Chapter: The Mysterious Gift of Hades

"Occupy your mind Nube, occupy your mind."

Just as he was busy, then I would be busy too. I got up to take a bath to see if the fire that was beginning to burn my head full of theories would go out.

How difficult it was to maintain a relationship when you were quarrelsome by nature and your boyfriend did not express himself.

"Remember his condition."

He is the love of your life, he will have an excuse and it better be a good one.

I got out of the shower wrapped in a towel, at least the shower had managed to relax me a lot, I approached the bed and looked at my phone when the screen lit up, I had a missed video call from Hades Parker.

Uhm, had he already given up being with that one?

Suddenly the apartment doorbell rang, my heart skipped a beat and I held my breath.

Hades?

I went to open the door almost running, I couldn't handle the excitement that he had come to see me.

"I thought the spaces..." I started to say but I stopped when I saw that it wasn't Hades, he was a man in uniform with a cap and a slight smile, he had Asian features.

"Delivery for Nube Queen." He said.

“Yes, thank you,” I said, feeling disappointment hit me and a lump forming in my throat.

It wasn't Hades.

He made me sign a paper and I took the order, it was a box.

"But from who...?" I asked, but the boy turned around and left.

Uhm.

I entered my room with the mystery box and placed it on the bed, I was going to start opening it when suddenly I saw that my phone rang with an incoming video call, I was very tempted to hang up or let it ring unattended when I saw what it was. from Hades Parker, but I had to remember that I had to be a mature woman and understand that Hades sometimes did things without the intention of hurting me, but rather his condition made him act in that indifferent and distant way.

He had improved a lot, but he still had those difficult attitudes.

I fixed my hair and put on my best angle to answer as if he wasn't screaming internally when his handsome face appeared, it seemed like he had also finished bathing and was now lying on his bed.

"Hello Miss Queen." he murmured, her deep voice made my skin crawl and I remembered how much I loved when he spoke to me in that soft way.

I loved the damn tone of his voice so much that he was able to break me and brighten my world with a single word.

I swallowed heavily and said:

"Hello Mr. Parker, can I offer you anything?"

"Why didn't you answer before?" He asked, his gaze on me through the screen still just as intense.

It would be easier to act strong if Hades were ugly, but he looked like a demigod descended from heaven.

"I thought we were respecting the spaces." I murmured with some irony.

He narrowed his eyes.

"You are angry?" He asked.

Of course I was but I didn't want to argue and swallowing my annoyance only made me more upset.

"I'm tired," I invented, "I'm going to sleep."

"OK." Hades said as always without understanding that she was actually angry and that's why I said that.

That he didn't insist on talking made me feel more upset.

...His condition...

This being evasive didn't work, I had to be more direct then.

"Okey?" I repeated incredulously, "You ignore me most of the week and expect me to be as if nothing had happened."

Hades raised an eyebrow and said:

"So... you're upset."

Of course, through a screen I couldn't analyze all my body language and analyze my reaction.

"Obviously," I said in a low voice, "why are you dating Professor Pompeye?"

He denied with his head.

"We're not dating." He said.

"The photo they sent me of the place where Saraelí works doesn't say that." I replied.

"Breathe Nube." He said, his calmness making me feel even more anxious.

"I don't want to. I don't want to see you with someone other than me." I refuted, feeling like a little girl demanding a toy and on the verge of crying.

Damn, I felt pathetic because of this jealousy that was eating away at me and making me sick.

"She hired me to be her lawyer and get her reinstated in the university"Hades explained, "it's the only job she has."

Uhm.

As I suspected, that is, I felt calmer but still had some discomfort.

"And you helped her." I completed and added sarcastically: "How sweet of you to help her."

"I'm not really interested in helping her," Hades said, "I'm motivated by my interests, reinstating her makes the rumor stop, plus she's paying me and money is the only thing that interests me."

"Ah, so money interests you more than me?" I blurted out resentfully.

Hades frowned.

"Nube, leave your jealousy aside," he said, "I met precisely at the place where Saraelí works so that she wouldn't be misunderstood; a public place."

I took a deep breath.

"I don't like you going out with her on dates." I said, lowering my intensity a little.

"A work date," she replied, "you know more than anyone that when I'm interested in someone I don't take them to a place as seedy as that place."

I pursed my lips because of how she expressed herself about Frank's, but I did know that Hades was very elegant, at least he took me to very nice places.

"Pompeye isn't even close to your height, bunny," he continued, "and I am completely yours, just as you are mine."

I felt my face flush and took a deep breath.

"Mmmh." I murmured, well, some of my annoyance had gone down a bit.

"I sent you something." Hades said.

I smiled a little seeing the box in front of me, and showed it to him on camera.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Open it." He said.

"Okay, okay," I murmured somewhat excitedly, I left the phone on the side of the bed and like a little girl receiving an unexpected gift, I opened the box and took out a somewhat long and not so thick device, the texture was soft like skin, I felt my cheeks blush when I understood from the pictures in the instructions what it was.

I showed the artifact to Hades who was watching me attentively from the screen of my phone, I felt completely confused.

"Is it a vibrator?" I asked incredulously.

"That I control." She said, showing me a control in her hand, "And that I would love to try it with you, if you allow me, now."

That he asked me such an indecent proposal in a gentlemanly manner made me laugh and at the same time I already felt horny.

I was perplexed and at the same time seduced by what Hades was proposing.

Phone sex.

I had never done it and the idea appealed to me.

Hades tugged at the corner of his lips, his eyes slightly darkening as he asked:

"You want to play with me?"

I licked my lips and murmured:

"Let's play."
