VINEET'S POV
When I looked up I was shocked to see the person in front of me. I even forgot the part where his tongue slipped while calling the beast's name.
Seeing him here, I couldn't stop myself but ask.
-----------------------------------------
(NEET)
What the hell are you doing here?
(DREW)
I should be asking the same thing boss.
-----------------------------------------
He said while moving towards the door and closing it so that no one else can hear us talking.
-----------------------------------------
(NEET)
Don't call me boss, I don't like my friends calling that.
Now answer my question first.
(DREW)
Mr. Christian told me to work with Levias and inform him about his whereabouts.
(NEET)
Why did he want u to follow Levias and what's their relation?
-----------------------------------------
Well, you must be thinking about who is Mr. Christian.
Let me tell you that he is like a second father to me, he helped me to become the person I am today. He is one of the few persons with whom I feel safe. He always has my back and whenever I want something or to have something done he is the first person that is always willing to help. I will do anything to protect the ones close to me even if it means losing myself.
-----------------------------------------
(DREW)
*scratching the back of his neck*
I am not sure about that, it's been a year since I started working with Levias but I am not clear of their relation.
(NEET)
What type of work the bea... Ahm... I mean Levias do?
(DREW)
Sorry Neet, I can't tell u that.
But what are u doing here and do they know that u are...
-----------------------------------------
I quickly interrupted him before he can finish the sentence as you know we could be heard by anyone. It's said that the wall has ears so it's better to be careful 🙂 than being careless.
-----------------------------------------
NEET
No, they don't know the real me.
As for your first question I am here to find someone and clear some debts.
-----------------------------------------
I said the second part without looking at him cause I don't want to show my emotions. As for the debt I am talking about you all will found about it soon maybe.
I composed myself and looked him in the eye.
-----------------------------------------
NEET
You don't know me
DREW
*confused*
What?
NEET
I mean to say, when we are with Levias and others we have to show that we don't know each other cause I don't want to expose myself, at least not yet.
DREW
*nodding*
I understand.
NEET
Good, now tell me where are the girls?
DREW
Well, Levias is having some sort of discussion with them.
He sent me to give u some company in case u feel bored.
NEET
*rolling eyes *
More likely, to watch over me so that I won't investigate his house thoroughly.
DREW
*smirking*
Yeah, you can say that.
NEET
Anyways, How many people are living here?
DREW
About 100 I guess.
NEET
WOW!!!😮
-----------------------------------------
My moment of surprise was interrupted when his phone started ringing. Levias's name was flashing on the screen so I guess I am soon going downstairs.
After excusing himself, he went to the corner, not wanting me to listen to the conversation.
Guess what I will just eavesdrop.
Even though it's not a good thing but I will do it cause it might be related to me...
-----------------------------------------
DREW
She is with me
LEVIAS
...
DREW
Yeah
LEVIAS
....
DREW
We will be down in five minutes.
LEVIAS
.....
DREW
Ok
-----------------------------------------
With that, he ended the call.
Even though I couldn't figure out what Levias was saying,, that's ok cause anyways we will be meeting in 5 minutes as Drew said on phone.
-----------------------------------------
DREW
*turning to Neet*
I guess that's the cue, the moment we leave the room we will be strangers.
NEET
Yeah...
-----------------------------------------
I went towards him and gave him a tight hug.
At first, he didn't hug back but after a few seconds, he hugged back.
-----------------------------------------
DREW
We will meet often so don't get so mushy.
-----------------------------------------
I just nodded, stepped back, turned, and moved towards the door.
It's a good feeling when we meet old friends.
The way I was talking and hugging him I show this side only to those who are my true friends.
Many people want to befriend me cause of my wealth but my people are the only one who stays by my side in every turn of life.
Sighing I stepped out of the room and followed him to where the others were. The moment we came out of the room we were strangers.
I heard several voices coming from what I can guess was the living room.
I didn't understand most of the parts but I heard my name being used in the convo.
The instant they saw us or mainly me they stopped talking and just sat watching me like I was some foreign object in their land.
There were two more boys about my age sitting next to Riley and Ethan.
The boy next to Riley was likely to be her sibling cause of their facial similarities.
The boy next to Ethan had grey-green eyes and he seemed easy to approach the guy but still, I can't say for sure.
-----------------------------------------
RILEY
WOW!! U look damn hot girl if I were a boy I would bang u😉
(...)
Oh my God!! I didn't know u were a lesbian, sis.
-----------------------------------------
When the guy said the lesbian thing everyone started laughing except Levias who was busy looking me up and down.
I shifted on my feet when I saw something in his eyes but it went as soon as it came.
If my guess was right it was lust.
No No No... why would he have that expression when he hates me, I am wrong.
I shake off the idea and looked at the new faces ignoring his heated stare.
-----------------------------------------
(.-.)
Let me introduce myself, young lady.
I am Draco and unfortunately Riley's brother.
(._.)
I am Alex and Ethan's, cousin.
I like what u are wearing *while winking*😉😉
NEET
Thank u and I am Vineet Wright. You can call me Neet.
