Rodriguez looked at her. "You need my blood Christy. It is too hard to explain it right now. You will need it and regular blood.â€ He said. He took the harder smack then before. Just looking at her even though his face stung and had a red mark on it now.â€Yes you do Christy. You wonâ€™t understand why right now but you do. You have it whether you want it or not.â€ He still held her gently. His face stung and felt all pins and needles right now. He blinked at her question. Why? Wasnâ€™t it obvious? He loved her. She was his mate. He let her go when she pushed away his arms. Just blinking. Well this was complicated. He wasnâ€™t exactly sure how to explain the why. The words I love you sounded foreign and made little sense. To him they were mates so such a fact should be obvious. He watched her run off and slam the bathroom door.<br/><br/>Looking at the bedroom and knew if he left Nana send his ass right back up the stairs. At stake point if she had to. Being she might actual have those things and dying to come back a while later hurt like hell...heâ€™d just stay where he was. He had the unmistakable habit of not staying dead. His brother had not inherited this from his mother thankfully. He stood up and slowly strode towards the bathroom door. If she locked it heâ€™d force it open. A mere wooden door stood no chance against his vampiric strength. Though Nana would yell at him for it later. Man could that woman raise her voice. She could put a new meaning to yelling altogether. So yeah. Best to stay here before she black and blued him with words. She treated him like family and always had.<br/><br/>He went to the bathroom door and pushed it open. The sound of wood cracking could be heard as he practically forced it over. Walking to her and dropped down in front of her. He looked at her without saying anything for the moment. â€œThe answer to why is simple.â€ He started out. â€œYou are my mate and...â€ He had to think of the words as he never used them. â€œI have loved you since I first saw you when you were just a baby. Since the day I knew you were my mate. When I risked everything to hide you away from the people I am supposed to call family. Nana can explain in better detail. There is much you donâ€™t know about your grandmotherâ€™s life before and up until you came into the family.â€
