[Flashback two days ago, continues]
Delilah's hands paused before she could get the fine piece of lady fingers, her body stilled as a manly reached for the same lady finger.
Her lips pursed. If there is something that she dislikes then it would be people trying to reach for things that she has stated the claim on.
Specially vegetables.
Never dare take those fresh veggies from her hand for they who dare shall be buried six feet underground.
She was a mother hen, alright!
And that that moment, she knew whoever has dared to touch those fress veggies, will be getting am earful.
But her body came into hault as her eyes clashed against the sapphire blue one.
Her body stilled and the hold on the lady finger losen. The words she wanted to say was long forgotten, for she was tongue-tied by the man infront of her.
In Black v-neck t-shirt and jeans, his eyes deep blue close to sapphire twinkling with mischief. His face sharp and and god like with five o'clock shadow covering his cheeks giving him more mature look.
His eyes has the power to destroy her soul and heal it at the same time.
Her stilled body moved at the speed of a sloth and that's when once her body came into realisation, it did what she thought was the best.
Uttering gibberish when on the very of breakdown.
She narrowed her eyes into slit, and flicked his hands with her index and forefinger.
"That's mine! I saw it and claimed it first." She had to clear her throat twice to stop herself from sounding her a squeaky chipmunk. But the lump that keep forming in her throat was hard to suppress. She tried to hold the lady finger to get a grip on herself.
"The last time I checked, this lady finger has no name tag in it. And the last time I checked , this is definitely not some vegetables auction for you to be baiting and claiming things."His firm hands gripped that fine piece of lady fingers, his eyes shining with amusement as his tall frame towered over her.
Her sense jumbled as she heard his voice.But she grabbed the other end of the lady finger and glared at him.
"Yes, it is an auction. Auction of vegetables where first come , first see, first get is the rule, and you," She paused and looked at him from head to toe, and scoffed,"came after me, saw it after me."
"So leave my lady finger and get anything else for yourself."
"But i touched it first."This smug bastard was finding it amusing yo fight with her.
Her eyes flashed and she, for a moment paused. Her body stilled before she cleared her throat and looked away.
Tapping her eyes hers gentally, she faced him again.
"So? I touched it first. I came here to get fresh veggies, not get into an argument with a man who doesn't even know what sin he is doing but stealing others veggie." She made a face and pulled the lady finger towards her.
"Thats mine, so leave it!"
"I would like to see you try."
That was all it took for her to lease the 'beast Lilah 2.0 ' that Jayden likes to call it. Her nostrils flared and she pulled the lady finger with all her might , almost snapping it into two.
"That lady finger is mine so leave and go home, kid." She almost winced internally, for he was anything but. The way his hands wrapped around the lady finger.
She gulped looking at those veins.
"I would have, but not seeing you fight, it quit the entertainment to let go."She could practically imagine him laugh internally.
"Leave the lady and the lady finger, you muggle!" And she pulled, do hard that the delicate lady finger broke into two.
Delilah gasped looking at the half lady finger in her hand, while the other on his.
"You did not just killed my lady finger!"She raised an accuseing finger and glared at him.
Her calm demeanor already shaken my his presence, and now he was hell bend on doing things she hated.
Like claiming her favourite vegetable, specially the one she choose.
Another flash passed throw her head, playing like a movie, her body pausing momentarily before she took a deep breath and glared at him again.
"Why can't you just select something else? There is literally five baskets full of lady finger!"
"Because I trust the judgement of a gentlewoman." Delilah's feeble attempt of holding the other half of the lady finger , faltered.
His gentle and calm voice did nothing but raise an avalanche in her brain.
✧✧ ͒ ͒✧✧
Theo blinked twice as he looked at the woman infront of him. Her face assessing his as if trying to search something.
Her hazel eyes held fire yet, he could see the vacent and emptiness in them.
"You can't just try to steal the veggie that I choose." The woman came out of whatever trance she was in and looked at him with the same fire.
Something about her felt different, and he wanted to laugh at how she held the other half of lady finger as if it was a sword.
She wasn't tiny, not she was very tall, she had a decent height but it was her face that held all the confidence.
And as he was in Marketing niche, he knew he could be a lot intimidating to people who just met him. But she, was very different, despite wavering once or twice she held her ground.
And it was now amusing and fun to see her nose turning red everytime he said something to rile her up.
Just when he was about to reply back, he heard a very familiar voice. He frowned at first and dismissed the thought.
"Listen—"Just before he could continue he heard the same voice and this time his eyes widened and he could she the similar reaction on the woman's face as well.
Before they turn and he heard a low gasp from the lady next to him.
