Once they got to Irene's apartment, Aistel immediately ordered a few pizzas. She sat on the couch and began to daydream about devouring three of the four pizzas she had ordered all to herself. She was so deep in thought; she didn't even notice Tons sit next to her. He was literally the only gyfted human she allowed close to her. She found him, nice to look at and be around.
She didn't find Tons bad looking either. Aistel thought of him as one of the most attractive men she has met. She would never tell him. He was Irene's oldest cousin on her mother's side. His mother was Korean-American, while his father was Black American. Due to his mixed heritage, He had golden brown skin with almond-shaped bright green eyes. His hair was black with huge curls that sat neatly upon his head. He was also tall, standing at 6'4 and weighing about 275 but full of muscles. For a tech guy he was ridiculously fit but his gyft kept him fit.
Tons leaned into Aistel and threw an arm around her. "Can't wait for those pizzas, Angel?" He whispered playfully into Aistel's ear.
She gently pushed his face away and leaned into him. "I would not be me, if food of any kind, especially pizza, didn't excite me. You would get so worried if I ever stopped caring about food." She said with a sly grin.
Tons then said with a chuckle "Yes you are right about that. If my angel ever stopped worrying about food, I'd have to get to the bottom of it."
Irene rolled her eyes and groaned "Stop calling her Angel and stop referring to her as your angel. It's weird and you know it annoys me." Irene said.
"Martin calls you his Asian Queen... THAT is weird." Tons said with a disgusted face.
"You never like my boyfriends." Irene said with a pout.
"I wish you would date decent men. Martin can be a pig and I say that about my good friend with love." Tons said while getting up. He pulled Aistel up to him and embraced her. He always felt like she relaxed when hugged by him.
Aistel did relax in his embrace. Not that she understood why or liked the fact she would relax in his embrace. She pushed him away and flopped back down into the couch and glanced back over to Irene "He is totally a pig." She said making her nose look like a pig's nose.
Irene was going to protest when her intercom buzzed. Aistel perked up only to sink back down when Tons indicated that it had only been about 15 minutes since she ordered. He then turned to Irene, rolled his eyes and went to the bathroom.
Irene was filled with excitement. "Babe?" She shouted into the intercom with excitement.
"I guess you're happy I'm here, huh, babe? Buzz me in!" Martin said.
"No, don't let it in! It will bring infection and pain!" Aistel said out loud while Irene was still holding down the talk button.
"Damn It Aisti!" She said letting the talk button go and then buzzing Martin in. Irene never had great taste in men. She knew this. She just hated when Aistel would rub it in her face. Last 3 boyfriends lasted less than a month each. She was hopefully that because she had known Martin for some time, it would help strengthen their relationship.
Aistel looked towards the door and groaned out loud. While she didn't dislike him anymore than she disliked most gyfted, she especially didn't like Martin. She thought it was low for him to go behind Tons' back and ask Irene out. Adding to the fact she also finds him bland to look at, she would rather not be around him. "Why is he here again?"
"He's my boyfriend, and I invited him to MY place so WE could all get ready... TOGETHER." Irene said, sounding rather annoyed with Aistel.
Aistel scoffed and sat down next to Tons, who had just come out of the bathroom, on the couch again. Tons smiled and lightly rubbed her head. He knew why Aistel disliked gyfted. He understood it and respected it. For whatever the reason was, he was never affected by Aistel's power so that is why he can enjoy all the moments she allowed him to be near or touch her.
