A DEAL
Sebastian finished making and served a perplexed Adia who found it hard to digest his act of kindness.
She gulped down the tea slowly and more comfortably since Sebastian has long left the room.
Sebastian walked round Adia sitting room looking round the room, he strode over to where a picture frame lay, picking up the picture frame, he saw it was a little Adia who was probably over twelve, her sister and her parents.
Sebastian studied the picture recollecting the fact that Rowan has mentioned before that her parents were Dead.
He observed the picture taking note of how happy Adia looked.
He sat on the cushion comfortably waiting patiently for Rowan and Evans to arrive, not failing to take note on how poorly Adia lives.

“Hola, Sebastian” a deep husky voice called causing Sebastian to stand up from the chair.
“Keep it down will you” Sebastian said dryly making way for Evans and Rowan to come in.
“Here, the drugs and you clothes” Rowan handed a bag over to Sebastian who grabbed it from him.
“Guess she was really poor” Rowan commented not failing to notice the poor condition of the house which looked neat at least.
“I agree”
“None of your business” Sebastian spat at them pulling his damp clothes off.
“Shit have some shame Sebastian, she can Walk in anytime” Evans taunted at the shameless Sebastian who ignored his remark, putting on his clothes.
“Were you able to get anything?” Sebastian asked after he was Done with his clothes dumping the damp ones in the bag.
“Yes, but the results are not pretty good” Evans announced lowering down his tone, as Sebastian’s brow furrow.
This time it was Rowan who spoke as Sebastian frowned causing deep lines on his forehead.
“Well the cause of her sudden cold is because of the pregnancy”
“How does a common cold relates to a pregnant woman?” Sebastian enquired waiting for a good explanation.
“Well, since she’s a human carrying a vampire child, we all know her body would not be able to sustain the child’s nutrients”
“So??”
“How do I put this, alright, just imagine this is the first stage of a disease”
“She’s not affected by a disease” Sebastian fired at Evans who was taken aback by his sudden concerns.
“I Know, but she’s technically sick, so the first problem for a human carrying a vampire child is that, their body will get exposed to some certain illness, especially the ones in their gene, just like this cold, you know..” Evans inhaled sharply before going on with his speech.
“Since she has the gene in her blood, she’ll get down with cold more often from now on, in other words Adia is no different from a sickle cell anemia patient, who gets sick all the time” Evans concluded as Sebastian finally understood what he was talking about.
“So what are you gonna do about?” Sebastian questioned as Evans sat down on a nearby cushion.
“Look over her like a patient of course, because as time goes on, it will all get worse, so just look over her like a normal patient and maintain a clean hygiene” Evans informed picking up a doll from a nearby table.
“Come on Sebastian, no need to get worked up, you don’t like her remember, or are you beginning to.. you know” Rowan said with a hint of mischief in his voice, obviously wanting to see Sebastian’s response.
“Not at all, just doing what a normal human would do”
“You’re not a human” Evans stressed out resulting to a glare from Sebastian.
“True, but I have a heart”
“No you don’t” Evans stressed again as Sebastian shot deadly glares at him.
“Shut up fool, she’s pregnant and it wouldn’t be nice for me to let her die, you and I Know I feel nothing am just trying to be careful and please I don’t want to ever hear about feelings or whatsoever” Sebastian warned with a note of finality in his voice as Evans grinned sheepishly.
‘ you’re right, you feel nothing but not for long’ Evans thought wearing a mischievous smile, he had his whole plan at hand, Sebastian would definitely fall for Adia. He will make sure to see to that and ensure she lives.
*****
Adia heard hushed tones from her sleep as her eyes sprang open in alert, she was already feeling a little better after taking the tea and since she had a short nap, but she still felt a little weak but better than before.
Adia wondered if Sebastian was still around and if he brought visitors given that he left the room after serving her tea and she fell asleep moments after that, she just had to see for her self.
She got up from the bed slowly walking quietly and steadily to the sitting room.
“Shh, she’s coming” Sebastian murmured as he had already caught her scent and also heard her footsteps.
“Hello Adia” Evans waved at her revealing his cute dimples immediately Adia walked in.
“Oh hi Evans, how did you get here” Adia asked startled, but Evans was not the only one here with Sebastian but another familiar face.
“Came here as fast as I could, you see, Sebastian sounded so worried and demanded I came over immediately”
Evans chimed in emphasizing on the word ‘worried’ as Sebastian scoffed silently.
“Why??” Adia asked confused.
“Oh said you had a cold, but you look fine, I guess it was no so serious as he sounded”
“I see” Adia face fanned red at the thought that Sebastian cared for her, while Rowan on the other hand just shook his head slowly that Adia was falling for Evans schemes.
“Here, have your medicine, the prescription is written in there” Sebastian offered her the medicine as Adia muttered a thank you.
“We’re leaving” Sebastian announced suddenly.
“So soon”
“Yes, Adia I’m sure you’re okay now, I’ll send a nurse over tomor…”
“No am fine, it’s just a Cold” Adia rejected politely.
“As you wish” Sebastian blurted out as he made way for the door.
“I’ll be in the car” he said leaving the room as Adia stood confused, what’s up with him, he was so caring a moment ago and now, he’s back to his Cold self.
“Take care Adia” Rowan said shifting his gaze to Evans indicating they should leave.
“I’ll be with you soon, go on” Evans said as Rowan glared at him, wondering what the sly fox is up to but nonetheless he left the place, knowing he wouldn’t hurt her.
“Thanks for today Evans”NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“It was nothing and don’t mind Sebastian he has serious mood swings, but he really cares alot” Evans coaxed placing his hands on her shoulders.
“But I’ll need something from you?”
“And what’s that?” Adia asked gleefully ready to help with anything as Evans had been so nice to her since they met.
“A contact, hmmm, what do you say?” Evans raised a brow at her smiling widely.
