Your Aegean Blue (BibleBuild)

Chapter 4 : Dream.

(Gav)

"Son, wake up." i grabbed my phone which still on my bed, i think i overslept until i forgot to put my phone away.

"What?" i asked my father what he needs from me, because it's Sunday and only 7 AM. Did he forget i came home around 2 AM this morning?

"Your mother is here." my father said it with a smile. Which succeed at making my eyes open wide and get off the bed right away.

"She's waiting for you." he added.

I opened my bedroom door, and yes, i found this beautiful lady with brown soft-waved hair smiling at me. She have a dimples, too. I think i got this soft and pretty facial feature from her.

"Ma?"
"You're grown. Beautifully grown."
"Why are you here? I thought you were dead." i asked with this bare'just woke up' face.

"I came here to tell you that you are Gavrielle Caleb, the son of Aphrodite, goddess of love, desire, and beauty. With your mortal father, named Vincent Caleb. And i also came here to telling you that the moon and the death trying to harm you. Trust the ones who keeping you save. And keep reading that cover to cover, to find your purpose in life." she said.

"Don't you missed me?" i asked.

"And you, Gavrielle Caleb, claimed by Vaughn, son of Hades." she added.

"Take care of yourself. You have the great power within you. And you have to find the future. He's near. I love you, son."

Then i woke up (again), that was all are dream.

It's Sunday, 12 PM. It still running through my mind, the picture of my mother so clear and real. I can even smell her, like flowers and vanilla. She's perfect and the most beautiful human i've ever met. My father never showed me the picture of her, he said that they were never thought of taking picture and just enjoyed every moments when they were together.

"Pa.." i called my father which reading something on his ipad, while crossing his legs together and lower his glasses. So old person behaviour.

"Yes, son." 

"What's mama's name again?" i remembered that i even forget her name.

"Aimi. Means beautiful love." he answered just that, not asking me anything more. I know he did it on purpose so i don't have the opportunity to ask more about my mother.

<hi, i got your number from Kefas. are you awake?>

I got text from unknown number. After few texts, he told me that he's Vaugh. He felt guilty for not asking my number and just drove off. But it was also my fault, told him to text me, but didn't give him my number.

<are you free? can you accompany me to the bookstore?>

That's what i texted him. Risking on my life and hiding my face from embarassement. I can easily ask Kefas to go with me, but he'd asking so many questions about what i'm gonna buy. So, it's easier to go with Vaugh which not close enough to asks questions.

He agreed and gonna pick me up at 3.

I was came out from the bathroom when i saw Vaugh already have a chat with my father in the living room while sipping something i don't know what, from my favorite mug.

"Vaugh. You came early." i tried to cover up because i only wearing my short underpants and topless.

"I'll be right back." then i went inside my bedroom to change.

"It's only 2 PM, we agreed that we'll go at 3, right?" i tried to remember and i'm pretty sure i said pick me up at 3.

"I have nothing to do, and i remember your father invite me to come over if i have time. And now i have time. So..." his answer making me confuse what answer i should say after this.

"He's a really good kid. I like him." my father is trying to get on my nerve again.

"Pa.. we have to go." i try to grab Vaugh's hand and runaway from my father as soon as possible.

"You can't go now, the rice just cooked. We just have to wait for three or five minutes before the rice is set and we should eat together." okay pa. But that's, embarassing. I only know Vaugh for few days. I'm pretty sure he won't go out with me anymore after this.

"Pa, i don't think Vaugh can eat what you cooked."

"I can eat whatever you cooked, sir." he stopped me and talk to my father.

"Great. Come." my father stood up and Vaugh following him while taking a glance to my face and smile. "I think, i need to eat. So we don't have to eat outside and wasting money." he whispering to me and left.

I have no choice than follow them. Long story short, we ate together and my father was laughing the whole time when he was talking to Vaugh. And Vaugh, i don't know that he can be this warm. For a moment, i forgot about my dream this morning and really enjoy this moment. Even if he's not my boyfriend, but i guess my father happy because he met my friend other than Kefas. Maybe in his mind right now, he says things like 'i'm glad my son is have another friend than that stupid kid, Kefas.'.

---

"Thank you." i said. Now we're on his black car which i don't know what type of car is this, but i know it's expensive one and different from the one he drove me last night.

"For what?"

"Talking to my father. He always pushing me to bring another friend beside of Kefas. It doesn't mean he hates Kefas, but he was just thinking that i can't make friend with anyone else than Kefas."

"I like your father, though. I never talk to my father." i really want to ask more about his life story, but i can't. I know how people like us doesn't want someone intefere to their life.

"By the way, what you're wanna buy at the bookstore? And why don't you ask Kefas, like what you usually do, based on what your father told me." he asked.

"Vaugh.. If i telling you a tale.. Do you think you're gonna believe it?" i changed my position to facing him.

"What tale? Mermaid? Vampire? Werewolf?" he's just randomly guessing.

"How about god and goddess?" he startled and looking at me strangely.

"I know it sounds weird. But i have this dream, feels so real, and.."

"Who's your mom? Did she tells you her name?" suddenly Vaugh asked me that, without any chit-chat and straight to the point.

"How did you know? Did the Vaughn that my mom mentioned, is you? Vaugh?" i asked as he asked and i remember about the last sentence that she said.

"What?" he pulls up his car and focus talking to me.

"What she said?" he asked.

"She said her name is Aphrodite. And it was like, be careful because the moon and the death trying to harm me, and i have to find the future because it's near, and she said like this; Gavrielle Caleb, claimed by Vaughn, son of Hades." Vaugh throw his back facing his seat and running his hand through his hair, his face looked like he's thinking something serious but i don't know it's his angry face or thinking face.

"Do you believe me?" i reassure myself which he believe me or not.

"Are you sure about that 'Vaughn' part?" he asked.

"Yes."

"Can i?" he asked while his hand trying to touch my neck.

"What?" i asked and brought my shoulder up like covering my neck from his touch.

"This." he move his hand direction from my neck to my hand. He touch my right wrist and suddenly i saw sketch like tattoo on my wrist.

"Whoa.. what's this?" i asked while bring my wrist up close to my face.

"That's our marks. The god and goddess children." he said.
