It was the first time for him to see a man with such long hair, but it didn’t make him look weird or even strange, it actually had the opposite effect. The vibe that he gave off was similar to this white haired woman, only much stronger.
He was so attractive, even the police officer had to admit that. He was out of his league and made him feel self conscious to continue his questioning.
“Is there a problem here?” Chaos asked the police officer, who was giving Zuri a hard time.
“No... but, we need your contact information,” he said in an awkward tone. He tried to make eye contact with this man, but it was hard to hold his gaze. No matter how hard he tried, there was something about him that made him want to lower his head in submission.
“Officer Jeremiah, isn’t it?” Chaos asked, he could read it from the name tag on his chest. “Can I take my woman away now?”
Zuri was sure that Chaos used his power again when the police officer nodded his head obediently, too docile for someone in that uniform, even though she knew that Chaos could be so scary sometimes.
“Yes, you may leave with your woman, sir,” he said politely, as he bent his body slightly. This gesture made Zuri raise her brows.
But, Chaos didn’t care about that, as he rested his hand around her waist possessively and then led her way out of this police station building. He paid attention to no one else around him. They stared at him quietly, as his appearance with long hair was quite unusual.
In the past, Chaos rarely showed himself. He could walk on the streets and people wouldn’t bat an eye to look at him, but now, because he couldn’t use his power, he was not able to make the other people ignore him.
.....
Therefore, even if it was only a handful of people there, they still paid close attention to him.
“You used your power, didn’t you?” Zuri asked Chaos, pulling his long hair that he left to cascade down his back, to get his attention. “Don’t ignore me.”
Chaos grimaced and slightly bent down his body because this girl was no longer satisfied by biting or clawing. She developed a new habit of pulling his hair whenever he didn’t give her the attention she wanted.
Both of them walked in the parking lot, far enough from people to hear their conversation, but not too much as they could still see this stunning couple. Somehow, they would agree that these two people complimented each other.
“Just enough to make him know his place,” Chaos replied, while he tried to make Zuri release his hair, as she grabbed it too tightly.
“I told you not to use your power!” Zuri growled at him, but this only made him smile softly to see her reaction like this.
“How can I not? He was trying to flirt with you,” Chaos said. “Don’t be angry, I won’t kill him or something, right?”
“Chaos!” Zuri was speechless, she was lost for words to reply to his words, but then Chaos leaned over to kiss and gave her a kiss in front of everyone that had been staring at them stealthily and this made Zuri release his hair. After that, Chaos pulled away and smiled cheekily at her. “Chaos!”
It was night when they finally managed to reach the port.
Just like what they had predicted, the tickets were quite expensive, as they had to dig so deep just to buy two tickets, but fortunately, the fortune of the McKeltars was bottomless.
“I am impressed that you managed to buy two tickets in such a short amount of time,” Zuri said, as she got out of the car and headed toward the ship. “Did you use your power?”
“I used my influence and charm,” Chaos replied cheekily, as he grabbed her hand, so they wouldn’t be separated, because it was so crowded tonight at the port.
People, who had urgent business to go to the other islands, didn’t have much choice but to take this transportation to cross the sea.
Hearing that, Zuri rolled her eyes dramatically, but she needed to admit that Chaos was indeed a little bit relaxed right now. He looked more at ease, though Zuri didn’t really know the cause behind it, as they didn’t find any shattered souls at all, since the last time he took the old lady’s soul.
“Okay, charming man, I want to know what percentage is our chance to be able to cross the sea without the disruption of your old friends?” What she meant by old friends was of course Hades and Aaron.
Yet, Zuri would gladly face Hades rather than Aaron, and hear his rumbling about how Aaron would cause trouble for them, without even really helping them at all.
There would be something that entailed behind it if they accepted Hades’ help.
“He will come, no matter what way we will take,” Chaos replied lightly, which was so true. “We just need to face it.”
If worse comes to worst, of course, Chaos would be forced to use his power, but the aftermath would be something that was still vague for anyone...
Both of them walked to the checkpoint to give their tickets and were led to their room.
Yes, Chaos got the most expensive tickets, which let them stay in a room, instead of getting two seats for them.
“I should have expected this from you,” Zuri said, as she laid her back on the soft mattress, this room smelled nice and this made her feel sleepy. Today was a long day...
“I don’t use my power for convenience, but I want you and I to feel comfortable during our journey, it will be half a day on the sea.” Chaos then laid beside her and pulled her closer. “Sleep, Blue... you need some rest,” he whispered softly into her ear.
