Trapped With The Devil

Section 12

Eros frowned as Selena greeted her homecoming in a black dress and a thick patch of makeup. Moreover, the woman's expression looked calmer than the last time she saw.

"Where are you going?" eros asked as Selena passed him while climbing the stairs.

"Go to dinner."

Eros' hand moved faster, blocking Selena's hand and forcing her to turn. "What did you say?!"

Selena rolled her eyes while releasing the hand of Eros who was showering her with a gaze as if the man was going to devour her right then and there. "I'm sure you can hear me clearly."

"You know that's not what I mean."

Selena took a breath. The man's control is really bad. He was still wondering, why was it so tempting for Eros?

"I want to have dinner outside," Selena threw away, "you said you'd grant all my wishes, right?"

Eros' facial expression changed rapidly. "You want to have dinner with me?"

Selena grinned as she turned around. "I'm sure by now, you're completely deaf."

Eros stared at Selena's exposed back as the woman walked over to her back. It's freaky. Although Selena did not argue anymore, but this situation is very strange.

Either, Eros should feel happy or.which obviously all feels strange.

***

Eros indulges in Selena's wishes. A sumptuous dinner with VVIP rooms and a night view of the city from a height, accompanied by a steak combined with high quality wine. There was a violinist standing not far from the table. Add a romantic impression if only Selena and Eros have special feelings for each other.

It will definitely be an unforgettable memory for a lifetime, especially for Selena.

"You should have shot me here, not shown off at that boring reunion." Selena broke the silence and glanced at Eros who was slicing her steak in an elegant gesture.

"You want me to repeat it here?"

Selena laughed blandly. "No need."

"I don't think you like things that smell of luxury."

"I told you, don't judge me as if you know me very well" Selena warned.

Eros raised his head and glanced at him for a moment, "wasn't it weird when you suddenly asked to go to dinner with me?"

"Isn't this what you want?" Selena looked back at the man with a cynical smile. "I just don't want to waste the opportunity you gave me."

All of Selena's words are absolute innuendo. She hasn't changed, just trying to look different. Because Eros saw such a clear compulsion there.

"Aah!" Selena suddenly flicked her finger and smiled strangely, "just to tell you, I've ruined your last photo with your ex-lover who's your sister-in-law now." Selena didn't give Eros a chance to interrupt. "It would be troublesome if people knew that you still have memories with your ex-lover. So I hope you understand."

Eros. He can catch a satisfied tone and a little anger there. But for what? Jealousy, huh?

Selena chewed her flesh while waiting for the man's response. But Eros was silent and occasionally just sipped wine as if what Selena said a moment ago had no effect on him. This morning, Eros looked very angry. Is it possible that this man has a dual personality?!

"No need" said Eros without a second thought.

Selena quickly raised her head. "Whatchu mean? We can't stay together too long without any ties."

"We can get married."

Selena chokes. He beat his chest while grabbing a drink and gulped it greedily. The man's words really... "Stop saying something that doesn't make sense!"

Eros sighed softly. To be honest, he was very tired today. Even the steak with the best quality meat was very bland on his tongue. He had already lost his appetite when he met Emilia and hit her earlier.

"You think getting married is a joke?!" Selena's jaw hardens. "Your life seems to be just for messing around—"

"Why are you fooling around?" Cut Eros with its flat tone. "Didn't the world play tricks on you?" The man chuckled as he finished his wine in one gulp. "Why are you left alive if only to be left alone in this world? Isn't that cruel?"

"You're drunk" Selena accused as she threw away her face.

"I don't" Eros said. He called for the waiter to pour the wine back into his glass.

Selena glares. He quickly snatched the glass containing wine that the man would gulp down. "No. You have to drive."

Eros doesn't care. He grabbed his glass and sipped it quickly.

"Hey!"

Eros glared after Selena shouted, "you don't have to worry, I won't get drunk."

Selena snorted as she again sliced her flesh in annoyance. "Whatever!"

***

"Thank you, sorry to bother you." Selena bowed slowly towards the servant who had just helped her carry Eros' body which suddenly collapsed on the table. The man drooped helplessly beside the steering bench. And Selena could only sigh again, she had already guessed that Eros was not a man to be trusted.

Selena entered the car and served as the driver tonight. Actually he can take advantage of this situation to escape and return to the apartment. But after thinking the risk is too big, Eros could hurt the people closest to him if he was desperate to do all that.

"It's a big deal, why would I want to do all this for her?" Selena laughed bitterly. He moved towards Eros to attach his seat belt, but before his hand could reach it Eros's eyes suddenly opened.

Selena's frozen. He was too surprised.

"Hmm?" Eros murmured indistinctly, his two eyes narrowed. Next to her finger moved to stroke Selena's face between the dim light in the car. Their faces were so close, that they both seemed to be able to exchange breaths.

"I-I just want to pair the belt—"

"Shh." Eros's index finger touched Selena's lips until both sides of the tiny lips were covered, forbidding her to say anything. The two eyes of the man were very cute and this was the first time Selena saw him. "Don't say anything, if it's something that's gonna hurt me..."

The two lips meet. Warm and soft.

"...Emilia."
