Hunter's voice sounded pretty harsh when he spoke, and it was very evident that her defiance offended him. "Anything and everything that concerns you is my business, and he's lucky that you didn't make him co. Or I would have chopped his dick off by this ti. And, Goddess, get this engraved in your little brain. I'm the only man you're ever allowed to make co, and you'll co, only for ," he solemnly declared.
Hera frowned in confusion.
'What nonsense is he talking about?'
"What? Co where?" She asked. Her words painted with utter confusion. Hunter let out a soft chuckle at her clueless tone. Her innocence always made it even harder for him to resist her. He knew she had no idea he was talking dirty. "I don't know, Love.. Anywhere you want. Maybe all over ? Because I surely will co all over you," he said. His voice suddenly made a hundred and eighty-degree turn, from furious barking to sweet velvet music.
Hera only scowled at his bipolar disorder.
Unaware of the hidden aning in his words, ignorant Hera scoffed. "Huh, what's new in that? You're coming all over since forever. Did you forget how you turned my life into hell? You're my personal Satan, after all," she said, adding extra bitterness to her tone. "I'm just waiting for the day when you'll get out of SPALEV High. That day I'll get rid of you permanently," Hera said, expecting her bitter words to hurt him.
Contrary to her expectation, Hunter chuckled softly, not at all affected by her bitter tone. "Keep dreaming, Goddess, because that day will never co. Trust when I say, you'll end up marrying no matter what and my heart is your final destination. Like it or not, that's where you'll reside for the rest of your life," he said, voice dripping with amusent.
He sounded so confident, Hera wished she could spit on his smug face.
'Did he think I'm still that five-year-old naive innocent girl he can manipulate with his charm?'
She wanted to voice out her thoughts, but instead, she asked, "What do you want, Lucifer? Why did you call?"
"Did you receive my gift?" Hunter asked.
Of course, she did. A short, low "hmm" was her only reply. Hera couldn't help but blush as she rembered his ssage. Suddenly her face turned into crimson red, and she silently thanked God that it wasn't a video call and he couldn't see her blushing.
"So, did you find the Sweet ssenger already?" He asked in a gentle tone. anwhile, Hera's heart skipped a beat before shooting up, skyrocketing in full speed. She could almost see his arrogant smirk.
'Asshole, he knows I'd read his ssage!'
Hera didn't know how to answer his question. Panicking, she put him on hold and threw the phone on the bed. She was furious at herself for blushing at the ntion of his ssages. She couldn't deny that her heart was a crazy ss and her brain a nervous wreck. She needed sothing to distract her racing heart, and Hera sat on the floor, ignoring the fact that Hunter was still on the phone.
The sweet box caught her attention, and she thought anything that could divert her thoughts from him would be a welco distraction. She got lost in her thoughts reminiscing about those yummy chocolate desserts she enjoyed devouring last night.
'How heavenly they tasted!'
That Easter Egg sweet she chose was red, juicy strawberries filled with lted chocolate inside. Finally, she had found the Sweet ssenger and read the ssage after eating the chocolaty strawberries.
"Goddess Hera,
You're the Strawberry, and I am the cream. Let lie in your bosom so I can lt around you.
And now that you've eaten my Strawberry it's only fair you let eat yours. I'm dying to bite that little Strawberry.
P.S There are three Sweet ssengers in total."
Once she read the ssage, Hera sighed in mock exhaustion as if it was a punishnt that she had to eat those sugary treats, where in reality she was floating on cloud nine.
"Oh, that's just great! Now I've to find two more sweet ssengers. And what strawberry the Idiot wants to eat? I don't have any," Hera scowled, not having any clue. Then a smile stretched across her face when she reread the ssage. Hunter had written, "Now that you've eaten my strawberry," he was so sure that she would read the ssenger note only after eating the sweet.
"You know so well, Hunter," she had said in an impressed tone.
Rummaging through the box, Hera moved on to find the next one. She chose two more sweets which looked special from the rest. She unwrapped the first one which was full of cherries, coated with vanilla frosting. Hera popped them into her mouth one by one without wasting any ti. And of course, she'd chosen the right one. It had his ssage inside.
"Kiss you, think about you,
Hug you, drool over you,
Miss you, dream about you,
These are the things
I can do anyti,
Anywhere and all day long.
I Love You, Hera Hunter.
P.S. I knew you would pop them into your mouth without wasting any ti. Honestly, Love, I know a better way to stuff that little mouth of yours ;-)
That ssage ended with a winking emoticon. Hera frowned, thinking about what he'd written with a wink. He was talking in riddles, and she had no idea what that last sentence ant. She ignored it soon enough as the tasty juice of cherries coated her taste buds anwhile rereading the ssage.
That "kiss you, hug you, miss you, with an I love you" made her blush once again, and Hera could feel her cheeks getting hot. Not that it's the first ti he'd said I love you to her. He'd been telling that to her ever since they kissed in that church for the first ti. Sadly, that fantasy she once believed in was nothing more than a deceiving illusion now. Yet, here she's, blushing like a bloody bride over his bullshit charade.
Sothing clenched inside, and Hera couldn't help but feel vulnerable. Her emotions still danced around his very na. His words touched her heart, reaching deep down to her core.
'Why, Hunter? Why do you still hold all the reins of my heart?'
Suddenly, she heard the shrill sound of the phone ringing behind her, and she jumped out of her short flashback like a startled rabbit. Hera rembered putting Hunter's call on hold. He'd to disconnect the line and call her again. Her eyes widened at the realisation as she knew he would be angry. Attempting to swallow the dryness in her throat as well as her nervousness, she picked up the phone and received his call.
Her hold on the phone tightened, and she sat on the bed, clutching her heart with her other palm. To her relief, Hunter didn't ask for any explanation as if he understood why she'd put him on hold.
"Don't tell , Goddess, you ate the whole box actually in one go! You know right, all you've to do is check the wrappers to see the ssage? You don't have to eat a box full of sweets," Hunter said, and a soft, low-toned chuckle followed, invading Hera's ear. Taunting, mocking, humiliating, or whatever he was doing, she should've at least known that he's laughing at her expense.
But the only thing her brain could grasp and react to was his amused chuckle which sounded like soothing, lodic music, and Hera resisted the urge to hum along with the rhythm of his laugh.
'It's so not fair he's good at everything without even trying. Why God? Why?'
Hera scolded herself inwardly for getting distracted by that sexy sound of his laughter, and she tried to rember what he was saying. Oh, right, about eating those sweets. He was insulting her, wasn't he? Hera had nothing to retort because he was right. She almost ate the whole box of sweets.
The silence stretched, and Hera did not attempt to break it.
'What should I do if he asks about that "I love you" ssage?'
She silently sent a prayer to the universe to save her from this awkward encounter. He's going to grill her with his arrogance if he ca to know how ridiculously his ssage made her blush. She didn't need him to humiliate her any further. She's not ready to face this embarrassnt.
"Goddess?" Hunter called her questioningly, and she quickly composed herself. It's a good thing that it wasn't a video call and she felt glad that he couldn't see her flushed face.
"Tell , Love, How was it? Did you enjoy the taste of my big Sweet ssenger?" Hunter awaited her reply while Hera grimaced and made a sound of gagging as if she didn't enjoy eating those heavenly sweets.
She wouldn't want to appreciate his sweet efforts, would she now?
