Chapter 34: Caught Up

Van POV
Exactly at the time Aphrodite provided I was in the coffee shop.
I supposed to be late now because Cleopatra and I are watching movie. But Cleopatra  push me to leave. It's as if she's just giving me away to whomever. Here I am now, sitting while waiting for Aphrodite. I already saw her outside and walking in here. I put my hand on my head when I saw her sitting in front of me.
"Sorry I'm late.
" She says.
"It's okay, you already ordered yours, I ordered earlier.
" I said and smiled
"No, we won't talk for too long.
" She said and smiled.
"Ah go ahead about what?
" I asked and drank what I bought.
"I just ...
Want to say sorry for what I did to you." She said so I laughed.
"Is that all?
That's not important." I said.
"No Van, that will make me feel guilty.
" She said and took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry because of me you and your twin are fighting.
" She says.
"And I'm sorry if I didn't tell you that Von is what I want.
It's just like I just don't want you to get into trouble because of me. And it seems like you're okay now with Cleopatra. I guess we're too okay as a friend. " She says. I smiled.
"I should be the one to apologize to you, sorry for being over protected those days, and I'm sorry cuz I know you were choking on those days.
" I said then leaned back in my chair. "You know what, your blessings in disguise, I learned a lot of lessons from you. And thank you because you brought Cleopatra into my life." I said then smiled.
"Think about it, I thought you were really the one for me.
But I was wrong, the woman for me was the one who was always there when I needed something to lean on. Cleopatra is flawless, when I need something to cry or lean on suddenly she will suddenly appear like a mushroom and sympathize with me. "I said then laughed. Seriously, I'm so in love with that woman.
"I told you, you'll also find something better than me.
" She says.
"No offense but, she's so beautiful more than you.
" We both laughed at what I said.
"I knew it.
" She laughed and shook her head. "Well, how's Von? Their marriage isn't going on?" She asked.
"Not anymore.
If we're getting married, you should be there to witness how a Van interacts with a chest." I was proud.
"Ow!
You remember the wedding day of Creed and Rizden, it was Cleopatra who accidentally catch Rizden's bouquet." She says. I suddenly remembered that.
"Ready?
" Rizden asked.
"YES.
" Simultaneously the women answered. Rizden threw the flower he was holding, as if everything was in slow motion as you slowly fell.
"Put some water on--" Cleopatra stopped talking as she touched the flower.
My eyes widened, even Cleopatra's eyes widened as well.
"Yieee Cleopatra.
" Teased her. She stood up straight while still looking at the flower she was holding.
"Why me?
" She asked. Right, why her? Aphrodite can. Then she is close to Aphrodite, Damn it!
"Can we have another one?
" I asked so everyone looked at me. "She's not involved." I said annoyed while looking at Cleopatra. Cleopatra looked at me. She stared at me.
"As if I want to catch this.
" She said and gave Aphrodite the flower. Take note, she even gave it to me. Smash vampire land.
"Van, what's your trip?
" Von asked me.
"Because Aphrodite should be the one to take part if she's not a star.
" I said angrily.
"HAHAHAHA yes, I'm still praying that day for you will be the one to catch that.
" I said.
"Wait I'm just go to the CR.
" She says. I nodded and drank what I bought then watched her walk to CR, she even bumped into a woman in a black hoodie. She was not careful. Seriously, I was really mad at her then, very disgusting. I picked up my phone to text Cleopatra.
To Master:
Bb!
I've already talked to Aphrodite, she's just sorry about the past, like she busted me before. I really remember bb that I was so madly in love at her before. Disgusting bb, i feel like i want to vomit everytime i remember that i chase her,  anyways, i already brought your coffee, i'm about to leave too, i'll just waiting to Aphrodite to finish on the restroom. I miss you <3
I smiled when i sent the message to her.

"Van.
" I look at the one who call me. I stood up and hand the coffee of Cleopatra.
"Aphrodite, did you change your clothes?
By the way I'm going home thank you--" I didn't finish what I was about to say when she suddenly kissed me. My eyes widened at what she did. I immediately pushed her away from me. I'm about to  speak when I see who is behind her.
"Cleopatra ...
" I saw how her tears dripped and how she quickly wiped them away. She immediately turned around and ran out of the coffee shop.
I looked at Aphrodite who just smiled before I ran to chase Cleopatra.

Cleopatra POV
I sighed and turned off the TV when Leana texted me.
We're supposed to meet at the coffee shop, Van was right there at the coffee shop. I immediately got dressed and left our room. While walking, I received a message from Van that he was leaving, so I teleported to that coffee shop to reach Van.
I pushed open the coffee shop door and went inside.
I rolled my eyes and looked for Van. I stopped when I saw him, I stunned when i saw him kissing Aphrodite. Suddenly my tears welled up and I felt pain as I looked at them. At first I knew he was crazy about Aphrodite then but is he still crazy? I could see Van looking in my direction. I immediately wiped away my tears and turned away from them then ran out of the coffee shop.
"Cleopatra!
" I heard Van shout. I immediately teleported back to Van and I's room. I immediately closed the bedroom door and leaned forward while holding my chest. I feel like heaven and earth have fallen on me.
"Cleopatra let's talk.
" I heard Van say.
"Don't ever try to teleport in here Van, I'll kill you.
" I said crying.
"Listen to me first BB.
"
"I am going home.
" That's all I said before sitting on the floor. Very painful. Did I think I was the one he loved? I thought he didn't like Aphrodite anymore. What did I see? Why are they kissing!
"BB listen to me first please when we talk about this.
" I heard him say. I did not answer. All I could do was cry.
"Let's fix this BB, what you saw was wrong.
" I immediately picked up my cellphone and dialed Freddrick’s number. 
"BB please let's talk listen to me.
"
(Hello?
)
"I- I'm going home.
"
(Are you crying?
)
"BB please open the door ...
Face me."
"F-fetch me ...
B-brother."
(Fuck.
)
The call died and I was holding it to my chest.
That's too crowded. I tried to calm myself down. But when I think that Van's lips are pressed against Aphrodite's lips, it hurts me even more.
"BB please ...
"
I'm going home ...
I don't want to.
I look at the ring I'm wearing.
The ring Van gave me. I removed it and placed it on my side.
I don't want to ...
