MARK MY MATE

My boyfriend

Malik looked confused, "This soon, how can I decide this fast"

Rafshan looked at him, "I could have given you a few minutes, but I offered you a full day"

"Come on I need to figure out who she is"

"You know her name, what else do you need to know about her?"

"Are you insane, how could you go into a relationship with someone after knowing only her name"

"That's why I am surprised you started a relationship with her without knowing, her name"

"What are you talking about?"

"Didn't you mark her before you knew her name, I mean in case you didn't know, you guys are already in a relationship, you just don't want to accept it"

"Come on, I need to know her better."

"I'm giving you two days to decide, or I'll kill her on instant"

"Hey, you" before he could stop him he had already disappeared.

If only he could teleport in time, he hadn't learnt everything about demons since he had little time to practice. He had only learnt how to teleport places but not time.

He had learnt only half everything, he couldn't teleport time but he could teleport places, he couldn't hear what people said inside their hearts but he could hear what people said far away from him, he couldn't control people's minds and action, but he could control things and their movement.

"Why am I behind in everything?" he grinned. He stood up and moved to the sitting room. He took a glass of water and started drinking. That's when he heard people laughing outside, he peeked through the window and saw Tracy welcoming someone, he saw them entering so he sat back in the couch as if nothing had happened, the door knob turned and in came Tracy and a man. He was tall, with a pale skin, and thick black hair.

"Oh Malik, you're still awake?" Tracy asked surprised by his presence.

Malik looked a up from his glass, "I ran short of sleep"

"Oh, uhm, this is Henry?" she said gesturing at the man she was with.

Malik stood up, "Henry, nice to meet you, I'm Malik"

"Oh, nice to meet you Malik" Henry said reaching out his hand for a handshake, and Malik responded.

"Ok, Malik I'll show Henry to his room." Tracy said and moved on with Henry.

Malik was left alone in the sitting room, still puzzled by who this Henry guy was.

After a few minutes, Tracy returned to the sitting room.

"I see you're still up" she said

"I'm not sleepy yet."

"Oh, Henry is asleep, he is so tired from the long journey?"

"Long journey?"

"Uhm, he is from France, he's been there for three months"

"Oh" he wasn't sure what to say, he knew of France, but he knew a France from the past.

"He is my boyfriend, we have been in a long distance relationship, he normally returns home after six months, but I think we'll get married soon"

Malik felt like a huge stone had knocked his heart leaving it totally smashed. Why was he feeling like this, he never loved her. "Maybe it was because he knew that after this, Rafshan would surely kill her and he was probably was feeling sorry for her", he consoled himself.

"So, for long have you been together" he asked

"It's been two years, though only a few months have I been, physically with him, even when I put them together it doesn't make a year, isn't it funny, only a few months but I proudly say two years"

Malik looked into her eyes, he could see she was hurt, and that proved she loved him so much, he then looked at her mark and remembered Melkin's words whenever he talked about mates and how they are formed (Melkin was Malik's other friend, a demon as well) "Mates come naturally, never can you mark a wrong mate, you are always destined to have one mate, and once you mark a person, then you know you were destined to be" he always said.

Was he destined to have Tracy as his mate, he was so confused, how could it be her, she was deeply in love with someone else.

"What are you thinking about?" Tracy asked seeing Malik so deep in thought.

Malik turned to her snapping out of his thoughts.

"Uhm, nothing really."

"You still ain't sleepy, coz I think I'm sleepy already"

"I, I'm not yet, but it's okay, you can go"

"Okay, good night, and please don't do the chores tomorrow"

"Why?"

"Since, my boyfriend is here, he may think you are my help"

"What?!"

"Uhm, by the way, if he asks you, tell him we were friends from high school and that you are here to visit"

"Huh?!" he was totally confused

"He's a jealous type, so possessive when it comes to me" she said proudly.

"Okay, got it"

Tracy waved him good bye and left for bed, Malik stayed alone in the sitting room once again.

He was supposed to lie about something he didn't understand, he figured he knew nothing about the modern world, he felt he had to do something about it. Could Rafshan help, why did he think Rafshan was the solution to his every problem, but it only had to be him. Nobody else could be willing to help him. He closed his eyes called Rafshan using his powers but he was no where to be seen.

He gave up and went to his bedroom, as he was passing by Henry bedroom, he had him talking, he was tempted to ears drop the conversation, but he couldn't here the other person, he was probably on the phone but Malik couldn't figure it out.

He listened closely,

"Look darling, I have already reached US, I haven't met with the investors but don't worry this business trip wont take long, I promise love, I'll come back soon, I love you so much my dear wife"

Malik did not understand the conversation but he caught the sentence, ""I love you so much my dear wife""
