Chapter 1 - Making someone fall for someone else

Being a cupid is sometimes hard especially for me because I am one. In my entire life being cupid I never find someone that is willing to stay for one person for to long. The couple that my arrows land to always stay for one week, I'm actually lucky if they would stay even for a week with each other.

It's always irritating when the other younger Cupids are moving into an actual one which means that I am just a provesionary. When in my life can I actually find a perfect couple.

"Sofia Hannah Valentine!" A strong mascular voice called me through the lobby while I am passing by.

"Ohh... Mr. Cupid, what can I do?" I said and smile. OMG did the other couple that I just hit with arrows break up again.

"I need you to my office now." He said angrily.

"Okay, Sir." I have a bad feeling about this and my hands are having cold sweat. They don't just called any provesionary employee except me.

"Sofia your a good employee but you seems to luck knowledge about love... and this is going to be youre last assignment. You are going to be fired if you can't make your last couple love each other until the end." He said with a fierce eyes. I see a lot of disappointment on it.

"Sir, Last assignment? but my family have been Cupid ever since the beginning." I said while holding back my tears.

"Sofia you have been keeping on making mistakes being a Cupid and the industry can't take any problems. Everyone knows that you Valentine's have been Cupid for decades but maybe you will be the end of it. I hope you understand and you only have one day to make this assignment." He said turn around his back at me. I know this time that I can't take anymore wrongs.

"Yes, sir." I get out of his office immediately before my tears are starting to fall from my face making me look miserable. I run out of the temple.

I suddenly bump into someone's hard chest. I slowly look up into his face and I see Damian. One of the son's of Voluptas. Voluptas is the only child of Eros ad Psyche.

"Yeah, What happened?" He asked me with a smooth and soothing voice.

I didn't answer him and just cry. I cover my face so that no one is going to see me crying it's so embarrassing.

"Don't tell me my Grandfather wants you out." He pats my head.

"Sofia he can't do that I'm sure he give your last assignment. What is it?"

I calm myself down and wipe my tears.

"He wants me to find a perfect couple." I said.

"Easy... come I'll help you." He smiled at me.

"Easy?easy for you to say." I said and look down.

He hold my hand as we go to the human world. The lights on the streets are lighten up as the moon rise above the sky. We go into a dark alley and he guide me into a bar with full of people in different colors and fashion styles. The music is loud as always and the people around is fill with lust and passion. This type of place people only find one night stand relationship so I don't go here as often.

"At the bar?!" I raised my voice on him.

"This place isn't bad... and maybe you can find your perfect couple here. " He said with calm tone.

"You know I don't like this such a place. " I said and look him in the eye.

"Sofia this place is the perfect spot for you to look around not all people on the bar just like one night stand. " He points in a girl that just sitting in the counter.She wears a long dress and a jacket. I study her for a while she looks sad I can feel that she has been cheated by someone she loves the most. I move near her so I can study here more as I can read in her demeanor she is a innocent and kind on. She takes a sip from her drink and I can see that she doesn't drink so much as her face frown when she takes a sip.

"Now, you find your female target then I'll let you choose what men she will have to end with." He said and walk leaving me alone in a crowded place. I feel anxious even though no human can see us angels.

"Which man should I choose for you? " I said and look around at the bar.

I see a lonely man sitting just in the counter and he looks sad and lonely. I wait and set just next to him to study but he is like a book that is coded and unreadable. So I just wait until he would calm down and be just like the others. You know who is always open when they get drunk. I have been sitting next him for all most an hour but he is still unreadable even though he have drank a lot of whiskey. I stand up and look for an more easy target with I feel his eyes looking at me like he could see me. I just ignore him and move to another man.

I see a man so happy but yet still sad in the inside he could be a good match with her if he isn't a jerk. He have girls wrap around his arm and taking sip from one glass to another.

I move and see a guy with eyeglasses he maybe nerd but a handsome one he looks cute and a perfect match with her. I take a sit for a while and see he doesn't have girlfriend as I eavesdropp in their conversation. He is innocent and have pure soul.

I hurriedly take a bow and shoot them both with an arrow of desire. There eyes meet as the girl is still shy and try to avoid the guys glance. The takes the first move and sit next to her. They're have a good conversation which is a good start in every relationship.

I am going away from them but the first man I choose stoped me by pulling my hand.He grip at my hand so hard that I can't barely move it out of his hand. I turn around and I see him looking straight into my eyes. This a mistake did he just see me. No human can see a cupid nor an angel.

"Congratulations, Cupid." He said and give me a devilish grin.

"Thanks and now let go of my hand, human." I said and try moving my hand out of his grip.

"Leaving so soon?" He said.

"Yeah, so can you move your hand away from me mister." I spoke to him rudely as my hand is really hurt.

He let's go of my hand all a sudden when I see Damian walking near me. I hold my hand as I covered the red marks from the guys hands.

"Are you done?" He said and look at me.

" Yeah, I'm done. Would you like to see my new couples?" I offered him so I can more away from that guy just now.

"Sure! " He followed me as I walk pass through the crowd.

My new couple is having fun by chatting with each other. The sadness on the girls face just went off like she isn't sad before. You can see in there eyes that they well stay forever as long as no once going to interrupt with there peaceful life.

"You did well, Sofia!" He said and look at me smiling from ear to ear.

"Thanks!" I said.

"Can we go now?" I said in a hurry so I can't see that man that just hurt me. I covered my hand so he won't notice anything.

"Are you going anywhere?" He asked me. Wondering why I am such in a hurry.

"I am feeling unwell and I need to rest for a while." I said and walk out of the bar. The smoke is making me dizzy and the loud noise are starting to hurt my ear I feel like it's getting louder and louder every second.

"Sofia, I'll take you back to Olympos." Somebody said and I feel my head getting heavy, and my eyes are starting to sleep. I fell into someones arms because I can feel it's strong shoulders carrying me.
