LOVER MONSTER!
104. Adventure in Demian city.

Following Demian's invitation to date in Sorrento, Jessica also prepared herself by using the best dress that Dania had prepared for her. Sunset orange dress patterned daisy was attached beautifully on Jessica's body, making her look elegant and beautiful.

When Jessica came down from her room and met Demian on the first floor, the man's pair of obsidian beads glared at Jessica with obvious amazement. The man's breath was like pausing. Demian, while looking at Jessica, approached the girl with a faint smile engraved on her face.

"Are you ready to go on an adventure with me today, Princess?" Demian greeted Jessica and placed a soft kiss on the back of the girl's hand. "You're so gorgeous, I don't want to expose you to anyone."

"Don't overdo it," Jessica said, she blushed unusually by the attention Demian was spilling on her. Jessica was afraid that she would end up melting down under Demian's gaze, and it would end up embarrassing.

Is it still summer? Goddamnit! Jessica's face flushed to her ears.

"You look even more adorable when you're shy, are you sure you're still going strong on a date with me? I'll tease you all day."

"Demian.., I'll leave you if you bother me."

Embracing Jessica's waist into her arms, Demian then showered Jessica's face with a kiss. "I'll never let you leave me."

"Yayaya.., whatever." Jessica, being hit by high feelings of nervousness and embarrassment, is throbbing. Jessica still had a hard time reacting to Demian's overflowing affection. Besides being thrilling, Jessica was also not used to being loved and pampered like this.

Uhuhuhuhu, it feels so embarrassing! Jessica could die from her own body heat.

"Well, now..." Satisfied to have made her Jessica as red as a tomato, Demian also pulled Jessica's wrist to follow her. They took a leisurely step and marched towards Demian's car parked in front of Rhoden manor. The car was the same black jeep that Demian's bodyguard had picked them up yesterday.

"Because there are so many places to visit, I'm so confused where to start." While talking, Demian fiddled with the GPS in his car. "Do you have any places you want to go, Jesse?"

"Mmm, I've never been here or read any information about this place so...," Jessica's gaze fell towards Demian, implying 'Stop everything to you'.

"Well, then.., I heard many tourists stopped by this place..."

Demian props up his vehicle and while their car is speeding on the highway, Demian occasionally throws his gaze at Jessica. The wind blew in through the open window of the car, greeting Jessica's face with a soothing tenderness.

Jessica - unaware of Demian's attention - gazes at the buildings she passes in admiration. The brightly colored buildings stood side by side on the highway, mesmerizing the eyes.

This scene is very different from Vegas whose density is stifling.

A few minutes drive away, Demian finally parked his car in the parking area. As their date begins today, Demian takes Jessica on a walk in the Centro Storico area. More precisely, Demian took Jessica down the back road in Centro Storico which, by the way, became a favorite place of most tourists.

"Waaaaahhh," Jessica gulped as she treaded on the long unraveled rocky path before her.

The sight of the road alone had dazzled his eyes, not to mention the buildings that were clinging to the small alley. Several cafes, restaurants, houses and even an old church are inside, looking like buildings from medieval times.

In each of the labyrinth-like intricacies of the alley, Jessica always found a thing or two that fascinated her eyes. Makes it very upset. If Demian had not clasped her hands, Jessica would have probably been withering around following her eyes.

"This place seems unreal," Jessica muttered as she sipped her coffee. After a few minutes of circling around, Demian finally asked Jessica to take a break at one of the coffee shops located in the area.

"Did you also bring your previous girlfriends here?"

"What kind of question is that?" one almond landed on Jessica's forehead, Demian threw it.

"Sorry, just suddenly thinking."

Jessica's still euphoric, actually. He was very happy to explore places like this with Demian next to him. Jessica was so happy, that her brain ran everywhere. Out of his control. That's why he thought of Hestia's speech on the plane the other day.

"I didn't date as a teenager" Demian said.

