" Don't take his side amelia." The voice sounded exactly like Amelia's, But a bit flat. Showing no opinion or expression.
And soon the owner of voice came out shop, Her appearance exact same as Amelia and both even wore same clothes as of now.
Full length black maid gown with white apron, Hair tied behind in bun and even same accessories.
Ofcourse One glaring detail that made them seem apart were their eyes.
Their appearance were same as every vampire - Red iris, pitch black hair that contrasts with pale white skin.
And this two vampire girls were no exception to it, Though it did not make them any less beautiful.
Eren had seen a very small world, But one fact remained consistent even back then. Women were beautiful. Now that he looked at world a bit more, that fact remained unchanged.
This twin sisters seemed especially peerless. Round cute face, chubby cheeks with evenly proportioned body- neither too thick nor too thin- and their friendly nature added attractive charm.
They were beautiful and almost indistinguishable....Almost.
" Good morning amelia, Cecilia."
" Good morning Eren." Their voice syncronised in perfect synergy, It was cute and lethal, that made them even more mesmerizing but neither eren or sisters showed any surprise, it was just usual.
" Off to deliver lunch again."
Eren nodded with a chuckle, this schedule of his had become daily fun for this two girls as well. They knew it and they enjoyed Eren's painless torture.
" Those two, They don't give up do they." Amelia sounded little amused.
" Their amusement is slowly getting on my nerve you know or maybe it's not them.... " purposely he glanced sideways, before turning back to amelia.
" I head that handsome prick."
" You were meant to gay prick." vito's eyes twiched several time, His face looked as if he would burst with flame right now.
" Eren you can't call someone gay, That's uncivilized." Amelia sneaked a peek at vito before turning to eren and mumbled "Even if they are."
" Hey-"
" Okay vito, I apologise for my sisters harmless prank but keep calling him handsome, Maybe I'll seriously consider you gay.
Now amelia, We got work to do." Cecilia's words were like her tone, flat and unquestionable.
" Coming.. oh and eren,come by later, You know after delivering that lunch box. I'll teach you some new things."
" Sure but you do know that this will take time right?"
" Ofcourse, yesterday you returned at 5 PM and a day before that at 6PM.
That's perfect, That's when our shift ends as well." She was very well informed, Eren wasn't auspicious because what he was doing wasn't exactly a secret anyway.
Fairing his byes to amelia and cecilia, also a curt nod to vito, eren headed to Saint stark clinic.
It was marco's clinic.
And as one would guess, This tour had become somewhat regular for eren. Eren knew that Marco deliberately left his lunchbox home, so that eren would come and pay him a visit and as he did, Marco set him up on few another trips with strangers.
He wanted to be considerate, so he asked his patients to take eren along for a day, to show how their lives were coming around.
Eren wanted to refuse,
" This is for both of you, Eren you'll learn something new and while you're at it, you'll also be able to monitor Mr. Hans.
That will be great help to relive their stress even more" marco's world left no choice for eren, afterall mr. Hans was convinced and eren didn't wanted to appear inconsiderate so he went along with what Marco said.
He already had two full day duties, and to add insult to injuries. This little experiment of marco was part of discussion for few family friends as well, This family friends were none other than rhoades family and corleone family.
Amelia's and vito's family, Supposedly their fathers and Marco are great friends.
Eren didn't had that much difficult times in those experimentive tours but knowing that his suffering was enjoyed among group of friends, That sting.
Eren sighed again,
" Who will be today's guest of Honor.... " An unfortunate sigh left his lips again but by then he was already at clinic.
It was Shopping complex, Multiples shops side by sides and a shop named saint stark clinic was one of them, just ahead of him.
Pushing his reluctance and door aside, Eren entered the clinic. It was fairly small, reception and consultation room were partitioned by thin wall but Marco had spent quite a lot making it noice isolated.
And that was essential for patients privacy, though not many followed that rule.
There was a petite young vampire woman sitting on the reception deck, she was beautiful as well because she was a cultivator, Only red rank but still a cultivator.
