C5 Giving birth

We left Clementine's hospital room when her doctor said she needed to rest. We were so happy for their baby. It's just that Fin doesn't look cute, I hope he doesn't get his father's habit. It was a very bad attitude when Clementine was just meek, when we arrived it was like challenging a war.

"Von." I was stunned when I heard Aphrodite's voice. I did not face her. I just kept turning my back in her direction. I was so stunned when she came in front of me and looked into my eyes.

Earlier, we were about to leave when she arrived and Leana took her.

"Are you mad at me?" She asked. I didn't answer her. I just looked around because Van might see us and he would get mad at me again. I passed her but I still couldn't get away when she grabbed my arm so I stopped again.

"Von talk to me please." I took a deep breath then turned to face her and removed her hand that was holding me.

"We're talking, aren't we?" I asked coldly. "I told you to stop," I added. I could see her tears forming.

I don't want to hurt her because of me. I'm telling the truth, she's not the one I want and she's not the one I love. I'm waiting for that woman, I'm waiting for Lit to come back.

"It's just… please choose me." I was very close to what she said. Here she is again, trying to force herself on me.

"Aphrodite," I said and approached her to wipe the tears dripping from her eyes. I don't want to see a woman cry just because of me.

"I'm not the only Man in the world," I said after I wiped away her tears.

"She's also not the only woman in the world, Von." I was silenced by what she said.

"Whoever you're waiting for isn't the only woman. Von, I'm here, eh, then you know it won't come back--"

"You've stopped!" she stopped when I suddenly shouted. I swallowed because she was surprised when I shouted. I don't want to shout at her. I just don't want to hear what she has to say.

"Van, he's the one you need to love Aphrodite. My brother wants you--"

"And I want you Von." she interrupted me.

"I don't like you," I said coldly which made her cry even more. I took a deep breath and turned away from her.

"Just call Leona and Leana," I said then stepped away from her.

I don't want to hurt Aphrodite, she's like my younger sister to me. I don't want to ruin our friendship just because of what she feels for me.

One more thing, my twin likes her. I don't want Van to be especially angry with me just because of the woman.

I got in my car and headed home. I have nowhere else to go.

While I was on the road, my phone rang. I answered that when I saw my friend's number.

"Bro where are you?" He asked.

"Why, I’m driving going home?" I asked.

"Clyde is having a drink."

"Oh? When did he learn to drink ?" I asked laughing and swerved my car.

"I don't know if it's broken either. Come here to the bar, Franco is here waiting for you." He says. I laughed. That's right, I'm not going to do anything.

"Yes, on the way," I said and turned off the call.

It took me a few minutes to reach the bar where we always hang out with the troops.

I saw them at our favorite table starting to drink. I even laughed when I saw Clyde drunk and crying.

“Fuck that witch, she confesses her feelings to me then she suddenly disappears like a ghost? When did the witch turn into a ghost huh?” Clyde said while crying. I sat in my usual seat next to Avenger.

"Broken?" I asked Avenger as I sat down. I took a glass and sipped the wine they took.

"Yes dude, Dame him, he said he was ghosted by the witch," Franco replied laughing.

"oh? I thought you would stay single forever Clyde?" I said.

"It's the witch's fault!" Drunk he says.

"Did you drink that before?" I asked.

"HAHAHAHAHA that's only five cheers," Avenger told me a story so I laughed

"Those witches are hurtful," Clyde said so I laughed.

"Who is the witch you're referring to?" Franco asked. I poured the wine into my glass again.

"His Sister. " I almost spit out the wine I was drinking when Clyde pointed me out.

"What? My sister?" I asked.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

"Which one?" I asked. Clyde poured the wine and knocked it over and then dropped the glass he was holding.

"Leana! That's Conyo witch." The three of us looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

"What's so funny ?! You should be with me crying now because I'm broken, broken so unfortunate." He said with a slap on the chest.

"It’s Leana, stupid, Leona is not conyo," I said so he looked at me.

"But Leona is what she says is her name." I just shook my head, Leana probably used Leona's name again. Those two. They are a headache. It will be the night when I get home, when I arrive, only Creed and Rizben will be there watching.

"Where are the others?" I asked.

"They're not home yet," Creed said.

"What did you do?" They looked at me.

"Ha?" They asked together.

"I said what did you do while we were away, did you cook?" I asked.

"No, we're watching. Then there's a babysitter." Creed said and put his arm around his wife.

"Gosh, I can't believe you just watched," I whispered.

"Hoi I can hear you!" Creed shouted so I ran to my room.

I took a deep breath and approached my trunk, my eyes widening when I saw the clock that Lit had given me. Why did the hands of the clock stop moving ?!

"Clock?" I asked with a smile as I looked at what Lit gave me.

"Mm, it's not just a clock. It's a blessing from a magical creature. Then you see those hands?" She asked so I could see the hand of the clock moving.

"When that stops, it means someone else is making me happy."

I went downstairs to look for Creed but he wasn't there. The TV is on but there are no people down here. They were probably in their room. I sat on the sofa and remembered the clock.

That can't be stopped. I was distracted when I felt a creature walking up the stairs. I saw Van who was just a newcomer.

"Hanging out with my fiance, huh," I said.

"What now?" He asked. I looked at him, should I tell him my problem or not? Maybe he won't listen and he'll say I'm acting and I'm just overthinking.

"Why are you hanging out with my fiance?" That is the only thing I said.

"None of your business." He replied.

"She's my Fiance, Van." I tease especially.

"But you didn't love her." At least he has a point.

"I can't get you, Van, I'm trying to do anything to make you believe because I don't like Aphrodite, I will marry a woman I don't want just to prove to you that there is no intercession between us and Aphrodite and now, Cleopatra that I will marry the one you are approaching, who do you want? " I asked annoyed.

"Then stop proving yourself to me, Von." He said and turned his back on me.

"All I want is for us to go back to the past," I whispered. Then sit on the sofa again and think. Will I let Van know I'm leaving to find Lit? Can I go with him?

I heard the door of his room close. I just sighed and leaned on the sofa.

Nevermind.
