I smiled at my boyfriend, he was ordering Werewolf's piss and Unicorn Blood.
Yeah, those are chocolate and banana floured icecream. Again, afterlife people like weird names. He turned to smile at me and then I heard a voice from afar.
My eyes flew open and I stared at Mat in annoyance. One because I was having such an amazing dream and he ruined it for me and two because he was the one I'd been dreaming about.
But of course he was clueless about that.
He smiled cutely at me but I just couldn't smile back.
I've lost count of time because I realised that time here was a little different but I've also grown attached to a certain sweet and flirty Grim reaper who seldom comes around now. I haven't seen Flirty Grim reaper in a pretty long time and I miss him.
"I told you, you're only getting the Unicorn Sweat if you can make me cry", Mat's words filtered into my thoughts.
"yeah, I give up", I whispered.
"it's not that hard....i mean there are other things harder than that", he continued.
"like what?", I asked.
He pretended to think for a moment and then he pinched the bridge of my nose slightly, making me frown "Never mind, lets go"
He grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the house.
I laughed.
Mat stared at my face. She is so beautiful, he thought. How the hell does a person still look pretty when they're technically dead but undead?. He knew she still didn't know he was Maitri, how the hell was he supposed to tell her that Mat and Maitri are one and the same person without losing her?
Grim Reaper law 2100: A Grim reaper shall not harbour any emotions whatsoever especially in the lines of his duties.
Grim Reaper law 2101: A Grim reaper shall not fall in love with a soul.
He sighed and I turned to look at him,
"Are you okay?", I asked and he nodded.
"I'm good, I'm just... you know", he faked a laugh.
I frowned a little.
"come on, lets get ourselves some Unicorn Sweat. Maybe we should also try Reapers Blood too", I suggested.
"Okay that flavour is seriously overrated! Besides, I'm a rea-", he paused quickly, eyes widening a little.
My eyes shot up at him in confusion
"you're a what?", I asked and he cleared his throat
"I'm a realistic person...i don't believe Reapers have black blood. I don't want to try that flavour",
I laughed, "you're not even a person...but fine...what colour do you think a reaper's blood is?"
"Purple", he answered.
I laughed again.
"Okay fine. let's try Werewolf's Piss"
"yeah... I love that idea....but it's Goblin's Piss, Werewolf Saliva and Reapers Blood and Unicorn's Sweat", he said with a smile.
"oh", that's all I said as I remembered my dream this afternoon. Guess my dream was inaccurate afterall I had mixed up the ice cream flavours. He'll probably never ask me to be his girlfriend, I'm sure he doesnt even have any feelings for me. But I couldn't stop myself from wanting him to.
Mat does have a cute smile. His smile reminds me of Maitri's.
"so you do know that this is a date right?", he asked and I laughed.
"what?. You never asked me on a date so I don't think so", I easily whispered.
"really?. So you want a do over?", he asked.
"Yes please", I said while batting my eyelashes.
"fine, then I shall take you to a library"
I frowned.
"What?...library?"
He gave a dimpled smile. "I mean, cinema"
Now I smiled.
"Yes cinema. that's a good idea"
"then you should rememeber this smile when I ask you something else later on"
I nodded excitedly.
Would he ask me to be his girlfriend?
He looked me in the eyes and his hand slowly brushed my cheek. His touch sent warm tingles down my spine and I saw his eyes cloud with a dark emotion.
Maybe lust? love? Regret?
"Okay, lets go in", he said before ushering me into the New Soulite Theatre.
As soon as I sat down, he placed his AID on the right side of his seat where they was some sort of a card reader and automatically popcorn appeared in front of our seats in small sparkly transparent containers.
Talk about design. The afterlife sure does it good.
"I see you bought popcorn", I smiled at him.
"Yes Mi lady"
The movie titled "VAMPIRE BUT IT'S OKAY" started soon and we found ourselves staring at the screen.
After the movie ended, I was smiling all the way.
"that was a really crazy movie", I whispered.
"Yeah it was", he confirmed and then he smiled, "and here's one more crazy thing. Nirvana....", he hesitated and said
"Hmmm?", I hummed in answer
"Will you-",
I stared at his face when he paused again.
He took a deep breath, "never mind", he added.
I was a little disappointed because I thought he was gonna ask me to be his girlfriend. Maybe I was right. He didn't have any feelings for me.
"I do...i have feelings for you", he suddenly said.
My eyebrows shot up, "oh"
I smiled.
Mat was beside himself with anger. Who made those stupid laws and wasn't there a way he could have both his job and his girl?. A lot of time has passed and he realised he'd grown attached to her, he really wanted to ask her to date him.
And it was driving him crazily especially because of her thoughts. He could read every single one of her thoughts. It didn't make sense that she thought he didn't like her. And he couldn't let her harbor those dreadful thoughts.
He asked even before his insecurities could cloud his mind and make him hesitate again
"will you be my girlfriend?"
"what?", she asked in surprise.
Mat asked when I least expected it. Did he read my thoughts?
"so?....is it a yes?",
"YES! Omg yes!"
I smiled as he quickly pressed a short peck on to my lips. Guess he's confident now that I said yes but something was making me curious. Is it him or do all souls have powers?
"yes"
Did he just read my mind?
"yes"
really?
"yes"
Do you love me?
"yes!"
And I'm not crazy right?
"No, You're not crazy. I do have powers and you can't ask questions. Like I said before, my job is classified"
"Sure, but you're going to have to tell me some day", I shrugged.
Suddenly, I was pressed against his chest, his midnight eyes staring into the recesses of my soul. His head slowly dipped down and my eyes instantly fluttered close as his lips pressed against mine in a sweet kiss.
