Chapter 59 - The Memory Of Their First Kiss

When Renz left Selene in his bedroom, Eros finally removed his invisibility. He sat down on the edge of the bed beside her sleeping figure.

Eros was having complicated emotions right now. The memories of their kiss still lingered on his mind.

Reflexively, he brought his fingers on his face, tracing his lower lip as he reminisced the wonderful feeling of kissing her.

The first kiss initiated by Selene was understandable since she was drunk and she had no idea that he was Eros, her cupid.

But the second kiss which was initiated by him was another story. He was not supposed to do that, especially to his human contractee. 

However, Eros felt like he was possessed at that time. He had the strong urge to kiss her and so he did despite knowing it was not allowed.

'I made a mistake. It's strange… because I didn't regret it at all…" Eros mumbled. His lips curled up into a faint smile while looking tenderly at Selene's sleeping figure.

He was back in his dilemma. He couldn't decide whether to erase her memory about that kiss or not. 

For their mission to become successful, he knew that Selene should focus on Renz and she should not be distracted by other men including him.

But just thinking about Selene not remembering that kiss made Eros a little bit sad. Selene might forget but Eros would never forget it. It was his first kiss after all.

Eros sighed deeply, still looking at Selene. "Selene, what should I do?"

He caressed Selene's face. After a few seconds, Eros made up his mind. He placed his hand on top of Selene's forehead. It did not take long when his hand glowed with white light.

"Selene, I'm sorry but I have to erase the memory of your first kiss…" Eros felt saddened while saying those words to her.

"I'm afraid that once you wake up tomorrow you will regret what you have done last night. As you said, you've been saving your first kiss for your future husband and that man is Renz…" Eros smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry… I will treasure and cherish our first kiss…"

After erasing her memory, Eros went out to gather himself. He needed to calm the raging emotions swirling inside his heart.

Staying with Selene would just make it worse. He was afraid he might do something again that he was not supposed to do.

Eros tried to distract himself by flying with the floating clouds in the night sky. He was going round and round, flying back and forth for several hours until he stopped to take a rest.

He lay his body on the top of the floating clouds, resting his head on his arm. He closed his eyes as he breathed the fresh air. Only a few hours left before sunrise.

Eros looked like sleeping but his mind was wide awake. He tried his best to distract himself but Selene's beautiful face kept flashing on his mind.

"Selene… What have you done to me? Did you cast a spell when you kissed me?" Eros mumbled to himself.

"Kiss you?! Who kissed you?"

Eros's heart almost jumped out of his heart when he heard that familiar voice. He flung his eyes open only to see Azrael standing beside him.

'Oh God, how long has he been standing there?! Did he hear everything I said?' Eros thought to himself anxiously.

Eros sat up straight, concealing his emotions. He needed to act naturally or Azrael would discover something.

"It's nothing! I'm just memorizing some cheesy lines that I can teach to my human contractee. We are planning to get her first kiss with her fiancee," Eros came up with a better excuse.

Azrael just nodded his head. He didn't suspect anything and believed Eros's words. Besides, he didn't hear everything.

"By the way, why are you here again? Are you following me?" Eros asked Azrael exasperatedly. 

Azrael joined Eros as he sat down beside him. "Don't flatter yourself, Eros. I'm not following you. I was around the area when I saw someone flying back and forth like a lost child who didn't know where to go."

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Azrael asked him curiously.

"Nothing… I just want to fly. What's wrong with that?"

"Hmm, okay. I'm just making sure that you didn't lose your mind. Hahaha." Azrael began teasing Eros once again.

Eros's face contorted when he heard that. "Losing my mind? Why do you think so?"

Azrael let out a loud chuckle before patting Eros's shoulder.

"Well, who is in his right mind to fly round and round in the same area for several hours?"

Eros lifted his eyebrow. "How did you know that? Don't tell me you've been watching me for several hours now?! Are you my stalker?"

Azrael just shrugged his shoulders. "I didn't mean to. But you were attracting too much attention. Even the other grim reapers saw you doing that."

Eros just sighed deeply. "Let them be. I just want to enjoy the night sky."

"By the way, can I ask you something?" Eros said, glancing at Azrael.

"Sure, what is it?"

"Do you have a first kiss? Have you ever kissed someone?" Eros asked Azrael expectantly.

**Awkward Silence**

Azrael: "..."

A cupid asking a grim reaper about his first kiss. That was so weird.

After a while, Eros just felt a hand smacking his forehead.

"Aww!" He grunted.

"Have you lost your mind, Eros? Why are you asking me that kind of question?" Azrael finally recovered from that awkwardness.

"Why not? Are angels not allowed to kiss someone?" Eros said, justifying himself.

He just wanted to know if Azrael had ever done that as well. At least, he was not the only one just in case Azrael had already experienced it.

Azrael arched his eyebrows as he watched Eros suspiciously.

Eros regretted asking Azrael when he saw his suspicious gaze. 'Did he figure out that I kissed Selene?'

"Eros… are you…"

"What me?" Eros cut him off immediately.

"Are you mocking a grim reaper like me just because I don't have my first kiss yet?"

Eros: "..."

"Hmm, but if you want... you can help me with that… I want to kiss the most beautiful cupid in the Angel's Agape Realm! Can you ask Sienna to fulfill my wish? Hehe!" Azrael said shamelessly.

Eros: "..."
