When Lovers Fight

"Oh sorry!" Elora apologized to Derek with an embarrassed smile on her face.

Derek didn't reply her, he just kept on frowning.

"Come on babe, I'm sorry...." Elora said and held his hands.

It was hard to resist Elora when she's pleading so Derek had to forgive her.

"Just don't stare at him like that again okay? He's the type of guy who can steal girls with one wink and I don't wanna lose you to him."

"Don't kid me Derek, you know that I'm not that sort of girl."

"But what you did right now says otherwise."

"I was just curious that's all, I haven't seen him around before."

"Well... That's the famous Lucian, one of the world's youngest men to make the Forbes 500."

'Forbes 500?!' Elora repeated in her head, "What's a millionaire doing in an eatery for commoners?"

"Point of correction, Billionaire not millionaire," Derek said, "I don't know what he's doing here though but whatever it is, I don't like it and I want him to leave before he steals you from me."

"Don't be silly Derek, no one can steal me from you."

"I hope so..."

From the moment Lucian and his battalion commanders had stepped into the eatery, he knew that there was something off about the place. Initially, he thought that it was because his first battalion commander worked here but he later realized that he was sorely wrong when his eyes met that blonde haired girl who was staring at him.

As a rich and handsome man, Lucian was accustomed to having different types of women staring at him but this one was different, even her spirit aura was pure and white in colour.

Spirit aura is the worth of a human's spirit and the strength of a spirit aura is measured with colors. White is the purest and most nutritious spirit aura while black is the least pure and least nutritious spirit aura.

Most demons would give anything to eat the girl at that moment but instead of wishing to eat her, Lucian found himself attracted to her and wishing to talk to her.

'She isn't the most beautiful girl I've seen so why's my body acting this way?' Lucian asked himself with a frown and turned away from her.

His mission was to retrieve his first battalion commander and not to flirt, but no matter how much Lucian tried to think of something else, the thought of the girl resurfaced and he found himself throwing slight glances at her.

Elora also tried to take her mind off Lucian but the harder she tried, the more futile it became, she always found herself staring at him. Derek had already warned her twice and he was starting to lose his patience. He suddenly slammed his hand on the table and yelled, "What the hell is wrong with you!? How many times will I tell you to stop doing the same thing?!"

Everyone in the room turned towards them, including Lucian.

"Ah! I'm so..." Elora used her hands to cover her mouth when she realized her mistake and tried to apologize but Derek cut her off,

"I can see that you're tired tonight, I'll be leaving first." Derek said rudely and loudly and stormed out of the room, Elora quickly grabbed her handbag and went after him.

Lucian just stared at them with a hard expression on his face.

Outside the building, Derek was walking angrily towards his car as Elora was calling him.

"Derek!"

He ignored her,

"Derek! Please I'm sorry!" He ignored her again, he didn't even slow down, she had to run up to him and hold his hand. He shrugged her off and glared angrily at her.

"What is it? Go back and continue staring at him!"

"I'm sorry Derek, I didn't mean to, I didn't know you would get jealous."

"Shut up! Just shut up! I don't wanna hear any petty ass apologies from you anymore," Derek flared, "this is the what time that you're apologising tonight?"

"Why are you acting this way? I've already apologized, what's your problem?" Elora asked, her voice rising a little.

"Are you yelling at me?!" Derek's eyes were red and they looked like they would pop out of their sockets. This was the first time in their relationship that Elora had seen Derek like this and it was scaring her.

"N...no" she whimpered,

"I said are you yelling at me?!" Derek asked again,

"Why are you acting like this Derek? This is not you!" Elora shouted, tears had already formed in her eyes.

"Alright, get in the car." Derek said and pointed to his car, a deep blue convertible that had gold rimmed tires that hinted on how wealthy it's owner was

"Why're you acting like this Derek?"

"Are you getting in or not?"

"No! Not till you tell me what's gotten over you." She said firmly but with a shaky voice,

"Fine! Have your way then." Derek said, walked to the car and drove off as Elora burst into tears.

She stood there for some seconds crying her eyes out when she suddenly perceived the smell of a strong masculine cologne and before her brain could process that someone was standing behind her, a pair of strong arms grabbed her and spun her around.

"What's the matter? Why are you crying?" The voice asked, it was deep but calm and carried a sense of reassurance. She felt like sinking into his strong arms, leaning her head on his broad chest while inhaling his cologne, but when she looked up and saw his face, she jumped away in shock, this person whom she was fantasizing about was the same person who was responsible for the predicament she was into.

"No! No!" Elora screamed, "get away from me! Why are you so cool? Why are you so handsome that I had to look at you twice and make my boyfriend angry? Why are you so evil?"

Without waiting for him to reply, Elora ran off leaving Lucian staring at her in surprise, wondering why she was crying and what would have made her run off like that.

He was still staring after her running figure when he felt someone behind him, it was a familiar presence.

"What is it Razor?"

"Xella is moving, her shift is over. It's time to move."