Despite being a cultivator, she was working as receptionist with monthly wages. That itself spoke of increased population of cultivator, so much so that cultivators seeked mundane jobs.
At earlier period, empires seek out more numbers of cultivator and now that times had changed where they didn't lack them, they valued quality.
Lower ranked culivators were normal and common around here.
Their social standing, relations, income and even beauty were considered mid-range at best.
It was not they weren't valued by government and society, being a cultivator still made them more reliable than mundane peoples afterall, but financially they weren't any different than average mundane humans or asuras.
They simply failed to compete against much stronger cultivators.
Eren wasn't judging, in fact he was really surprised to know that red and orange rank cultivators were average at best around here, even though red rank possessed power to topple a heavy mobility vehicle with bare hands and orange rank rank was a huge level up on that.
' And this is average, Where the world has come to?'
" Good morning Mr.salvatore."
Eren smiled, hiding his thoughts well and replied " Good morning Ms. Nortan, You're as professional as the last time I saw you."
Ms. Nortan smiled politely, A practiced smiled that although seemed nice but wasn't real, that was how receptionist always behaved before customer.
" Comes with the job Mr. Salvatore."
Yes, she was very much professional.
" This just might be your lucky day Mr.Salvatore, because a breathtaking otherworldy beautyfull lady has just arrived." She glanced at her watch and subtle surprised expression appeared on her face,
" Look at that, it's already been 5 minutes so you're left with no choice as well but to agree of course if Young miss don't object." her smile looked trained for years yet it failed to hide smugness in this perticular moment, or maybe she purposely did just that.
For some reason eren felt annoyed.
" I suppose you won't take this lunch so that I can be on my way home without much trouble." Eren had experience.
Ms. Nortan connected a LAN without any reply,
" Yes sir, Mr. Salvatore is here to see you...yes...yes I'll send him in."
BEEP
The LAN disconnected, Ms. Nortan said nothing but her somewhat stoic but smug smiled said everything.
Eren didn't even get angry this time, he had done it and it did nothing except making him more angry.
Nothing to argue, Eren opened the door to the main office and walked in.
There he saw the man who annoyed him the most, sitting behind the table with goofy smile that irked eren and a black hair woman whose only back was visible.
' Great another vampire.'
" I brought your lunch Marco." Eren closed the door behind and put the lunchbox on table.
" Yes thank you Eren, Meet Ms. Agatha Lang. She was troubled by hoodlums so I had to intervene and thus ended up here in our little paradise.
So don't go telling your aunt jasmine that I'm roaming aston enchating women." Marco laughed but Ms.lang and eren showed no reason or maybe they both were just annoyed- their expression said so- And the mood turned awkward.
" Ms.lang, This is my nephew Eren, he's the one I was talking about." Ms. Lang didn't even smile as she gazed eren under her sharp black eyes.
Eren on the other hand was bewildered, because this was fourth time that he was peering on godly beauty.
First Alena, Second Natalie and third lily.
Even though the last one brought painful memories, she still instilled a unforgettable image in Eren's brain, first cause of her enchanting beauty and second because of her vile nature hidden under that facade of beauty.
But unlike lily, Gorgeous woman here seemed much more beautiful. Because she was literally way too much magnificent and because her expression were apparent, much real, unlike lily who hid everything behind a gentle smile or maybe she really genuinely smiled at his misery.
Eren didn't care anyway, Their nature was evil and that's what reflected them.
But beauty was also an aspect of life and ms. Lang was rich in that regard.
She had raven black hair, Sharp black eyes with long eyes lahes, Thin built hidden under casual white t-shirt, black jeans with leather black jacket on top and square shaped beautiful angelic face.
Ofcourse eren noticed further few details as well, like her Large sized boobs and Ass despite her thin built, But he wasn't complaining. She looked like an enchantress and not like made up doll with large boobs to attract swarm of men, Those proportion were more curvecious yet not at all unreal.
