Animal Spirit: The Deer

Family dinner

Matthew P.O.V.

I look into mirror. Well, that's not that bad.. I perfume myself with cologne and fix my collar. I try so bad to make my hair obedient, but as usual I failed and since I was already late, I just give up.  As every Sunday we all have a dinner together. I really like our Sunday dinners. Everybody sits down together talking, eating a good food. But unlike every other dinner I'm really nervous this time. Arthemis will be there and I want to make a good impression. I woke up just a bit ago, took a quick shower and changed into jeans and black shirt. I stare at my reflection one last time before I rush out of my room to the dinning room. Everybody is already sitting behind the table. I sit on the only chair left right opposite Themi. I look at Azu as she winked at me smirking. I shake my head, she really is a matchmaker. I peek at Themi and smile for myself. She looks so beautiful. Her hairs are tied up in messy bun,she wears  casual black dresses,her eyes are highlighted with light make up.  She looks up at me and smile at me, I smile at her shyly and look down on my plate. 

The dinner was going really good, everybody was having fun. We talked about everything and laughed. I peeked at Themi from time to time, she was laughing too, but she looked a little sad. " So, Arte, how do you like it here so far? " Reaper asks her and smile at her charmingly. " I love it here, everybody is just so nice to me. It's great to have home again," she smiles at him too. "Well,we're really glad to have you here," he winks at her smiling. " Thank you," she blush a bit. I feel jealousy coming over me, so I just focus on my food. But the thoughts already start haunting me. She acts like nothing happened, what if she rejects me? Or what if she is my Amor but I'm not her Amor or mate? I read this could happened sometimes. All this thoughts are running through my head like crazy. She will defintely reject me.. I called her a kid for god sake... " Are you alright Matt? " a voice interrupt my inner monolog. I force my mind to focus on the conversation and look behind the voice. Pho looks at me with a questioning look. " Yeah, I'm alright, just tired of the traveling," I smile at her, " I guess I'll go to bed guys," I smile at everybody apologetically and take my empty plate to kitchen to clean it.

As I reach the kitchen I can hear Pho behind me, " Matt are you really alright? ", she catch up on me and 

she accompany me to the kitchen. As we walk I tell her everything, she's like my second sister and I'm really glad that Azu have someone as amzing as she is. She smiles brightly listening. " Well she's too weak to connect with her spirit right now, maybe that's why she doesn't feel the bond between you two. I would wait for a bit, in the meantime you can get to know each other better," she smiles at me encouragingly. " Do you really think so?" I look at her surprised. " I know it for sure and I know you will be perfect for her" she smiles brightly. " You know I'm  like a bull in a china shop when it comes to dating.. And after Rianna.. "  I look down trying to drive away the memories. " This is something else Matt and you know it. She is your Amor, she would never hurt you on purpose. You're meant to be. And if you ever have some problems, I can always help you. I'll be Pho the matchmaker," she chuckles. " Thank you so much Pho, but why do you want to help me so much?". " Because I want you to be happy and I want her to be happy. And I know you can make her happy and protect her from anything". I look at her surprised, " Why do you care so much?". She looks down, " Because she's really important for me.."
