LOVER MONSTER!
66. Patience testing.

"Haaaa~"

Demian's breath was tired. The man who breezed side by side with the weight of his mind - in other words Erthian - was again forced to pay a visit to Elixir. Erthian forced to go to Elixir under the pretext of liking the breakfast menu there. He even told Demian that he would go alone if Demian did not want to take him there.

That fucker!

How could Demian possibly be willing to release Erthian alone to Elixir, who knew what kind of madness he would be in? Demian did not want her demon brother to come close to Jessica. Demian could've killed Erthian if the son of a bitch approached Jessica.

Anyway can't!

"Smile a little, Demian. Doesn't your boyfriend work here? What does he say later if he sees your scowling face? As a man, in addition to wealth, good looks are also a plus to consider." If Demian continues to put on an ugly and disheveled look, Angela can decide on Demian. That's what Erthian meant.

"Don't worry about my expression, damn it. If you want me to smile happily, you should have asked me to drive you to the airport today."

Seriously, when is Erthian here? He didn't intend to stay long in Vegas, did he? He shouldn't be traveling recklessly with the durability of a body as soft as that tissue.

"Let's see," said Erthian, "Every time you throw me home, I'll add to my three-day stay in Vegas, how about it?"

"What the fuck is that shit?"

"I'm tired of hearing you throw me out."

Erthian made Demian shut up.

Compared to Demian, Erthian was a more shrewd man in word play. He also knew how to defeat his sister in such a foolish debate just now. If Erthian had been able to love Demian with sincerity and reasonableness, Demian would probably have thought of the man as a pleasant brother.

Unfortunately, he's crazy.

"The hope is dataaang..." With a cheerful voice, Angela appeared from behind carrying a large tray containing a plate of banana pancakes, a cup of americano and a regular cup of black coffee.

Angela's friendliness treating her like a child made Erthian's expression change. Erthian tolerates the friendliness, but not the artificial (fake) familiarity that Angela is umbar.

"Good breakfast" Angela said. He glanced at Demian at a glance and his friendly smile slowly loosened bland.

"Demian, I'm back, '" said Angela.

Demian nodded without speaking.

After what happened last night, it was only natural that Angela became a bit awkward towards him. Recalling the situation as well.., Demian again let out a tired sigh.

Demian was so appreciative of Angela's help regarding Erthian, to be honest. Demian also thanked Angela for realizing and appreciating her existence so far.

However, even though they copied exchanging rewards, exchanging feelings was an impossible situation right now.

"I'm sorry Angela, I.e., for some reason of my own, can't make you my real lover. Because that position is only for the people I love, and now, my feelings for you are not like that."

Demian spoke with seriousness last night, and caution. Demian did not want to sound rude and mean to Angela. The girl was a precious figure to him, and just because Demian's feelings had already moved to Jessica, it didn't allow Demian to ignore Angela completely.

"You are now, in my heart, like a friend."

Fortunately, after expressing her heart to Angela with solemnity and sincerity, Angela accepted her words with open arms.

The girl instead says that Demian's feelings are not to blame, and she will still help Demian pretend to be a boyfriend in front of Erthian.

Angela is a really good girl.

While Erthian was eating his breakfast, Demian had unknowingly been resting his chin on the table. A pair of dark irises shone towards the bar table hollowed out by Jessica's whereabouts. His tumbens he wasn't there.

To Demian's knowledge, Angela is the type of girl who often wakes up early to help Ethan open the cafe. After that, he'll sit at the bar table there, sitting sweetly eating a plate of strawberry waffles.

"Welcome to Elixir," the voice of Dania who greeted the guest rang out to Demian's ears.

Since Elixir was quite leisurely this morning, a little noise became loud.

"Waaah, someone's changed looks, you're getting very handsome." Dania praised fully.

"Hahaha, I was just trying to wear a little pomade." that voice - if not for that voice - made Demian turn his head.

Jake Allendale entered the cafe, wearing a black shirt whose arms were rolled up to his elbows, black pants and shiny black loafer shoes. Her usual soft dangling hair, now being bombarded and restored, bared her forehead and forehead which made her even more dazzling.

"What's that son of a bitch doing here?" Demian without cause started cursing.

Erthian who was sitting opposite to him was astonished.

"You look like you're going on a date with your new look, I suspect you've come here with a specific purpose." Dania seduces Jake with a soft look.

"Where possible, I just want to have a quick coffee."

"Aww, don't be a minute. Stay longer, my boss will be down in a minute. He's bad luck today."

Dania-realizing Demian's sharp gaze-deliberately raised a topic that she knew would properly make Demian's brain boil.

"Waaaah. If Jessica sees your appearance, I'm afraid she'll fall in love."

"Ohoo, is that Jessica's boyfriend?" Erthian who was there also heard the praises of Dania. He threw a probing gaze towards Demian who was showing hatred.

"She's not Jessica's boyfriend," Demian dismisses Erthian's question with an intonation that implies disgust. How could that son of a bitch be Jessica's boyfriend. Demian would send the man to hell if the situation came to pass.

