Part 9 - Deacon
Ari ReynolsI'm so sorry this took so long. My entire family and I had COVID but it hit us one at a time so I was at home for 8 weeks total because we struggled to get cleared. Stay safe and remember to mask up at all times. All my love!!

The weekend couldn't come fast enough. I was getting anxious and worried. I hadn't eaten all day I was so nervous. School was letting out in 20 minutes and the kids in this class were working in groups for the last few minutes of class. It was the 4 day weekend and no one wanted to do anything. The kids didn't even want to write a paragraph let alone listen to me drone on about a new civilization. The bell ring making me jump and the entire classroom erupted in cheers as they all ran out the door. Thank God that was over. I thought to myself. I grabbed my bag and threw it over my shoulder and finally walked out of the classroom. I refused to take papers with me this weekend to grade. I needed this weekend with Deacon. I had packed and repacked since he left yesterday. The ride home was even a blur. I had even ignored my phone as it dinged with texts and a few phone calls. I pulled up in my little drive way and someone clearing their throat near me broke me from my thoughts.

She was in my arms and our day was going perfect. Our breakfast had been like our souls joining even more and then our walk back when she laughed and smiled up at me. The sun hitting her dark brown hair giving the illusion it had red streaks. Her freckles standing out even more on her cheeks and across her nose. Small freckles on her shoulders and trailing down her arms. We had sat outside at breakfast and shared our food in silence yet again. She shared her comments with me about people passing by or the birds in the air. But I couldn't care less because my attention was on her the entire time. How she was almost mine. Almost the girl from all those centuries ago. But she still wasn't quite mine yet. She was, but since she didn't remember she still wasn't the girl I have loved throughout these centuries. The girl I died inside a little at a time knowing that I couldn't be with her fully if she didn't remember. I knew she would start feeling a certain way after a while but after brea

I didn't want to stay in this house. But a freaking ride home was over 500 bucks and that was on the low end. No ride share service eshould charge that much when the driver only gets the tip. No way in the hell would I ever pay that much anyway. It's more expensive then a plane ride. But I also couldn't be here. He left over 2 hours ago. He would be back by now right? Or did he really just leave me for real? I waited on him this whole time and I know he is going to come back to come get his stuff. Maybe he would come back and be hungry? I should order some food so when he does come home we can eat and talk. Hopefully he will be a lot calmer. That fight was insane. Right?! Or am I over reacting? I have a tendency to do that but I could swear he said he didn't want this or was trying to get the point across that he didn't want this. Maybe he said it incorrectly? Fuck I need to stop. But he also said some stuff that didn't make sense. Like the whole "we" thing. Who is "we" and why do

"Many times my love." I whisper as I cup hers face in my hands. Her frown met my smile and I was utterly confused. "Many many times, but this time. This time will be my most treasured time of all." I added quickly, but her facial features made me think I said something wrong. Her eyes dropped to the ground at my admission. My eyebrows furrowed as my fingers rubbed down her cheeks. "What did I say wrong?" I asked thoroughly confused. "Nothing. I-I hope she-she makes you very happy." She whispered hoarsely before stepping back. Oh no. "My love. No." I started as she shook her head. "It's ok. I just can't be the other woman. I'm not that type of girl. I should be someone's first choice." Her voice breaking. "You are her." I said over her mumbling something else as she looked up at me. "Huh?" She asked and her shoulders dropped. "You are my Agapitos." I whisper to her. "How can you be sure?" She asked her eyebrow raised. Clearly not believing me with the bit of attitude that came

After he left I felt sort of numb from the lack of his presence. I wanted to bask in his presence at every chance I get. Not to sit on the sidelines, and wait for him to notice that I'm not happy that he left me here. I should have said something and just gone with him. Now I sound crazy, I barely know this man and I feel like I would go to the ends of the Earth and back for him. I feel insane that I have already told him I loved him, I'm taking care of his dog, and I even spent the weekend with him. Isn't this going too fast? Am I overthinking it? Probably, but its what I do. I am constantly overthinking everything. I'm actually driving myself insane by just sitting here and thinking about when he will be coming back. I have heated up my coffee 3 times in an effort to try and finish my first cup of the morning. Hell, Its already noon but I didn't sleep last night. Deacon said its probably for only a day but a huge storm rolled in to New York as soon as they left. But something a

Bridgette stands next to me in the kitchen as I try to breathe and count down. Trying to calm my nerves and not flip my shit in front of everyone in this house. There has to be a logical explanation for this woman in my house. I didn't want to be stuffed into a room with 6 people, the dogs, and then me. I needed to breathe for a second and not be around everything. I open the fridge to grab myself a beer and when I close the fridge door I scream loudly. The goddess lady from outside was standing right there. "Hello Stephanie." she said brightly. Fuck she even sounds like a goddess. "Hi." I said evenly and raised an eyebrow. "Oh! I'm so sorry my name is Evangeline." she said smiling. Her perfect teeth showed an honest smile. "Ok." I said wondering why she was coming to talk to me and why she couldn't just stay out there. I took a long swig of the beer in my hand knowing I would need another in about 2 minutes. Especially if she kept talking to me. "I am apart of the Council tha

"You ready to talk yet?" she asked me and I nodded, grabbed her hand, and walked out the back door to the porch. The dogs were playing outside under the moonlight. Evangeline had left after the last phone call from the Council because now things needed to be put into action to try and fix whats wrong. But we needed some other people to help out to see if we could find out what was wrong with her. I could see her thoughts churning in her head as she came out back with me. I tried to pull her to me as we say on the porch but she sat in her own seat and sighed softly as our friends surrounded us. "Ok guys. I need answers. I don't want vague details and talk of thousands of years ago because I don't think I could stand another headache. I want answers on to what the hell is going on." she explained trying to remain calm but her voice was shaking at the end. "Did Deacon explain what an agapitos is?" Bridgette asked and she nodded her head looking at me. She had to feel the pull, other

I knew it was her. I knew it when I met her, in 54 BC. The rest of the soldiers I was in charge of were coming back to Greece after another battle. I saw her walking across a cobblestone road with a rather large brown vase in her hands. It was like her heart had beckoned to me and I answered its call. I fell to my knees in front of her, ready to give her my world and everything I had. To my dismay, the look on her face was of one of pure annoyance. She called me every name under the sun and basically told me I was being an idiot for falling to my knees. Then immediately told me to meet her at the fountain in one of the town squares in the dead of night. When I met her there under the bright moonlight her eyes glowed from the light shining down on her. Her hair long and clightly curly and it hung to the side. Her white gown draping over her body just perfectly. We spoke all night about what we were. To find out Agapitos was extremely rare and sometimes our Agapitos was not an immort
