The God And His Bride - Episode 21

The sound of my phone ringing wakes me, I come awake to myself drooling, I'm not lying, drooling on a hard chest. 

I open my eyes,

Oh mi gods, 

I can't think about this right now. 

I roll over to grab my phone and Jeter's voice fills my ears. 

"Hey baby" His voice whispers in my ear. 

"Hey" I whisper back

"Are you okay? didn't get to speak with you yesterday, how are you holding up? Is your friend okay?" 

"Yeah he's fine, I'm fine, I'm sorry about yesterday and the way I behaved."

"It's okay lovely, where are you? You want me to come get you?" 

I don't know why I lied, maybe because I'm feeling guilty or because I'm feeling bad so I lie. 

"I'm at home, you don't have to bother, I have no shifts today so I will see you after yours,okay? Let's go out" I say and he tsks. 

"I'm gonna have my wicked way with you, are you alright with that?" He asks, the humour in his voice. 

"Yes baby" I reply softly, my eyes going to the sleeping form behind me, I look around when I see he's not present on the bed. 

When did he move? 

How was he so silent? 

"Babe... Are you there?" Ezra is saying in my ear and I tune back in. 

"Did you say something?" 

"No, just that I love you" He says and my heart melts. 

"I love you too" I reply before ending the call. 

I stand from the bed, taking stock of myself and noticing that I'm still completely dressed, down to my shoes. 

I take those off, I don't want to think about how weird it is that I spent the night with Ezra in his bed. 

I vaguely remember a weird dream of kissing him last night and shivers take over my body, not the good kind of shivers. 

That's impossible, kissing Ezra Kane that is, first of all, I can't kiss him, due to you know why? And secondly that'd be very mad, he won't kiss me, I would kill him if he attempts to do anything of that sort. 

I hear a giant bang from somewhere in the house and I quickly move towards it,did he faint? Did he fall down because he was dizzy? 

I enter the sitting room, after taking many turns and entering many rooms, how does a house have this many rooms? And what the hell does a single man need them for? 

Ezra is standing by the sofa, twisting and turning the plasma TV in a 360 degree. 

How did he get that thing off its stand? And what is he doing with it. 

"What does this contraption do?" He asks and I blink. 

What does he mean? 

"Ezra, I don't think you are strong enough to be lifting appliances like that" 

He pauses his ministrations on the plasma, dropping it not so gently on the ground and taking his seat on the sofa. 

"Do you not remember?" 

"Remember? Remember what? And why are you talking funny? Like.

. I don't know, I just can't put my finger on it" 

"The owner of this body, He's struggling, he's strong, he wants me out, and I want out too, we must come to an agreement first before I leave and go back to the spirit realm" He says so seriously that it can't be mistaken that he actually believes what he is saying. 

"What are you saying?" I ask, taking a seat far far away from him, I don't want to be close to him if he goes psycho for a minute, he's freaking me out I must admit. 

"Do you still not get it? It isn't Ezra here right now, it is i, Alixi" 

I vaguely remember saying that name last night, in the dream I supposedly had.. If really that was a dream, I can't help but hope that it was a dream, I don't know how I will feel if it wasn't. 

Like a b*tch, for one. 

"Alixi?" I ask, "Who is Alixi, what are you saying, are the pain relievers making you hallucinate?" 

But wait, it's still very early in the morning, he couldn't have had any drugs this early except of course he still has the residuals of last night in his blood which we both know is next to impossible. 

"Star Marx, I do not know how I feel about you not recognizing my energy, it must be said that you promised to wait for me, I have been with you all your life, carrying out your every wish" He says and my heart stops, something is wrong here. 

"What are you saying Ezra" 

"I am not Ezra child" He says and the moment he says child my already unsteady heart takes the opportunity to start beating very fast. 

Very, very fast. 

"Starr?" I ask, my words coming slowly, unwillingly. 

"I find it appalling, the name you decided to give me" He says, crossing his legs, his intense gaze on me. 

"Oh my God"i whisper

"You don't have to call me sona (Sona means sweetheart in my story) I'm right here" He says. 

"How? How.. How are you here, why are you here? After so long, what... How?" These broken words leave me as I try to come to terms with the fact that dream guy is here, in the flesh, a borrowed flesh. The flesh of my ex who I hate but can seem to hate enough. 

Starr is here. 

"Child, We have to talk about... "I interrupt. 

"What are you doing to Ezra? Why are you in him? Why.... "

" I had to step into the human star, you were going to heal him, it would have killed you, we must talk about this child, you must stop your healing says, the other gods... "I quickly rise to my feet, moving past the plasma on the ground to stand in front of him, I crouch, bending to his level. 

He stills, as if waiting for me to spontaneously combust before his eyes. 

" You have to leave, You can't be inside Ezra, you might be hurting him.... You might be killing him!" I say, ending the last part in a scream. 

He leans back, away from me, studying me. 

"And if I don't?" He says softly, menacingly,daringly. 

"You must, I wish it" I say and his eyes flame, disappointment shining in them. 

"You don't understand child, if I leave this body, it dies" 

My heart which had been beating very fast. 

Very, Very fast suddenly stops.
