As soon as they are inside the room, Jennet let go of his hand. Crossing arms across her chest, she glowered at him.
"Unbelievable!" She said with an angry tone.
Hue cowered and smiled sheepishly at her. Umm, should he snap his fingers to control her or undress her to make her forget about getting angry?
"You're creepy." She said, stating a truth, out of the blue.
Hue's smiley face turned gloomy. "I am not," He denied.
"I am adorable." He said, correcting her statement.
Jennet shook her head and said, "You are not adorable but creepy. You knew where I am. You see, this hotel is far from the city and also far from home but you managed to find me here. Did you by chance bugged me?" There was a twisted expression on her face.
She just can't believe that he would be able to locate her exact location. She thought he wouldn't know but he appeared in front of her. The man whom she now called as her husband is really a creepy person. He may be an experienced bugger.
"Well, it was just a hunch because I really miss you." He replied, "You know, telepathy between a very compatible couple." He added with wide smiles.
Jennet was even unhappy hearing his answer. His explanation sounds funny to her but at the same time not so funny for her burning heart.
She shook her head and waved her hand, dismissing her unhappy feeling, "Speaking about compatible, that Katerina Weiss, how did she knew you're here or rather, did you two promised to meet here? Trying to have some, I don't know, lovey-dovey 'fun' behind my back?" She asked.
In her sternness, there was jealousy moulded together in it. A fit of desperate jealousy from a tormented wife!
Hue gasped with excitement. "Have you finally paid attention to me now?"
For a moment, the overwhelming feeling he felt during the 'life and death' situation earlier, disappeared into a blink of an eye.
Jennet glared at him, grunting while at it, "I am serious here. I meant what I say just now."
Hue pouted. He slumped his bums onto one of the sofas and hug one pillow.
"Not telling you." He answered childishly and averted her stern gaze.
If his wife refused to acknowledge her own feelings towards him, then, he too, wouldn't reveal the truth to her. It's a good bargain of giving and takes. If she refused then, both party will suffer and he was prepared and willing to suffer together with her.
Jennet slouched and slapped her own forehead in frustration along with a sigh.
Why is he being difficult? She wanted to have a clear explanation because to accept him, she requires a great amount of honesty from him.
Hue peeked at her through the corner of his eyes. 'Refusing me, we will suffer together but accepting me, we will rejoice together.' He mumbled inwardly.
Jennet looked up to the ceiling, inhaling and exhaling a deep breath. Alright, she has to avoid getting angry for now. Yup, she has to stay calm and composed as always.
Jennet glanced at him and straighten her back, "Fine, I am admitting that I care a great deal about you. Okay, now your turn," She pointed at him, "you still have not explained to me about your identity. You said I have to learn to accept your difference and I am trying. So, you tell me now, what is your real identity?" She asked in a tone as calm as possible.
She had enough of his suspicious identity. He appeared out of nowhere, scared her out of her wit, making her insecure day and night with each and every decision she made.
Hub looked up to her, "You said you cared about me. Is there no love from you for me, for your pitiful and abandoned husband?" He asked, begging for her ultimate consolation.
"If you're honest with me then, I'll try to love you," Jennet replied.
Hue pouted even more. He stomped his feet continuously while crying out, "I don't want you to say you will try to love me. I want you to say you love me with all your heart. I also need you to be honest with me, not just me being honest. It's just unfair for me!"
Jennet bit her own lips, unable to utter a single word. She spun her body around with one hand on her hips and another one, covering her mouth.
Love him with all her heart? Will she able to say she loves him? Expressing her love will turn her into an entirely different person and will he loves her in return is he knows her true personality?
Well, she never had the gut to utter the three words to anyone before. She chose him out of goodwill and out of her own selfish desire to snatch the chance to try loving a man. But...
She turned around again, staring at him and asked, "Are you sure you really love me and not just my body? I am still feeling insecure even after what you had said last night."
"Was that the cause you ran away from home? I am your husband. Please just believe me. I really, really love you with all my heart. I am loyal and faithful only to you. Even that taxi driver asked me to marry his daughter but I refused. I only need you not another woman." He explained getting sentimental at the same time.
Jennet leant against the wall, looking at him with a sinister smile. She just heard a piece of import information from his explanation.
"So, you came here in a taxi? Where did you get the money to pay for the fee?" She asked. Her doubt built up again.
He was so suspicious. He had no job and only knows to do house chores. But, he came to find her in a taxi. The fee might not be cheap considering the distance between the villa and the hotel.
Hue frowned, "Don't get the wrong idea, my love. That money was from the exchange of my power." He explained.
"What power?" She asked. Her tone was low and cold. She was mentally prepared to listen to his answer.
"The power to tra..." Hue paused and then realised that he had fallen into her sly trick. He was so mad and was not aware that he had just leaked a piece of his little secret.
Jennet inhaled another deep breath. She took a seat on one of the sofas opposite him.
Staring into his beautiful jade-blue eyes, she said, "See, even you are trying to be secretive with me. If you're going to be secretive and so will I. But, if you didn't want to, then, today, let's clear all the insecurity and doubts that we have between us."
