Cupid And Pyscho

Chapter~Eight

Aethan Machiavello takes a sip from of the cigarette, inhales the smoke and and release it all in a single breath, he use to smoke when something bothers him. Its already eight p.m. and his body and mind was stuck on his favorite spot, in the rooftop. He inhales and he was lost on the happiness that he had felt, its maybe because Aiden was waiting on her unit preparing to dinner. Its been two days since all her things was moved to his condo, it was not that much but it fills the vacant spaces of the area. It was a huge condo unit consisting of two room, one is thw master bedroom where he stays and the other room where Aiden sleeps.

They did not talk that much, its been last two days since they have a proper conversation. Aiden was probably shy and afraid that she might get ignored even knowing that he calls her 'darling' and wife. And he told her also to stop working on the bar, but she insisted, and she was planning to move her things back after two weeks she already told Aethan but he acts like he heard nothing. its just that she was repaying Aethan for saving her life by doing the chores. Well Aethan was the guy like 'do what you want as long as you stay and Aiden was ok with it as long as she distance herself from him.

Aethan takes a sip of his cigarette, inhales the smokes that filled his lungs, as he stares the stars whom are shyly hiding amongst the clouds. He took a deep inhale as his eyes has spotted the moon , it was full moon. The wind blew coldly and he was happy for a bit, he was happy that he already meet someone, someone that suits him, someone who will bring back the emotions, the feelings that he thought he had lost the moment he had face death.

It was after his accident that he starts hearing voice in his head, and as he conquer its ability he had lost something. It was after a year that he had felt changes in his body, he was outside with playing with a kite when a stray dog suddenly appeared he was bitten and he see the blood that shoots from his wound but he feels nothing he did even cry for he felt no pain. He was immediately send to the hospital, got the needles injected and his wounds stitches but he felt nothing.

He tried to talk this to the doctor and his mom and he had the same answer 'you're a one brave tough boy, have some rest'.

After the incident he felt no pain, even he stumbled and wound himself it was fun at first but as he grows up he felt sorry for himself. He was unaware that he has hurt himself he felt no pain...

And he thought it was the last weird thing that may happen to him, but as he grows old he felt more numb. His emotions and feelings are fading slowly, he live up his birthdays, graduations, death of his close relatives meaningless, he's alive but he is dying slowly and its his emotions and feelings are fading inch by inch as days passes by. He wanted to stop it, but he didn't know, and its hard for him pretending everyday to worry about his love ones. He forgets to cry, to smile and laugh and it makes him think that he was cursed. It was true that great gift comes great cost...

He knew soon he would be the same as the empty can, no feelings he would be like a robot programmed to do task without satisfaction. So he seeks everyday, he walks place to place he start believing that someone with the same curse he has might showed up and tells him how to fix it. That someone would show up miraculously and teach him, no, make him remember how it felt like to feel, to have emotions.

He knew that his spare emotions are like dying embers, and before he lost it he wanna find someone, that could help him... He would give his arms just to remember how it aches... And the time has changed.

Aethan throws the filter of the cigarette down, he watches it as its ashes crumbles down and tumbles in the mid air. He watch back at the moon, glaring its glowing edges... He felt nothing but he felt sorry, he knew it is painful to be alone... Like the moon that shines in the lonely nights...like a moon without showing its other half side...

He took a sip from his coffee, glaring at the city lights, that dance in a slow.beat of an eighties songs...

"Aethan, umm hello... Dinners ready". His consciousness returns when he was called by Aiden, he took a deep breath from the cold breeze of the wind and looks at the direction of the where the voice comes from... He's eyes grew bigger as he stares at Aiden wearing her uniform from work...

She was wearing a sexy version of maid uniform, her black flowery stockings and her high heels sandals was giving an impression of 'touch me, if you can'. Her hair was freely flying in the cold breeze of air. The moon gives a spotlight on her beautiful face, she gives him, her innocent smiles.

Aethan nods and before he knew Aiden storm back and heads to the elevator. He smiled for a moment...as he spoke his thought in the thin air.

"The moment I saw you, it was my first time for ten years to smile that much, And I wanna smile more". He keeps grinning as he walks he way to his unit. With a thought in his head...

Aiden please be mine.
