Chapter 102 - A Gay Friend

"Are you… Gabriel, right?" Renz asked Eros.

"Yes, I am!" Eros proudly responded to Renz.

Selene turned around, looking dagger at Eros. 'What the hell is he doing here? I told him not to go out of my room. But he didn't listen!'

Selene was cursing Gabriel in her mind. She wanted to kick and beat him for not doing what he was told.

"Oh Gabriel, you are here so early. Come and join us for breakfast," Grandma Elysa invited him.

"Thanks, grandma," Eros smiled at Grandma Elysa tenderly before walking over. 

He chose to sit next to Grandma Elysa because Selene looked like she was about to kill him once he got near her. 

Fortunately, Grandma Elysa only thought that Eros visited them so early. She had no idea that he was there at the house the whole night.

Meanwhile, Renz was just observing Eros silently. Selene noticed Renz's action. For some unknown reason, Selene became anxious. What if Renz would misunderstand her relationship with Gabriel? She had to do something about it.

'Just you wait, Gabriel! After this breakfast, I will talk to you,' Selene gave him a warning look.

Eros just feigned ignorance. He just focused on entertaining Grandma Elysa.

"Selene, have you introduced them to each other?" Grandma Elysa asked her. She was referring to Eros and Renz.

"Oh right. I almost forgot about it, grandma. Thanks for reminding me."

With that, Selene introduced the two men to each other for formality. They already knew each other. Selene was always mentioning Gabriel to Renz and Renz to Gabriel. Eros knew Renz as her fiancee while Renz knew Gabriel as Selene's friend.

But Selene didn't know what had gotten into her when she added one sentence while introducing Eros to Renz.

"By the way, he is my gay friend!" Selene declared to them, giving Eros a great shock in his entire cupid life.

'GAY FRIEND?! Are you kidding me, Selene?!!' Eros narrowed his eyes at Selene, giving her a deathly glare.

'How dare she calls a 'handsome me' Gay? I am very masculine! More masculine than her fiancee, Renz!!!' Eros could hardly believe it. Selene had once again hurt his man's ego today.

Grandma Elysa also didn't expect her last words. She really thought Eros was a straight man. Many girls would be disappointed if they heard this. That's what she was thinking at that moment.

On the other hand, Eros tried his best to control his emotions. After taking a deep breath, Eros regained his composure.

Then he turned to Renz, smiling at him sweetly as if he was a girl who had a crush on him. Since Selene called him gay, he would play along with her.

"Mr. Chou, Selene is always mentioning you to me. Wow, I didn't know that you are too handsome in person. You are totally my type!"

Grandma Elysa: "..." *Turning to Eros with wide eyes**

Renz: *Speechless, just smiling awkwardly**

Selene: "??!!" *Giving Eros a deathly glare**

In Selene's mind, she was already thinking about lots of ways to torture him to death.

On the other hand, seeing the different expressions of the three people in the dining area, Eros burst out laughing before taking his words back.

He was satisfied because he got even with Selene. Now, she looked so pissed.

"I'm just kidding. Why is everyone taking my words seriously? By the way, can I join you next week going to Oceaniz City? I will be Grandma Elysa's private nurse by that time. So does it mean can I come with you?"

Eros was eyeing Grandma Elysa with his puppy-dog eye look. He was using his charm to get what he wanted. He would like to come with Selene as Gabriel, not as her cupid.

"Of course, you can, dear! The more the merrier!" Grandma Elysa allowed Eros to join them without even consulting Renz and Selene.

Selene raised her eyebrow, looking at Eros suspiciously. She had a bad feeling about this, spending time together with Renz and Gabriel in one beach resort. 

The photoshoot would last for three days so they had to stay in the beach resort for three days as well. Since Grandma Elysa already agreed, Renz and Selene had no objection at all.

At least, someone would entertain grandma Elysa if ever Renz and Selene would become busy with their prenup photoshoot.

After finalizing their plan, the four of them continued eating their breakfast. A few minutes later, they finished all the food brought by Renz. 

Eros helped Selene in washing the dishes while Grandma Elysa entertained Renz in the living room. Renz also wanted to help her but Selene refused. She couldn't allow Renz to wash the dishes while he was wearing his corporate suit.

Eros grabbed the chance that they were now alone in the kitchen to confront Selene. She was also thinking about the same thing. She wanted to scold Eros for not listening to her.

Both of them were facing the sink and holding the plates when Selene started the conversation first.

"What are you thinking? I told you not to leave my room. But you didn't listen! We almost got caught!" 

Eros smirked at her cheekily and leaned over to whisper in her ears. "Got caught about what? For kissing or for sleeping together?" Eros decided to tease her.

"Aww!" His last remarks garnered a strong kick from Selene. She kicked his leg.

"Don't ever mention about the kiss! It's just a one-time kiss. Just forget about it. Just think of it as a friendly kiss!"

"Hmm, a friendly kiss? Well, I like that. So can I kiss you again?" he shamelessly asked Selene.

Selene: "..."

"We are friends after all. A friend kissing a friend is just normal nowadays!" he added.

Selene was already blushing because of Eros's remarks. She tried to kick his foot again but Eros was able to dodge this time.

"Oops, stop kicking me, Selene, or else this gay friend of yours will kiss you again!" Eros warned her with a mischievous smirk playing across his face.

Then Eros suddenly cornered her in the sink, invading Selene's personal space. She was caught off guard when Eros suddenly moved closer to her, trapping her using both hands.

She placed her hands on his chest, pushing him away from her body. But Eros didn't even move a step back.

"Hey, move away from me. Renz and Grandma might see us here!"

Eros just raised his eyebrow. He wanted to punish and at the same time, tease her for what she had done a while ago, calling him gay.

"Hmm, Don't worry. They will not mind it even if they see us like this. Remember, you just told them that I am your… GAY friend!"

Selene regretted it. It looked like Gabriel was really upset when she said those things to Renz and her Grandma Elysa.

"Hey, Gab. Stop this already. I admit. It's my fault. I'm sorry. Don't be mad anymore. I didn't mean to call you that. It's just that I panicked. I don't want Renz to misunderstand our relationship." 

Selene apologized to him, hoping that Gabriel would stop doing this already. She somehow knew that he was trying to get even with her.

Eros just sighed deeply before moving away from her. He knew it. Selene did that because of Renz.
