Chapter 71 - I'm An Angel

Two days after they met at the Cafe near the school, Selene decided to bring Eros's human form, Gabriel, to the main shop of Luna Clothing Brand to see Samantha.

She thought Gabriel should meet the person whom they would try to save and protect. She had no idea that he already knew Samantha.

Selene didn't attend classes today since she had to bring Eros to Samantha's shop. Fortunately, Eros told her that he was free today and he had no class. Selene also informed Samantha that she would visit her together with a friend. 

Renz had already requested Samantha beforehand if she could tour Selene around her shop. She gladly accepted Renz's request since Selene was now her friend. 

So Samantha became excited when she received Selene's message that she was coming today.

Selene and Eros met at the front gate of De La Carmel University. As usual, Selene brought her car since it would be convenient to travel around the city. She enjoyed driving her own car now.

Selene was put in a trance the moment she saw Eros standing at the front gate. He was wearing another white plain shirt and ragged jeans matched with white rubber shoes. 

His clothes looked ordinary and simple but when he was the one wearing them, the complete picture stood out, attracting lots of women.

She could see that the ladies who were just passing by couldn't help but pause on their tracks and watched Eros. There was a gleam of admiration in their glowing eyes as they looked at him.

Selene had to admit that he looked gorgeous, cool, and refreshing with his get-up. His plain white fitting shirt emphasized his muscular features and body build. She could somehow faintly see the abs underneath that white shirt.

He was too handsome even from afar. His untamed silver-gray hair and gorgeous blue eyes added more points to his masculine presence that exuded an exceptional charm. He had the kind of overall look that could stop anyone in their tracks.

"Don't tell me Eros specifically chose Gabriel just because of his good looks," Selene murmured to herself before stepping out of her car to call Eros.

"Gab!!!" She called him while waving her hands. 

Eros turned to his side and smiled right away upon seeing Selene. He immediately walked towards her. 

"Did you wait for me that long?" Selene asked him.

Eros shook his head. "No worries, you just came on time."

Selene giggled after hearing that. "Let's go?"

"Hmm, sure."

Soon the two of them entered Selene's car. Just like Eros, Selene was just wearing simple clothes such as a yellow plain shirt that was tucked in her high-waist blue jeans matched with white sneakers.

Selene was simply pretty with her light makeup and her long black hair tied up in a ponytail.

"So what will you tell Samantha? She might wonder why you bring a guy like me in her shop," Eros started a conversation with Selene.

Eros felt glad to be in this form. He could talk to Selene without being treated as a child. Every time he was in his child-like form, Selene always treated him like her younger brother.

At least now, he could avoid Selene for pinching his poor cheeks. But there was something he missed: Selene's Hug. 

Whenever he was in his child-like form, Selene was hugging him more often. He was used to it by now. But since he was in his adult form, Selene would not hug him like that.

"Hmm, don't worry. I will just inform Samantha that you have a younger sibling who loves her designs," Selene responded to Eros's query.

"Hmm, okay. I like this. I feel like I am a secret agent in those movies. Then a hero who will catch the villain!" Eros said to Selene cheerfully.

Selene glanced at Eros helplessly. "Why are you having fun? If you just know... I am nervous for your safety."

'Now, you know how I felt when you decided to get involved with this. I am also worried about your safety. That's why I tried to stop you before but you didn't listen to me. You insisted on saving Samantha. You even threatened me that you would do it even without my help!'

Eros had the urge to scold Selene but he just restrained himself from speaking those words to her.

"Hmm, Selene, if I'm not here, you will still do it, right? You will also try to save her even if you will put yourself at risk. Honestly, I would also feel the same… being nervous for your safety."

Selene was taken aback when she heard that. 

'Eh, why would he feel nervous for my safety? We are not that close. Hmm, I think he is just saying this because I am his employer right now.'

Selene faced him once again, flashing a faint smile on her lovely face. 

"Don't worry about me, Gab. Even if you are not here, I have my guardian angel with me. He will always keep me safe. I just know that."

Eros: "..."

He was at a loss for words. He knew that Selene was referring to him, her cupid, and her guardian angel.

Deep inside, he was touched because Selene was relying on him this much. She was confident that Eros would never allow anything bad to happen to her. She trusted Eros wholeheartedly.

Eros couldn't help but smile at that thought. "I think you have an amazing guardian angel with you."

Selene giggled because of his last remarks. "I am surprised that you didn't react negatively. So do you believe that I have a guardian angel? Do you believe that angels exist?"

"Yes, Of course, I do! Because I am an angel too," Eros promptly responded, without thinking much. It was a slip of the tongue.

Selene arched her eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Eros realized his mistake so he chuckled while scratching his face. 

'Dumb, Eros. Are you giving out your identity sooner?' He scolded himself inwardly.
