C6 Finding you

Von POV

I got ready early. I pulled my suitcase down the stairs when I saw Leana who was downstairs and had some kind of ritual being performed.

"Hey, what kind of ritual is that?"

"Godamn Frog Horse!" She said in shock and turned to look at me.

"What is it Von, you are making my ritual broken." She said and looked at what I was carrying.

"Where are you going?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and looked at me again.

"I'll leave for now," I said.

"Where would you go?" She asked. I blinked.

"I will look for the woman I will marry," I said.

"Cleopatra isn't missing after all."

"Not Cleopatra, just the woman I love. When I find her I will take her here and introduce her to papa." I said.

"Eh? when are you coming back?" she asked.

"I don't know, maybe one month I'll be gone," I said. "It depends if I find her right away," I added.

"Who's with you?" she asked. Made me scratch my head.

"Nothing," I replied. she turned to me and raised an eyebrow.

"No way, you can't have someone with you to leave," she said and someone called on the phone. A few minutes later she put down her phone and looked at me.

"Good luck finding the girl you love, I called someone to take a look at you," she said.

"Who?" I asked.

"Just wait," she said and returned to her ritual.

I turned around and loaded my suitcases into my car. I went back inside to eat breakfast while Leana was still doing the ritual.

A few minutes later someone came, I looked at the person who came and saw that it was Aphrodite.

What is that woman doing here?

"I'm done eating," I told Leana then stood up.

"Looks like I can't wait for what you're sending me," I said.

"What? She's already here so." I frowned. I looked at her looking at Aphrodite. I also looked at Aphrodite who was looking at me.

"I call Aphrodite to come with you. You know I know you once made a wrong decision so she will come with you to guide you." I was so annoyed.

Why is Aphrodite still needed?

"Look Leana, I'm not kidding," I said and took a deep breath.

"Also me, I don't have time for jokes," she said and pulled out what was in her wand.

"Van will be mad at me."

"I'm not going to tell him that Aphrodite is with you. Also, isn't he courting Aphrodite anymore?" she said with a raised eyebrow. I just stared and looked at Aphrodite who was quietly looking at me.

I just shook my head and walked out of the house, Aphrodite followed me so when we were in front of my car I faced her.

"Go home," I said coldly. She smiled and shook her head.

"I'm coming," she says. I sighed.

"Look Aphrodite, I'm not looking for a man ---"

"I know you're looking for a woman." She cut. She smiled.

"I'll join you in the search," she added. I stared at her face. Didn't she know she was doing something that would hurt her? she would be hurt when she came along.

She was going crazy.

"Are you looking for something that will hurt you?"

"I'll join you in the search as a friend, Von," she said and took a deep breath. I can see the pain in her eyes now.

"You'll only be hurt if you go with me, Aphrodite."

"I wanted that so," she said. I took a deep breath and then asked her to open the car door, she just smiled and got inside. I also rode inside. I took a deep breath before turning on the engine of my car and then started driving.

The whole trip we were quiet so I turned on the radio of my car and if you look at it, the song is Stone cold.

I was about to stop the music when Aphrodite stopped me, she smiled at me before leaning her head against the window and looking there.

Just awkward because of the music. I'm not used to this, she really shouldn't have come along.

I was also driving quietly here, we were going out of the city because I knew that Lit lived there. I remember when she told me about their house outside the city, she said she didn't want that house because there was a ghost.

We were about to get out of the city when I decided to eat with Aphrodite at a restaurant first, I don't know if she had breakfast or what but it was noon, and there were still 30 minutes before we could get out of the city.

Aphrodite fell asleep on our flight so when I parked the car I woke her up.

"Are we out of the city yet?" she asked. I shook.

"Let's eat first," I said. Her stomach suddenly swelled.

We got out of the car and walked inside the restaurant at the same time.

"I'm just going to the comfort room," she said after she ordered, I nodded and waited for her at our table. While waiting for her, I took out my phone and looked at the five places we were going to, hopefully, in these five places, Lit will be there.

Suddenly I remembered the top of the clock hand given to me by Lit. Suddenly I'm restless again because of that.

"Are you okay?" I looked at the speaker, Aphrodite. She was in front of me and the food was on our table. I nodded.

She sat down in front of me and then smiled.

"Are you excited to see her?" she asked while smiling.

I nodded in response. I watched Aphrodite's smile. I know that smile is fake, deep inside she is hurting.

"When we get out of the city, where do we go first?" she asked while slicing the steak.

"At Villa Florensa," I replied.

she nodded.

"Their house is there so that's where we'll go first," I added.

"I have already booked a hotel where we will stay when it gets dark," she said and looked at me.

"Don't worry, let's have a separate room," she said laughing. I can't even keep up with her.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked suddenly. She looked at me as she chewed then smiled.

"I know as well, eventually you will need me," she answered so my forehead was wrinkled.

"What do you mean?" I asked. she shook her head and laughed.

"No, it's just a joke. I just read that somewhere." she laughs at the answer.