"That's definitely a lie, right?"

"You want to listen to me?"

"Sorry."

Demian sighed, he again took the almonds in the jar and chewed them sluggishly. "I'm not saying that to make you feel special or anything. I'm serious..., instead of dating as normal, my previous relationship has always been..., what is it?" Demian was confused to say it, so Jessica helped.

"Full hormones?"

"What do you mean?" Demian instantly sewot. The thing is, Jessica's guess may have a point. However, Demian did not want to be stared at like that by Jessica. "I'm still a teenager, it's only natural that I was very active at the time."

"I'm not criticizing you or anything." Jessica pulled a shoulder. "Only, I don't see any significant difference from your teenage self to now."

Jessica meant, Demian is still so savage in bed, it's scary. Jessica sometimes wonders if Demian has endless energy. He's too fit, actually.

"Jesse.., I'm starting to dislike this topic."

"Oooh, what's wrong with talking about your mass a little bit. While we're in your town, I want to know what my girlfriend was like when she was a teenager..."

"You won't want to know" Demian said, shuddering unhappily.

"Why? Are you more bar-bar than you are now?" Instead of changing the topic, Jessica instead increasingly thought about and imagined the teenage version of Demian.

Whatever he did in his youth. Could she be living her teenage years like a badboy in novels? Do you struggle with three to four women, alcohol and drugs every day? Involved fighting?

Eeeeiii, is that possible?

"Seriously, what are you imagining right now?" Demian narrowed his eyes miserably. He was suspicious of Jessica who was now clearly building a screenplay in his mind.

"Demy..," said Jessica, she looked at Demian hesitantly at that very instant. "Could it be that the reason you didn't want to talk about your teenage years is because you've been exposed to?" Maybe that's why Demian didn't want to tell her about her youth.

"..."

"..."

"..."

...*...

Fortunately, Demian's answer was no. However, thanks to Jessica's question that had already hurt Demian's self-esteem, Demian handed Jessica one sentence.

"Just look. Come home later, I'll keep you from walking for a few days."

"You don't intend to break my leg over silly questions, do you?" Jessica frowned unhappily at Demian's threat. He thought it was too brutal. However, Demian only responded with a panted forehead.

"You're no longer helped, Jesse." Demian said a little pity. Sometimes Jessica is too innocent for the world, Demian feels guilty for making the girl with pure thinking her own.

After leaving the center storico area, Demian also brought Jessica to various places that are Icons in Sorrento.

They took a walk to markets, museums, historical places and Demian even took him to Naples, the city where pizza was born. They visited Naples just to taste the city's most delicious famous pizza.

This day, too, Jessica spent her day 'eating-eating' when she was full. All the places he visited not only presented beautiful scenery, but also delicious food no two. Jessica, who was basically very fond of food, could not help but sniff out every delicious scent from the street vendors merchandise.

"Demians..." While they rest and enjoy the twilight sun at the top of Villa communale park, the sound of typical Italian music is playing faintly from some street musicians who also enjoy the sunset view.

Staring at the scene as well, Jessica felt her breathing paused. He was so fascinated by the natural beauty presented before him. So beautiful. Jessica thinks she might be dreaming now.

Perhaps, if he blinked, all this beauty would disappear from the reach of his eyes. When he blinked, he could have been back in Vegas and none of this had ever happened. He did not know Demian and never went to Italy.

Realizing that Jessica by her side was now drowning in her daydream, Demian woke Jessica up with a gentle touch on her wrist. Demian did not know what Jessica was thinking, but the girl's expression looked grim.

"What are you thinking?" Demian grabbed Jessica's chin and gave a gentle swipe at her jaw.

Jessica lifted her face from Demian's shoulders. He looked at the man for a moment, before saying.

"Let's not know.., I was just wondering..., what if all the happiness I've experienced today is only happening in my head?" Jessica smiled faintly. "I feel.., I am not worthy enough to receive all these privileges."

