I think it's been a few minutes, I almost fell asleep after eating my heart out on the delicious meal when suddenly a soft knock appeared on the room's door. I slide into the comfy slippers and went ahead to unlock the door.
" ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข, young master wants you downstairs "' said Mr.Moreau
" why? " I asked
" I do not know that " he replied
" *๐ฎ๐ ๐ก* not again" I sighed
As quick as I could I rushed downstairs waiting for him to mock or piss me off again but he didn't. He looked up and down judging my schmatte dress. After a minute of painfully being judged he finally decided to break the scary silence.
" bring her along " he ordered a man next to him who was almost as tall as him
" sure " the man replied
"Bring me where? " I interrupted
"To get you some decent fits " the man replied
" what do you mean decent? My clothes are already decent" I protested, not once but twice, thrice or maybe a couple of times but this man didn't even flinch. To make things worse he took me to the largest Mall I've ever seen alone with him.
"Great, another debt worth millions added to your list of serenity. " I mumbled to myself. Maybe for a second, I was hallucinating but I think I saw Val smiling and it was breathtaking. Coming to think of it he was not so bad. He was dreamy, his jawline was too perfect to be real and his eyes...something about them just set my heart on the wildest fire everything I dived down a little deeper. If he weren't so grumpy and expensive, maybe, just maybe he and I could've been good friends.
" Are you done drooling over me? " said Val
" whatโ what? No! No! I was not...." I hesitated, I've always been a bad liar and now I'm busted
" then what we're you looking at? " he asked without moving his eyes from the file in his hand
" iโ I was looking atโ "
Before I could complete my sentence the driver hit the breaks so hard that I almost felt my soul pouring out of my body.
" HEY! Don't you know how to drive anymore? " Val yelled and I was in his embrace. His robust arms were wrapped around my waist and my back. scared, I clasped onto his back too and I could feel his heart thumping, a little, too fast. His palm was covering my head as if he wanted me to sink inside his chest. I couldn't hear a word from their conversation against that thumping heart that felt like mine. After a few minutes, he looked down at me who almost was half asleep.
" you are quite a big sleeper," he said with a smirk on his face.
" you can call me that, I have been too relaxed these days " I replied adjusting back to my seat
" about that, we are almost here," he said
"Who was that guy earlier, " I asked
" Dexter? He is my right-hand man and also my best friend, why? " he asked
"Just curious " I replied
"You are pretty curious, aren't you? " he said, mockingly.
" if I meet un-human people like yourself " I replied
" that is not even a word," he said
" you get it so doesn't matter " I replied
And we both were smiling, for instance, I thought he would do something lewd but he didn't, he was surprisingly....a good man. We chatted a lot until we reached our destination, Val said he had to make a phone call so I went in alone. I went inside the first clothing store I could find and started looking for a few outfits. I was still looking around when a woman as young as me but a little bigger approached me and snatched the dress from my hand.
" excuse me? " I asked
"This shop is not a charity event ma'am, please look out for outfits at the thrift store," she said out loud getting everyone's attention. I wanted to say something back but I knew I could not. She was right, I didn't have the amount of money to please these rich people's standards of luxury. The woman continued to mock me in front of everyone and just when I was around to leave, a hulking arm wrapped around my waist and uttered
" so, now you are going to tell my woman where to shop? " said Val
I looked up to find Val with the same ice-cold expression he had last night, which sent shivers down my spine, and not for a good reason but this time the ice felt warm, warm to only me. He took off his coat and put it aroused my shoulder, the coat was big enough to cover my thighs which made me blush. I was drowning in the minutes of affection that I did not notice anything until the woman begged me for forgiveness. I'm not good with being mad at someone for long so I forgave her but Val was not having it, he made the store manager fire the woman which was a little over the line. We got out of the store and I gathered up my courage to ask
" why did you do that? "
" do what? " Val asked
" stand up for me " I replied
"Because you are mine, no one else is allowed to bully you other than me " he replied in an instance that had my heart in a weird rush. The whole afternoon I was dreamy while he picked all the outfits for me and by the time we reached back it was already evening. Val left early due to something important work at his company and I was left alone once again
" well it was a good afternoon, after all, " I said to myself. I went inside carrying those thousand bags alone when Mr.Moreau suddenly appeared and took the lead.
" hey Mr.Moreau " I greeted
"Did you enjoy your trip with the young master? " he asked, politely
"Pretty much " I replied
" I'm guessing you must be starving," he asked
"Me? No, I don't eat often. Just one meal a day " I replied
" but that is very unhealthy " he said "You should eat oftenโ " he added
" I didn't want to change my habits, I'm not here for long, I don't want to taste luxury and then starve for it till death do me part " I interrupted his sentence with a bitter-sweet smile while heading to the room assigned for me. Maybe I was too harsh on Mr.Moreau because he went silent after that.
" I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be rude " I apologized
"No you weren't, ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข " he replied putting down all the bags on the floor of the room while two maids started arranging everything. Within an hour everything was assigned to its place and I could finally lie down and relax.
" good night, ๐ด๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข "
" good night Mr.Moreau "
