Never Ending

Chapter Twenty-Three

And here I thought what my parents confessed is a lot to take in. Who would have thought that I was Helen? In fact who would have thought that the Iliad happened and that Helen and Paris are still alive in this generation? I opened my eyes and realized that I fell asleep in Callum's house. I felt the shifting of the bed; I look at my right and saw Callum sleeping right next to me. His slow breathing calms me and couldn't help but stare at him. He looks so divine as he sleeps. I could watch him all day.

"I can feel your eyes at me, agape mou." He said while his eyes are closed.

I giggled then bit my lower lip. "Is it really rude to stare?"

He grinned sheepishly. "No. It makes us even for I love watching you sleep too."

He opens his eyes and we both giggled. I lean close and peck on his lips. "Good morning."

He wraps his arm around me, leaving me unable to escape his grasp. "What I'd give to wake up like this." He said, closing his eyes again.

"Callum?" I said as I lightly poke his nose. He hums his reply. "You have to refresh the memory of your reincarnated mate."

He laughed a little with his eyes still closed. "Of course, agape mou but it's too early to wake. Let's go back to our sweet slumber."

I smiled and kissed his lips once more before going back to sleep.

We run hand in hand towards the dock. If he stayed, he'd die. I stopped when we reached the dock by his ship. He halted when he noticed I didn't go any further. "Come away with me." He said.

"I can't. They'll kill you if I did." I said. It is the most logical thing to do for if I let him take me, he will just follow me there and kill us both.

"But he'll kill you for helping me." He said desperation in his eyes.

"I know him. Harming me is the least he'd do to me. Go now and take your leave before the guards are able to catch you." I said, pleading him to go or else I wouldn't be able let him go.

He held my hand and looked at me in the eyes before one of his soldiers called him up. He turn around, disappointment is evident in his face as he walk towards the ship.

As I see him walk away from me, it slowly tears me apart as if my heart is slowly being squeezed up in a small container leaving it unable to function. That's when my feet as if have a mind on its own run towards him. He stopped to hold my hand and we both went to the ship towards his home together.

I woke up with my arm and shoulder softly being kissed. I stirred and look over my shoulder to see Callum smiling at me.

"Breakfast, agape mou." He said, holding out a tray of food in his hands.

I smiled and sat up in my bed. He places it between us. On the tray were two plates of omelet with two glasses of water. We ate together and couldn't help but stare at him. "What does 'agape mou' mean?" I asked after I swallowed.

He looked at me then took a sip on his water before speaking. "It means my love in Greek." He grins.

I nodded and continue to finish my omelet. "I dreamed about us you know... I knew it was us because I took a glance on the water underneath the ship. It was us as Paris and Helen leaving."
