Chapter 9
Cupid, Tina, and Pienu were ready for the park. It was winter so they were dressed like classic New Yorkers on a Saturday. Tina grabbed a baby stroller out the closet that was one of the kids she babysat. Mother asked her to donate it to a mom who appeared to need it at the library, but Tina never saw anyone.
She grabbed her phone taking a selfie with her pretend baby and husband. Pienu, she giggled you can't show your wings. He giggled like a baby hiding them under the jacket she put on him with back holes she cut out he sat in the stroller clapping as she strapped him in. You are eating this up aren't you pie? Cupid smiled at a clapping Pienu wearing designer sneakers.
I must say you look like a real baby. Pienu said something that sound like baby babble and cooing sounds. What did he say? He said he is a real baby today and we are his real parents if only for a day. Awww, Tina bent down hugging him thank you honey shall we? Cupid opened the door for Tina. They hopped in her car driving to Manhattan Pienu in a baby car seat. When they arrived they got on a heated closed in row boat ride. Cupid paid $50 for a whole hour on the water. Cupid closed and locked the door on the closure turning up the heat for Tina. Pienu sat on her lap kicking and cooing.
Cupid grabbed the ors they lit gold then he let go. The boat began to row itself making Tina giggle how? I commanded the water Tina. She looked around at the other couples when she noticed Francis in another boat.
Cupid placed his arm around her and his feet on the empty velvet padded bench across from them. It was a cloudy day so Tina turned on the fairy lights smoothing out the romantic ambiance. Cupid blew in the air rose petals began to fall ever so slow inside the private covered gandala. Tina smiled the glow of fairy lights blinking in her already bright eyes. Pienu clapped for Cupid making him smile. You always clap when you see that Pienu. He screeched. What did he say Cupid? He said it never gets old.
Francis and Derek's boat was right next to hers. She turned her back trying to hide her face Cupid leaned in kissing Tina whispering in her ears how 11th beautiful she was. He began to recite his own poetry he comprised about her eyes causing her to blush.
Tina? Tina? Tina looked at Cupid inhaling agitated he slid their row boat door open hey Francis. Francis stared at Cupid seeing by his attire he had money. What a cute baby who's baby? Mine Tina blurted out Causing Pienu to cuddle laying his head on her chest.
He he he I know that is not your baby girl. It is my son Cupid saved her from drowning what she meant to say was it is our son as we are to be married soon. Tina was shocked beyond words his embellishment causing her to feel warm. Married?! Girl you didn't say! Francis I think they want to be alone honey. You are right baby we will talk later Tina. Okay Francis nice seeing you again Derek. He waved wryly.
He is going to leave her. Umm humm Pienu agreed eating nilla wafers. How can you tell? Tina whispered praying his words didn't carry over open waters. I am the God of love it is my job to seal love arrangements. Wait I thought you shoot someone with an arrow and the first person they see they fall.in love with. Pienu chuckled so hard he choked on cookie crumbs. See Pienu? Tina held him gently patting his back giving him water from his sippie cup. Wait a second...Tina pulled off the lid Pienu! What? Cupid asked.
Tina passed him the baby cup smelling it he stared at Pinu saying nothing. You have to embarrass me? Next time I will bring Cloud and see if you like it then. Pienu hopped off Tina's lap stamping his little feet rocking the row boat. He tossed his middle finger up at Cupid hissing at him his cute baby teeth now sharp teeth his eyes turning red as his anger grew. Pienu spit at Cupid, who slapped him.
No Cupid! Tina yelled. Pienu fell to his knees, crying at Cupids feet knowing he was doing to much spitting at a God. Tina was silent she picked pienu up placing a pillow from the boat seats on the floor laying him on top of it.
No bae leave him there. Red rings appeared in Cupids eyes as he stared Pienu into submission. He fell asleep at Cupid's feet. Cupid tossed the beer out the baby cup into the lake.
I am sorry he whispered I should have known he was being to cooperative. Cupid please don't slap him that way again he is a baby. Tina, sweetheart Pienu and I are the same age. How old is that? Cupid opened his arms as Tina snuggled in them getting warm. I am very old love.
Humor me? Honestly, I have no real number I know when I was three news spread of a Nazarene being crucified all the Gods of Egypt and Olympia cried. That day, mother explained that we have our own god Tina. Osiris? That is one name but he is also called the great I am, jehovah, The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob well that day his son a God before he formed us to help with his tasks was killed.
We were forbidden to walk with men 10 years after for fear one of us would be next. Tina was shocked you were three when Jesus was crucified? Yes, bae. You are old she teased. Pienu is just as old he knows better then to spit at a God. Well, if he is as old as you why can't he have a beer Cupid?
Cupid opened his phone showing her photos. Oh wow who did all that damage? Cupid looked down at Pienu him and the other five after a night of drinking. This is my mountain cabin home. I fell asleep and woke to this.
My Cupid, they tore off the roof. That is the day I forbade them to drink this was 1950 Tina. 1950?! Give them another chance he was sipping amd being good. Cupid inhaled thinking I have an Idea.
Sure. How about I leave him with you? Me? I have to work Cupid. When you are off only. My own baby? Cupid chuckled sure he said knowing Pienu was a mess. If he is so bad why do you keep them around? They have been with me since I was a baby protected me and loved me I can't bare to lose them they are--
Like the children you never had? Cupid grinned knowing she had him corners yes and like my baby brothers and sisters. Wait there are girls? Yes two and they hate you they are extremely jealous of other women being around me. I can't blame them locking her fingers with his in a hand held embrace.
Again Tina stared in his eyes Cupid looked into the water breaking their love locked gaze. Tina turned his head back gently holding his cheek in the palm of her hand if I fall I fall she whispered as the glow of fairy lights intensified her subtle beauty.
Cupid wrapped his arms around her thick waist pulling her into him as they floated on calm waters of love.