JULIA
So I was thinking are you free this Saturday?
NEET
Yes.
RILEY
How about a sleepover that day?
NEET
Sure, why not?
JULIA
Please, it's just a..... What is seriously coming?
I thought you would reject it.
NEET
*chuckling*
Yes, I would love to come and why won't I accept nice offer?
RILEY
Well, you kind of ignored us in the class.
NEET
*awkwardly*
Sorry I am not good at making friends and most people in school ignore me or bullies me.
*while gulping*
-----------------------------------------
I said looking anywhere but them.
I felt arms around me and guess what these belonged to girls.
Warmth filled me and I felt guilty lying to them but it's for their good. I somehow convinced myself.
-----------------------------------------
JULIA
We will not allow anyone to bully you from now on.
RILEY
You will be sitting with us, so you are stuck with us.
NEET
Thank you.
-----------------------------------------
My eyes subconsciously went to Levias who had an unreadable expression on his face.
My phone started ringing and from the ringtone, I was sure it was my dear mommy.
I know childish but I still like calling her mommy.
-----------------------------------------
NEET
Excuse me, I will be back in 5 minutes.
*saying that I turned and walked to one of the corners*
(LUNA FATES)
Hello dear, How are you?
-----------------------------------------
It's been a year since I last heard her voice. Moisture filled my eyes but I blinked back the tears not wanting her to worry about me.
-----------------------------------------
NEET
I'm good mommy, what about you?
LUNA
I am very good. When are you planning to come back, we all miss you a lot?
-----------------------------------------
I haven't told my parents the real reason behind coming here. I just told them I need a vacation.
You all might be confused about who the hell is the real mom here? Well to say it clear Luna Fates is my real mom while Grace Wright is my godmother.
Grace Wright is my mom's best friend and she has looked after me a lot along with her husband who is my godfather, whenever my parents were on business trips or something like that.
-----------------------------------------
NEET
I might not be around for a year more, I have joined the school and it will not end till next year.
LUNA
That's bad but u can still visit us for a day or so.
-----------------------------------------
I can feel her longing to see me but she quickly composed herself and asked me to visit so that I won't feel bad. I really wanna go and visit them but I still have some unfinished business here that I have to deal with urgently.
-----------------------------------------
NEET
Sure your wish will be granted, my lady.
LUNA
*chuckling*
You haven't changed a bit.
MIA
Mommy...Mommy... talk to me.
-----------------------------------------
I heard the sweet voice of my princess desperate to talk to me and I too wanted to talk with her badly. I missed her. She is my sunshine and whenever I am down she knows how to cheer me up.
-----------------------------------------
LUNA
*chuckling*
Here comes your princess Neet.
NEET
Hey baby, how are you?
MIA
*sobbing*
Don't... u-u want mm-me?
-----------------------------------------
When I heard her sobs I felt pain in my heart. I can't see my daughter in tears it kills me inside. I didn't want her to be in danger cause of me that's why I didn't take her with me.
-----------------------------------------
NEET
No baby, who told u that?
Mommy will always love u.
MIA
Then why did u-u leave mm-me here?
NEET
Sorry baby, please forgive me.
MIA
On-only if u will let me co-come meet you.
LUNA
Let her come, Neet.
She still cries at night for you and it's very hard to calm her down.
-----------------------------------------
Listening to what mother said my heart softened.
I don't want my baby to cry cause of me so I guess...she is coming here and I have to double the security.
-----------------------------------------
NEET
She can come, I will arrange everything for her.
MIA
Love u, mommy, I am gonna pack quickly so that I can fly to u as soon as possible.
NEET
Love you more.
LUNA
I will send someone to accompany her so that u won't worry about her safety.
NEET
Thank you.
Take care of everyone and yourself too.
Don't work too much.
LUNA
Don't worry and take care of yourself and don't forget to eat properly.
NEET
Ok, mommy...
Bye, love ya.
-----------------------------------------
With that, I ended the call.
I guess I took more than 5 minutes. I walked back to where all were seated looking my way. In other words, it won't be bad to say that they were watching my every move.
-----------------------------------------
NEET
Sorry about that...
ALEX
No problem gorgeous 😉
NEET
Thank you for the clothes but I guess I will be going back now.
RILEY
Why? we didn't have fun yet.
NEET
Mom called and I have to go help her.
-----------------------------------------
I lied quite easily without biting my tongue.
All thanks to the years of practice.
I can't just tell them what work I am gonna do...
-----------------------------------------
JULIA
That's bad...
RILEY
Don't forget to come on Saturday.
NEET
I won't.
-----------------------------------------
We exchanged our numbers and I went "HOME TO HELP MOM" in the care they provided well the girls not Levias if u know what I mean.
-----------------------------------------
~NOTE IN NEET'S POV~
Mia is my twin sister's daughter who is not around us due to some reason.
Since Mia was a baby I have been taking care of her and when she grew up she started calling me mom.
I couldn't take her with me here (Country X) cause of work as I don't want to risk her life but I guess she will be staying with me till I go back to my real home in Country R.
Things about my work and sister are for another time to tell.
