"It's a less bad way of telling me I look dead," I said. But at least I don't need glasses to see well."I still see without them," she defended.She took them off and hung them at the neck of the white T-shirt she was wearing, but her eyes narrowed almost immediately. Of course, the change wasn't much, since the glasses didn't have enough magnification to distort his brown eyes. She wanted to tease him about the slight red mark that her glasses had left on the bridge of her nose, but at that moment Diana appeared and hung from her neck to kiss her on the cheek."Dave!" She greeted him enthusiastically. Twice in the same week? Are you going to die or what?"I'm finally a bit free," he replied, giving a dramatic sigh.-We have a date? Diana looked at us suggestively."We're just going to see a movie," he replied, and that comforted me. Do you want to come?She stared at him, as if wondering if he had become stupid."I can't," he lied in a tone so natural that it made me envious, "I pro

I saw the anger take over his expression."I don't want your fucking apology," he snapped back. I need to understand how the fuck you are so damn immune to all my abilities.-Don't know! And I wish I knew so you'd get the hell out of my life once and for all!He looked at me with narrowed eyes for several seconds. I was not able to add anything else. I caught a glimpse of how she clenched her fists at her sides, and how anger had slightly stirred her breathing.However, suddenly his frown slowly dissipated.-Know? she asked, a half smile spreading across her face. If I kissed you, I bet you that you would really enjoy it.My eyes widened.-That…? I mumbled, stunned. A light laugh came over me, pure bewilderment."I'm not kidding," he insisted. I could make you feel things that no human ever could.I blinked, because I couldn't believe the thread the discussion had gotten off track. I shook my head, too confused.-Are you kidding me?Shrugged."Aren't you curious?" —She raised an eyebr

The sensation was already beginning to irritate me. A couple of weeks ago, I had been terrified by this feeling, but now it just annoyed me.I looked around the entire length of the Monette's Coffee table area , while trying to serve the public as normal, hoping to find the origin of the individual who was watching me. I looked for the demon that I hated so much among all the clients, but I did not find it. I remembered the first days when I was filled with fear and paranoia because of him, and a knot tightened in my stomach.The feeling was so familiar to me by now that I was more than aware it wasn't in my head. The suspicion of danger, the frigid atmosphere and the feeling of being watched were enough for me to know that he was close.Although she couldn't see him anywhere.I gave an irritated sigh. At the request of Paul —the only waiter, since the rest of us were all girls—, I concentrated on ordering the newly arrived merchandise, taking them out of the boxes and arranging them

"Mmm… Very good," I muttered doubtfully. So what are you going to order?"I want a chocolate-filled donut and a caramelized cappuccino."I widened my eyes as I wrote his request on my pad. How much sugar was he able to ingest? It disgusted me just imagining it."Okay, I'll bring it to you right away." And I quickly went to the bar area.I took two other people's order, until I was told that the goth girl's was ready. With the tray in hand, and taking the extreme care that I always felt I had to not hurt anyone, I went to the young woman who was still reading.This time he did notice my arrival and put the device aside, very close to me, while I carefully arranged what he ordered on the small table. My curious instinct made me divert my eyes to his tablet. Then a spark of recognition went through me, and immediately after, a feeling of terror.The upper corner, where the title of the book's chapter could be seen, read: Ars Goetia .My heart skipped a beat as I recognized the text. I ha

“Hey, I appreciate you not saying anything to Dee,” I said quietly, my face glued to the phone.David's brief nervous laugh came from the other end of the line.—Don't worry, I know our friend. She would have pestered you into telling her every detail, and, well…” she murmured, and a slight, yet overwhelming silence settled over the conversation for an instant. The truth is that I don't even know what happened to me.I held my breath.I had the need to tell him to rest easy, that I knew exactly why he still felt like he had been forced to do what he did. However, there was no way he was going to complicate his life like this. It was best for him that he was left with the idea that he had had some idiotic impulse triggered by hormones, or the spur of the moment."I already told you we don't have to talk about it," I replied with the most pleasant tone I could. Just… let's leave it at that.My gaze drifted towards the short girl in dark clothes, who was patiently waiting for me at the s
