His Heavenly Sins

02 | Teach God Some Manners

Their gaze burns into my soul and I stare back at them feeling tiny and powerless. I take in my other surroundings. It's not only the god's eyes on me, it's a bunch of people. At the sides sits almost a hundred people watching me.

If I wasn't nervous before I definitely am now. Three people are sitting on thrones in front of me. I'm assuming those are the gods that Milo was talking about. If they weren't then they'd just be really beautiful people.

"So," The man sitting in the middle starts talking. "Aurora, is it?" His voice echoes around the room. It's loud and has authority.

I nod my head too afraid to speak.

"Well if you didn't know already, " He says. "You are in heaven," He points to one of the women beside him, "This is Lora."

She smiles at me, "Nice to meet you Aurora." She was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. I had to keep my mouth from dropping to the floor. I nod back at her.

"And to my right here is Valtia," he points at her and again I have to keep my mouth from dropping.

Valtia seems more giddy and excited. She waves to me with a big smile. I give her a small shy wave back.

"And u can call me Argus," He gives me a warm smile. "So Aurora," He starts again "Tell me, Do you think you deserve to be here?" He watches me intently.

I would've never gotten drunk if I knew this is what it would've let to.

Somehow this moment right now is more petrifying than when I was dying.

I have no idea how I'm supposed to answer the question even though it was all I was asking myself when I got here. I muster up all my courage and speak. "Uh, I think so." My voice echoed throughout the room as well but it didn't hold power and authority as theirs did.

I think so? I wouldn't even be mad at them if they sent me to hell right now.

"You think so?" He asks amused.

"Well I mean I haven't killed anyone or super bad like that," I say stupidly. "Unless you count that one time I accidentally ran over a squirrel but then I felt super bad and I started crying so I buried it and gave it a funer-" my blabbering is interrupted by Argus's laugh, "Sorry," I say embarrassed.

"No that's alright, "His laughter slowly fading to a smile, "I assume you're not normally this nervous?"

"No it's just all of this is well a lot," I say looking around at everything. "I died less than thirty minutes ago and now here I am meeting god its-" he interrupts me again

Wow someone needs to teach god some manners.

"Hold on? God?" He asks looking confused. "Is that what you've been told? That we're god?" I nod causing him to throw his head back and laugh. "We're not gods Aurora."

Oh. I'm more embarrassed than ever now.

"Then who are you?"

"We're just powerful beings who look after this place." He clarifies. "I guess you could say we work for god." I notice Lora rolls her eyes at that. "I'm sorry for the confusion." He calls Milo over to me. "Milo show her around for the rest of the day will you?"

Milo nods. "It would be my pleasure."

"Thank you." He shifts his gaze back on me. "It was a pleasure meeting you Aurora."

It had been about 3 hours and Milo said he had one last place to show me. To say this place was huge would be an understatement. While showing me around Milo had answered most of my questions. When I asked why there weren't like at least a billion people here, he said there are different heavens; kind of like sections. I don't know how to feel about that yet.
