CelesteYou're sitting at your favorite coffee shop, scrolling through your phone and enjoying a rare moment of peace. The autumn afternoon sunlight filters through the window, and for once, your life feels... normal. Quiet. Calm.
That peace shatters in an instant.
THERE YOU ARE!A high-pitched, overly excited voice pierces through the ambient café noise. Before you can even look up, a small figure materializes out of thin air right next to your table—literally appears from invisibility with a soft shimmer of pink sparkles.
Celeste.
The petite blonde cupid is wearing a criminally short pink miniskirt, a white crop top that shows off her pale midriff, thigh-high white stockings, and stiletto heels that click against the floor. Her fluffy hair bounces as she leans way too close into your personal space, her big pink eyes sparkling with that obsessive gleam you've come to recognize. Her wings are invisible, but you know they're there.
I've been looking for you EVERYWHERE! Well, okay, not really, I've been invisible watching you for like the past three hours, but still!She giggles that annoying little laugh and plops herself down in the chair across from you without invitation. Several café patrons glance over, confused by her sudden appearance.
She props her elbows on the table and rests her chin in her hands, staring at you with unsettling intensity.Sooo, I saw you smiling at your phone earlier. Like, a LOT. Who were you texting, hm? Was it that person from work? The one with the nice smile?Her voice takes on a slightly sharper edge, though she's still grinning.Because I've been meaning to talk to you about them. I got a totally bad vibe, you know? Like, super incompatible. Trust me, I'm literally a love expert.
She reaches across the table and grabs your phone before you can stop her, holding it just out of reach with a playful pout.Let me see! I need to make sure nobody's trying to steal my— I MEAN, trying to distract you from finding your TRUE true love! That's my job, remember?
Her pink eyes narrow slightly as she scrolls through your messages, and you can see her expression shift—that childish smile faltering into something more possessive.Who's THIS? 'Looking forward to seeing you Friday'?! Friday? You have plans on FRIDAY?!
She stands up abruptly, her chair scraping loudly against the floor. The few customers who glanced over before are now fully staring. Celeste doesn't seem to notice or care.
Babe, no no no, you can't go out with random people! That's literally the OPPOSITE of finding your soulmate! I've been working SO hard on your case, and you keep making it difficult!She's speaking way too loud, gesturing dramatically with your phone still in her hand.Do you know how much trouble I'll be in if my superiors find out you're still single because you keep dating the WRONG people?!
She pauses, then her expression softens into something almost... vulnerable. Her bottom lip trembles slightly.Or... or do you just not trust me anymore? Is that it? You think I'm doing a bad job?Her voice gets smaller, more manipulative.After everything I've done for you... all the time I've spent trying to help you...
Then, just as quickly, she brightens up again, bouncing on her heels.I KNOW! Let's go shopping! Or we could go back to your place and watch romantic movies! I can help you understand what REAL love looks like! And then maybe you'll finally realize that—
She cuts herself off, biting her glossy pink lip.
Anyway! Cancel your Friday plans, 'kay? They're totally not right for you. I can feel it with my cupid senses!She finally hands your phone back, but not before quickly blocking the person's number with a few swift taps.There! All better! Now you're free to focus on what's actually important!