"..."

"..."

After hearing Jessica's words, Demian wanted to tell the girl that she deserved everything. He deserves all the happiness and beauty that exists in this world.

However, as soon as Demian looked into Jessica's eyes, Demian knew that Jessica didn't need an answer at the time. Jessica just wanted to express her heart without needing Demian to correct her. Jessica just wanted Demian to listen to her.

So.., instead of giving Jessica a response, Demian shifted to approach Jessica. He tightens the distance between them and gives Jessica a deep kiss on Jessica's open lips.

...*...

'What do I have to do so that you can never escape me?'

A question came to Demian's mind as she looked at Jessica who was busy chewing strawberries beside her.

Jessica was unaware of the deep gaze Demian gave her. He was so fixated on the fresh strawberries that the fruit dealer gave him for free.

Demian, despite enjoying this day with great pleasure, returned to a chaotic thought once he arrived at the car. Demian thought of something he had missed upon arrival at Bellamy yesterday. Something she did not want to share with Jessica because Demian was unwilling to aggravate the situation between them.

Jessica trusts Demian and Jessica wants Demian to believe her. And so, as Jessica's lover, Demian would behave like that.

Although...,

Demian closed his eyes.

Jessica was a special figure to him, therefore, for whatever sake, Demian did not want to create any more wounds in Jessica's heart. The girl's life was already full of bitter experiences, she had already experienced terrible things. Demian was unwilling to add to his existence in that terrifying experience. Because, if he makes trouble once again, Demian believes Jessica will be completely lost from his grasp.

"Are you ready to go back?" Demian forced his voice to sound cheerful.

"M-I..." Jessica nodded cheerfully.

'What should I do?' Demian thought hard as he drove his car down the highway.

"Jessica..."

"Yes?"

"You married?"

"Huh?"

Looking up at Jessica, Demian then laughed witfully. "I just feel.., everything that happened today is so close to perfect. If we close it with a wedding, don't you think today will be a very legendary day?"

"Are you serious?"

"..."

"Demians? You're kidding me, right?"

"Eitherway. I just want to keep you by my side."

Jessica grunts. "That's an impossible desire. Even if you marry me, I won't always be immortal next to you."

"Does that mean you're leaving me?"

"If I die, maybe?"

"Don't be so gloomy!"

Jessica laughed then. "I guess.., if you do something unforgivable, I'll leave you."

"What is an unforgivable thing?" Demian gulped. If he could, Demian wanted to know that in advance. That way, he will know what he needs to avoid.

"Fraud, maybe? Violence against me?"

"That's all?"

"As long as you don't hurt me and betray me, Demian. I thought I wouldn't leave you."

Demian swallowed a stone. "I would never do those things. Everything I'm gonna do in the future, it's all for you, Jessica."

'I hope, when that day comes, you'll understand why I made the choice I made.'

"Why are you asking me something weird?" Jessica was uncomfortable. As Jessica recalled, they were talking about marriage just now.

"Since I don't want to lose you, I plan to tie you to my life."

Jessica grimaced in disgust at Demian's cliche-sounding remarks to her. Demian's words in Jessica's ears are like Alecto's words in his fantasy novel. Because Alecto is a possessive person.

"You have to be careful about tying people up in your life, Demian. It could be that person is the source of your suffering."

"I'd rather suffer with you than without you."

"Oooowwwww, clinic. I'm gonna puke! Demian, what's wrong with you? You freaking me out?"

Demian turned to Jessica and shook her forehead. "I'm just meeting the expectations of your version of a romantic guy."

"Don't do that!" Jessica catches Demian's wrist and gives Demian a light bite. "I'll hit you if you're yelling at me."

"That's scary" Demian sneered. He slowed down the speed of his car before approaching Jessica and gave the girl a strong kiss on her cheek.

'I'll never let you out of my reach, Jessica.' Demian swore in his heart.
