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

Dui, The Split Personality: Story 3

A Few Days Later...

I've somehow managed to wedge in helping Dui, a god, with his work in my, once upon  time, mundane routine. On my days off I spend it alongside Dui, helping with his work, being to grant humans punishments when they've done wrong.

Realizing that I've been literally going from my job to his job and no time to rest, Dui let's me take it easy from time to time. Like today.

I'm resting in his room, laying on his seemingly freshly made bed.

At first working with a god was insane, but in these last few days, and I'm suddenly use to it. Seeing Dui work, makes me see what an incredible, kind god he is.

Even though I do find him naïve with how he carries out his punishments, and I find that there's more to him than meets the eye with how...affectionate he can get. I know for a fact if anyone else tried that with me they would have a black-eye, a broken nose and possibly a restraining order against me.

But with Dui, I just seem to let it happen. Perhaps, it's because I know he's harmless. He's been nothing but kind to me and has done everything he can to make me feel comfortable. And when I think about all this my heart begins to race again.

"Abbey, come here." Dui invites me to join him where he's sitting by the window, illuminated by the light of the moon."

"Hm? Uh...okay." I awkwardly oblige and join him.

When I do, he peers into my eyes, his face slowly drawing closer.

Ah crap, not again...

He does this all the time and he doesn't do anything.

Then why do I panic every time?!

For some reason, this time, I close my eyes shut as tight as I can.

Dui chuckles. "You don't have to shut your eyes so tightly."

"What?" I open one eye.

His hand come to a rest on my cheek and it sends a shiver up my back, and I shut my eye closed again.

"It's okay. Look at me." Dui whispers.

Hesitant, I slowly open my eyes to catch a gorgeous view of Dui's face.

"Um..." I squeak.

Dui chuckles again. "There's no need for you to be embarrassed."

"I-I'm not..." I mumble nervously, revealing an obvious lie through my reddened cheeks.

What the hell is even going on!? I just met this god! Yet here we are...

"Show me more of your beautiful eyes." He tells me, soothingly.

I avoid his gaze and try to laugh it off. "You mean my shit-colored eyes?"

Classy, Abbey...real classy... In my mind I picture myself face palming.

Dui's other hand pushes a few strands of hair out of my face, tucking them behind my ear. His light touch awakens the butterflies that were once resting in the pit of my stomach, before catching my gaze, his own staring more intensely into my eyes.

Now that I've locked eyes with him, I find it impossible to turn away. I examine Dui's face, every inch of him is beautiful, he can even make brown eyes look good. His lovely features, and sparkling eyes are pulling me in, then suddenly a big smile spreads across his face.

"Wow! I can see them so well. Abbey, the goddess marks in your eyes really are gorgeous."

"Eh?" I blink repeatedly.
