Falling In Love With Death

18: Im Not Normal

Amaryllis Roman

"You don't wanna know." I said as I turned around to look at Death.

"Try me." He said sitting on my bed.

"My moms...being....difficult."

"Because?" He asked.

"Because..." I didn't want to tell him the truth about Alex because I knew he would overreact.

"I want a motorcycle. And my mom has a problem with that." I finally said.

Well that's wasn't exactly a lie.

"I see... If it helps I once knew a biker girl in the 60's, she became the leader of one of the most vicious biker gangs in American history." I cringed.

"That's...not really what I was going for, but thanks." I pushed my hair back as I walked to my bed and sat down beside him.

"Look we should probably talk about...the kiss. I know that it was probably a mistake and you don't have any interest in me, I mean I'm 17, I don't really have much to offer but I just wan-" Death reached over and covered my mouth with his hand.

"You really are quite stupid." I scowled and licked his hand.

"That is not going to make me let go." He sighed.

"Do I really have to tell you what you should already know? Your beautiful Amaryllis. I don't know what else I can say to convince you. And as for the kiss....your right it was a mistake." I sucked in a breath, here was the rejection.

"It was a mistake to kiss you and then leave. I should have kissed you sensessly and made myself clear about how I felt. But Amaryllis I can't frate-,"

"I know fraternize with humans, I know." I said rolling my eyes.

"Exactly. But what you don't know is the repercussions you would face. Chaos already put your life at risk by exposing you to this world and I'm not going to put you in any further danger." I pushed his hand away irritated. What was it with everyone trying to protect me.

"I'm a big girl Death I can take care of myself." Death groaned.

"I know you can, but this is a different world of danger." I huffed.

"Fine. Then I can date other guys right? Since you can't be with me I can see other people?" I asked. Death looked up at me with furious eyes.

"You can't see anyone....it's not fair to drag them into your life right now everything's...messy." He said slowly.

"So after this is all over, then I can date?" I said trying to get a reaction out of him.
He clenched his jaw and balled his hands into fists.

"You can do whatever you want." He finally said.

I let out a scream of frustration.

"Why can't you just tell me what you want like a normal person, if you don't want me that's fine." I bellowed.

"Because I'm not normal, nothing about me will ever be normal. I'm Death Amaryllis, I can't just date a human. No matter how much I really want to...There's too much at stake you wouldn't understand." I scoffed.

"Try me." I said throwing his words back at him.

"You know what? Fine you want to date other people? Go ahead. Don't mind me." He said bitterly.

"GOD DEATH, can't you see I want you t-." I stopped myself and rubbed my temples.

I took deep breaths to calm myself before deciding to change the subject. I mean we were both heated so maybe this was the time to bring up the little girl he knew, he could accidentally slip something out, I know I did that when I was angry.
