Selene Goddess of the Moon

SELENE'S POV

Tears fall down my cheeks and I am about to wipe them when Martha holds my hand.

"It's okay to cry, I guess you need it...."

I suddenly felt the feeling of being human when Martha whispered to my ears while holding my hand.

Tears fell down my face and I burst into tears. I can't help it, after being abandoned by the normal life I have. Finally, the feeling of being found by Martha's warm hand makes me feel weak, like a human who also needs care.

Minutes passed, and I rested my head on Martha's lap. I had never been feeling relaxed and light my whole life. I hugged her waist for some reason and that was the first I fell asleep like a human.

As I opened my eyes I was still hugging Martha's waist in the middle of the night. I checked the clock and it was already 3 am. Martha fell asleep leaning her back on the edge of the couch. I slowly lifted her in a bridal style and jump up from the 1st floor to the second floor and put Martha on my bed. I couldn't help but stare at Martha's beautiful face. I can't deny that this lady is so special; she hit the hardest part of my heart that I never allowed anyone but only her. I poured a cup of blood since Martha is sleeping beside me, I need to have control of my vampire needs, every time I look at Martha, something inside me is fighting, a tiny emotion that is new to me that I used to suppress. But in Martha's case, I find it hard to do.

MARTHA'S POV

I don't know where Ms. Selene had her lunch, though I don't have the right to ask. What I don't understand is that I thought we already had this kind of closeness after that night, and now she has gone back to the same old bitchy attitude! Every time I think about that night, I can't erase the fact of why I did that. I mean I touched Ms. Selene's face, and the way I said those words, I can't even recognize myself, I have this kind of concern for her which I never had with anyone. "Earth to Martha!"

Valerie shouts at me while I am in the middle of my thoughts.

"Why so serious? Loosen up!"

She said while eating her food.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Sorry, I was just wondering how I can still manage to work with Ms. Selene; I mean it is really hard to deal with her sometimes,"

I said then pout.

"That's cute. I mean... about Ms. Selene, well she's not a people person. I was actually surprised when she talked to you. Normally she tends to ignore people, even her last secretary, even us. She will just talk to us if it is needed" She explained. So, it means they were just a ghost for Ms. Selene.

"Anyway, about our planned dinner, I guess I can make it later since Ms. Selene doesn't have an important matter to attend to today. I mean her schedule is only until 6 pm,"

I explained.

"Good, so it's a date!"

She said with a smile, I know it's just a joke, since I cracked it as a joke to her once, but coming from her makes it feel a little different.

To be honest, Valerie is super sweet. How she compliments me. Sometimes I feel like I want to enjoy it, but Nah! I can't do that.

It is not that I'm not in favor of LGBT community, but I never see myself being part of it or having a romantic attachment to a female. If that happens, good luck to me!

SELENE'S POV

Gust and I are talking in the helipad area of my building.

"The bloody moon eclipse appeared at certain coordinates, specific latitudes and longitudes at that time, it was the year 1993, and the core light was headed to Pampanga's location" Gust explained.

"At least we have our leads, and have as much specific detail as possible,"

I said.

"Copy that! So how is Martha under your cruelness?"

Gust teases me.

"Coping, so far she managed to close her eyes at my siesta feast,"

I said while staring at the sun and the wind blew into my hair.

"What!? You already did that? Poor Martha, she's been trapped by your sexual session! Damn you Sen! "

Gust exclaimed and I chuckled at his reaction.

"She'll get used to it in time, if not then...."

I suddenly stopped since I couldn't find the words to say.

Gust noticed it; it is the first time that the word "killing" makes it difficult for me to say.

"Well, I hope it won't get to that. I can sense that Martha is more than what we expected and she's always been special in her way. I believe you're aware of that." Gust said, looking straight at the sky.

"Let's see..."

I said, and then crossed my arms while enjoying the wind.

Gust bid goodbye to go back to the field and then jumped from building to building in a quick move.

I headed my way back to the office and I saw Martha with Valerie.

I focus on my senses to be able to listen to them.

"Okay look, I'm not being pushy or what, but yeah, I liked you the first time I laid my eyes on you and, yes, to answer your curiosity, I'm a lesbian,"

Valerie said. I was stunned by what I heard. Valerie falls for the same gender. I had cunnilingus several times before and I even enjoy it, but falling for the same gender is out of the book. "Ahem, well thank you for liking me, you're the first who said that to me, but I enjoy this friendship, Val."

Martha said that makes me smile in victory for some reason that I don't know.

"I understand, I'll give you time. For now, I can be your friend, Mar"

Valerie said.

"For the first time, I feel like I want to suck all her blood until she's bone and skin left"

I mumbled to myself pertaining to Valerie and I felt my tempered uproar.

I walked towards my office and waited for Martha to get in.

"Hi Ma'am, have you taken your lunch?"

Martha asks. I remained looking at her and I could see the confusion drawn all over her face.

Martha was about to go to her table when I spoke.

"Have you had any boyfriends?"

I ask. I could see the shock on her face.

"Ahem, may I know why you're asking me that Ma'am?"

She asked back.

"Nothing, it's just, you look innocent on that subject."

I said while assessing Martha's reaction.

"Well, I don't have any boyfriend, just mere crushes and admiration."

Martha shyly said.

"So, what is your qualification if ever?"

I ask again. That makes it awkward for her.

"Ahem, what is this question for, if you don't mind ma'am?"

Martha asks.

"Am I hitting your personal space?"

I ask.

"No, ma'am, but, I mean I haven't thought of that ever since."

Martha said and started to blush in awkwardness.

"Oh I see, you've never been in love.... just a sort of advice. Not everyone who throws you a flower or even gives you the sweetest words can be trusted. Flowers may have thorns, words may tell lies, so just be careful, that's all. You can go back to work"

I explained, and then focused on the monitor.

I know that what I did was outside of my usual life. I actually don't understand myself sometimes or why I have this uneasy feeling towards Valerie's intentions for Martha.

MARTHA'S POV

I was really shocked by Ms Selene's sudden question. Out of nowhere, she asked me that kind of question and I was caught off guard.

I secretly gazed at her like an idiot when she caught me! Dang!

"Something wrong, Martha?"

She confusingly asks.

"Nothing Ma'am."

I said as my heart almost dropped when she suddenly looked at me and caught me sneaking a gaze at her.

It is almost 15 minutes left before our work ends and I still thinking about the dinner with Valerie. Damn, how can I ask Ms. Selene about it! I mean, why am I feeling this way, like needing her consent, though my errands are personal in the first place? Tsk!

I have no choice since it is almost the time; I need to tell Ms. Selene that I have some personal appointments.

"Ma'am, I have a dinner to attend tonight. I may not be able to go with you in the car going home"

I explained. She just only looks at me for seconds then stands up, grabs her coat and bag and just passes me by going to the elevator. I choose not to ride the same elevator with her since I will go to Valerie's office first so we can both go to her place.

While walking towards Valerie's office, Ms. Selene's words linger in my mind. I get her point; I know what she is trying to say though about her question, I don't know why she was suddenly curious about it.

Still in the middle of questioning myself, I am now standing at Ms. Valerie's office; I just knock and get in.

I try to just throw away all of Ms. Selene's words and just enjoy myself with my newfound friend.