"Demian, are you and Jessica close?"

"What's with that stupid question?" Demian looked at Erthian, his blood boiling. If not for Erthian, Demian would not have needed to be in this crazy situation. He doesn't need to.., hold back!

"It's not stupid if it's the truth."

"The truth of my head." Demian snorted keki. "He's just the owner of this cafe. We may have talked a few times, but that doesn't mean we're close!"

The lie was painful for Demian. If you can, if Erthian isn't a demon twin, Demian wants the rest of the world to know that she and Jessica are very close. But that's an impossibility now. Demian didn't want to put Jessica in danger.

"If you're not close, why are you so angry at my question? No, you were mad when you saw the man just come."

"I'm not angry. I'm just a little irritated to see that bastard here."

"I didn't know that being annoyed in your dictionary was the equivalent of wanting to break someone else's neck."

"Stop interpreting my reactions excessively." Although Demian does not deny it, he does want to break Jake's neck now.

For the sake of not making Erthian draw any strange conclusions in his brain, Demian inevitably gave an additional explanation for his reaction just now.

"I don't like him because he's Angela's ex-boyfriend. She's already made Angela suffer, therefore, seeing her here makes me want to kill her."

"Kill it then."

"..."

"If Angela really loves you, you shouldn't put excessive aggravation on the man you deliberately let live. If he makes you angry, get rid of it. But you didn't get rid of him. Doesn't that mean you'll compensate for his existence? Even though it's annoying?"

"Shut up!" demian hatch. Hearing his mad brother speak, Demian recalled his reason for fleeing Italy. Seriously, Demian was grateful he didn't need to sink too deep into that gloomy life. Otherwise, he would probably have a mindset that was in line with Erthian.

Putting aside Erthian's deviant advice, now the figure Demian had sought had come. Jessica-with a grim look-down from her room. A black croptop was attached to his body, hanging low and showing off his stomach. Loose jeans in matching colors with his croptop, framing his small waist and tiered legs.

When he saw Jessica, a question stuck in Demian's mind just like that.

'Who taught Jessica that look?'

"Oh, oh, oh, Jesse, you're wearing the same color as Jake's, '" Dania reacted dramatically. "Is this what we call destiny?"

"What is destiny?" Jessica looked at her friend in amusement. Wasn't it just Dania who sent him a message and forced him to wear these clothes? Why was he acting like a caveman who had only seen fire for the first time?

"This is definitely a soul mate, I believe this is a soul mate! Yeah, right, Ethan?" Dania pulls Ethan into her play. Jake who was there-witnessing the hubbub of Dania-just flaunted a thin grin on his face. Jake doesn't mind.

"Good morning, Jesse." Jake greeted Jessica while waving his hand. "How are you today?"

"Good enough, I guess?" Crying all night means good. So Jessica felt pretty good today.

"It looks like my question is wrong, huh?" Without warning, Jake suddenly put his fingers on Jessica's face. He gently touched the black circumference that framed the pair of emerald irises. "It felt like I was last month."

"Are you insulting me now?" Jessica smiled wryly. Even then, even though Jake's hand was sweeping his cheek gently, Jessica did not give any reaction. Jessica's mind wasn't really there, she was still immersed in the bronze.

"You want to go out with me today?" Jake volunteered as solace.

Although Jake doesn't know what's going on with Jessica until the girl becomes grim, Jake feels now is a good opportunity to take a high point in Jessica's heart. Maybe he could make Jessica lulled over his attention and tenderness.

"I don't know, I just want to sleep all day today. I'm so tired and sleepy."

"Don't be like that, don't push me away." Jake's palm then anchored onto Jessica's shoulder. He gave a light squeeze there, solely for Jessica to notice his touch. "You've been helping me refresh all this time. So, let me overwrite AKH!!"

Plaque!!

An excruciating pain landed on Jake's back right after a hand swung and slapped him on the back with great force. The hitter, instead of feeling guilty, continued his act by anchoring his hand to Jake's head.

"Waaaahhh.., someone showed up with a new appearance here." Demian-as the suspect-randomizes Jake's chocolate mane with his hands. "What kind of "style is this? You're cooler with your previous hairstyle"

"Nakedown..." Jake becomes keki. "What are you doing here?"

Different from Demian who had been watching Jake from earlier with an eagle gaze, Jake only realized that Angela's tail was here. "Don't you have a life on the other side until I have to see you every time I come here?"

"Don't talk like that Jake, aren't we old friends? You should be happy to see me here." Demian then grabs Jake's hand which had touched his Jessica. He stared at Jake's fingers with a shadow that he broke everything.

"I seem to have given you a warning not to play around here, what happened? Are your ears not working?"

Demian was ready to rip Jake's mouth off right then and there. The anger gathered on his head was worth boiling lava.

"I invited her here" said Jessica, not Demian anticipation at all. Demian immediately turned to stare at the pair of shady emerald.

"Jake is my guest, if you mind seeing him here. I suggest you go."
