My Emotionless Goddess

” A woman?” Exclaimed Justin and Kiel in unison.

“Mmm.” Ronald replied lazily making the two men pause to ponder on what he meant by that.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

” You want to tell me that the reason he’s here is because of that friend of Lucia? The doctor?” Kiel asked, his voice and facial expressions full of disbelief. How so?

” You figured it out yourself.” Ronald said with a laid back tone.

” But why would he follow her all the way here without caring much for his security?” Justin still couldn’t relate those two things.

“There’s only one reason… Attachment… And that can happen after engaging in intimate things so my guess is that the doctor took advantage of him and deflowered him. To him, it’s a big deal and would want to stick to the person who made him experience it for the first time.” Ronald spoke his mind.

” She didn’t take advantage of me, it’s me who followed her and allowed her to do that to me.” At that moment, a voice was heard, making the room turn pindrop silent. Everyone turned to look at the man who just spoke for the first time since they arrived, of course with the exception of Ronald. He wasn’t surprised one bit, he knew that mentioning that issue would earn a response from the introverted guy.

The room fell to silence as a nosy Crow flew past their heads. ” So you are saying you planned all that?” Kiel asked mischievously. His mischief knew no bounds and his gossiping stomach was growling for some good gossip. Gabriel blushed hearing that, it’s because he remembered that fateful night he couldn’t control himself after his crush pressed her body to his and requested him to eat her. He then remembered how she has been devouring him every night these days. Each day they would explore something new and his little brother who was non existent for years started throbbing again. His face turned red like cooked prawns. Seeing this, Kiel laughed out loud.

” Hey man! Tell us honestly… What naughty things are you thinking about now to blush like this? Kiel asked, he teased the guy mercilessly. Gabriel who was never used to such casual talks swallowed heavily only to be choked by his saliva.

” That’s enough Kiel, Leave the poor guy alone.'” Ronald interrupted but Gabriel retorted seriously.” I am not poor.” For the second time in the day, his words left everyone dumbfounded but this time, the silence was broken when Kiel Burst out laughing. He couldn’t believe how innocent a thirty year old guy could be. It was hilarious that he didn’t seem to understand Human language at all. Kiel wondered which planet the creature before them came from.

” Am serious. Although I don’t own many properties, I have invested my money.” Gabriel explained and seeing the blank expression in Ronald and Justin’s face paired with the weird gaze the other boy was throwing at him, Gabriel realised that maybe they didn’t trust his words.” It’s true, I have invested a lot, in real estate, banking and many others. My mother said that I need to have money to marry the mother of my children.” Gabriel replied, his face serious as if he was explaining a certain important concept making Kiel grin mischievously.

” The mother of your children? Who is she? Is it that doctor downstairs? But I heard she already has a boyfriend?” Kiel said out of impulse not knowing the intensity of his words to the poor guy.

” B. boyfriend? She has a boyfriend?” Gabriel couldn’t form a complete sentence. Those words shocked him to the core. How could she have a boyfriend and still do those things with her? Did she not see him worth enough? Was it because he was introverted? Was it because he wasn’t like any other normal person? Was it because….? Countless questions flashed through his mind and he felt his heart clench in pain. Those words assaulted his ears, slashed his heart and shut down his brain. He felt like he wanted to cry but he couldn’t cry, not because he couldn’t but because he didn’t know how to do it.

He had thought that she was finally okay with marrying him so what happened? What was he in her life? To him, she was the first woman to ever make him see a lady beyond the dressing code. She was the one who invaded his body and awakened desires he never knew existed. She was what gave his life meaning once again. But…. She had a boyfriend?

Battling with the intense emotions clouding his mind and not knowing how to express them, Gabriel stood, clutching his chest and took hurried steps outside the room. We could say he practically ran off. He couldn’t stay here any longer. He couldn’t look her in the eye knowing sfe had another person in her life. He couldn’t do those things that made him feel alive with her anymore because she wasn’t his. Now, he even felt guilty for heeding his mother’s advice of asking her to take responsibility. Maybe he had pushed her to be with him??

Gabriel dashed downstairs and through the entrance door. He didn’t even stop to look at the ladies seated chatting by the sofas. His emotions were going haywire. He had never felt this awful before. He ran away, not looking back nor caring about the curious glances he got from passersby. He didn’t even know where the hell he was going, but he knew he had to get away, far away from her. He can’t continue insisting on being with her nor was he worthy of fighting for her… Fighting? That word sounded alien to his ears but that’s what his mother told him. That he has to fight for what he wants but was that possible? Did he even have the chance to fight here? Most importantly, was he worth fighting for her? The best he could do was just surrender his body to her, he had nothing else to offer. He couldn’t even hold a decent conversation with her, not to mention her friends. Wouldn’t she turn into a laughing stock for being with a person like him? He hadn’t considered that but now that he did, the reality struck him hard. He wasn’t worth and would never be worth of her.
