Chapter 149 - One Hundred And Forty-nine : Beat The Fear Of God Into Him

Ben was startled when he awoke and saw the IV reattached to his hand, what happened? Did he pass out since he has no recollection of it?

He looked around the room, no one was around - not even Jenny - and Trevor was still fast asleep.

Irritated, Ben yanked the IV off his hand the second time and climbed out of the bed. Casting one last look at Trevor, he walked out of the room cautiously.

Jenny said her daughter was here but sadly he didn't get the chance to

ask about her room number before he passed out.

So he intended asking the receptionist, but it appears luck was on his side because he spotted Jenny in the hallway talking to a nurse.

According to what he heard, Jenny had to leave because of an emergency and told the nurse to please take care of her kids.

But it seems Jenny mistook the nurse for the one in charge of Trevor cause she kindly told her she was the wrong person.

Looks like the nurse was a good person since she eventually agreed to convey the messages to the right nurse and Ben got to learn about Lia's room number through the conversation.

Thankfully there was no security to stop him on the VIP floor, so he located his goddess room with ease.

Standing in front of the room, he was about to knock on the door when he suddenly froze.

What if Lia doesn't like him anymore because of what he - no Lawrence did - he would never hurt his goddess on purpose.

Ben remembered everything now, so he knew the horrors Lia went through in his hands and the kisses - God, this was so embarrassing!

Perhaps if he were a good person, he should just leave lia alone because of what he did to her, but he wasn't; Lia was the only person he had by his side, and wouldn't let her go easily.

She was the only person that stood by him when others didn't and she even knows things about him his birth parents have no knowledge about.

Talking of his birth parents, when was the last time he even saw them face-to-face, a month ago? Two months ago?

Sometimes it was a relief that he had grown up and was able to take care of himself, his parents' constant disappearance doesn't even bother him anymore.

The only notable thing they did for him was making sure he never lacked resources.

Fine, he would test the waters first and if Lia doesn't want him anymore, then so be it. He would not bother her again.

So Ben knocked on the door softly but when he got no response after the third time, his knocks gained momentum.

"My goddess Lia, open up! " He yelled, banging on the door.

"Can we talk please, it's me Ben " he pleaded but still got no response.

A minute later, the door was pulled open by the vampire who is also his principal and also the mate to his goddess and who also warned him never to hurt his goddess Lia.

Yeah, the one and only Asher. Oh, Ben, you are dead meat.

Ben gulped, his heart was pounding so hard he feared it would jump out of his chest pretty soon.

Asher was shooting green fire from his orbs, he had never felt the need to tear this guy to pieces till now. How could he interrupt them in such an important moment?

Ben swore if Asher kept staring at him that way for the next five minutes, he would really pee in his pants.

Asher was probably still angry at him for the kiss.

But it wasn't him! It was Lawrence in him then! why would he kiss his goddess, was he insane? Why had one ever asked him the reason why he kept calling Lia ' his goddess '.

It was because no matter how much a human desired, goddesses were meant to be admired and seen from far away and they are married to gods.

So even if his feelings for lia was as tall as Mount Everest, he had no choice but to hide and curtail it.

He wasn't delusional nor stupid, there was no way on earth Lia would ever like him as more than a friend, so he had better value their friendship.

Lia was way over his league even with all his riches. There was just this ethereal aura around her.

When had he even begun to fall for her?

Her first day as a new student when he had glued himself to her side and instead of giving him that disgusting look the other gives him, she gave him a curious one instead?

Or when she stood up to Caroline for calling him "her servant"? He couldn't exactly tell but at least if he can't have her as a lover, he would love her as a friend.

"Asher, can you please let Ben in? " A voice came from inside but he instinctively knew it belonged to his goddess.

His heart gladdened and his lips broadened into a smile, she still wanted him

Ben was about to charge straight into the room happily but Asher used his hand to block the entrance, giving him a death glare.

He then told Ben in a voice that roused more goosebumps than fear "I've got my eyes on you " pointing two fingers into his eyes, Asher made way for him to pass through.

Lia's brows knitted together in suspicion when she saw Ben's unenthusiastic steps into her room. She rolled her eyes exasperatedly, Asher must have said something to dampen his mood.

She knew Ben like the back of her hand, he was one of the most eccentric humans she has ever known.

Though others disliked his attitude and avoided him like poison, she loved everything about him - God tailor-made Ben for her.

He was her friend and would always be, even though he has the tendency to drive her crazy sometimes and a knack for bad timing - Just like now.

But Lia thanked him secretly for that, what if things had escalated and she took it further with Asher. What would she do then about Daniel?

Though she was not told, it was already obvious she was not supposed to have sex with any of them, at least until she makes a choice.

" Hey " Ben waved, not to mention - keeping a good distance from her.

Lia turned to scowl at Asher who looked away, what exactly had this old vampire who sometimes behaves like a kid, told him?.

She stood from the bed and strode towards Ben, swallowing him in a bear hug.

Ben stood rigidly for a while before Lia drew back and told him straight in the eyes "I forgive you for everything "

Lia was indeed surprised when she saw Ben's wide shocked eyes and he stammered, "Y-you forgive me for everything? "

"Of course, silly " She drew him back into a hug but it seems Ben was finding it absolutely hard to believe because he hastily pulled away.

"You really forgive me? Even for the times when I kissed you? " he asked again, just to be sure.

Lia rolled her eyes, bored of hearing his same question " Of Course I forgive you - wait, what?!? "

She stepped back in shock when she finally realized what he just said.

" Excuse me? Did I kiss you? "? Lia pointed at her and then at him.

Ben bites the outside of his mouth "It's more like an' I kissed you and you responded back because you were charmed ' kind of scenario. Wait, you don't remember? "

Lia's face scrunched up, deep in thoughts while Asher stepped in, hoping to salvage what's left of the situation

"This is the part where I say 'Chit Chat is over '. Lia? " Asher called her but she was immersed in her own thoughts, he wondered what was going on in her head.

Seconds later Lia glanced up at Ben and asked out loud, "I kissed you? "

Ben nodded "Yeah, you kinda kissed Lawrence but technically, it was my lips who received the smooching "

An evil smirk plastered on her face as she told him "And technically, you are going to be the one to receive the beating "

Before Asher could even react, she had bounced on Ben and gripped his hair tight.

" You had the nerve to kiss me! " she scolded him and tugged on his hair tighter.

"Ouch, not my hair! " Ben cried out while struggling to free her grip " It wasn't me who kissed you but that evil Lawrence, why are you taking it out on me ?! "

A mocking laugh was heard from her mouth " Of course it was that evil Lawrence. Who let him in the first? place?!"

"Have mercy already, my poor hair! Do you know how much it takes me to maintain these strands you're pulling off? Moreover, how can you be so pretty? you already said you've forgiven me! " He whined still struggling to be set free.

There was a mad glint in her eyes as she continued "Of Course I have forgiven you but you still have to pay for your sins "

Luckily for Ben, Asher managed to 'untangle' Lia off from him as he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Asher ! Let me go! I need to beat the fear of God into that boy !" Lia screamed her lungs out while kicking vigorously as Asher carried her off her feet and tossed her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes.
