The Grim Reaper's Possession

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

Maeve's POV

“I need you to let go of your feelings and we'll stay as friends or you may get out of my life.”

“You heard me.”

Those were the last words I've said to him before he disappeared to my life.
It's been a month and he just..disappeared.

I felt sad and the house felt empty since he left, nasanay ako ng nandyan sya.

But did I regret what I said?
Absolutely not.

If he left then that only means that I broke his heart, that is if he even has a heart to begin with.
I feel bad yes, pero kailangan yun. I know my place as a mortal and although I like extraterrestrial things that does not mean I would consider dating him.

After all, I think my heart was slowly getting abducted by someone.
Ever since Grim left, it felt like everything came back to normal, na parang di ako sanay na wala sya, but I realized that this was my life before him (except sa mga reapers na nakikita ko.) So, I just have to live life like I used to.

This past month continuous pa rin naman ang ligawan namin ni Zephyr, he would take me out on dates and be the adorable sweetheart that he is and I feel myself started to slowly fall in love with him.
I wouldn't say na mahal ko na sya, because I think that's too fast but kada araw na lumilipas it felt like it's getting closer and closer to that.

As of now naghahanda ako for our dinner date again. Yes, I know lagi na lang date but this is our way to bond with each other. We prefer to chat personally and just use our phones kung may kailangan lang sabihin or para paghandaan ang mga lakad namin. Well, oo, madalas din kaming mag-VC but mas gusto namin na nandyan talaga yung presence, if that makes any sense.

I grabbed my ruby red liquid lip stick and smeared it evenly on my lips, carefully shaping my upper lips and defining my round cupid's bow.

I smiled at myself through the mirror, then stood up.
Kinuha ko yung itim na slingbag ko and nilagay yung phone ko dun, my wallet, keys and my other makeup that I think were necesarry.

Kinuha ko din yung pulang blazer na naka-sabit sa bed post and put it on, covering my exposed shoulders, since I'm just wearing a spaghetti strapped top and black skinny jeans with two inched boots.

Bumaba nako sa hagdan and smiled at Zephyr na nakaupo sa sofa as he smiled back.

“You look gorgeous, like always.” he said, his long hair was tied to a ponytail.

“Thank you, and you look handsome.” I said and he said a small thank you.

He lend his hand in front of me and I took it, as he guided me outside the door.

“Morticia, Ryder, guard the house for me, okay?” I said sweetly sa mga alaga ko before closing and locking the door.

I hopped inside Zephyr's car and he started to drive.
As he was driving I saw a familiar red car behind us.

I tried to remember kung kanino ba kotse yun, but then dismissed it since magkaka-mukha naman ang mga kotse, but I grew suspicious when I noticed na parang sinusundan kami.

“Zephyr pwedeng mag-iba tayo ng way?” I said to Zephyr and he glance at me for a second.

“Bakit?”

“Basta,” I said.

He didn't question me any further at nag-iba sya ng daan, and my suspicion was correct. Sinusundan nga kami ng kotseng yun, but why?

But then I caught a glimpse the familiar face of the girl driving.

“Felicity.” I growled under my breath.

“Ha?” nagtatakang sabi ni Zephyr.

“Felicity, she's following us.” I said.

“Your coworker? Following us? Bakit?” He asked without looking at me.

“I don't know..” I said and an idea suddenly popped up inside my head.
“Zephyr, do you mind a long car ride?” I asked.
“About an hour or two lang.”

“Why?” tanong ulit nya.

“I'm just going to teach her a lesson.”

“How?”

“Take us to a place na alam mo, yung malayo dito.”

He seems to realize what I was thinking and nodded.

He started to drive faster and Felicity's car followed.
It was a harmless prank anyway.
Ililigaw ko lang sya to the point that she won't make the same mistake of following me again.

After an hour and a half, bigla kong pinaliko si Zephyr and we went inside of those split roads where he hid his car behind a truck na naka-park.

“Could you wait for me?” I said to Zephyr.
“Titingnan ko lang reaction nya, and after she left we could proceed sa date natin.. ”

“Sure,” he said simply and I immediately felt bad.

“Um, hindi ka galit? I wasted a lot of time because of my childishness.” I said and he smiled.

“If I were being honest, I would say that you should have confronted her instead of this, but I know how much she irritates you so I'll support you in this one.”

I smiled and kissed his cheek, which made him blush.
“Thank you, last lang to..”

I exited the car and went behind a tree, seeing Felicity just in time na ini-stop ang kotse nya near the pavement.
She exited her car, wearing nothing but a black tube and mini-skirt, looking confused.

I couldn't contain my giggling when I saw her rub her shoulder and arms as she shiver.
Yan, g-ga. Patube-tube ka pang nalalaman na walang pantakip, nilalamig ka ngayon no?

She look around and she caught me staring at her while laughing.
Oops.

“You little b-tch.” I saw her mouthed angrily.

I stepped out of my hiding spot and raised a challenging brow. Nakatingin lang ako sakanya as she marched towards me with her black stilletos. Matapilok ka sana.

She was taking so slow so I made the decision to meet her halfway, crossing my arms and tilting my head with a smirk on my lips.

She managed to cross and both of us are next to the road, on the pavement.

But before she could mutter a word, bigla na lang may liwanag sa tabi namin, followed by screaming and the loud honk of a car.

And then nothing.
