Tempting Fate

“You have a unique aura,” Jasmin said.

Emy looked over at Avery and Jasmin. “About what are you talking about? “I just showered.”

“You didn’t take a shower. You were watered.” With a wink, Jazmin said. Emy giggled.

“Looks like Sir Reed missed you a lot..” Emy heard Avery whisper.

“Stop it, you two.” At that moment, Emy’s face was red. “Hey, where’s Alex?”

“They both seem to eat when Sir Reed is in the kitchen,” Jasmin said.

“You guys? Have you eaten yet?”

“Yes, that’s it. Just let us take a shower, and then we’ll leave. We’ll go over there.” Avery said.

.....

“Is it true?”

“First, eat. “Let’s go take a shower.”

Emy smiled and went to the kitchen quickly. Alex and Reed were eating when he got there. They can now use the high chair they bought for their child. He kissed his son right away, who was happily eating by himself. The whole area will be seen to be a mess.

“The two of you are a mess.” As she kissed Alex on the cheek, Emy told Reed.

He sat down right away next to Alex. Alex is the messy one, not me. Reed laughed and said.

“I understand,” Amy said. He got up and walked to the fridge. There was nothing in the refrigerator. He looked again at Reed. “We need to go shopping for food.”

“Huh? We’re sold out?”

“Not too much,” Emy said.

“Let’s go outside now so Alex can take a walk,” Reed said.

“Then I’ll get his stuff ready and shower,” she said. Amy said.

“Do you want to hang out?” Reed smiled and said.

Who will keep an eye on Alex?

“Okay, first take a shower,” Reed said.

Emy smiled.

They went to the big mall with Avery and Jasmin to get groceries and take a walk. Reed’s friends were surprised to see Devin when he parked the car in the parking lot. Everyone got out of the car right away.

“What do they call people like you?” Reed asked. “Well, I did think about it. Stalker. You’re a stalker.”

Devin smirked. “I’m just anxious. Don’t forget that Prince Cedric is here and attacking random people.”

“Devin is right. We need help if that vampire is here. You and Avery can’t take him on by yourselves.” Amy said.

“I think you think I’m not as strong as I am, my queen,” Reed said.

“Miss Emy didn’t mean that, Sir,” Avery said. “Three people are with us. Alex is a person to me because we don’t know what he can do yet. If he has other people with him, one of Miss Emy, Alex, or Jasmin could get hurt.

“Yes, it’s better to have three heads than two,” Jasmin said.

Reed looked briefly at Devin, then back at Emy. “Fine. Let’s go...”

At the same time, everyone walked into the mall. Reed held Emy while she was between him and Devin. There are already a lot of people at the mall when it opens. Everyone immediately went to the grocery store and got a pushcart for their own things. Reed was shocked that even Devin took a cart.

When he got close to Devin, he asked, “What’s that for?” Emy was not far away from shopping when he carried Alex.

Devin smirked. “What’s more? I’ll go shopping too.”

Reed’s eyebrows went up. “Really?”

Devin was happy. “You know, I also know how to brush my teeth. Also, the body washes Dynhir gave me were nice. I would buy it because it smells good on my skin, and I also like Emy’s shampoo. I love the way her hair smells and...”

“What you want is up to you...” Reed said.

“Why don’t you try to make your husband see you as a person? Since birth, we have always known that we are demons, and there is nothing we can do to change that. Alex looks and smells like a person, so why can’t you?”

Reed didn’t answer. Rather than looking at the pushcart, he looked at Emy, but she wasn’t there. Reed made a face and turned around.

“Emy?” Reed asked Devin. Devin looked back to where Emy had been.

They looked.

On the other hand, Emy was already outside the store with the man she had just seen. He put his hand over her mouth and pulled her out of the store as fast as he could.

After he took his hand away from her mouth, he ran away quickly, but when he was right in front of him, it surprised him. He was so surprised that he almost fell, but the man caught him. The man is pretty, but his skin is pale, and his lips are red. His body makes him look like the ideal man. His heart was beating so hard, though.

He gave the man a push. “What’s going on? What do you do? Why did you take me out here?” Emy said to the man.

Emy saw the man smile, look around, and then he was gone.

“Your scent. Your smell differs from the smells of the other people in that building. “Are you aware of that?”

Emy turned around quickly when she heard the man speak in her ear. But it wasn’t behind her, so she turned around. Suddenly, it was in front of her again.

“Are you in search of me?” the man said, smiling.

“What do you do?” Amy spoke up.

“Hmm, Cedric, by the way.”

Emy looked sad. He had heard the name before, but he needed help remembering where.

“You? “What are you called?”

“My name is nothing. I’m leaving.” Emy quickly turned away from the man and ran back into the supermarket, but the man suddenly appeared before she could get close to the building.

“Hmm, young lady, I don’t think we’re done talking yet.”

“If you’re a demon interested in me, you should know that I have a wife and a child.”

The man looked sad. “Demon? So you’ve met people like me before?”

Emy was stunned for a moment when Devin told her about the memory.

“You’re Cedric?”

Cedric didn’t answer; he just smiled.
