The God And His Bride - Episode 27

I slowly watch my hand as I buckle my belt, I think I might have lost some weight this weekend.

It's been 3 days since that drama, the one with Jeter and Alixi on the lawn. That had been on Thursday, it's Monday now.

I hadn't known what woke me up exactly, I just know I heard a loud bang and my body moved, in hind sight maybe that hadn't been the safest decision, coming down stairs to check out what it was.

I had seen the huge hole in the roof, looking through the window were two men, one looking vaguely familiar and the other a stranger.

I had walked outside, not caring that I could see wings and fangs, I just wanted to know why Jeter looked like the boy from my dreams.

My chest had hurt to think that maybe he hadn't been completely honest with me.

The other man, in human form, with dark hair and dark eyes (Although it was too dark to notice but I instinctively know), with his dark wings and star insignia all over his body, I knew that person instinctively, I have one of his marks on my lower back.

They had both turned to me when I asked the question and I could see the contradiction in Jeter's eyes.

He wanted to speak, explain but I wasn't in the mood to listen, I just feel betrayed.

Why? Why would he do that to me?

I don't get hurt by him taking my energy, Mila later explains, he needs it to survive,he can't get what he wants from humans so he must have come to me and along the way fall in love with me? but I still don't get it, does he really love me? Or he loves the fix I constantly give him.

My door opens, bringing me back to reality and Mila pokes her head in.

This reminds me that I have a score to settle with her.

"Are you going to work?" She asks and I shake my head.

"Whare are you off to then?"

"I'm going to see Ezra's lawyer today, discuss the will" I say and she nods, stepping in the door and sitting on the couch in my room.

"Can we talk?"

I don't respond, just continue to pile my hair up in a chignon.

"Star, don't do that, don't shut me out, just let me try to explain why I'm here and who I am."

I really don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear how another person I trust is just around me for what they can gain.

"I have to be somewhere Mila, let's talk later" or maybe never? I don't say that part, just pick up my bag and exit the room, marching downstairs with a force and a little anger.

I come up short at the broad back facing me, perusing the baby pictures my mum refused to take down.

I feel Mila come up in my back but I don't turn, my eyes are only on the man in front of me, and he's a man alright.

He's male all through.

He turns, slowly, somehow knowing that I'm here and I behold Alixi the great and powerful in full and in light.

Dark hair, short in the back and long in the front, thick and long eyelashes , full lips and the darkest of dark eyebrows..

His eyes are the thing that holds my attention, dark, swirling lights in them, like the earth, the universe, the multiverse are inside it.

Don't get me started on his body, where Jeter is lean and broad, Alixi is all muscle and hard edges.

He's watching me as I watch him and that brings my perusal to a halt.

"What are you doing here?" I ask just as Mila adds.

"You can't walk around with those eyes" That brings my attention back to the eyes, they are the prettiest thing, I could almost see a star inside.

His lip tip and I wonder what he has to be amused about.

"Don't be rude star, Jeter's brother is welcome here anytime" Mum says and that's when I finally notice other people in the room.

Liang for one.

My dad for another and also Jeter.

I only had eyes for one person.

Something strikes me and I turn to Mila

"Brothers?" I whisper as my mum leads us to the dinning room.

She throws me a look that says 'Well, I told you we had to talk'

I take my seat and I find my self sandwiched between two gods, Jeter to my left and you know who to my right.

My mom passes the breakfast rolls and I go to grab the basket but Jeter's there, placing some on my plate, I look to him but seems he's doing it instinctively.

He passes the rolls to Alixi who looks at it like an alien entity.

I grab the basket and place some homemade bread in front of him.

Breaking my own open with my hands and he watches me, before doing his.

I go back to my breakfast.

Jeter watches this interaction, his jaw locking.

Well, shove it mister, I'm not going to stop being kind because you and your brother are jerks.

"I do not like that word sona" Alixi says, and I turn.

"What word?" I query as the attention of everyone in the table comes to us.

"Jerk, that word"

My mum throws me a horrified look, "Star Marx, did you call the brother of your boyfriend a jerk in my table?" Jeter sits up straight at the word boyfriend.

I don't care, my mind is working on overdrive.

I stand, "You.." I point at Alixi "Follow me"

".. YOU.

. Stay right where you are" I say to a Jeter who is making attempts at standing.

I march Alixi to the lawn and he saunters after me, not a single care in the world.

We are out of sight so i light into him.

"How did you explain your eyes to my parents?"

"Thier daughter can raise the dead, they've seen stranger things." He says but I watch him unimpressed.

"Lucc..Jeter told them it was some sort of lens, For health purposes".

That's that.

Moving on.

"You can hear my thoughts?"

"Yes"

"When were you going to tell me?"

"I can only hear your thoughts when I'm in my own skin sona, they are lovely thoughts" He says and I almost slap my hand to my face.

"You have to stop, there is something called privacy"

"You don't get it Sona, it can never stop, it's the eternal link between us, binding us as God and wife" This time I really do slap my hands on my face.

"What do you mean wife?"

"Weddings are a formality gods don't indulge in, for all intents and purposes you are mine in the eyes of the gods"

"No, I'm not" I say with just the right amount of sarcasm and disbelief.

"let's see about rectifying that" He says and that's all I know before his lips meld to mine.

Invading my mouth and making me light-headed.

Memories push through and I remember all those times in my dream, the good times.

I don't want those memories so I push him, at his chest wanting him away from me.

He holds me tighter, kissing me deeper.

"Be still sona" A voice says in my head and my last bit of restraint falls away as I let myself get swept up in the kiss.
