought her to my house and called Rima immediately. I couldn't believe what I saw. Did she try to end her life? I waited for her to wake up but she didn't. The doctor told me that it may take some days and I couldn't bear it. Rima was there for me but I wasn't able to control myself. I should have brought her with me the day I found out about her.
The whole day, I would sit beside her, waiting for her to wake up but she didn't. At night, I would beg her to open her eyes. It started getting difficult for me to see her in that condition. I couldn't concentrate on anything or even leave her for a minute.

It was the fifth day and there was no sign of her waking up. I was sitting on the bench when I felt someone watching me. I turned to find her watching me from the window but she hurriedly went inside. Then, I realized my eyes were black cause I was in pain. Yeah, when vampires are in unbearable pain or anger, their eyes turn black. I cursed myself and stood up. She must be afraid of me now. Due to that, I couldn't go near her so I went to my office happy that she was up.
After finishing my work, I went to the room, to check on her but she wasn't there so I stood at the window looking outside. I was nervous cause it was the first time I will be talking to her and I didn't know what was I going to say. Deep down, I was angry about what she did. I heard her coming inside. It took everything in me to not go near her and pulled her into my arms. After some time, she went to the bathroom, and that's when words came out of my mouth.
"Don't you ever do that to me again,"
I closed my eyes, not believing what I said and before she could turn toward me I left. I couldn't believe it slipped out of my mouth. She must be confused about why I said that or assume that I am a psycho, lol.
At dinner time we sat there to eat. I was happy to have her near me. After she finished her food, she said that she wants to leave and I almost lost it. I got up abruptly and then left. I felt her eyes on me but I didn't turn back. I went to my office and sat there thinking about how to keep her here with me. I couldn't let her go when all the vampires were after her. I was thinking about a plan when my phone rang. It was my Dad.

"Dad," I said picking up the phone. Deep down I was afraid that he called me knowing about Gurans.
"How is everything going on?" He asked me.
He sounded serious.
"Everything is all good, dad," I answered.
"I think my men have found something about that blood," as he said that my heart nearly stopped.
"Something?" I asked not letting him know how I was feeling.
"I think they know who she is,"
"She?" I asked and I could feel him nodding from the other side.
Hell, another problem arose. Even if I don't want to tell my parents about Gurans, I have to. If I don't then they will get angry and may harm Gurans.
"A few days ago they smelled that blood but couldn't find that girl. They are still searching but I am hopeful they will find her. We are one step closer,"
"That's.....nice," I said.
After that, he talked about some business and then hung up.
A few days were hard because of Gurans. She won't stop asking questions about why she was here and what I wanted from her. She even tried running but couldn't because of the guards. She gave me the nickname "bloody devil," which I found very cute. Getting tired of her questions I put out a deal for her. Deal to marry me which made her angry and she was more than furious but later she came to tell me that she accepts my deal. She was confused when I told her that she has to sign the marriage papers. Does she think I am a fool? Does she think that I would let her go just like that? I can't let her go without her agreeing to be mine.
I knew how her parents were so I sent Rima with her. I sat in the office thinking of her. As soon as she left I started to miss her already. She was the type of girl who directly gets to your heart. As soon as she leaves you to miss everything about her. Her anger, her questions, and her warmth. I felt sad that now I will miss talking to her and even sleeping with her at night. I know it was wrong of me to sleep on the same bed but how could I not when I know she isn't safe, not even with me when everyone is after her, her blood.
I got up and followed them. I parked afar from her house and watched them go inside. I was ready to take her back with me if her parents did something I wouldn't appreciate but they didn't say anything in front of Rima and acted all understanding. After Rima left, I secretly climbed up her window and watched her sit on the bed and think about things. She was in deep thought and I know what she was thinking. She suddenly got up and came towards the window and at that exact time my phone buzzed in my pocket. Thankfully I had put my phone in vibration mode.
After some time she walked back to bed and I took my phone to find that my dad had called me and I left her house to talk to my dad.
