It's already been two days and Damon is obviously avoiding me. He's not eating with us but as per Liam, Damon asked him to prepare bigger portion of food than before. Even Liam and Johan are confused with Damon's behavior. I kept on asking them but they insist they don't have an idea what's on Damon's head.
The Gatori Cafe is still back on business. I'm still not fired but similar to my first weeks here, everyone's gazes are on me. Whispers and curiosity. "Why is it me that get to take Damon's first time?" I'm pretty sure that's what's on their mind. One of the curious eyes, is from a familiar face.
Since the register is not really busy at the moment and Johan is about to serve his order, I decided to volunteer.
"Johan, if that's for that table, can I serve it instead?"
"But...." Johan's eyes landed from me to Damon's station. I also turned around and saw Damon glaring at us. When he realized I was looking, he averted his gaze back to his coffee.
"Don't worry I know him. And with Damon glaring at me all the time, I'm pretty sure no one would dare to make a scene."
Johan decided to trust me and I approached the customer who is still glaring at me.
"Here's your order Gael. I thought you're not allowed to be here." He just keeps on glaring at me. I'm not suprised.
" And I thought you said you'll never sleep with Sir Damon?!"
I hurriedly covered his mouth and sat across him.
"Shhh.... Don't be so loud?" We started whisphering while leaning near each other. "So it is true that news spread fast here."
"Of course, and remember I am a messenger . So I'll be the one to know first. And why are we even whispering? Everyone already knows."
"Just ..... bear with me. And they don't even know the full details."
"Prince Asmo drugged you with Pheros. Everyone knows what Pheros is and He left you and Sir Damon alone in a room. What more details do we have to know?"
"We... didn't... have.. sex" I mumbled.
"What?"
"We didn't have sex."
"That's impossible everyone at the Kingdom of lust confirmed the lost of Sir Damon's and even your virginity. "
"He did put it in but that's all."
"Then that's sex. Gosh. I don't get the minds of a virgin."
"Sex includes moving and stuff and also... when they have feelings for each other, which we never had."
"Yes. Sex does include moving and No they don't have to have feelings for each other. In purgatory, almost everyone have sex. It's even the normal activity at level 7 and they don't have feelings for each other. Only you and Sir Damon believes about mutual feelings for sex. This is why you both are virgins until recently. But don't get me wrong, Sir Damon definitely has no feeling for you. He just had no choice at the time."
"I am fully aware. It's just part of his duties."
"Good. But... what do you mean about moving and stuff? Tell me what happened. How was sir Damon in be...?"
A glass of coffee slammed on our table. We both looked up and saw Damon.
"Remember your purpose Gael." We both straightened up and looked at the back of Damon while walking away.
"What does he mean?"
"Well you were right, about how I am not allowed to be here until recently. Sir Damon, personally asked that I become part of the cafe."
"What? Why?"
"Well, maybe after your night together. He must've realized something."
What's happening? Do Liam and Johan know about this? I'm sure Damon knows how Gael sees him. Our accomodation only has four rooms. Where will Gael sleep? Don't tell me, is he gonna share a room with Damon? Does he want to sleep with Gael?
I looked at Damon and caught him glaring at me. I really can't understand him. Or does this glaring mean that I should stay away from Gael? That I should keep quiet about our night so Gael wouldn't have an idea what's coming for him?
"Wait Gael, you said you're the youngest Angel of Death, right? How old are you?"
"15. I know you're older than me but that doesn't mean your higher than me."
That bastard! I can't believe I almost fell for him. Now I get it! Why he was protecting his virginity. He was waiting for this boy to be of legal age. He wants this boy to be his first. Wow! What do I expect from someone from the purgatory. And since he got a taste of pleasure, he wants to do it with Gael now.
...
Our shift at the cafe ended. Gael came home with us. Damon announced that starting tomorrow, Gael will work with us at the cafe and mostly helping me with register works. Hiss true intentions are showing. He's planning to discard me since I already have no use for him.
I looked at him at his eyes which again, he averted. Sign of guilt. Surprised he even has one. I raised my hand to ask a question.
"Since Gael is still 15. Wouldn't it be against the law to hire a MINOR?"
"We don't have that kind of law." Gael answered.
"But... it's still wrong to make a child do work"
"I am not a child and I am already working as a messenger."
"Enough of that. If Gael is okay with it, I don't see any problems." Damon stated.
"But why do we need another manpower? We already have 4 of us?" Johan asked.
Damon sighed and explained. "The truth is ... in three weeks, Eugene will not be working with us anymore."
"WHAT!?" We collectively asked.
"Don't I have a say on this?" I asked.
"I believe it's for the best." Damon answered.
"Wait Damon, isn't this too sudden?" Liam asked.
I was right. Damon is really intending to discard me. Was it because I lost my worth? Or...
"Is it because of what the Supreme leader said? Was that why you were fattening me up so you can sell me? How much am I?" I can't help but cry. Johan approached me.
"I'm pretty sure this is just a misunderstanding. Right Damon?"
I really thought that this place is my new life. A place where I am welcome. I am never wanted. Neither in the human world nor in the purgatory. And now, the only person I decided to trust is selling me as a slave.
I am starting to feel weak. My knees collapsed and causing me to sit at the floor. Damon hurriedly approached me.
"Are you okay? Please stop crying..... This will be bad for our baby."
"Huh?" Everyone is confused with what Damon said. I even stopped crying. Am I hearing it right? Did he say, our baby?
"What do you mean? We don't have a baby?"
