When I woke up, there was a girl laying upon me. How I wished for that girl to be my Eve. But it didn't take me long to realize that she wasn't my Eve because she was much smaller than her. Much much smaller.

That baby was sleeping on top of me. Her hands were on either side of my chest. She was hugging me tightly with her little hands. The rest of the bed was empty. That girl could have slept off somewhere else on the bed. Why did she have to choose me as her personal bed? I thought about it for a while and in the end came to conclusion that she belonged to those minority of human babies who can feel the lifestream. They are drawn to the lifestream subconsciously like an ant is drawn to sugar. Though they forget this feeling as they grow up. It was my first time experiencing such humans myself from so close.

When I looked at her carefully, I realized that she was a beauty. Little blonde hair and her nose was so small. She was really cute. I'd give her seven out of ten. She was good but she still paled in comparison to my angel.

She was the second person ever to hug me like that aside my angel but she had committed a mistake by making me a bed. I wanted to shake her so that she'll wake up and get off me. But as my hand touched her back, I felt she was oddly warm. She had fever.

My hand stopped in an instant. In my mind came a thought. A thought that one day I might have a daughter and she might be sick and she would hug me the same way that girl was hugging me and I'd hug my little girl back instead of pus.h.i.+ng her away. Fatherly instinct? Didn't knew I could have such instinct in me. Perhaps, I was changing. The presence of my Eve was really changing me for the better. I just wished that one day I would change back to the way my Eve wanted me to be.

I decided to heal that girl but before I could attempt that, someone opened the door to my room. It was a woman. She appeared to be in her thirties, probably. You can never judge a woman by looks. Her hair were blonde. I felt like I had seen her before somewhere but I couldn't remember where.

I quickly checked for her origins. I was afraid thar she might be a devil. After all, they're quite good as disguising as humans. I was weak and in deep sleep last night. I had only placed one barrier around the house long ago that was breakable with force. I was relieved to find out that she was a genuine human. She stared at me for a while before speaking up.

"Who the h.e.l.l are you?" she said loudly.

I wanted to ask her the same but if I did, I'd have woken up that girl. Couldn't that lady see the girl was sleeping.

"Shh." I told her to keep her voice down. She looked at the sleeping girl and I was glad she stayed silent. My Eve soon followed that lady.

"I'm her husband." I replied in a low voice and pointed at my Eve.

"Eh..." She exclaimed turned her head towards my Eve. She stared at her in disbelief. The look on her face was funny. The look on my Eve's face was even funnier. She was gawking while looking at me. Her eyes were open wide.

"Black!" she said. The expression on her face was so cute. I couldn't help myself from smiling at her expression. The sight in front of me was imprinted on my heart like a photograph. I wouldn't forget that in a million years.

That lady laughed along with me at her reaction. Eve wasn't wary of that lady so it was easy to figure out that she was some relative of Eve. The girl sleeping on top of me must be that lady's daughter, I could see their similarity. It didn't look like I'd be able to use heal on that girl. Heal always makes the body glow. Though the glow is faint, it's still visible. And I'd prefer to not tell that lady of my origins. I didn't want her to suffer anymore and so I decided with the other approach.

"Wifey. Bring me the medicine box. She has fever." I patted the head of that girl. My Eve looked at us for a while. Though it was little but I could really sense jealousy in her eyes. I'd be jealous too if I see someone hugging her. Our eyes met for a second and then my eve quietly walked downstairs soon, with her red face, both from embarra.s.sment and jealousy. She was too innocent.

'Even more innocent than you little girl' I thought as I looked at her.

That lady walked from the doorway towards me and slowly tried to pick up the girl. "Come to mama, Luna dear," she said. But that little girl didn't let go of me.

"I'm sorry. She doesn't usually do that," the lady apologized.

"It's alright. She has a beautiful name."

I placed a pillow behind me and leaned against the wall behind in a half sitting and half laying position. That lady helped me in covering us both with the blankets. Luna had pushed blanket away before I woke up. By that time, my Eve was back. She gave me the box of medicines and sat beside me, inside the blanket while that lady sat on the side of the bed.

"Jealous of a three year old," I whispered in her ears.

"Just shut up idiot."

I didn't know a thing about medicine. I never had to use one. I had asked for medicine to prepare for my deception. I randomly chose a tablet.

"Are you a doctor?" the lady asked.

