10 - Cupid

Eager for what I’m hoping will happen with Peit tonight, I rush through my last four assignments of the day, even managing to knock out several of tomorrow’s before coming back to the hotel. It’s barely ten, so I’m not as exhausted as I have been the past few nights. I know I should take some time to think over what happened with Eros earlier, but not now.

Now it’s all about Peit and me. Or at least I hope it is, I think to myself as I walk out of the elevator and turn toward my room. Just outside the door, I take a deep breath and use the key card to open it. When I do, I look around in awe. The light in the room is muted, with the only illumination coming from the moon outside the windows and lit candles scattered about the room. In the center of it all is a table that’s covered by a lace tablecloth. There are several covered platters and two buckets holding what appears to be only the best champagne, with crystal flutes next to it.

It’s all so… romantic. So much so it almost brings tears to my eyes.

I scan the room until I see Peitho standing a few feet away looking more nervous than I think I’ve ever seen him. He holds out a hand and I rush over to him, no longer nervous or fearing what will happen with Venus. As my arms wrap around him, the only thing I care about is this man right here.

“I can’t tell you how happy I am that you’re early,” he whispers against my hair. “Thankfully I was able to get everything together before you showed up.”

I look up at him and smile. “I was eager to get back.”

His cups my cheek with his palm, a sweet gesture that makes me feel all kinds of good inside. “Were you eager to see me, sweetheart?”

“Yes,” I breathe.

I stand on my toes and place a soft kiss on his lips, the first one I’ve initiated. When I pull back, I look into his eyes, seeing everything I want, have ever wanted, staring right back at me.

“There’s so much I need to tell you, Cupid,” he says as he moves his hand.

“There’s so much I need to tell you too, Peit,” I say with a smile.

He turns me toward the table. “First, we’re going to have a nice dinner, drink champagne, and celebrate us.”

I turn and look up at him. “Us?”

“Yes, sweetheart, us.”

In another romantic gesture, he pulls the chair out for me. I wait until he’s seated on the other side of the table and pouring champagne before asking what I’m dying to ask.

“And after dinner?”

He reaches across the table and takes one of my hands in his. “After dinner, I’m going to make love to you, something I’ve wanted to do since the day we met exactly two years ago today.”

I smile. “You remembered.”

“I did, but I was also reminded of the date by Aphrodite over dinner.