She was rarity even among diamonds, That made her hot as hell.
Just like any other boy or men, eren gawked even without realising as he admired her plump breasts.
That was another revelation eren had realised about himself, he loved beautiful women just like every other guy in the world and imagined much more unholy things, some willingly and some unwillingly.
But eren learned self control. He realised how vast self control really is, control over expression, control over eyes, control over every action, control over heart, control over words and last, control over What's in his pants.
He learned it, he had to.
Because Out of nowhere He was overwhelmed by sheer numbers of surrounding beauties, he didn't wanted to be in shoes of victim of widow from deity of crime.
So with much effort, Eren looked at Marco but not before glancing at her on last time.
She looked irritated.
' That's better.' thought eren.
" As you can see he's not native and wish to learn about this place, I hope you consider my request." And Marco remained unaware of her irritation.
' And this guy- just as always- doesn't get it.' Eren wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
" No I'm busy, Now can I go?"
" Please Ms.lang. You said it yourself that you're on a vacation so I'm sure you both will have fun exploring together."
" No-"
" Ms.lang I'm sure this is frustrating so how about I take you to coffee, I should atleast do that for inconvenience my uncle has caused you." Eren wittingly handled it with a gentle smile. Glancing at Marco, eren winked in way that was too smooth and imperceptible, but it was there and Marco noticed it as well.
' Is he telling me that, He'll handle this himself.'
Marco felt odd, It was good that eren was handling himself fine yet even pensive that he no longer needed his assistance.
Despite such odd inexplicable feelings, soft smile emerged on his charming face.
Is that how parents felt? Watching their child grow up.
But his thoughts came to halt hearing a deep sigh from woman sitting before him, She looked tired.
" Fine but make it quick." This time her eyes looked especially sharp, But if was also the first time she looked at eren directly and that made a statement in itself.
" Yes, with pleasure." Eren turned to Marco and smiled,
" Aunt jasmine said to finish lunch, It's your favourite but I'm sure you know since you forgot and all.
Now I'll be off Uncle marco."
Ms.Lang stood up, Ready to leave and eren opened the door for her to show courtesy that he knew, he never appreciated it yet presented anyway.
And walking behind Ms.lang, he left the clinic with subtle smile on his face, He wanted to make an appearance that looked pleased in company of fine beautiful woman, Not that he didn't really enjoy it but it's just that he never felt spark of excitement in anyone's company after Alena.
Which brought another thought,
' She's still not as beautiful as Alena, That might be the reason as well.' Why he didn't felt awkward and surprised by alluring gorgeous women.
But he wasn't saying any of that out loud, he knew the consequences.
Masking his thoughts Eren looked at her with smile, " My friend runs a cafe just ahead, Though I consider coffee quite a nuisance l hope atleast you like it and if not then something sweet might cheer you up.
So please bear with me till then, Ms.lang." Ms. Lang smiled to reciprocate his gentle considerating suggestion.
" You said your name was Eren?" She asked following to his side.
" Yes, Eren salvatore."
' Here it comes.'
" Are you really his nephew?"
' I knew it.'
For past few days he had multiple new life adventures and invaluable lessons in to lifeatyle of varied peoples or rather vampires, but one thing that didn't change was this skeptical but very pragmatic question.
" That depends on whether you can answer few of my questions as well."
he didn't sounded rhetorical, but it hinted slight arrogance. Maybe eren wanted to manifest that arrogant persona which she would hate and walk away. Without asking much of anything.
But unlike how he expected her to get even more angry, she chuckled.
" Why? Do you want something?" She was smart, Inside the clinic she looked annoyed but her expression changed largely. That's was smart, she was appearing beautiful outside where people noticed her.
" I might, Are you strong and wise?" He asked yet what he was thinking remained hidden in his skull.
Agatha glanced at him for few seconds before again setting her eyes in distant, " Yes though I do not want to embarrass myself with such arrogance." Her voice even, suppressing an action to curl her lips in grin.
