Chapter 219 - Eros Is Leaving??!

One day after Mother Angel Sienna received the message from Zaki, she sent Levi into the human world to summon Eros back to the Angel's Agape Realm.

Eros and Levi were now talking outside the balcony as Levi relayed the message of Sienna to Eros.

"Master Cupid, sorry for coming here unannounced! Mother Angel Sienna sent me to deliver a message." 

Levi was calling him Master Cupid because he was idolizing Eros. For him, Eros was his role model among all the cupids in the Angel's Agape Realm.

"What is it, Levi?" Eros asked him with intrigue.

"Master Cupid, I am not sure about the reason. But Mother Sienna said that you have to come back to the Angel's Agape Realm now. It is an urgent matter."

Eros didn't expect that his mother angel would summon him for some unknown reason.

'But I can't leave Selene here. Her life is in danger.' Eros thought to himself.

He was having conflicting thoughts right now.

"Levi, can't you tell me what is this all about? I can't leave at this moment. I'm on my mission," Eros said as an alibi since he didn't want to leave Selene.

"Don't worry about your mission. I can do it on your behalf. This is also another reason why Mother Sienna sent me here personally," Levi said, informing him.

"If you are worried about Zaki, I am also here to protect and watch over Selene," Levi added.

Eros frowned upon hearing that. He had a bad feeling about this. Why did Mother Angel Sienna pass his ongoing mission on Levi just to make sure he would go back to the Angel's Agape Realm?

"Master Cupid, Mother Sienna is waiting for you to come back. I think something is going on. When she gave me this task, Mother Sienna looked very serious. She was troubled by something. You must see her soon!"

Hearing the urgency in Levi's voice, Eros could only sigh in defeat. It seemed that their mother angel really required his presence. He had no choice but to follow her order.

"Okay. I will go back to the Angel's Agape Realm. But let me say goodbye to my human contractee first."

Levi just nodded his head in agreement.

"You can introduce me to her as well," Levi said enthusiastically.

Eros narrowed his eyes. He was still reluctant to leave. And now, he felt like he was being replaced by Levi as Selene's cupid.

"Just wait here. I will talk to her alone," Eros firmly said before going back to the house where Selene was.

Selene was in her room, making her school projects and reports. This would be her last requirement before the semester ends.

Then she heard a knocking sound outside her door.

"Come in…"

Eros entered her room with a gloomy expression. Selene stopped what she was doing when she saw Eros.

"Eros… do you need something? Are you alright? Why are you looking so down?" Selene asked him worriedly.

Eros traced his steps towards her. Upon reaching her spot, Eros sat down next to her, facing Selene.

"Selene… There is something I have to tell you."

"Okay… tell me," Selene softly said, checking Eros's expression.

"Selene, I'm gonna go back tonight to Angel's Agape Realm. Mother Angel Sienna summoned me. I have to leave you for now. And I don't know when I will be coming back here."

Selene was rendered speechless the moment she heard that. She felt like her heart was pricked by a sharp object.

'Eros is leaving??! He doesn't know when he will come back. But why?!'

"Is there something wrong in the Angel's Agape Realm, that's why Mother Sienna asked for your presence?" Selene asked Eros expectantly. 

"You are leaving now and you don't know when you are coming back?!" She sounded a little bit sad.

Seeing the dejected look on her face, Eros couldn't bring himself to leave her. But Mother Angel Sienna had already asked for his presence and the matter was so urgent.

Eros gently patted Selene's head before reassuring her that he would come back soon.

"Another cupid is here to take over my place while I am not around. I will introduce you to him."

Selene was surprised when Eros mentioned that another cupid would take over his place.

"Huh? Why is there another cupid? Does it mean Mother Angel Sienna is replacing you as my cupid?"

Selene didn't like this idea. She wanted Eros by her side, not another cupid.

Selene held Eros's arm tightly, afraid to let go of him. She was worried that Eros would no longer be her cupid.

Eros felt uneasy about this. But he had to trust his Mother Angel Sienna. Maybe she just sent Levi so that someone would protect Selene in his absence. It didn't mean he was being replaced by Levi.

Eros cupped her face. "Selene, don't worry. I am still your cupid. No one is replacing me."

Selene bobbed her head with tears threatening to fall. Just thinking about Eros leaving her was making her feel sad. She was used to seeing him every day. He was still there but she was already missing him.

"Hey, why are you giving me this sad face?" 

Eros couldn't stand seeing her like this. How could he leave her if she was looking so sad like this?

Without realizing it, Selene's tears already fell down from the corner of her eyes. Eros felt alarmed seeing her shed tears.

"Selene… why are you crying? Don't cry please."

Eros raised his hands, wiping tears on her face.

"I don't know why. I just feel that I will be missing you so much…"

Eros sighed helplessly before pulling her into his embrace. He wanted to comfort her. But deep inside, he also felt the same way.

"Shhh… don't cry, Selene. I'll be back. I promise."

Eros broke the hug and glanced at her face. He wanted to erase and kiss away her sadness. Without saying another word, Eros sealed his promise by kissing Selene's on her lips.

He gently kissed her passionately. This was the only way he could think of how to console both of them. 

His lips nibbled on her lower and upper lip alternately. He pried her mouth open and plunged his tongue inside her mouth. He wanted to taste her sweetness before leaving her tonight.

Selene gave him more access and welcomed his tongue with hers. Their tongues met each other inside her mouth, intertwining and fencing each other.

Eros caught her tongue, sucking and licking her with all his might. They deepened the kiss. Selene let him dominate her as she drowned herself in the sweetness of his kisses.

She anchored her arms around his neck, not allowing him to break the kiss yet. She wanted to kiss him more and stayed like this for a while.

Selene felt like she was sharing a goodbye kiss with her lover, not her cupid.

'Why? Why am I feeling like this? Did I already fall for Eros? Do I have feelings for him? What is this strong attraction that I can only feel towards him? Even with Renz, I couldn't feel this kind of feeling.'

Eros and Selene were being carried away by their feelings. No one wanted to stop kissing each other. If they would not stop at this moment, Levi might check on them and barge in.

Fortunately, Levi was still patiently waiting outside when Azrael arrived. He and Sach just came back after buying some midnight snacks in the nearest convenience store.

Azrael was surprised to see another cupid outside the balcony. It looked like he was waiting for Eros.

'What is he doing here?' Azrael pondered to himself.

"Sach, go onside first. I will just hang out here for a while," Azrael said, urging Sach to enter the house without him.

Sach didn't ask further as he continued walking towards the entrance door. When Sach disappeared from his sight, Azrael approached Levi to ask him the reason why he was there.

"You are a cupid, right? What are you doing here?" Azrael asked Levi.

"Eh, can you see me? But how?" Levi gasped in surprise.

He was bewildered when Azrael approached him. Azrael was in his current human form so Levi didn't notice that he was a grim reaper.

"I am Azrael, a grim reaper of the Eastern Gate. I am staying here with Eros for a while."

"Oh! No wonder you can see me. I'm Levi, a cupid from Angel's Agape Realm. Our Mother Angel sent me here."

Azrael's eyes lit up at the mention of Sienna.

"Sienna? Why did she send you?"

"She asked me to send a message to Eros. He is being summoned by our Mother Angel. He will go back to the Angel's Agape Realm tonight. He is just saying goodbye to his human contractee. I am here to replace him…"

Levi was not yet done completing his sentence when Azrael cut him off immediately.

"What? Eros is leaving?! But Why??! Why are you replacing him?!! Is he leaving me alone here? That's not fair!" 

Azrael even dropped the paper bag he was holding when he heard Levi's words.
