"F*ck you! You got me scared!", Ellen jumped back in fright, her hands making their way up to her chest out of reflex, calming her frightened heart.
True, the girl had always been missing out on the fundamental standards and norms of the society she was raised in, however, she never let her guards down and let anyone treat her the other way around. She was bold and could be irrational sometimes when it came to terms she hadn't deep knowledge of, for instance, the sex, but the audacious nature always retained her energetic posture before everyone.
"I would gladly but I've lost the count of bodies I've f*cked up until now. Little fawn, if you're okay with this, shall we proceed?", plastering a derisive smile, grim started closing the distance between them. She protectively caged herself in-between her arms, closing her eyes shut.
"Oh please! Keep your dirty hands away from my body. I'm still a virgin", a light chuckle escaped Shawn's lips upon hearing Ellen's utterance. Anything but this was the least he had expected to hear this from a mortal.
"Come on now. Do you need me to tell you that no one is a virgin on this Earth?", Ellen's eyebrows shot up, waiting for grim to continue what he actually meant.
"Even when a baby is born, it starts sucking on the nipples of the mother that is one of the activities involve in sexual intercourse. Do you still think if you're a virgin, you are innocent like innocent babies which are also not-so-innocent since the day one they're born?", Ellen squinted her eyes in utter surprise, trying to absorb every word the latter had just uttered but no it was impossible!
Such gibberish of him thinking this way!
"Have you lost it there?", a scoff meshed with pure surprise fled from her mouth.
"That's a mother-infant relationship that your dirty mind is confusing with the intimate physical connection between individuals!"
To say that Ellen was shocked would be an understatement. She was thunderstruck and stupefied and dumbfounded! How could someone question the act of innocence, the pure maternal bond between a mother and her baby! Grim's mind, unquestionably, was out of this planet.
Massaging her temples, she walked past grim, leaving the latter to decipher what just happened, alone. This was the first time when someone on the earth, a mortal being yelled at him. Nonetheless, he wasn't angry at Ellen.
"You've got the audacity to yell at me? I like it."
He smiled to himself and instantly went after Ellen.
"Have someone told you that you look hot when you're angry?", one thing that grim couldn't overlook was the expression that took over the mild and peaceful face of Ellen when she burst into anger.
"Stop following me", she groaned ignoring grim's comment.
"Who said I'm following you. I'm just walking along with you", sliding hands inside his pocket, he replied.
"That's the same thing stupid."
"Now you're calling me names. This is gonna be an interesting roller coaster ride."
"What's the problem with them?", when the two were walking down the streets, Ellen noticed some people glaring at them, more precisely at grim.
"Can I get your number please?", a blond hair girl, in a V-neck dress that was hardly reaching her knees, stopped before them.
"People really have no shame nowadays", today should've been marked as Skies Bestowing Ellen with Mighty Surprises.
"Sur-", grim was about to type his number in the phone that girl handed over to him but upon seeing Ellen walking ahead, he decided to dismiss the hot meal saying "Sorry but I'm taken."
"I'm gonna meet her tonight at her place", for some reason he was enjoying teasing the harmless little fawn up to the heavens.
"Tag red whine along when you go there. Citizens of Los Angeles really love it", Ellen smiled showing an I-don't-give-a-shit attitude to grim.
"Can you at least put your mask on if you're walking with me? These needy people don't seem to resist your hot body", they were a couple of blocks away from Ellen's house. Grim's apartment building was a few blocks ahead of Ellen's house.
"You just admitted that my body is hot. Like what you see?", Ellen facepalmed herself mentally for not thinking before saying anything to this guy who's been nothing but a real pervert ever since today he had shown up at the library.
Rolling her eyes and virtually pummeling the grim's new remark, she continued in her track.
"Okay, I'd if I had it", he said.
"So you lie as well."
"I'm not lying", noticing her house from some distance, grim said.
"I saw you following me wearing that mask", Ellen recalled the memory of someone who was following her a few moments ago and she was sure that the person was wearing a mask.
"I followed you but I wasn't wearing any mask", they stopped in front of her house.
"It was you running to hide behind a tree when I turned around", Ellen said now in a bit of annoyance as grim was repeatedly dropping himself off from the incident that had happened.
"I never hid behind a tree", grim maintaining his cool composure, replied. He wasn't lying though. He did was following the latter but he would never hide from something or someone that belonged to him.
Yeah, Ellen belonged to him until the moment he finished his task.
But if grim wasn't following her, then who we the person running behind the tree upon seeing Ellen turning around?
"Now I'm imagining things. I think I need some rest", straightening out her arms, she yawned.
"Anyway, goodbye. Hope to not see you again", she unlocked the door and slammed it hard on grim's face.
"Let's see how you will escape your fate", grim chuckled and continued making his way towards his apartment.
Grim never had a relationship with anyone on Earth. He barely talked to them whenever he came to Earth. That would only happen if he was there not for his mission but to kick some free time. Yeah, long drives, the activity he was very much fond of.
Yesterday when he went to meet Ian, he argued with the spirit of air for taking the nasty advantage of his powers and not letting grim accomplish his task. Ian first poked fun at grim whining like a five-year-old. But after some time, he assured grim that he wouldn't do any such thing again and that he could finish his mission this time without Ian being involved in it. On his visit to Realm of Skies, Catherine pleasured grim that he gladly received.
Catherine, the goddess of love, was head over heels for a dark grim reaper.
Today when he returned to Earth, Jeremy told him that he could finish things right away as Ellen was on her job.
When both of them reached the place, they heard someone talking to Ellen over the phone which they presumed was Ellen's friend as the girl said "Yeah I'm outside Ellen. I'll be there in a few seconds."
Grim told Jeremy to buy him some time. Jeremy, as being told, pulled an act in front of Ellen's friend, Chloe.
Grim quietly reached his destination. But he didn't know what took over him when he saw those innocent and bright eyes of Ellen. He kept staring at her until she got startled and all that happened afterwards. Yeah, he missed his chance of writing her name in the Death Note, again.
While missing the chances in a row, he had forgotten the miseries he was digging himself into.
