/Selene’s POV/“Get me food, you this man,” I screamed.“Okay okay, we will soon get to the nearest restaurant, just be patience with me, geez why are you acting like my pregnant wife??” He muttered silently and I heard that part and my head spun.“Pregnant?? Could I be???” I thought about the possibility but I shrugged it off.“We're here. What do you want to get? Should I go and get it for you or you'd go by yourself?” He questioned.“Fries and sauce with pancakes and syrup, I don't want to go inside, I'm afraid my stomach may churn,” I ordered and he whipped his head back and for a moment I thought he was going to get a whiplash.“Fries and sauce with pancakes??!!!! Will you eat that together or you'll eat them separately??” He exclaimed and scrunched up his nose in disgust.“I'll be eating them together of course, why are you overreacting as if you haven't heard the sweet combination before?” I asked with irritation dripping from my tone.“I know it's not in my position to ask, but
/Selene’s POV/“If you learning means putting my life on the line, please count me out of it.” He contended and I just turned my back on him and put myself in a sleeping position.***************Few hours later ***************“We’re here!” He yelled and cracked his fingers.“We're here?? Are you serious?” I muttered and my eyes flew open and the next sound I heard was an earth-shattering scream, It isn't audible to Gabriel yet but I can hear everything perfectly, even the way she is fumbling with her slippers.“Gabriel!!!” Her high-pitched voice called out one more time and this time, He whipped his head in her direction and opened his arms to accommodate her.“June, I've missed you.” He cried out and she started sobbing in his arms making me feel emotional, I wished there is someone like this for me also.“Gabriel! For all these years, you completely forgot that one of your cousins exists in Ivory Coast.” She cried out while hitting him continuously making me get invested in their c
/Selene’s POV/“Well, congratulations to you, you've successfully hunted for an apartment but you have to make payment so it can validate your hunt as a rented apartment.” He dropped the bomb and I resisted the urge to jump up in excitement.“Can I check out the apartment first before making payment?” I inquired and bounced my knee in anticipation of what he was going to say, June too was listening and rubbing her hands while we were in suspense about what will happen.“Yeah, sure. You can do an apartment check before paying the money.” He reassured and June’s racing heart come to a halt when she heard that, she shrieked and asked for the location and area of the apartment.“Oh, it's just a few blocks away from Cerize restaurant.” He muttered and June squeaked and cover her mouth making me glance in her direction.“Okay, what time is suitable for you to meet up?” I inquired.“It's already late, so how about we meet tomorrow morning, if we can meet early and you pay up immediately, the
/Selene’s POV/“Since Gabriel will be leaving tomorrow, I assume I'll be the one to show you where to meet the man and luckily my shift starts tomorrow at noon.” She informed.“It's pleasing to know that you guys can tolerate each other, at least I'll be rest assured that you're in good hands,” Gabriel stated as I smiled warmly at him, he acts like the caring relative I never had.“Well, my eyes are closing already and it's Past nine already so I think we should go to bed,” June suggested and I bobbed my head enthusiastically, I don't want to be the one to drop the bomb before but now that someone has done it, I'll happily oblige to it.“Yeah, I think so also, I have a very long journey ahead of me tomorrow, so I better rest up.” Gabriel agreed.“Yeah right, you can sleep in the guest room, I and Phoebe will sleep in my room.” She mentioned and I groaned hoping she doesn't snore like a cow, I can't sleep if she does that so it's better to pray to moon goddesses to be on my side today.
/Selene's POV/“Well, here we go, I hope her sleeping habits don't send me to an early grave and permit me to tell my tales tomorrow.” I wished, but sadly not all wishes come through, throughout the midnight, I was kicked and jabbed by June, her snores were light and inaudible, but sadly I'm a werewolf and I pick up almost all sounds.“I know what fits this girl, the perfect occupation has been discovered for her, I need to talk to her about considering taking taekwondo or jujitsu lessons because how she managed to throw powerful kicks despite being partially dead is a mystery to be discovered.” I wondered and one of her powerful kicks intruded my train of thought making me carry one pillow and the folded brown thick sheets by the corner, I considered going to the living room to sleep on the couch despite knowing the kind of uncomfortably that I will be met with, I still proceeded with the decision because it is better than not being able to function after the marathon of powerful kic
/Selene’s POV/“Don't forget to put your helmet on, should in case your usual slip-up happens,” I yelled and I didn't see the slippers she threw coming.“Oops, I groaned in pain.” I screamed and she burst into fits of giggles.“Did you have to say you groaned in pain? Was that necessary? I can literally hear you so I know you groaned in pain.” She taunted while clutching her stomach.“I didn't see that coming, but I was just being honest and reminding you of what you should do, if it wasn't for the helmet you wore yesterday, I'm very much sure that you'd have developed a brain tumour.” I reminded and she threw me her second slippers but I quickly dodged the slippers before it could get to making me stick my tongue out.“The water is boiling already, isn't it time to pour the pasta in?” June pointed out and I sprung to action and quickly pour all the ingredients, followed by the pasta. “June, I'm not asking you to touch or put anything into the food, just watch over it till I brush my
/Selene’s POV/I held myself from sobbing at the only relative I’ve had since my parents died, the moment I heard the soft roar of his car fade away in the distance, I shook my head and turned on the shower.I stood stiffly while the patter of water dropped on my body, I don’t know why I’m so sad about Gabriel leaving, it’s not as if we might not see again, we will still have different occasions to see each other.“Phoebe, are you okay?” June voiced out her concern and I could hear her light footsteps going back and forth in the room.“Yeah, I’m okay. I’ll be out in a minute.” I answered her and wrapped a smaller towel around my thick untamed hair. I wrap the white towel around myself and walked outside making sure not to slip and fall, although the chance of doing that is close to zero since I’m not June.“Your eyes look so puffy and red, I know you’ve gotten very attached to my uncle, but I totally think you’re overreacting, it’s not as if he’s dead or moving to another continent en
/Selene's POV/“Hi ladies, I guess you’re the one in need of an apartment right?” A gravelly voice asked we whipped our heads towards the direction where the voice was coming from. I could hear the thousands of heartbeats from all directions, even the smell of coffee was intoxicating and overwhelming in the building.“Yes, we are the one,” June answered bringing me out of the trance I was in.“Have your seat.” he permitted and I looked closely at the man in his thirties, his aftershave scent was prominent, his forest green eyes looked so tired, and his dirty blonde hair rested on his head messily, I looked down before taking it seat and his black pants and sky blue shirt was neatly ironed without a crease on them making me smile, with his glasses resting on his nose like my former principal nicknamed Mr Boo-boo-bear.“Hello, I'm Phoebe and she is June, my friend.” I introduced and he bobbed his head and smiled warmly at us.“My name is Raphael Hartwood. ” He introduced and I bounced m
