We sat across from each other at a coffee shop. I gave my order while he sat there staring at me, not taking his eyes off me even for a second " what is it?" I gave up trying to ignore him.
" I am trying to figure you out, what goes on in your head " sitting back with his arms crossed, he stared at me like a puzzle
" What goes on in my head?" I questioned his words
"Yes. What are you thinking?" He asked
" I told you, I want to hang out and get to know you. It's not every day one comes in contact with something like you " I crossed my legs " also are you not like, suppose to be able to read my thoughts?"
" apparently " he unfolded his arms and adjusted himself
" Why?...." Curiously. I leaned forward and whispered, " Demons can't read minds?" I waited for an answer that will blow my mind
" Yes we can " he responded almost sarcastically " I just can't read yours "
" why?"
" I don't know. Maybe there is something wrong with your head " his words made me frown
" ouch " sitting back " so you can't read my mind... " I said, " what other thing doesn't work on me?" He lifts his eyeballs in thought
" I can't temper with whatever has to do with your head" eyes fell on me " your memories, thoughts, vision "
" memories?" I then realized why I have been looking like a crazy person. He tempers with people's memories and visions. And since it doesn't work on me..... " that explains so much... You've made people think I'm crazy. My friend believes that I am obsessed with a guy from my imagination. " stared angrily
" That is your fault, not mine. You are too inquisitive " I felt offended but chose to remain silent
" here you go " the waiter arrived with my mocha and Donuts, interrupting our conversation
" thank you "
" enjoy " with a smile he left
" so... You are a demon? Does that mean other creatures exist, the one I use to read about " he nodded slightly and his eyes fell on my drink " werewolf? "
" Yeah "
" Vampires? "
" yeap "
" witches, dragons, zombies, unicorns?"
"Seriously?" He cut me off " Zombies? Unicorns?"
" What?..... Blow my mind " I smiled while he watched me silently. " what about fairies? "
" Arrrrrrrrr Damn " he grumbled " I hate does creatures. Little things roaming around like flies, sticking their nose in people's business " irritated
" Fairies?" I was shocked, fairies did exist. I watched him reach for my mocha " hey " I barked but he ignored me, took a sip from the straw, nods in approval
" This is good " he compliments
" Don't you have Courtesy " I scold with a frown
" I........" Someone cut us off rudely
" Cleopatra?" The person sounded shocked. I lift my head to see that person, that person that I have promised never to see again, I would kill if I ran into. Forest green eyes, dark hair, perfect lips, 6 feet tall, perfect figure. My heart dropped to somewhere around my knees.
" Philip?" The name rolled out of my lips weakly and he gave me that devilish smile, the one I hated will my life " what....." I didn't know how to phrase my question. The sight of him filled me with all those emotions once again. Sadness, pain, disappointment and regret. My Ex
" Oh my God " sounding as energetic as always " Oh my God," said out loud again. His eyes fell on Vicnan, then me " is he your new boyfriend?"
" Philip what do you want? " trying to hide my anger
" I just wanted to say hi " he turns to Vicnan who gives him a blank expression " hoooooo " his cold " so you are the one fucking her now?" Said out loud
" Philip!!" I stood up in shock, didn't expect those words from him. Actually, I did, Philip is full of shit, so whatever he says doesn't surprise me but I didn't expect him to say it out loud to Vicnan. He doesn't know who he is speaking to " Philip!!!!" I yelled " I will call the police if you don't leave, " I said, trying my best to sound calm. Where the hell did he come from
" oh Fuck the police " he leans with both hands on the table " hey " to Vicnan. Vicnan didn't take his eyes off him " let me tell you something.....this lady here is a real pain in the ass, crazy " using his finger to demonstrate the crazy " but you want to know one thing " he looks at me with a smile then back at Vicnan who still carried a blank expression " she is nasty, knows how to give it in bed " he bits his lips " any man would get obsessed "
" Really?" Vicnan's sudden show of interest did not only surprise me but also provoked me. As a man who is out with me, I expected him to do something about the situation.
" Yeah. She fucks goooood " he emphasis
" Hey Philip " I called
"What?" Frowns
" fuck off "
"What?"
" I said, take your unfortunate self and fuck off " I yelled
" Ha " stands straight. He looks around and then back at me " I see you still got that bitchy attitude. Just like your mother, no wonder your father left " He said it. He always knew what to say, the right spot to hit me. Instantly I took off like a bomb, my fist found itself on his face, taking everyone by surprise and he backed off a few steps, his face turned to the side and eyes wide open. I punched him and that spot instantly turned red.
" fuck you!!!!!" I screamed
" did you just..." Shocked
" sue me if you can " with that I grabbed my bag, and my eyes fell on Vicnan who carried an impressed look but I was just too angry with him to say anything. I walked out of the coffee shop angrily.
Walking on the sidewalk angrily. Philip. That son of a bitch. To be honest, I felt satisfied with the punch I threw and will never regret it. All the emotions I felt earlier had vanished to my surprise.
Now I was just angry and with who? Vicnan. I was upset he didn't do anything about the situation. Even if there is no relationship between us, it would have been nice if he stood up for me, I mean, Will it kill?
But why am I even upset, he came on this outing against his will so he is allowed to react to the situation in whatever way. I stop at my track. " why am I upset with him?" I asked out loud " we have no relationship and this is a problem between me and my ex. It is normal if he says nothing " I analysed to myself" where is he anyways " looking around
" am right here "
" yaaa " I flinch in shock at the sudden appearance. " Damn I said don't do that " scold while turning around " what is that? " noticed a red stain on his brown jacket which wasn't there before " is that.....blood " immediately his fingers brushed the spot and the stain vanished. I studied our environment to see if no one noticed what he did " where did you go? "
" you angrily left me at the Coffee shop " he reminded me. Hearing that, it then occurs to me. I left him at the coffee shop and there is a blood stain on his jacket
"What did you do to him?" For odd reasons, I panicked
"Nothing much. Just left him somewhere he would cool off... He is really hot-headed" he said and walked past me.
Scared of what he must have done to Philip, I still found myself smiling at the thought. He helped me. Even if it wasn't immediately, he did something about the situation. " hey " I called after him, running to walk by his side " what do you mean cool him off?" Curiously
" you will find soon enough "
" hope you didn't kill him?" Worries in my tone
" I made sure he wouldn't die. If he does then where is the fun " his response smelt suspicious
" hey you are walking too fast " noticing his increase in speed "
" Try and keep up "

" you look happy. How was your day " Vivian asked, noticing my difference in behaviour
" Great " I shrugged " nothing really happened "
" it doesn't seem like nothing happened "
" Nothing happened Vivian... How did your family meeting go ?" Changing the topic
