The Demon Of Lust

Demina's POV

I AM LOSING MY MIND!

It's the day of the party and my aunts and cousins have messed up so much. I'm losing my mind and I need to get out of the house. I drive to the Starbucks and get a strawberry açaí refresher.

I take a few sips as I sit in my car outside my house. I then take a deep breath and scream. I hate having family over sometimes. I get out and head inside. Everyone is in the living room and I punch the bridge of my nose. They're talking over each other and I can't take much more.

I exclaim,"SHUT UP!!! ALL OF YOU!!  SHUT! UP!"

They quiet and I take a deep breath as the silence is pure bliss.

I say,"That's better. Now all of you get to fixing what you fucked up. NOW."

They all disperse and I head upstairs. Mom is already ready for the party and I have to get ready. I head upstairs and shower. The hot water cascading down my body relaxes me. I wash up and get out. My body and hair are wrapped in a towel as I wipe the steam off the mirror. The stone rests against my chest and I wrap my hand around it. It's been a few days since I blew up at Agmos.

I miss him everyday. I wish he was coming tonight. I told Mom I'm not singing tonight and Ivan has a playlist ready. I look up in the mirror and see Agmos looking at me.

I whisper to myself,"I wish you were here tonight."

My hand leaves the stone as I look down.  I walk out of the bathroom and head to my room to get dressed. I get in the dress I got before leaving the mall the other day and get a pair of simple black stiletto heels on. I pin my hair into an elegant low bun and do my makeup in a simple nude eye, and a dark blue black lip.

I straighten the dress out and grab my teardrop shaped earrings and head downstairs. I take a deep breath in before I step out into the kitchen.

Agmos' POV

I burst into the study where Swindle is and tell him what happened.

Swindle says,"Well go then. But drive this time. At some point she is going to ask how you get around."

I roll my eyes but head to the garage. I grab the keys to my car and get in. It's a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T in all glossy black and it's got shadow flames going from the front of the car to the middle as if it were on fire. I am about to start it up when I realize I should probably wait til nightfall. It's in two hours.

Demina's POV

~ 2 hours later~

I have officially lost my sanity. They fixed what they fucked up mostly. But they didn't put the dance floor together right so now it's uneven. Ivan is fixing it since he needs to have his stuff on there. The buffet is in motion and my mother has made sure to save me several plates of food as I'm running around fixing things.

My mom comes to me and says,"Honey everything is perfect. Just sit down and eat now please."

I reply,"In a minute."

I'm currently helping Ivan set up and I pick up one of the wires to the speaker and it slice the meaty part of my hand. I yelp in pain as I drop the wire. Ivan quickly comes over and apologizes.

I say,"It's fine. My fault. I should have seen the wire exposed. I'll get the electrical tape from inside the house."

Ivan says,"I know where it's at. I'll get it. Go bandage your hand and eat."

I look at him unsure and he smiles and nods at me. I head into the house and do as Ivan says. I get a bandaid on it then wrap it with an ace bandage. I walk out of the bathroom as I hear the quiet rumble of an engine.
