In Love with a Human CHAPTER 27: She Feels Like Home
VidaVida's Apartment, New York CityThings are about to get interesting.As Vida opened the door to her apartment, she immediately hesitated about bringing Colter over.It was surreal to say the least. The man she had been dreaming about was actually real. She had doubts at first when she could not find him at all on social media. But when he appeared that day at Burn's, she knew it was too good to be true. There must be something going on. She was not sure yet what it was but there was something she could not place. "So, uh, make yourself at home." Vida flipped the switches and light flooded the living room. "Let me get some towels so you could dry off."While she went to the tiny bathroom down the hall to get some towels, she realized that she had a stranger in her apartment. Well, Colter was technically not a stranger, but nonetheless, Vida had only known him for a couple of days. It was out of character for her to be taking in homeless men"Homeless yet drop-dead gorgeous men,"
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 28: Oh Boy, This is a Mess
VidaVida’s Apartment, Planet EarthHer thoughts betrayed her as she stared at the ceiling of her apartment, there was a disturbance in her very existence as she tried her best to find sleep. But it would not just come to her. She lay in her bed, blankly trying to under what was going on. Her guest, a man that came straight out of her dreams, was on the sofa close by. A coffee table was set up to make a mark of separation between them.Vida thrashed around in bed as her thoughts lingered, sleep would not come as she fought against the voices that were biting at her mind. It was as if regret suddenly decided to show up and start biting at her being as she tried to comprehend what was going on. Was it naivety that made her trust this person that was lying and sleeping on the sofa that she had set up a while ago. This stranger who had somehow landed in the midst of a bustling New York City was now in her own apartment, sleeping peacefully.“Stupid!” Vida’s thoughts screamed at her, “Jus

ColterVida’s Apartment, New York CityHe had watched them mutter to themselves without a second thought, thinking that this was part of the Earth's culture.They whispered to themselves and stared at him from time to time but Colter paid it no mind as he stood there while they spoke about him.At once, Tessa straightened herself up and looked at him directly with a small smile on her face, Colter returned the gaze with his nerves slightly going up but he was not going to show them.“So, Colter.” Tessa announced, “Vida and I were talking…”‘Well obviously…” Colter’s brain thought, “You were whispering like two children right now.”“If you want to stay here” Tessa continued, “You’ll have to earn your keep.”“Earn my keep?” Colter repeated dumbly and Tessa grinned.“You will have to help Vida pay for this apartment, so you’ll need to take a job and earn money”The concept of working was not alien to the young prince, he had seen people toil and sweat just to get paid at the end of day,

ColterNew York CityHis Ecanus powers had helped him immensely in his first day of work, his skills and strengths made him easily react to the orders of the bar’s patrons. His non-human anatomy made the bar’s productivity rise twice the usual. He carried a large number of orders and was able to set them before the customer’s got impatient.Colter’s quickness, capability of focusing his essence into boosting his body and his overall looks took the hearts of many customers. There were more than usual at Burn’s today, and it was all because of him.Tessa was shooting him dirty glances at the additional work they had to face, while Vida tried to apologetically make up for the increase in their workload.Even the gossip of a hot, sexy, young and handsome waiter starting his job at Burn’s made an impact as there were more patrons than usual. Vida and Tessa had to deal with less lecherous drunks while at the same time had to endure the words these new people said to the prince who was merel
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 31: Don't Easily Trust Someone
King MalikKingdom of Howard“That stubborn, arrogant shithead!” Malik roared, slamming down his fists in the table. The other Ecanus that had gathered around him flinched at the king’s recently shortened temper. They had tried to contact the missing prince but he just would not answer their telekinetic calls. “That idiot…” the king continued, exasperated at the mess that his younger son had left the kingdom in. “If he only had self-control, if he could have practiced a bit more of patience and majesty, the kingdom would not be in this awful situation.”“Deity Flora” Malik said calmly, the oracle was standing by, watching them with serene eyes. “What should I do…?” his voice sounded weak and pathetic, as if the past few weeks had drained him of all his resolve.“In order for things to go as foreseen” the deity told him quietly, her eyes showed no pity or remorse at the king’s sorry state, “I must not interfere. I would give you my apologies, King Malik but it seems at the moment, I w
In Love with a Human CHAPTER 32: Lusts and Desires
King DyronKingdom of HavoccThe king watched as his vultures, shedding their Ecanus disguises returned to him. The smile on his face told the story of a predator finally spotting its prey. He greeted them with a warm smile as they perched on the railings of the balcony.“My sweetlings…” he muttered, stroking them each on the head, while giving them small kisses, “You must be famished. Feast!”He pointed at multiple carcasses of deer that were lying on the floor, the vultures jumped at it immediately devouring flesh and separating the meat from the bones until there was nothing left.Dyron watched this unfold with an evil smile, “Like my vultures on a carcass, the Kingdom of Havocc will pick at the bones of whatever remains of the Kingdom of Howard.”He was tempted to attack the kingdom now, with Colter missing, but the news of another one of their greatest soldiers leaving made him want it even more. Vergil was apparently departing as well to look for the missing prince.Dyron saliva

VidaOutside Burn’s, New York CityIt had been a tiring shift, but work was over nonetheless. Vida and Tessa walked out of Burn’s, their tiredness showing on their faces but they were smiling because they finally had free time. But Colter had been missing for a while now, he had left work earlier to do something and Peter just smiled and let him do so because he was bringing in more customers than ever.“Where’d the gorgeous, homeless man go?” Tessa asked Vida as they walked towards the bus stop, Vida frowned at Tessa’s comments and smacked her in the arm.“He has a name you know!” she said protectively and Tessa rolled her eyes.“Alright, alright, where did Colter the gorgeous, homeless man go? He doesn’t even have a phone or any kind of device that we can reach him with.” “He said he was going to do something” Vida pouted with a shrug, already missing Colter’s warming presence around her.“Well, hopefully he comes around soon and he’s not passed out at another busy street” Tessa jo

ELOISADuchess' tea room, Kingdom of Howard"Your Grace, I brought in some lovely daffodils from the shop in the village. They would look lovely in your sunroom."Eloisa, who was gazing at the Palace from the window, looked at what her handmaid June, was carrying in her hand."Those look lovely. Thank you, June." Eloisa sighed as she returned her eyes to the window.June proceeded to the dresser table by the window and started to arrange the newly-bought daffodils in an empty vase. She noted how the Duchess seemed to be forlorn.She cleared her throat and spoke cheerily, "It's a lovely day out, miss. Would you want to go to the village and try out some hats? I heard Bastille's has some new collections coming in today."Eloisa sighed. "No, I'd rather stay inside." She was still reeling from what happened the other night at the Palace. Although her cheek had recovered from the assault, Gian's words were the ones that still resonated with her.“Get dressed and leave. Now."Suffice to say
