Chapter 6
Tina and Cupid ate the dinner she prepared and straightened the house from the damage Eros caused. The baby cheer up stay on her bed sleeping on his stomach as though he were a real baby. Tina place a blanket over him and put a teddy bear next to him while his wings covered him keeping him warm. Cupid shook his head looking at how this child was soaking up all the love and attention of mother would have given him had he survived as a baby.
He never knew they wanted to be nurtured it never dawned on him they needed it since they were brought to life with rage and anger that fueled Eros.
The couple sat up late looking at episodes of Sanford and Son laughing. I never get tired of these episodes Cupid said to Tina who sat staring burning a hole in the side of his head. Why are you looking at me that way? If it wasn't for the Cherub in my bed I would have thought you needed to be committed telling me that you are in fact Cupid himself.
Why? What do you expect Cupid to look like? Is it like the Europeans depicted? Me this little baby flying around with a bow and arrow shooting at people making them fall in love Tina? Actually, well yeah she said giggling hearing how silly she sounded now that he put it that way.
Listen, the whole story the Europeans concocted about Cupid my parents, my lineage my brother all of it is wrong and all of it is a lie However it was strategically placed that way by my mother. And your mother is?
Isis that is my real mother however when the Europeans rather the Greek stole the story and reinterpreted it they said my mother's name was Venus or Aphrodite. There is one goddess that birthed us and her name is and was Isis. That is who gave birth to Eros and I.
The rest is a really long story Tina I will have to tell it to you over time if you don't mind I mean this is only our second day and you're digging all into my family background he said jokingly.
Oh, Tina placed her hand over her heart it's all so interesting Cupid. I bet it is but what about we talk about you now I think that what happened this evening I kind of stole all the attention off you which was never my original intent. So please take the floor and tell me something about yourself.
Well, there's not much to say you know I was raised by two really good parents I lost them both to a tragic car accident. I'm so sorry Tina. Thank you Cupid I mean actually I was raised by my aunt who passed away a few years ago she was already elderly when she took me in and she hid a sickness from me not wanting to worry me.
She made sure she lived long enough to see me graduate college start a career and land on my feet pretty good when she passed away she left me this house and everything in it. She said that she did her job which was to make sure that I was set on Solid Ground.
The thing is Cupid I was raised by an older person therefore I have old people ways and a lot of men don't like tha. They shy away from the fact that I'm knowledgeable with books or you know I don't like the normal things that other women like. Like what Tina?
Night clubbing or hanging out in loud spaces I'm not crazy about those type of things I mean I'm all game to go to Christmas party or a company party or something like that. However loud music pounding on loudspeakers it's just not my scene Cupid.
Oh so you prefer a quiet lounge over a loud club you would go to a jazz club but not a dance club am I correct? Absolutely the more sophisticated and quiet it is the better. I enjoy it I love poetry slams and jazz music as you pointed out and even life performances by certain artists I love it it just some guys that I've dealt with in the past don't.
That makes me the Black Swan I guess I was so surprised when you asked me out I mean out of all the women you could have asked I wondered to myself. Why did you choose me Cupid? I mean you are a god of love aren't you? I'm not losing my mind ate or drank something that could make me think crazy have I? You're not a snippet of beef or a piece of egg roll gone bad are you?
Someone has been reading A Christmas Carol I see he chuckled to himself. I assure you young lady I am not a bad piece of beef or a snippet of egg roll gone bad within your belly. I am Cupid the god of love and I said before you the day after Valentine's Day watching this episode of Sanford and Son for the 100th time.
Cupid looked in her eyes grinng Tina smiling back she stared within his eyes he turned his head away looking down why did you break our gaze Cupid?
I have a confession to make Tina, you cannot look me in my eyes too long you will automatically fall in love with me.
I will never know if you love me inside or did you fall in love with me because my eyes Enchanted you. It is a gift for the gods and a curse for humans automatically you will think I am the best thing that ever happened to you but deep down inside am I?
Therefore I am choosing to continue to break my gaze from you after a certain amount of time. If I continue to allow you to look behind my eyes inevitably you will fall in love with Cupid the God and not Cupid the man.
Tina picked up his hands she kissed the top of his left one placing his right hand on her cheek it's okay I'll try and not stare behind your eyes too much but it's hard because they're so beautiful giggling.
Cupid laughed I'm sure you get compliments from women all the time. I do but they are because they stared into my eyes too long not because they took the time to know me like you are doing now.
Cupid leaned in puckering his lips Tina pushed her lips out leaning her body towards him they kissed in a love locked embrace.
Tina stopped inhaling catching her breath. Using her hand she began to fan herself is it warm in here or is it just me?
No, it's just you. Cupid made her laugh.
