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

Teorus, The Greedy Prince: Story 8

"Thank you." Teorus says, finishing the rest of the stew I made. "That was amazing."

I take the dishes and take them over to the sink. "I'm glad you liked it so much."

Teorus leans back in his chair. "I don't think I'd mind staying on earth forever, if it meant I could eat food like this."

"Huh?" I clank the dishes together when I go to place them down in the sink, as I hear those words.

"I wish I could eat your food every day, Abbey!" He looks at me, flashing me the sweetest smile I've ever seen him wear.

I feel my heart racing and I nervously chuckle. "Well...maybe I'll give you some before you go back to the heavens." I half-jokingly say.

"What's wrong?" Teorus appears beside me, peering at my face.

I jump. "W-wh-what do you mean?"

"You're blushing."

"I am not! Besides you shouldn't say stuff like that so lightly."

And when did his smooth words start getting to me?! Crap this is bad....

"What? I was just saying what I was thinking." He smiles innocently.

"Well, whatever, so..." I turn around to face him but I stop mid-sentence when I see Teorus looking at me with a serious expression.

"I've never felt this way before." He says, gazing deeply into my eyes.

"T-Teorus?" I take a step back, becoming nervous.

"Why?... Why does this hurt so much?" He takes a step closer to me, his eyes full of feeling, his tone sending shivers down my back.

I remain silent as I try to make sense as to why he's suddenly acting this way, and I notice Teorus' face moving closer and closer to mine. I try to move but Teorus then grabs me in an iron grip, his eyes locking with mine.

What the hell is happening? What's wrong with him...

I manage to find my voice and raise my hands in front of me to act like a shield. "Teorus, wait." I say firmly.

As if he doesn't hear me, his face is so close, were touching nose to nose, his breath, that smells like stew, against my face, and his lips moving closer. My eyes widen and I hold my breath. However, the next thing I know Teorus' face lands right between my neck and shoulder and his body goes limp.

"T-Teorus?" I shout. I struggle to sit him up right but I see his complexion is paler than usual and his expression gives off a painful one. "H-hey, are you okay?"

"Ah...it hurts..." He croaks.

With me as his crutch, I support him and make our way over to my couch where I lay him down. "Are you okay?" I ask, worriedly. "Where does it hurt?"

He holds his stomach, as his face twists in pain.

I would assume it had been a stomach ache due to the fact with how much he ate, however he explained to me gods can eat and eat and never be full, so what could it be?

"Okay...um, everything will be fine." I look around my apartment, not sure why, but I then decide to take out my cellphone.

Who The hell do I call about this?
