365 Days With You

Chapter IX - Quick Proposal

.Cleo.

'Cleo, I brought you here because I want you to be my wife.' Lucas said.

Cleo couldn't believe what she heard. Her? A commoner would be getting married? To a prince? A demon prince? Her life was truly getting weirder each day.

She flailed her arms and slapped herself real hard because she thought it would wake her up from this nightmare.

Cleo, calm down. You are getting married to a demon prince. That's fine. He's got the looks too, she told herself. But I'm pretty sure I want to go home too so what the heck do I do? She argued with herself.

She tried to compose herself and placed a plastic smile on her face. The boys were already so confused looking at Cleo that way. She had to act fakely so the boys wouldn't worry.

'Uh, marriage. Yeah. Uh.' Cleo stuttered.

'Hey, Cleo. Take it easy. What's wrong?' Lucas asked calmly.

'It's just that, I don't know. I guess I'm not ready for anything yet. I just broke up with my boyfriend so I can't just go marrying a guy I literally just met. Plus, if I marry you, would that mean that I'd be here forever and I can't visit my family?' Cleo finally got the right words out of her mouth.

'I...I'm sorry. I didn't know about your boyfriend. Condolence for your failed relationship.' Lucas said sadly.

Cleo tried to hold back her laugh. The fact that Lucas treated their failed relationship as a dead person was beyond hilarious.

She tried. But failed.

'HAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA' she burst out laughing. Her laugh might've reached the lowest point of Hell.

The boys continued to give her a confused look which could be translated to, 'what's the deal with girls? they give trigonometry a run for its money with how much they confuse others.'

'Oh come on. My ex ain't dead and our relationship was toxic so it's fine. Really.' she said with a straight face.

'Alright, Cleo. I'll give you a year. If you decide that I'm a good devil worth marrying then please take up my offer of marriage. If not, then you are free to go back to your family. Don't worry, a year here is only an hour there.' Lucas explained.

Cleo sighed. She was in for a long adventure.
