The Untitled Love Story Chapter 43: Moments In Time
Walking up the walkway to the entrance of our destination, it almost felt like I was on a fashion runway. I kid you not when I say, we made heads turn. My initial worry was how Theron would cope with the stress, but he just adjusted his arm around my arm without paying much heed to anything else.Even Melissa and Jacob glanced between Theron and me with a surprised expression. "You two definitely dressed to kill." Melissa chuckled.She was dressed in a simple purple dinner gown while Jacob settled for a white long-sleeve round-neck shirt under a jean jacket, with jean trousers."I didn't know we would be meeting others here." Theron said, his lips curving into a smile soon after his words."Oh, don't worry, darling, we will be sitting tables apart." Melissa replied."Right, Melisa this is Theron." I introduced."The famous heart stealer, Theron Wilson. This" Melissa's smile broadened."Mel." I stated nervously."What? I'm just making conversation." She smirked."He's smitten." She sa
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 42: Date Night
I almost didn't recognise myself when the barber was done. The new haircut allowed more visibility of my ears and the side of my face, and even my jawline seemed sharper with the new cut.Turning to Falcon, I received an approving smirk as the barber dusted stands of hair off my body."Thanks Frodo." Falcon smiled as she paid him his fee."Anytime, Fi." He smiled back.So, they knew each other. That explains why she had specifically stopped here of all places."He's an old friend." Falcon said as we walked out."Was I that obvious?" I chuckled nervously."Not really, but I figured you would be curious. You are a detective after all." She replied.My tongue clicked in dissatisfaction again, I probably needed to get my head checked. Either that or I had to find some way of stopping myself from expressing dissatisfaction whenever someone else called me by my profession."You are one of those weird obsessive types, aren't you?" Falcon chuckled next to me."I am what?" I asked, confused."
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 41: New Cut
"Have fun." Granny waved as I made my way to Theron's place.He would have probably expected me to come around, but not to ask him out on a date. Would Falcon even let me take him out? I mean, she was friendly and all, but she radiated this protective aura when we spoke about Theron.Well, I was about to find out as I knocked on Theron's front door. I heard the lock click from inside, signalling the door had been unlocked."Theron, your puppy's here." Falcon yelled towards the kitchen.She was seated on the living room floor with a box of takeout in hand, shooting me a smirk as I walked in."Stop calling him that." Theron yelled back from the kitchen.There were a couple more boxes of takeout in the bin as I walked into the kitchen, Theron stood in front of the kitchen sink, dipping a plate that looked like it had been used to serve some sauce in foamy water."Hi." He said, looking over his shoulder."Hi." I greeted back, walking up to the counter."What are you doing tonight?" He as
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 40: Office Talk
Melissa snagged the coffee I had brought to the office, downing the entire thing in a single gulp. Good thing it wasn't hot, that would have been messy.Now I understood the pleasure Falcon felt when she demonstrated the power of the helm to me, only that I didn't need a helm to prove myself to Melissa."The fact that you, a fact-driven individual who laughed during a tour that mentioned myths, are standing here in front of me with this story of gods and artifacts, either means I am still asleep or you are actually telling the truth." She had said after drinking my coffee."So, you believe me?" I asked, surprised."Of course, so far you have been the source of most of the information we have. It's not like I have anything else to go on, though a helmet that turns one invisible kind of stretches the mind a bit." She replied with a shrug."Trust me, I know. I am still surprised I didn't piss my pants when I saw it being used." I chuckled."So, this thefts are just Collectors exploiting
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 39: Now On Board
"The Arcane Collectors' rules sure have a lot of loopholes in them." I stated after a moment of brief silence."I think that part's intentional. Members of the association and even teammates of some members are descendants of the ancient worshippers." Falcon explained."So the loopholes exist so they can still take jabs at each other." I deduced."Yeah, like Mr Harrison and whoever's stealing his donations to the Colgate University museum." She nodded."Mr Harrison is an Arcane Collector?" I asked surprised."A very powerful Arcane Collector." She smirked."More than Miss M?" I inquired."More powerful than Mr X." She replied.Suddenly, the feeling I got from the man that day at the hospital made sense. That cold dark look in his eyes, his disciplined expression, and the chill behind his threat.If I had actually come to the hospital to harm Theron, that would have been the end for me."So powerful, but Theron still got caught in an attack on his relics." I scoffed, recalling the hosp
The Untitled Love Story Chapter 38: Logic Left The House
Falcon had an amused expression plastered across her face as I fiddled with the helmet, feeling for circuit compartments, screws or even some uneven points I could attempt to pry open."It's always amusing to watch unbelievers attempt to rationalise the supernatural. I didn't get to see Charlie's expression, but I will settle for yours." She smirked.I chuckled quietly, not at her statement or facial expression, but simply because I suddenly realised she never once called him Theron, and I never called him Charlie. I guess we were both sticking to what we were used to."Alright, no electronics or modern technology is in this thing, but-"Before I could finish, she snatched the helm from me and slid it on her head.A chill ran down my spine as the woman vanished before my very eyes. It was nothing like you would see in the movies where a character would have to focus or disappear slowly. She just simply wasn't there."I am tempted to torment you a bit, but Charlie's asleep on your lap
