Heaven In Devil's Arms

▪ XI: Truly, Madly, Deeply

"Hey angel."

I raised my brows at him, I am busy removing some dust in the house while he sweeps the floor. It's very unusual of him to help me with household chores.

He usually lays in bedroom or if he has devil duties, I'm all left alone in the house.  Mabuti na lang at iginala niya ako kahit papaano nung isang araw.

"You look like you're judging me or somewhat doubting me." He pouted and he is so adorable.

"Still wondering why a devil helps doing household chores." I said and continue what I am doing. "Why did you call me?" I asked.

"I can just make the whole house clean with one snap. We don't have to tire ourselves doing these things." He blurted out and I just rolled my eyes.

"That's so lazy of you."

He smirked and I think I know what's his going to say. "You're asking the devil to be hardworking!" He laughed and I was just right. I just glared at him and continued my business.

"Just stay in the room like what you usually does." I rolled my eyes. He didn't reply, maybe he teleported or pass through walls to get in the bedroom. What am I going to expect from a devil, they are naturally lazy. Sloths. Plus, I didn't force him to help me, I always told him that being the housekeeper is my way to return the favor for him.

But I think I was wrong. I felt his arms wrapped in my waist as he leaned his head on my shoulder. His hugging me again and I can't deny but I love the way it makes me feel like I am the most blessed angel in the whole wide heaven.

"Can we just cuddle all day?" He asked and that got me stiffed. Why is he asking me to cuddle?! All day! "Ako ang maglilinis ng buong bahay, I won't use any form of my power. Promise!" He said.

Oh, the devil loves to cuddle.

"You're asking me to cuddle with you, stop cleaning and in return you will do the rest?" I asked, I felt that he nodded. "I don't think that's righteous." I said.

Para na din akong naging tamad kung tatanggapin ko ang kondisyon niya.

"I don't think that's wrong too." He rebutted. Hindi ba siya mauubusan nang isasagot sa akin? He's right, there's nothing wrong on cuddling but at some point, it is, when tainted.

I love the way we embrace each other and feel each other's heartbeat. Being in an angel or devil form is also being not able to hear those beats. I felt privileged to hear devil's. His embraces makes me feel safe like nothing bad's going to happen. I feel like forgetting all my worries and pain. I don't know if it is some of his tactics to deceive me but I can't help fall for it, even if it is a trap or not. His hugs still feels like heaven, for me, that's the only thing makes sense. Totally making it a heaven in his devilishly sexy toned arms.

"Yes.." I said. "Unless we're lovers, but we're not." I added.

Cuddle is for lovers. We don't do that in heaven so I supposed in hell too. I was a busy angel doing those spiritual garlands for people's prayers in heaven, now I'm in human realm with a human body and feelings, I am busy with knowing who's my mission and how should I have it done. Also to give return to devil's kindness by cleaning his house and preparing the food.

He turned my body to face him, his arms still wrapped on my waist. I met his dark coal eyes with a burning passion and desire inside. He moved closer as I felt his lips touched my forehead. What is it that for he's thankful?!

I think he's taking advantage!

"Pervert!" I hissed and he laughed. "What was that for?!" I added.

"I'm grateful." He said. "I'm at my utmost gratefulness." He added followed up by a playful grin.

"Devil!" I shouted in surprise when he carried me like a sack of rice. I keep on slapping his back as I am complaining to him to put me down.

"Nah-uh bad angel, complaining." He laughed.

"Don't call me bad!" Now his making me feel guilty for complaining because of a thing really worth being complained!

"Then be a good angel." I know he smirked! I'm sure of that! Ugh, this devil is really on the different level of hell! He's really good at pissing off the whole out of me!

"I'm naturally good!"

"I'm naturally bad."

"What's your point?!" I hissed while he is laughing like a retarded devil who is rejected by hell because he is devilishly crazy to even continue doing bad deeds properly!

"I'm not going to listen on complains or even follow orders." He laughed even harder when he heard me groaned in annoyance.

"I'm pissed!"

"Oh-no! Angel is pissed and complaining-----"

"Okay! I'll shut up!" Suko kong sabi. How could I ever win with this devil?! His moods are really unpredictable! The day before yesterday he acts like a protective elder brother and I swear I don't like the idea being his younger sister. Earlier that day he said he is willing to do the mission for me so I won't have my hands stained by killing a certain devil. Yesterday he is concern about me having human female teenagers nightmare, so called menstruation, and he really helped me through it!

Now, he is acting like the total devil he really is! Ugh!

He can't pass through the door with me so he opened it using his free hand which is the right. He carried me in his left shoulder supported by his left arm, that's how strong he is!

Dahan-dahan niya akong inihiga sa kama at humiga siya sa tabi ko. Pareho kaming hinihingal dahil nagpupumiglas talaga ako habang siya naman ay napagod sa pagbuhat sa akin dahil nga ang likot ko. Now I'm tired and I couldn't even complain.

He rest his head in my shoulder almost near in my chest. He breathed heavily so do I. Keeping him in this distance makes my heart beat terribly fast. I lost count to its every ups and downs. I close my eyes calming my nerves as I am feeling his warm breath in my naked colar bone.

"I should have been the one tempting you angel." He whispered beneath my skin. "Look at me now, I'm totally tempted to you and locked in a situation where I should restrain myself from making you sin so I can return you to heaven unscathed by Earthy sins." He added.

I opened my eyes looking directly at him. His eyes were close and now his breathing is not that heavy anymore. I felt his warm breathes in my skin.

I gently smiled then suddenly saddened.

I don't think he's the only one tempted.

I know I am too.

Being in his arms. Feeling the heaven in devil's arms, isn't it enough to get drown into temptation? Since day one, I was tempted by his gracious appearance. Followed by his gentle gestures, I don't even know why I'm liking the way he changes his moods so fast. Every perfection and imperfection of him, I don't even know if it is just a test.

But I can't deny it.

That I can't help falling truly, madly and deeply inlove with him.

He's not the only one tempted, I am too.

So I should also restrain myself too not from doing Earthy sins, but from falling inlove with him though I couldn't help it.

Ugh devil, he's really a devil.
