Chapter 248: Call my name [1/2]
Unless you received the information directly it was hard to grasp. Normally, this was not a problem. When {Fates} were given through blood, once the recipient knew the activation keyword, everything else was automatic.
Saliva was even better, because how to use the {Fate} was shared during the download. But currently, my saliva gave them {Limitless}. According to Bella, the download was quite concise.
"Honey, {Limitless} being locked to us is a given. The download was incredibly personal, it would make no sense to anyone else."
"Oh? What did the download say? Can you tell me?" I asked intrigued.
The Sirens all blushed as they avoided my questions. After a few moments, Jas stepped forward and proceeded to recite the download.
"This {Kismet} has only one purpose."
Suddenly, the Sirens continued in succession.
"This power joins all that I can give you," Bella said bashfully.
Robyn gleefully chirped, "I pray the Actives allow you to turn the tide of every battle."
"I hope the Passives will erase your weaknesses and enhance your strengths," Aki said solemnly like a prayer.
Jo then looked at me as she continued. "To the Siren who has this {Kismet}, please know how much I thank the heavens for bringing you to me."
"All I ask for you is that you let me love you and that you stay by my side," Liv explained as she touched her chest.
Lilly then roared proudly like a lioness. "Call my name and remember that I am with you. Always."
Then, as if they were performing on a stage. My girls revealed my innermost desires like clergymen in a Sunday sermon.
"This {Kismet} is called Limitless. For I am the one who has neither form nor limit, and I am the one who loves you the most."
"..."
What the fuck! The downloads I watched were like monotone commercials. Why the hell was the download for {Limitless} like that!
"Kya! Darling is too cute! He is embarrassed!"
"Master, the voice in the download was oozing with tenderness."
"It was the first time I was serenaded by a {Kismet}. Husband, I love you too."
Robyn then lunged at Jasmine, who harmlessly fended her off with an umbrella.
"Oy! Jas! That's cheating! We made a deal! None of this till after Sunday! Possum, you heard nothing!"
"Tsk, your an idiot Robyn, Aki already broke the deal! I saw what her lips said earlier," Jasmine complained.
"You're wrong Denel-san, I never said such a thing."
"Hmm, Robyn is surprisingly honest. In my opinion, Liv is the worse offender as she calls dearest 'my love' or 'beloved' which is basically a con."
"What?! Lilly! I asked the Sirens before the agreement was made! you all agreed! Do you southerners have no sense of honor!"
It seemed the girls had some kind of agreement, context wise, did it have something to do with confessing to me?
Now that I think about it. While they did say they wanted to stay with me, only Aki and Jasmine said they loved me.
I was wondering how to solve this situation when I felt something soft embrace me from behind. A sultry voice full of charm said words that would make any man shiver.
"Darling, I love you. More than words can ever say. I have waited for you all my life. Thank you for saving me that day. Thank you for giving me peace. I love you, darling.
And thank you for loving someone like me."
When I tried to turn around, her arms tightened around me as if telling me to stay still.
"Please don't. It took all my courage to say those words. Don't look at me. Just stay like this. Just for a few moments."
Awkwardly, I remained where I was, not sure how to react. My {Kismet} was basically proposing in my place. While they all said they loved me as a group, none of them except Aki, Jas and now Jo took the time to tell me directly alone.
The effect of receiving an individual confession was different. While the others were arguing, my heart grew full from the words Jo spoke. My collar was suddenly pulled down by a petite woman.
A Brazilian bombshell gave me a quick kiss before she spoke. Her eyes were quivering while her cheeks were as red as a tomato.
"Before all hell breaks loose, I will go as well. Mr. Code. I love you. I have ever since the enlistment. I may be the weakest one here, but all that I am, I am offering to you.
To answer your proposal in {Limitless}. I vow to stay by your side from this day until hell bursts open and the day I breathe my last."
"Bella, I..."
My wife then placed her small forefinger on my lips.
"Don't. I already know. Honey, you have no idea how overwhelming the {Limitless} download was. I can't take any more. I might get greedy. Let's talk about this some other time."
I nodded, closing my mouth. Bella then took my hands in hers, our fingers intertwined like lovers, forming a single whole. The Brazilian then took our hands and brought them to her lips. She then kissed them tenderly, which made me feel a little embarrassed.
Another set of fingers intertwined with mine on my other hand. When I tried to turn around, Jo stopped me, chastising me adorably for my rashness.
"Darling! Face front! I told you, right? Not yet, I..."
Suddenly, Jo stopped talking and looked outside. Her next words silenced everyone in the room.
"Quiet, Ma and Pa are back, the White Guard as well."
There was still a lot to talk about. But the girls, like me, wanted to keep the Simmons safe. As if by unspoken agreement, they all began cleaning up the furniture that had been knocked over by the test.
A few seconds later, my 2nd family returned with food. Noelle forced everyone to sit down for family lunch, not accepting any refusals. It was a little crowded, but I don't think anyone minded.
I was surprised to see how much food Noelle had bought. But when I thought we wouldn't be able to finish it, I became alarmed at how much the Sirens ate. To put it in perspective, Noelle and Earl ordered a bunch of food, more than two dozen dishes to be exact.