Hue smiled at her. That was what he had been waiting for. It was a good thing that she asked for it first.
He stood up and sat beside her. He hovered over her, creating a massive barricade before her with his body. His hair fell to his side and it tickled her exposed thighs as it fell on them since she was only in a bathrobe. His nice scent enveloped her from one side to the other.
He asked her in a mellow tone, "Will you freak out after knowing the truth of my identity? Will you stay away from me once you knew who I am? Will you scorn upon me for who I am?" His eyes roamed her entire face, admiring its cuteness to the fullest.
Jennet stared back at him, "Last night, I did say that I want you to prove it that choosing you is not a wrong choice. So, you have to make me believe in you for the choice I made." She said, more like a challenge. There was no restraint in her tone but she sounded calm as the ocean.
Hue chuckled. His naughty thoughts say to pounce on her for her bravery to challenge him. Her calmness made him itching to bully her. He wanted her to be submissive like last night and wanted to claim authority over her. But, here she is, staring dagger at him, asking him to prove his worth to her.
"My love, you made me want to pounce on you so badly. I just felt lazy to tell you about my identity." He confessed and slumps his upper body over her thighs. He pressed his face against her skin, inhaling the scent of her body.
Jennet trembled. The way he smelt her, plus, his face was close to her private area and it made her face turned red.
On reflex, she pushed his body away from her. The poor man rolled down the sofa and sprawled on the floor.
Groaning in pain, he cried, "Why do you have to be so rough with me? I mean you no harm but if I did harm you, it will be in a good kind of 'harm'." He added, saying something naughty again.
Jennet stood up and wanted to stomp on his stomach but then, the man below her rolled his eyes bigger, staring under her bathrobe.
"Nice…" He whispered with a smile. His perverted mind overpowered his sense of sensibility. He was in the oblivion of the anger that was accumulating inside Jennet's heart.
Jennet bit her lips and kicked between his thighs, the area that hurts the most. There was an off sound made by her kick.
As if there were electric current surge through Hue's veins, he wailed out loudly in pain while holding his painful part. His body curved inward as he rolled here and there in extreme pain.
Jennet smiled in victory. She felt a sense of accomplishment in her action.
She sat on the sofa, crossed legged. "You won't die from that kind of kick. I kicked just the tip of your 'hose'. Your balls are spared. Rest assured. You still can impregnate women afterwards." She said, looking carefree.
"I just want to impregnate you!" Hue cried from the floor. His face was drenched in the colour of red because of the immense pain.
He curved his body again and cried out loud, "Gosh, you just killed our children!" He said and rolled again on the floor.
Jennet ignored the cries and looked away from staring at the groaning man which she found hilarious at the moment.
She felt guilty for kicking him but at the same time, she felt he deserved it because he was never serious in answering her questions. So, that was his punishment for always thinking of doing perverted things to her.
"Just answer me honestly. Tell me of your real identity." Jennet kept pestering him to answer her question from earlier.
Hue rolled over and gazed upon her face. "I am not a human." He answered, straight to the point.
Jennet was in a moment of silence. Strangely, she didn't falter or shivered nor did she laugh after hearing his answer.
She was calm as if she had expected he would answer that way. Hue found her to be so odd but in a nice term of odd.
"What are you then if you are not a human?" She asked, startling the man.
Hue frowned at her. "You're not scared of me?" He asked, wanting a confirmation.
"Should I be?" She asked instead, sounded nonchalant.
Hue became even confused after listening to her question. 'Should I be?'
That was an odd question and something that was not in his expectations. He had expected her to break down in fear but it was the opposite of it. She was so damn calm!
Jennet looked back at him, "Just tell me what kind of other being are you? If you're not a human, then, are you a ghost, a fairy, a shapeshifter or a demon?"
"I am neither of them," Hue responded calmly. His face turned gloomy because she didn't mention the other being, the Deities.
Jennet inhaled a deep breath. "Then, I guess, you are the God of Pervert." She made her conclusion and rose from the sofa. She headed for the wardrobe and took out a set of clothes.
Hue's face turned darker. Really? Is that what you think of me? God of Pervert?
Hue rose from the floor, limping as he walked towards the bed and sat down with ease as his bums submerged in it.
"I am God of Comfort, just so you know." He explained and looked down his torso, caressing the affected 'area' with great care. It hurts like hell and he felt he was about to be sent to the Underworld.
Jennet froze and her hands stopped going through her clothes. She glanced from over her shoulder. He wasn't aware of her stare.
'He is a God of Comfort?'
There was familiarity in the feeling she felt but at the same time, it just felt surreal.
'Have I heard of this identity before?' She mumbled deep within.
Hue raised his head, "Love, did you say something in my head just now? Sorry, I was paying attention to saving our children." He said with an innocent smile while pointing down his torso. He had no time to get angry at her for her action.
Shortly after that, he asked, "Can you repeat what you had just said?"
Jennet shook her head, "No, I didn't say anything. You must have heard wrongly." She answered with a shook on her head.
Then, she vanished into the bathroom with her clothes to change in to. At the same time, she was hiding the facts that her heart was beating in frenzy.