" Strong, wise and beautiful. you really are something else." Eren smiled as he guided her further on the way.
On the other end, Ms.lang's expression hardened, " Are you hitting on me?"
Eren froze, only now he realised how misguided that compliment was.
" No, I said what I saw, ofcourse not to charm you Ms.lang but I do need your help with something that might be related in such condition."Eren cleared his smile of any misgivings and stopped at cerain shop.
It was cafe named 'snack'em up.'
Eren still couldn't get over that fact that someone named it so weird, On that note it sounded even more creepy but unlike it's name, it was one of the best cafe eren had experienced.
Bell rangg when eren opened the glass door and gestured Ms.lang to enter with polite smile, as she did eren followed her suit.
Eren even drew her chair, It just seemed appropriate and not just because he wanted something.
" Welcome to snack'em up cafe." Waiter oogled and not just him but most men did, as their eyes caught glimps of Agatha's beauty. Women too, At eren ofcourse.
" We would like to have two mocha and two cranberry pie please." Men forgot to breath for a second as they heard melodious voice even waiter who was supposed to take order.
Agatha ordered with flat out tone yet it made striking silence beat with raced hearts.
Eren couldn't help but chuckle, Somehow this looked familiar. It happened just like this to him as well.
But unlike jasmine who nearly snapped at female attended for unprofessional gazing on eren's beauty, eren was kind enough to wake the guy who oogled Agatha up with simple knocking on the table.
Waiter blushed as he hurridly ran back to kitchen and even though room became much more silent, awkward murmur lingered in the air.
" How did you know I like cranberry pie?"
" You seem like my kinda guy...." She lingered for few seconds to understand what she said, she didn't blush instead her face became even more calm as she cleared her throat and spoke again, " Sweet tooth like me, That's what I meant."
" I get it." Eren didn't like this one bit, It was cliche like how he knew from romance genre.
Though it looked beautiful on the television, being in such situation made him feel stupid and that was embarrassing.
" So what do you wanted to ask of me Eren." Agatha felt the same, she didn't like the awkward situation as well and changed the topic.
" I don't think it'll be appropriate, forget about it."
" Come on, don't be shy boy."
Eren fell silent for a thought and looked at her eyes,
" Where do I even start?, Let's see, That psychiatrist, My dear uncle Marco.
He's really not my uncle."
" Duhh..that's obvious."
" Yes but I don't have no relation whatsoever with this man or his family, yet..." Eren fell silent, worm of doubts crawled in heart.
Was it really okay to speak his mind to another stranger?
" Yet he treats me like a family." Eren looked at Agatha trying to understand how she perceived it but there was nothing, plain indifferent that hid everything underneath.
" This place, this life and even this new world, I knew nothing until he taught me all of it, He feeds me, buy me clothes, give me shelter and more than that he take cares of me, like right now. There is no need for him to purposely trying to get on nerve of patient by asking such ridiculous favour.
Yet he does." His words seem to run faster and faster with wariness in it.
" So what's the problem lucky guy?" there was no perticular interest in her question.
" Just that, am I really that lucky to have all of this?" Eren didn't expected any answer anymore anyway, she looked indifferent and that was answer in itself.
She thought, or rather studied Eren's face for a moment, just then
" Ahem... your order is Here Young master." There was a waitress now, who blushed to Eren's smile. She smiled pleasantly as she served the food on table gracefully, before turning back she looked at eren again. She gave him a big smile and spoke, " You're indeed lucky young master to have such gorgeous young lady by your side, but you shouldn't sell yourself short too. You're that much bewitchingly handsome.
That's my opinion anyway, Please enjoy the food." The young vampire dashed back into kitchen blushingly, leaving eren and Agatha both confused.
" What was that? Even eren didn't knew what she meant.
" Did she think that we're couple?" Her words stung eren with realisation, And with realisation came heartful laugh.
Eren couldn't control it,
" God knows how she reached that conclusion but it's really funny for once?" Eren chuckled even more, trying to suppress his laughter seeing Agatha's indifferent face that now showed some irritation.
