Loving the Dead

Chapter XII- Sleepless Nights

I tossed and turned all night. Every cell in my body was willing me to call Hades. Something in me wanted to make sure that he knew I was single.

Yeah yeah, sue me, I lied.

I just wanted to have an upper hand, and look how it came back to bite me in the ass.

It must be the partner thingy the witch was talking about. I mean he is legit toxic, yet everything in me wanted to be with him.

Deciding I will get no sleep, I got up to get a shower. It was four in the morning, pretty early for me.

"See you tomorrow, Kylie." I bid my coworker and head to my car when I find Hades leaning on my car.

"What are you doing here?'' I ask him. He simply smiles while moving aside to let me in. And when I say smiled, he didn't annoyingly smirk, no. He gave me a beautiful, genuine smile. My insides fluttered and somehow it made me feel so happy and contented. I have never seen him smile like this before, not even in the visions.

I was about to ask him again why he was here when I felt him stiffen. He jerked his head to the left and narrowed his eyes.

He pulled me to the passenger side, and himself got in the driver's side, and let out only one word,

"Angelo".
