Chapter 19 - Looks Familiar!

"Can you see us?" asked the two men in unison.

Selene let out a soft giggle before nodding her head. "Of course, yes! I can see you both. I'm not blind!"

Eros and Azrael could hardly believe that Selene could see them right now. She was not supposed to see them unless they would let themselves be visible to her.

The two men just stood frozen in front of her, restraining each other's arms while wearing a stunned and amused expression on their faces.

It was Azrael who recovered first from the daze. Since he was not used to seeing humans or even mingle with them, Azrael, the mischievous grim reaper, quickly released Eros's hands and fled away from the football field.

He just turned around and walked out, without saying a word. Eros and Selene were the only people left on the football field.

Eros: "..."

Selene: "Where is he going? Why did he suddenly leave?"

Eros and Selene just watched Azrael retreating back, running away from them in a rush. There was a moment of complete silence when he vanished from their sights.

On the other hand, Eros didn't know what to do. He was thinking of leaving Selene as well.

She was not supposed to see him in that form for two main reasons. First reason: Selene must not know Eros's adult form. He should maintain his child-like appearance in front of her.

Second reason: he should avoid Selene using this form because he was afraid that Selene might recognize him. After all, he was the intruder who suddenly appeared in her bathroom while she was taking a bath.

He was also too embarrassed to face her. He also had a nagging feeling that Selene was still suspecting him as a psycho and a pervert.

'I must save my face and leave as soon as possible,' Eros thought to himself, turning around to leave.

However before he could take a step, a soft hand already grabbed his elbow thus stopping him from leaving.

'Agh! Why stop me? What does she want from me now?' Eros groaned inwardly, trying his best not to look in Selene's direction.

"Hey don't leave. I just want to ask you something. Are you a member of the Taekwondo and Karate Club of the school?" Selene asked Eros curiously.

She asked him this question because she wanted to join the Club. She was not able to do it in the past.

She just learned taekwondo and self-defense moves two years after she graduated from College. She applied in one training program before as part of her coping mechanism when she was still grieving for her grandmother's death.

She wanted to divert her attention and her training helped her a lot to cope with her sorrow. She really had fun before.

After seeing Eros and Azrael fighting moments ago, it brought back memories of her training. Now, she was interested to join the Taekwondo Club of their school.

Meanwhile, Eros was about to answer her when Selene moved in front of him in order to see his face clearly. She spoke again even before Eros could utter a word.

"I wonder if I can join your-" Selene was not able to finish her sentence as she suddenly stopped when she recognized Eros.

The smile on her face moments ago dissipated into thin air in an instant. It was replaced by a look of disbelief.

"Wait… you look familiar to me…" Selene skimmed her memory for a few seconds, looking at Eros's face intently while trying to confirm if the person she saw in the bathroom this morning was this guy.

Eros suddenly had a bad feeling about this. 'Did she recognize me? Did she remember me? Please no… or else I'm doomed!'

"Oh my Gosh! Holy Cow!" Selene gasped and blurted out.

"You are the pervert who sneaked inside my bathroom!!! How dare you?! You pervert… you deserve some beatings!" Selene yelled at Eros as she began hitting him on his strong hard chest and broad shoulders.

"Hey! Hey! STOP! Let me explain first!" Eros wanted to calm her and talk to her first but Selene didn't listen to him as she continued throwing punches at him.

This time she was confident to fight him since she's wearing comfortable clothes unlike this morning that she was naked and she had to cover her sensitive parts of her body.

Eros had no choice but to defend himself or else he would become Selene's punching bag tonight. This would hurt his ego since he was aware that Azrael was just lurking in shadow while watching them right now.

'That Moron Azrael! I bet he is laughing at my situation right now. I won't let myself be his laughingstock,' Eros thought to himself.

In a flash, Eros caught Selene's arms, turning her around as he hugged her from behind thus trapping her using his strong arms.

"I said stop! Why you don't know how to listen?! Can you just let me explain first?"

Selene's eyes widened in surprise when she felt his arms engulfing her body. She was caught off guard by Eros's very quick moves.

'Sh*t! He is hugging me now?! A pervert is hugging me!' Selene was screaming in her mind. But she felt strange because her body seemed to like his warmth.

"Let me go!" She demanded, complaining to him.

But Eros tightened his grip, not allowing Selene to move. "No… I won't let you go unless you will listen to my explanation first without hitting me and making me your punching bag."

Selene felt a chill running down her spine as she could feel his breath fanning her neck. His face was very close to hers from the side.

For some unknown reason, Selene's heart started to beat rapidly inside her chest. Her face felt like heating up. She didn't know if this was because she's nervous, afraid, mad, or something.

All she know was that their closeness was making her feel uncomfortable but at the same time, making her feel so... good?!

'GOOD??! NO WAY!' Selene denied her last thought.
