The Devil is our Cupid

Vince Stone

"How did he abuse you Mr. Stone?"

"Verbally, he never physically abused me."

"Any reasons as to why he did that, any medical conditions?"

"No, I don't know. He hated me because my mother died while giving birth to me."

"Hmmph. Would you like us to send anymore security around the house Mr. Stone?"

"No, thank you."

I escorted the police officer to the door. I had been meeting police officers, businessmen and few people from the press since my father died. We are the richest in Seattle.

Almost all of them thought that I would drop out of college and handle my father's business, but I decided not to do that.

According to my father's will, I was the heir of the 'Stone Industries' and I will handle all his business once he was gone.
But I couldn't understand that he hated me but still he left everything to me, why didn't he like give it to the charity or something?

I'm very young to handle it so I gave my uncle Mr. Vince Stone the authority to handle it until I turned 21.

Vince is a great guy, he was my father's brother, but was nothing like my father.
He always supported me and was one of the reasons as to why my dad could never physically hurt me.

He was a cheerful guy and his life motto was, "life is short, so have s*x with every girl you meet".

He was crazy and enjoyed each moment of his life but that was because he had gone through a lot of shit.

He was also possessed by a demon but recovered quickly, as his mother or my grandma was the daughter of a priest, who immediately recognised that something was wrong with him.

My dad never knew about the possession, my grandma hid it from him. According to her, my dad was very young and innocent and had to be kept away from all this.

Vince was the one who helped me get exorcised because he recognised the problem. He took me to Ohio where some guy did the exorcism. He made me promise him that I wouldn't ever tell my dad about him or me.

He was the one who got human meat for me, he tried his best to keep me away from it but I used to get aggressive, so the only way to calm me down was by having a good piece of leg.

"Lucifer, my man. Finish this beer, I'm already on my 3rd one", Vince was sitting with me trying to make me feel better.

"For Christ's sake, you're my uncle, act like it".

His face immediately dropped,
"Do I look like an uncle to you, I'm so young that I look like your brother, that too younger brother."

I smiled, he was always excited.

I got up and started getting ready, I had to meet Rose today.

"Come on, you can't do this to me. I thought we would watch porn and have beers the whole day", Vince pouted as he saw me getting dressed up.

"I have to go meet Rose, I'm already late."

"Ahaan, who is Rose? Did you kiss her yet?"

"Vince shut up, she's my friend. My only friend."

"You like her, don't you?"

I hated it when he did that, it always felt like I'm an open book in front of him. He would read my mind and give me solutions immediately.

"Come on, be a man. Tell her how you feel, she's your only friend. Don't you see it, why did she become friends with you when you're the weirdo of your college? Obviously she likes you."

He did make some sense, I mean yeah she wants to help me because of her mother but before she knew about me, she talked to me and hung out with me or chose me as her partner.

"I don't want to spoil our friendship, she knows how I feel, but she doesn't feel the same way."

"Woah, I'm sorry I can't help you then".

I laughed, he continued having his beer and searched for porn.

"Why are you late? I've been waiting here since half an hour."

"I'm sorry. Vince forced me to stay".

"Who's Vince?"

"He's my uncle."

"You never mentioned about him".

"Fine, so today I'll tell you about him".

"Okay good enough", she smiled.

I told her how he had helped me and how he also was possessed and that my dad didn't knew about both of us.

"I have a doubt? Your father didn't know about it so why did the devil take him. Vince knows about it so why didn't the devil take him?"

"He has this locket that he wears all the time, it's made up of special things, I don't know. He says that the locket protects him from evil. I don't believe that a stupid locket would protect him from 'evil' ".

"So why doesn't he give it to you?"

"Because he doesn't know".

"What?"

"That the devil is back, he knows that it was him who killed my dad but he doesn't know about the message."

"Are you crazy! You should tell him. Do you have any idea that your life is in danger and God forbid but you may even get killed when you are sleeping. You need professional help and he can do that."

"Okay! Stop screaming, why are you getting so hyper."

"Because I care for you god dammit, it feels like my life is in danger and not yours."

I kept quiet. She was right, she had been thinking more about it rather than me. She was trying her best but I wasn't. I decided I would go and tell Vince about it.

"I'm sorry Rose and I promise the first thing I'll do is go and tell Vince."

"I'm glad. Can I meet him too?"

I thought about it and agreed to it, Vince would be really happy to meet her.

We sat quietly after that, both of us lost in our thoughts. I didn't want to tell Vince, he would definitely flip out.
