Star-Crossed Myth: The Divine Fate (Book One)

Teorus, The Greedy Prince: Story 2

I feel a gentle poke to my cheek.

I open my sleepy eyes, I stare at my nightstand table with my phone, and a glass of water. I shrug and pull the covers up to my chin and try to go back to sleep.

Another soft poke to my face. "Hey, you awake?" With a voice following.

This time, my eyes open wide, and I sit up, swinging a punch into the direction of the voice and feeling my fist come into contact with something solid.

There's a loud thud and a yelp.

I jump out of bed to see an upset Teorus, cupping the side of his face.

"Teorus?! What the hell!" I yell.

"Why did you do that?" He pouts.

"Why?! Are you kidding me? Why are you in my apartment? How did you get in here?"

He stands up. "You left the window unlocked. You should be more careful."

"This is the sixth floor!" I exclaim.

Teorus throws on a dazzling smile. "Yeah, I flew here."

I face palm, feeling already exhausted by this whole ordeal. Who did he think was going to break in?! BIRDS?!

I see Teorus just standing there looking at me and it takes me a moment until I look down at myself, only wearing a baggy t-shirt, just barely covering my underwear.

I take a pillow from off my bed and chuck it at him. "Stop staring!"

Teorus dodges and looks around. "So this is your apartment, huh?"

"Y-yeah..." I mumble as I find a pair of jeans to throw on.

"It's so cute. Nice and so compact."

I roll my eyes. "Uh huh...Teorus, why are you here?"

"Well you said yesterday that we would be able to spend more time together today." He smiles.

"Urgh..." I recall saying that but it was only to get me the hell out of there. I didn't think he would take note of it. "That's right..."

"So, I'm here to ask you out on a date."

I stand there bewildered for a moment before taking my hand and cupping it behind my ear. "I'm sorry, I still must be half-asleep. What did you say?"

Teorus chuckles. "I want to see earth. Will you show me around?"

"Oh...okay." I breathe with relief, but feel my cheeks become really warm. "Do we have to go right now? I mean, I have some important stuff to do today..."

And what I mean by 'important stuff' I mean lazing around my apartment, writing songs and doing laundry.

"What? You're turning me down?" Teorus says, shocked.

"Well yeah, but no...I mean just not right now."

"Please..." He gives me the puppy-dog look again.

Right from the start this guy doesn't take 'no' for an answer and always gets his way.

"Okay...fine." I cave.

"Yeah! So come on! Hurry!" Teorus pesters as he grabs me by the hand and starts pulling me away, just like he did yesterday.

"Whoa! Just give me a second to get ready, okay?" I say, heading towards my bathroom.
