Caught on the loop

Now that makes sense.

"How about the other girl? yung may mahabang scythe."

He smirked.

" Its Alejandria, my previous pet and also Ash's Ex-wife."

Naubo ako bigla.

Nabilaokan ako sa sinabi niya.

Dali-dali niya naman akong pinainom ng gatas.

"Ok ka lang?".

"O-ok lang, nagulat lang ako sa sinabi mo."

" Ash has this toxic habit of collecting or snatching things I have my eyes on..."

" Ilang babae na ba ang naging alaga mo na kinolekta ni Ash?"

"Hmmm..."

Napaisip siya.

Wow lang ha... Ganon na ba talaga karami yung babae niya?

" I've had 15 girls for the past two hundred years, he married all of them but alejandria was the only one who divorced him."

"So hanggang impyerno uso pala yung divorce..."

Patawa kong sabi.

" Not really, it was just Alejandria..."

"What's so special about her?"

" I helped her be released from Ash."

"Aaaaaahhhh..."

I responded looking away from his gaze.

"Are you jealous?"

" Bat naman ako magseselos sa babaeng yon?"

"I don't know, but you sound like you are jealous though..."

He said teasing me.

Bigla kong inagaw yung tinidor mula sa kanya at mag-isa kong tinusok yung mga strawberry at nilagay sa bunganga ko.

Natawa naman siya at kinuha yung tinidor sa kamay ko at pinagpatuloy na subuan ako.

"Out of all the girls I've been with,  she was the only one who truly loved me back, that's why I valued her the most. I just had this sense of gratitude towards her so I had to do something for her."

Napatango lang ako.

Nawalan na ako ng ganang pagusapan pa si Alejandria kaya iniba ko yung topic.

" Ganun ba talaga sa impyerno? Over sized yung mga sandata?"

" Oh you mean Alejadria's scythe?"

I nodded.

" Its the standard weapon for Grim Reapers... Its not a special treatment or something..."

" Grim reaper?"

" Yeah , I asked Hades to give her a job so she could stay alive in Hell, and I guess Hades choose the best one for her."

" Can Grim reapers have a family of their own?"

He chuckled again.

"Why'd you asked that? Are you afraid that Alejandria would snatch me away from you?"

I scoffed.

" Luh wala akong sinabing ganyan. Curious lang talaga ako"

"Grim reapers can't have any relationship towards anyone. Their sole purpose is to serve the underworld's King and escort wondering souls to their final destination."

Nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag.

Di ko talaga kasing maiwasang magselos kasi nakita ko kung gaano ka ganda at sexy yung babaeng yun kahit may itim pa siyang suot na robe.

" Does that helped you calm down?"

He asked while caressing my shoulder.

I nodded and smiled.

"You don't have anything to be worried about, I'm all yours."

He whispered close to my ears.

Hinalikan niya muli yung noo ko at sinubo sa akin yung mga natitirang pagkain sa plato.

" Good girl . . . "

He said while I gulped the remaining milk in the glass.

Ibinalik nya yung mga plato pati na kubyertos pabalik sa tray.

"I'll go wash these first... Behave ok?"

I nodded and smiled.

He made his way down the stairs.

I moved the wheel chair towards his bookshelf.

Gusto ko sanang abutin yung libro pero baka may mangyari nanamang di ka nais-nais kaya I decided not to.

I just stared at them closely when all of a sudden Gray's laptop lit up and started playing a ringing tone.

I quickly moved towards the desk and checked who's calling.

My heart beat stopped and dropped to the ground.

I immediately screamed on top of my lungs and called out Gray's attention

" GRAAAAAAAY! GRAAAAY COME HERE!!!!! HURRY !!!"

"Coming!"

I heard Gray's voice coming upstairs.

" I couldn't just leave you for a second huh..."

He said as he was walking towards me.

I pointed at the screen and looked horrified at him.

"They're calling..."
