Confessions of a Cynic

S E V E N

The next morning, Eros woke up-not with his alarm but a loud horn sound. He jolted, looking around and saw Psyche already dressed up in her usual brown and colorful color schemes. She was holding up an air horn.

"Wake up, nymphos!" Psyche shouted, grinning. Eros immediately covered his body with the sheets. The woman beside him, started to cover herself too. "Oh dear, fancy seeing you with some company."

"Who is she?" the woman asked.

"I'm his one and only fiance'." Psyche grinned, an eye brow raised, looking at this blonde woman through her round sunglasses.

"You've got to be kidding me." the woman scoffed.

"Don't believe me?" Psyche showed her the golden ring, Eros just gave her to make things look even convincing.

"Oh my god!" the blond immediately grabbed her clothes along with the sheets and slammed the door behind her. Eros was left with his pillows, covering his buff body.

"You just cheated on me." Psyche said, removing the sunglasses.

"No, I didn't. Why did you just barged in? Noel should have called me."

"I told him not to call you. I said, 'I want to surprise my fiance'!' He smiled at me and immediately gave me a pass to your humble kingdom."

Eros groaned and sighed. "What are you doing here?"

Psyche and angled her head, walking slowly towards Eros. He moved back, gripping the pillow closer to his body. "Don't come any closer." The warning didn't stop Psyche from going closer to him. When she was in front of him, she sat down and rubbed his cheeks with the back of her petite hands. "Eros. Eros.Eros." She shook her head first before she continued, "Has the blond woman stole your memory now? We have to get to the airport for our pre-honeymoon, dear." She said, gently.

Eros gently shove her arm away from his face. "We are going there in a private jet. And please, please, please, Psyche-baby, can you at least look a bit presentable for Greece?" He said, mimicking Psyche's gentleness.

"I am presentable."

"I mean get rid of that hair and those clothes."

"I can't shave it all of."

"You know what I mean. I can't do my revenge if you don't look convincing."

"Not my problem." Psyche looked away, murmuring. When she heard not a sound from Eros, she looked back only to see him looking away, his gorgeous face looking troubled and worried. "Fine. Fine. I'll behave there and be the perfect fiancee' for you so you could do your stupid revenge game with your ex."

Eros grinned, almost looking at the child. "Thanks, Psyche."

Psyche looked away, clearing her throat."Whatever. I'll be back in 2 hours. Maybe 3 for being hesitant".

"Where in the world is she?!" Eros impatiently looked around with his aviator, glancing angrily at his Rolex watched. Psyche has been gone for almost 5 hours. Didn't she say she'll need 3 hours? But remembering that this is Psyche he is talking about, he gave an exhale and tried to cool his head off.

But then alas, a blue and green ombre'-haired lady in a bun hair style was walking towards him in a white tunic shirt, a tattered denim shorts and leather brown boots. Her eyes were covered in a reflective round shades, carrying with her a lime green luggage roller bag. She could have been attractive if not for that blue and green ombre' hair.

What the- Eros thought as she watch her approaching him.

"Tada." Psyche grinned, amused at Eros being speechless.
