Where did we go wrong?

Part 8

Asmodeus sighed one more time as he was reading a document in his laptop. Sera noticed that Asmodeus has been sighing for a while now. After the latest sigh, she had to check what was bothering Asmodeus.

"Darling, what is bothering you?" Sera asked her husband.

"Nothing," Asmodeus answered quickly without looking up from his laptop. Sera knows Asmodeus will avoid eye contact when he is lying.

"You know that you can't lie. Right?" Sera smiled as she observed Asmodeuss stiff body language.

"No, I just can't lie to you." Sera smiled sweetly.

"Now tell me darling, what is bothering you?" Sera sat down on a chair in Asmodeuss home office.

"I'm scared about the future, Sera. I'm scared about our boy's future. I know he is doing well at studies, and he will be more than eligible to take over our business when the timing is right, but his obsession with that Camille girl is going to get him in a big trouble sooner rather than later. Asmodeus felt much lighter after pouring his heart out to his wife.

To be honest, I have been thinking about that recently, but at least our Magnus has a strong support system around him. All his friends are good kids. Alec, Jace, Izzy, and everyone else are going to be there for our boy. I am sure Magnus will get over Camille. He will, I just know Sera reassured her husband.

Remember? You also used to go after hot girls when we were in university.?"

"And I got the hottest girl of them all." Asmodeus winked.

"As if. It was me who came after you. You ignored me because I was a nerd.

"My dark past," Asmodeus said in a dramatic way as he put his hands over his chest. Sera smiled.

"Magnus will find true love. Just like us." Sera said as she had someone in mind already.

"I feel like his true love is already with him. He just doesn't see it. Asmodeus knew what Sera was thinking.

"But Alec doesn't seem to be interested in Magnus in that way, honey. At least, just not yet."

"That's why we have to give them a push. Look at them. They are like us. Can understand each other even before they say something. Always there for each other. That is beyond just friendship."

"I know. Maryse was telling the same to me the other day.

Maybe we should all have a chat together and see if we can play the role of Cupid Asmodeus suggested.

As much as I would love to do that, I dont think it will go down well with parents trying to set up teenagers. Let them decide what they want.

Uh.. boring! Asmodeus groaned. He so wanted to play the role of Cupid."

"Honey!" Sera chuckled.

"What? I'm telling the truth. "

When Sera and Asmodeus were having a chat about Magnuss future, Magnus received a call from Camille.

"Camille," Magnus answered the phone, even before the second ring.

"Magnus," Camille's silky-smooth voice came through the phone.

"I have a party at my place tonight, and we kinda ran out of drinks. Can you buy some?"

"But, Camille, we are underage." When Magnus said that Magnus heard groans from at least 20 people.

"I told you, he is boring," someone other than Camille said. That made Magnus angry as he was anything but boring.

"No. I'll buy some. Yeah, it should be alright. What do you want?" Magnus replied quickly.