" Why's that so funny?" She asked, Though not angrily but obviously with some authority.
Eren tried to stop but only when her glare seemed deadly that Eren's laughter died in his throat, he chuckled and answered,
" For one, She was like uncle Marco who imagined stories that were totally illogical just out of pure idiotic imagination.
And second, You should look at your face." Eren paused, Controlling his pace and smile.
" Your expression makes it impossible for anyone to look like your partner, obviously your choice but that stupid girl didn't notice it."
Agatha's expression changed even more, this time confused and surprised,
" Is there something wrong with my face?"
Eren thought for moment, observing as his eyes showed surprise on how she didn't understood what he meant.
" Drink your coffee, It's getting cold then I'll tell you." Eren took bite of cranberry pie as he spoke, smooth sweetness mixed with crunchy tart enveloped his taste buds, stimulating his ecstacy.
Seemingly lost in thought Agatha also felt compelled so try some after watching eren show expression of pure pleasure for something so simply sweet. To her surprise she couldn't feel what eren felt or maybe she already knew this was it.
" Don't like it?"
" No it's not like that?, But that aside you were saying?"
Eren took another big bite, Within few bites his cranberry pie was already gone and only remained crumbs stuck on his lips.
Looking at him right now, one would be surprised that such noble appearing boy lacks table manners, Agatha felt it too.
" If you're in hurry then you can go but if it's okay just let me finish my coffee."
" Why are you avoiding answering?" Her voice cold, Not angry but on verge of breaking out.
Eren didn't answer, His sorry face ignored her as he drank all mocha in one long sip.
He smiled as he put the cup back and stood up,
" That was delicious...I gotta wash my face, Hold on."
Agatha's face twitched in utter disbelief, but eren was gone from sight and there was nothing but wait.
Trying to the salvage the fiery emotions, she took another bite of pie and just like before, it tasted same, sweet and good but not Perticularly exquisite that would enlighten her taste buds.
Putting the spoon aside she took sip of mocha, And that came with surprise.
Unlike pie that was much too normal, mocha tasted electrifying. In reality, Mocha was never suppsed to taste bitter despite having coffee as an ingredient but this one tasted different, subtle bitterness that stimulated buds with first touch and with smooth texture of chocolatey cream left behind a bitter sweet mixture of cloudy smooth feel for savouring.
It felt amazing.
" How is mocha?" Her attention came to eren who was back and was sitting on his chair.
" Delicious, isn't it?
So much so that you didn't even notice me coming back." Agatha's face swelled red, but she knew how to hide it well.
" So what was I saying?, You're not a desirable partner Ms.agatha.
You are like that cranberry pie which is good, but that's all there is to it. It looks good at best and nowadays Good is not enough.
Be like mocha, sweet from inside." At that point even eren knew, He was beyond saving.
Running his mouth which he learned from Marco was very bad habit, As anyone would hate rude remark Agatha hated it as well.
Her expression cold, indifferent that veiled seething anger yet she sat motionless for moment. Eren saw it all, the subtle change that made it possible for him to know that his words had stung the target.
Agatha smiled darkly and pushed table away, her strength made it seem too easy as if pushing paper and slaping her hand on table with a large money bill, she stood up.
Her movements were slow, precise, graceful yet lonely as she walked out of cafe. Her Arrival as well as departure settled with an uncanny silence in room but unlike the entrance, now this silence felt unnerving.
Eren knew why, His action and Agatha's reaction said it all and that made him what people called, A villain, In public opinion ofcourse.
" Sir Would you like to make another order?" Eren didn't answer to the waitress who smiled ignorantly, or rather purposely remained ignorant.
Instead he looked at large bill, Something he saw only few times. It was thousand yon bill and it was way too much to be lying in table unattended.
Eren looked at waitress with a smile, he didn't care for what had happened now, besides he didn't feel guilty to begin with.
He had something else to take care of,
" I would like to make an extra large order."
