Falling In Love With Death

32: Do I Look Like Ramen To You?

Dedicated to S&Sh, p.s I had a lot of fun writing this chapter.

Amaryllis Roman

"That's disgusting." Taenia said pointing to Ravi as he dipped his fries into his cupcake, scooping off the icing.

Ravi scoffed.

"No it's divine." He said dramatically.

"No that's pretty disgusting." Ailee said just as Joon attempted to steal her drink. Ailee swatted his hand away and glared.

"Leave the poor guy alone, it's icing and fries, haven't you ever heard of the term sweet and salty." Joon said still eyeing her drink.

"Sweet and salty yes, not cold and disgusting, no." Nike said her eyes twinkling with laughter. I looked over to her and smiled. Nike was fairing much better in the group than the previous week. She actually made an effort to talk and socialize and she even clicked with a few of the girls.

I was so relieved when she could finally relax with everyone, they all really liked her and she was fitting in perfectly. I could tell she was happy. I inwardly sighed.

If only she could use her new found confidence to stand up to her mother, and tell her father the whole truth.

I gritted my teeth at the thought of Denise hurting Nike again. I was going to make it my mission to drag Nike home and have a talk with her dad before I left for Hawaii and her for Portugal.

Her trip to Portugal was the perfect scapegoat for me, I told her I was going to Hawaii for Kcon (korean convention) and my mom wouldn't let me go alone. Her knowing my undying love for Kpop agreed to tell my mom I was accompanying her. I snorted.

If only she knew the real reason why I was going there.

Finding Kokai was going to be hard enough, but getting along with Havoc? Now that was just impossible.

I frowned pushing my tray of discarded food across the table.

I hadn't spoken to Death since my attack. But I knew he was probably pissed as hell right now, but I also knew he was worried.

When I woke up in the hospital this morning, I found a bouquet of lilies with a single amaryllis flower in the middle.

I knew it was him.

If it wasn't for the fact that I was hopelessly in love with him, I'd kill him on the spot.

But then again I was the one who asked him to stay away, I knew he would do anything in his power to prevent me from going to Hawaii, and he wouldn't stop until I agreed. But I wasn't going to budge.

I was going to help Kokai and stop Mali. I didn't care that she was an archangel or that she was trying to kill me. I was done watching from the sidelines not being able to help anyone.

I was going to take charge. And if Death wasn't willing to train me, then I might just take Mali up on her offer. But everything comes with a price.

Everything.

"I agree with Nike, you just have wierd taste Ravi." Marika said.
