Sadie's POV
I open my eyes. Everyone was still asleep. I look down at Anubis. He wore a tank top, which he must've changed into after I had fallen asleep. I stared at the jackal tattoo on his arm. Even though he was a god and he'd lost his powers, he'd still managed to keep his muscle that he had. I wondered how that worked. Did gods get to choose how they looked or do they have some kind of gym? My eyes wondered from his shoulder up his neck to his face. Some of his black hair had fallen into his face. His ears had a slight point to them which was jackal like. I thought it was cute. After finding out he is Anubis, I notice how I should've known he was different. I move my eyes to his chest and watch his breathing. I know, for someone who hates Anubis for lying, I spend a lot of time looking at him. I couldn't help it. Anubis was an extremely hot guy. I mean, sure, the guys at the Brooklyn House are good looking. Walt, Sean, Julian, and Paul all played basketball a lot so they all had athletic builds. Anubis, he was different. His eyes brown and in the sunlight, they look like melting chocolate. My eyes wondered back to Anubis's face, specifically his lips. I loved how they felt on mine. Snap out of it Sadie! You're supposed to be mad at him. I close my eyes and open them again. I look over at my brother. He was still asleep. Zia's hand hung down off the bench and her fingertips touched Carter's hand. That's cute. Walt layed on his back with one hand on his abdomen and one behind his head. Jaz, was laying on her stomach and she used a sweater as a pillow with her hands tucked under it.
"Sadie," Anput says. "You're awake."
"I was surprised myself," I say. "I thought you would sneak in here and poison me in my sleep."
I look at Anput. Surprisingly, she wore a not so revealing outfit for once. She wore blue jeans with holes in them, black combat boots, and a white t-shirt, with a black leather jacket. Anput and Anubis's wedding rings hung on a chain around her neck. I wondered if she wore that outfit because it was similar to my outfits and she was trying to get Anubis to like her, again.
"I thought about it," Anput says. "Anubis, spent a lot of the night watching you sleep."
"How the hell do you know?" I ask.
"Camera's," Anput says pointing to the camera in the corner.
"They still work?" I ask.
"They do if you force a tech guy to fix them," Anput says. "It's not hard getting mortals to do things for me."
I rolled my eyes. Were all gods and goddesses like her? I knew they weren't, Thoth seemed like a nice guy. He reminded me of Carter, kind of nerdy, needs to socialize with people more. Then there was Anubis, I knew he had to be a good person to risk his powers for saving the magicians. Anubis did save my life. Anput walks away clearly, I wasn't the person she wanted to talk to. Most likely that was Anubis. I felt bad for Anubis, he used to love this girl who turns out is insane. He has a father who is evil. I didn't know much about Anubis. I know that he is the son of Set and Nephthys and that he was raised by Isis and Osiris. Horus was his cousin. I wasn't the mythology expert, that would be Amos, Julius, and Carter. My thoughts were interrupted by movement. Anubis had sat up. He stretched his arms. I look at his arms as he stretched. I then look into his eyes.
"Hey," He says.
"You missed your psychotic wife," I say.
"She's not my wife," He says. "She was, 500 years ago."
"I don't know what you ever saw in her," I say.
Anubis smiles. "Are you jealous?"
"Hell no," I say. "Why would I be jealous of her. She's insane."
"I could be wrong," Anubis says he gets up and sits next to me. "If you were, I'd say you'd have no reason to be jealous of Anput."
"And why would you tell me that?" I ask curiously.
Anubis smiles again. "She should be jealous of you, Sadie."
I looked at Anubis. His eyes had dark circles around them. Lack of sleep. "She told me that you were watching me sleep. Is that true?"
"I'm sorry," Anubis says. Anubis looks away. "I'm really not helping my case to fix things with you, am I?"
"I've been thinking a lot about what you did," I tell him.
"I'll never stop apologizing to you Sadie," Anubis says. "I lied to you. I should have told you. I was going to tell you. The day you told me you loved me. That's what was so important. I was going to tell you who I was. Then, you told me you loved me."
"What did you think would happen?" I ask. "That I take it back as soon as you told me you were Anubis."
"I was scared to lose you," Anubis says. "I've lost a lot in my life. I wasn't raised by my parents. I'm not a warrior like my cousin. I'm just a death god. I weigh souls and determine which ones get to go to the afterlife and who get devoured by Ammit. You were the first thing that I found, that I didn't want to lose. You took me in when I was lost."
"I judge you for lying to me," I say. "I try to think what I would've done if I were put into your situation."
"What would you have done?" He asks tilting his head. I don't think he realizes that he does that.
"I probably would've done the same thing," I finally say. "So, I shouldn't be mad at you. I was just hurt, that you didn't trust me."
"I do trust you," Anubis says. "If I could change things, I would have told you who I was the first day that I met you. I'm sorry."
"You don't have to keep apologizing," I say.
"I do," Anubis says.
"You don't have to keep apologizing," I say. "Because I forgive you."
Anubis smiles. "Thank you, Sadie," He says. "I promise, I'll never lie to you again."
"Since were apologizing," I say. "I'm sorry, I could've handled that differently. I was just mad and I overreacted."
"I deserved it," Anubis says.
"You didn't," I say. "You were doing what you had to do to survive." Anubis puts a hand over mine. I pull mine away. "The person I fell in love with was Andrew. Not Anubis."
"You're right," Anubis says. "You knew Andrew and the past that I made up for him. That wasn't me, the real me." He holds out his hand. "I'm Anubis, it's nice to meet you."
I smile and shake his hand. "It's nice to meet you Anubis. I'm Sadie Kane."
We pull our hands away when we hear footsteps. Anput stood there. "Good news everyone!" she says. "Set has arrived!"
Another chapter in one day! Woooooo. There might be another one, not sure yet. If it's not up in a few hours I got tired and went to bed.
