Adele glared maliciously at me, she snatched the hamburger I was holding from me.. and began to eat it.

"I can't believe you did this to me!" She snapped at me.

"It's not my fault, you know... "

"Then whose fault it is? Mine?!" she eyed me.

I kept quiet and wore my shoes, I reached for my small hand bag and headed towards the door..

I heard her footsteps coming behind me, so, I knew she's following me.

We stepped outside and I locked my door, then we started walking down our street.. the main road is just a few meters away from our apartments.

"You made me wait for you, to the extent that I'm already late.. just to tell me you aren't going to work today?"

"I completely forgot I'll be visiting ma Gloria"

"Well, you can visit her after work"

I shook my head, I searched in my bag for my phone.. which I found immediately.

"I can't visit her after work, visiting hours are over then" I replied.

"Is visiting her today really so important?" She asked.

"Yeah.. I wanna talk to her about something very important"

Our discussion today will really help Thanatos, I just hope ma Gloria would open up to me or agree to speak with her son.

"Hmm" Adele sighed. "I'll just have to suffer Elvis's wrath alone today" she lets out a dramatic sigh.

She popped the last bite of hamburger in her mouth, snatched my bottle of water from my bag and took a few gulps.. before returning it.

I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Why are you keen on snatching my food and son's food today, don't tell me you didn't cook in your house"

She shook her head miserably.

"Don't remind me, Clark almost burned down my apartment.. I barely made it out alive"

I laughed at her expression as she said this, there's a horror look on her face.

"I swear, I won't let him in my kitchen ever again"

I laughed again, I'm so lucky my Thanatos can cook, at least, he helps me with the little he can.

"Right.. you're gonna help me with something later" she said.

"What?"

She opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off.

"Don't tell me you wanna get a revenge on someone, I'm not gonna fight.. I'm feeling easily exhausted recently!"

"Hey, you're making it sound as though I only need your help to fight off my foes"

I arched an eyebrow at her.

"Am I wrong?"

She grinned widely.

"Well, there might be a little truth there"

I rolled my eyeballs at her statement, little truth indeed!

"Actually, this time, I'm visiting Clark's parents and last time I left a bad first impression"

I bite back a laugh, which she noticed and narrowed her eyes at me.

"So, you're gonna help me doll up like an innocent church girl.. I don't want them to see me as some irresponsible girl" she said with a hint of... nervousness?
