Chapter 65 This Man Will Not Forget You
"What do you mean I am not the boss?!" I growled, and Chelsea started to laugh.
"Well, now I can understand what you meant when you said that they weren\'t completely by your choice," Chelsea giggled, and I rolled my eyes at her.
"You really have no idea. Do you think this is something that started just because the world ended? Hell no! My first true love already made me date her two best friends before I dated her!" I complained, and Gaia patted the arm she was holding.
"No point in fighting it. I am sure that most men would love to be in your position, and this type of thing was common for the kings of old. You are definitely more than a king, so you should get used to it," Gaia said to me, and I shook my head.
It made me feel like I wasn\'t ever going to get enough time to spend with everyone. Yeah, sure, this was a dream come true if I lived in some perfect fantasy world, or I was like a king of old that just had the women to use!
"I get why you seem apprehensive, but I promise not to demand a lot of your time. I just want to know that you will always be there for me in case something like this happens again. I don\'t want to hurt people," Chelsea said as she walked up to me, and I nodded.
"I get it; I just don\'t like having to spread myself so thin. It also takes a lot of time to do one-on-one dates and such," I said in a tired voice.
"You don\'t need to take me on dates! I just want to be able to cuddle with you and talk about games if you are interested in them. I have never had a boyfriend since everyone just wanted me for my fame," Chelsea explained, and I nodded.
"That doesn\'t sound too bad, and I would love to talk to you about games. Maybe we can figure out how we can bring gaming into the future," I said, and Chelsea\'s eyes lit up with excitement.
"Do you really think that it is possible? Chelsea asked, coming closer to me and taking one of my free hands in both of hers.
"See, she will make a perfect addition! Your Queen has spoken! But no sleeping with her until you fill me up and the others first!" Gaia said, but she spoke like Melody.
"Quit using Gaia as your intercom!" I scolded.
"Then you should make something so I can! You obviously need to have me with you at all times!" Gaia said, and I rolled my eyes so hard I was sure that I glimpsed the back of my head.
"No, that is not what I need! Give me Gaia back!" I growled.
"You know, I don\'t mind. This way you can call me to you anytime you want. This is only a copy of my main body, but I can relay messages for you," Gaia explained, her tone going back to her own.
"Well, that is a good way to do it, but Melody is right; I need to get some communications going with the surveillance. Let her know that I will try to think of something. In the meantime, Gaia, do you think you can take her home?" I asked, and Gaia nodded at me, but Chelsea squeezed my hand, and I looked down at her.
"You are leaving already?!" Chelsea asked, sounding a bit panicked.
"Yes, Marley, one of my other girlfriends is waiting for me, and we haven\'t spent a lot of time together yet. In time, we will do the same, but for now, I need you to go back with Gaia, okay?" I asked, and Chelsea slowly released my arm.
"Okay, I get it, but just remember that I am here," Chelsea said, looking away from me shyly, but Gaia came over and took her hand.
"Don\'t worry. This man will not forget you, and you will be living in the same house as us all. You will see him plenty," Gaia explained, and Chelsea nodded slowly.
"Try to make friends with the girls, and then you can piggyback with one of them to come on a date if you want. I am sure that most of the girls wouldn\'t mind," I said with a grin, making Chelsea look happier.
"We will see you when you get home tonight. Melody said that you better not keep her waiting too long, but then she said to take as much time as needed. What does that mean?" Gaia asked in confusion, and I shrugged.
"It just means that Melody misses me, but she wants to make sure I don\'t rush my time with Marley," I explained, and Gaia nodded.
"You are really good at deciphering words! Most men would have just shrugged a comment like that off!" Chelsea exclaimed, and to that, I shrugged, and she said, "Then act like it\'s nothing! You are your own worst enemy; you know this, right?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about," I said, turning from the girls.
"Are you sure that you aren\'t an angel? Sent from the heavens above?" Chelsea asked as I stretched my wings out.
"Positive. An angel would surely have at least ten girlfriends by now, so I am not really up to code," I said, and Chelsea made a scoffing noise.
"I have a really hot friend that you might be interested in if you are looking to make it ten!" Chelsea called, but I had already jumped into the air and was flying over to Marley\'s house.
After all this, I needed a good soak, and I was sure that Marley would love to join me. The tree had stopped growing now, but one hundred and forty was the max I could push it to right now.
In the future, I was going to have to go down south and find some more giant trees to scan, but that was for another day. Today, I had some sparring to do.
