The black Tundra followed her. It was with her as she ran all her errands. At the grocery store, she spotted Parker trying to look small. Unable to resist, she waited at the head of the aisle.
When he pushed his cart out, she turned, making an ‘O’ with her mouth. “I didn’t see you there.” Devi struggled to keep a straight face.
Parker flushed and rushed away without a word. She watched as he grabbed Allie’s arm and pulled her away down another aisle. Chuckling, Devi finished her shopping.
Later, as she unpacked her car, she could feel their eyes on her. With a shake of her head, she entered her apartment. A few trips to the car, and she had all her packages inside. She returned to the kitchen with the last set of bags, then stilled, watching the person before her. After she had caught her bearings, she placed the bags on the island and braced her hands on the top.
“What are you doing here?” she asked, more curious than anything else.
“Visiting a friend,” a velvety soft voice replied.
Amaunet raised the bottle of water to her full lips and took a drink, then returned it to the counter. Devi wasn’t sure what to make of her statement. Amaunet stood, gesturing for her to take a seat. Baffled, Devi sat. Amaunet moved around her kitchen, putting away the groceries, acting like she owned the place. Once she was done, Amaunet placed a bottle of water before Devi, then retook her seat. Devi opened it, drinking, watching the goddess.
“Have you come to terms with Rhodes?” It wasn’t an enquiry, but more of a demand for information.
Devi bristled, not saying a word.
“This is my lame way of making friends. Which I would enjoy, Renpet. I mean, Devi. You can call me Ashia. It is the name I choose while I am here in this world. I can see why so many of you have decided to make a residence here among the humans. They are fascinating—at least some of them.” Amaunet pursed her full lips.
“I still don’t get why you are here,” Devi said.
“Speaking with you the other day, I realised I was bored. Wanted a change of scenery, so I came here,” Amaunet said.
There was a loneliness in her voice. Devi studied the goddess. Although she wore a T-shirt that matched her green eyes and black jeans, she still radiated a regal air. Her long, dark brown hair with blonde highlights was pulled back into a ponytail that left her captivating, polished obsidian face prominently displayed. Once again, Devi was very aware of her beauty and femininity. Amaunet was only a little taller than her, yet she seemed to tower over her. She raised a heavily adorned hand and patted her confined hair.
“These garments are not what I am used to, but I like them. It will take some getting used to, though.” Amaunet smiled ruefully.
“What do you mean by ‘came here’?” Devi prodded.
“To this world. Colorado. Decided to settle here. Have set up a little ranch.
