The Creator stared down at the trembling demon before him.
"Listen very well to me, Xuvicer. I am the one that gave you your daughter, Raven, and I know the reason why I gave her to you and not to any other demon in Hasma"
Xuvicer doesn't raise his head up but remains in that posture for a short while before answering.
"You know what I did in Heaven was wrong, so why did you give Raven to me? Why are you making me suffer now that she's not with me? When you know that you will take her away from me, why did you give her to me?"
"I know I gave her to you. I gave her to you because I know force will be her life. I know that you were going to train her in a way of strength, a way of love, and in a way that she will be bold and decisive. Taking strong decisions -"
"Strong decisions, huh?! Decisions strong enough to leave her own father!" Xuvicer yells in tears.
The Creator doesn't move. He didn't even let him finish yet before spilling those crocodile tears of his.
Yeah, it's a kind of pretense.
"Don't worry, Xuvicer. Raven is in good hands. But you can't get her back because you are going to force her to mar-"
"I'm not doing that" Xuvicer says, but his voice is heard like he spoke from some distance far away.
He stands up from his kneeling position and stares directly at the covered face of the Creator.
"I'm not some god that will cover my face from the person I created and never enforce some things on my creations"
Huh. This is interesting.
"I am a Father. Of my only child, and I never hide my face from her. My strictness and the force are not hidden away from her because I love her. I want her to know that and see me as someone she can trust... "
The Creator smiles. This is someone he created.
"Someone she can see every time, she can feel when she wants to, someone she can talk to when life had gone wrong for her"
The Angels that have spears pointing at him are feeling the emotions run through their veins. But they don't lower their weapons, nor let their guards down just because he's becoming emotional all of a sudden.
"Someone that's always there for her"
The Creator smiles. A warm heart you got there, kid.
"Good one, Xuvicer"
Xuvicer eyes redden. His fists do not try to unfold.
"But I can't help you"
Immediately the Creator utters that, Mighty whirlwind rushes towards Xuvicer and sweeps him off his feet, taking him back to Hasma, where he came from.
The Creator sighs and closed his eyes as he watches Xuvicer land in Hasma.
There...
That's where he belongs.
...
"Mrs. Jane, You should know that men get a bit jealous when their wives are caught talking with other men. Especially when they see them laughing together and getting along"
Jane glares at James as Hyde unveils the truth before her. So she was right? It was jealousy, huh?
"Most times, when we don't get too friendly, it happens that we may threaten the man talking to our wives, making them walk off. Scared"
Jane gapes at Hyde as he continues talking.
So men are this protective? Interesting.
"I can guess that's the same from the women. My wife does it to me a lot"
James time to glare.
"Are you talking about men or women now?"
"Both actually. I think whatever men do, women do better"
"Excuse me?" Almost all the maids and their Mistress asks in unison.
"Yup, I agree on that one with you, Mr. Hyde"
"Oh really? "Jane asks with a smile on her face.
"You guys won't say that when it comes to the good things men do"
The maids hail their Mistress with what she just said in agreement. She got that one right.
"None of you can fix the toilet well" James retorts and Jane smacks his hand playfully as they all laugh, including the maids and servants around.
"As I said, you won't say that when it comes to the good things men do"
Hyde smiles widely seeing the young couple laugh about what James just said. He deliberately brought that topic up because it works every time for him.
Whenever a couple that he's counseling doesn't look too good or isn't in a really good mood, he usually brings this topic up to talk about the differences between men and women and if it doesn't work at first, he'll chant that its girls that run the world.
While the woman makes sure her ego grows, the man always finds a way if making her laugh by retorting what the counselor (Hyde) said.
And then a happy and really cool atmosphere will come up That's what usually happens.
And that's the method he used on James and
Jane, and it apparently worked!
Well... Well done, Hyde!
"You know, most times when a man wants to make his wife happy, you make sure you credit your wife for everything you've done and- "
"Hyde, you came here to counsel not-"
"Shhh... Don't interrupt him! He's saying the truth" Jane whispers
James looks at his wife with those smirky eyes of his that she misses and hasn't seen for like... Approximately, three hours now.
"Oh yeah... He always says the truth once he credits you"
Jane raises a brow at him then rolls her eyes.
He's back with that flirty nature of his again.
Jane jolts up when she felt her butt squeeze a bit. Did he just do that?
What has her body not seen today? Just what?
"I want to let you know that every man needs satisfaction, Mrs. Jane. And when I say satisfaction, I mean sexual satisfaction"
Jane's chest is becoming hot now, gosh, what's happening to her?
"No man will like it when the wife gets to decide the time to have sex with her husband"
"Sir, I think that's enou-"
"Please continue Mr. Hyde. We're listening"
Jane freezes. Did James just say that?
"Mr. James can do anything he likes with you whether you like it or not because marrying him is becoming part of him. So to accomplish that mission of becoming part of him, you have to open your body to him, and he does the same to you. That's... "
"So, are you saying we are going to...? "
"Appear naked? Definitely"
Jane's eyebrows shot up "Wow"
"Things will happen between the both of you. And that is the most exciting part of marriages, you know"
"Exciting?"Jane chuckles her question out and Hyde and her husband glared at her, making her shut her mouth tight!
"I can leave for the both of you to try it here and now"
"Mr. Hyde that isn-"
"Yes. Please, lead him to the visitor's living room and all of you should stay there with him"
Immediately the order was given, everyone started carrying it out. Mr. Hyde followed the servants and maids to where James said.
Jane stares at James as he smirked at her, unbuttoning his shirt slowly.
As his hands trailed down the buttons of his shirt, unbuttoning it, her eyes also followed slowly.
"Are you doing this to- "
"Shish now" James takes his shirt off and tosses it on another couch near the one Jane is seated.
"So many people have done this before. I still wonder why you're a virgin" he smiles and Jane can't even move.
Her butt is squarely stuck to the cushion and she doesn't even know the next move to take.
"I just moved in last night, James"
"Do you think married people don't do this immediately they get married?"
Is he mocking her? For not being intimate with him on her first night staying here or what?
What is he getting at now?
"James, i-"
But before Jane could say anything, James cups those pink and beautiful lips of hers in his. Three times a day and it still feels so good.
He takes Jane's hair and tangles it between his fingers, making bubbles of developing butterflies in her stomach wildly.
Why is she feeling like this all of a sudden?
As he slides his lips down her neck, he teasingly bites her neck softly and withdraws.
"I just thought over this"
Jane's heartbeat is speeding like a speed boat! She can't even think straight!
What is he thinking over?!
A divorce? Separation? End of the counsel?
Or is it...
"How about we leave this till midnight?"