"You can say that." I replied and fed that girl the tablet. In reality, I stored that tablet inside s.p.a.ce zero and created a little pure concentrated lifestream that has healing properties and fed her the same. The lifestream will heal from inside out and it won't show any sign. I gave her little water from the gla.s.s nearby to complete my deception.

"Aren't you too young to be a doctor?" that lady asked again. She sure was perceptive.

"I had just started my practice a while ago," I replied.

"That's nice... By the way Eve, is he your long lost sibling or something?" she asked while looking at my Eve.

"No way! Why would you even think that?" she said all fl.u.s.tered.

"You two are really... How do I explain? You look so pretty as if you're out of this world and so does he. Both of you have same silver white hair not everyone possess. You both appear so similar."

"We aren't related."

"I hope so," I said and eve looked at me. Her eyebrows flexed as if asking me why I'd say that.

"I never met my parents and we don't know who were yours. Soo..." I whispered.

"You mean..." her mouth opened once again in shock. It was fun to tease her.

"Just kidding. We aren't."

"You such a big jerk!" she said and hit my arm lightly. I barely felt it.

"You two sure get along well," that lady said and smiled.

"Sorry for late introduction. This idiot is my Black. And Black she is my aunt, Emilia."

"Your Black?"

"Yeah." she replied not even knowing she had referred to me as her possession. I loved it when she called me her Black.

"Now it makes sense why you looked so familiar. Nice to meet you, mother-in-law," I said. She looked similar to Eve's mother. Almost as if they were twins.

"Mother-in-law?" Eve looked towards me again with raised eyebrows and slightly tilted head.

"Nice to meet you too, son-in-law,"and when she said those words to tease Eve with me, I just knew I'd get along well with her. "Sorry for intruding in your room. I just panicked when I couldn't find Luna downstairs. Didn't expect anyone to be here."

"It's alright."

"Stop ignoring me." my Eve said pulled my cheeks lightly. She was behaving much cuter than ever before. I wondered if it was the after effect of our little date. I felt closer to her.

"It's is a surprise for me. I've never seen Eve interested in anyone or even planning to date. How long have you two been together?"

"A few weeks." Eve replied.

"Just what kind of magician is he. To steal heart away from the the untouchable queen."

"He's one h.e.l.l of a magician. Show her your magic too sometime." Eve said referring to the tricked I pulled off using my abilities before. I could show magic tricks to Ms Emilia but I just have to be a little more careful so that I don't blow my cover.

"It better be not any hypnosis or you're dead." I couldn't help but laugh upon hearing one more person threatening me.

"Don't threaten him. He's quiet dangerous. He got connections in underworld." She defended me. I am the strongest but still Eve always tries to defend and protect me everytime. It always feels heartwarming to know that there is this person that lets me be weak.

I looked at my Eve. She was talking with my future mother-in-law. The words fell on my ears but my brain refused to decipher them. All it wanted was to do is to remember the way her lips curl in a smile everytime, the way her eyes s.h.i.+ne with light that originated from deep within her soul, the way some of her hair escape the bunch and come on her face and she gently pushes them back behind her ears and the way here cheeks constantly stay red like strawberries.

I don't know why but I saw a vision of the wilds. The place I used to call my home where I spent my childhood. I remembered that once mother said that one day I'll have a new home which will be far better than this one. I didn't believe her, like always. The vision disappeared and in front of me was my Eve. I realized that she was my home, my family.

I was so overwhelmed by all of the emotions that I felt like crying again. All I wanted was to give her a tight hug and just kiss her. And I remembered something. I was glad that my head and heart never disappoint me.

"Wifey," I said and she turned her head towards me.

I didn't waste any time in locking my target. Then I closed my eyes and kissed her right on her lips. I placed my right hand on her face. I kissed as pa.s.sionately as I could. She didn't resist. Not even a slight. When I want to tell about my feelings, words fail me. But I realized that kissing is a quicker way to communicate. We connect to a deeper level and I can pour as much of my feelings as I want to. All that existed at that moment was me and her and our bare souls.

I move back after a while. My eyes opened and I was looking right in her eyes. Her eyes weren't asking me any questions. They were just surprised.

"We're even now. Two each," I said reminding her of the stolen kisses. My Eve just stared at me with dumbfounded face.

"Guys... Um shall I go down so that you can make out in peace?"
