Forty-eight. Ice cream
Monalissa and Ezekiel sat on a bench at the hospital gardens. They were oblivious of the pact that has been made on them. Ezekiel contacted one of his bodyguards and sent them on an errand discreetly.
Few minutes later, Louis arrived at the gardens with two shopping bags. Monalissa looked at him with confusion. She couldn't ask because she knew her place.
Ezekiel took one of the bags and handed it to Monalissa and held unto the other one. Louis stood by the side and continued his duty of guarding them. Monalissa felt something chilly on her lap and looked down. It was the shopping bag that Louis was holding just now but why was it on her lap? Did he get something for her?
"Open it and eat it", he said stiffly.
Monalissa looked at him and then at the bag. She opened the bag and saw a plate of ice cream. She arched a brow and looked at him.
"Master...", she called in a mutter
"Eat it. Or don't you want it?", he asked coldly.
Monalissa looked at the ice cream and chuckled lightly. She was just saying it. She didn't really mean it. She didn't even mean it.
She opened it and began eating it. The moment she put tr first spoon into her mouth, the iciness filled her mouth and engulfed her senses. At Winter walls, it was occasionally that they got to eat ice creams. And it was their mother that always got it for them. She didn't expect this devil to get her one as well.
She sniffled catching his attention. Ezekiel arched a brow.
"Is it so good that it makes you cry?"
She shook her head an looked up at him. "Thank you master", she appreciated.
Ezekiel was taken aback. Did the ice cream mean so much to her?
"I'm just happy to eat it again".
Ezekiel didn't know what to reply and just did "Mhmm" to what she said. Subconsciously, his eyes darted to her mouth that was eating the ice cream. Her lips were a little swollen due to the iciness and there were ice cream stains on her lips. Ezekiel felt his body spark with want. He wanted to taste those lips again and again. What has come over him?
"Here", she said and directed a spoonful of the ice cream to him. "Bet you don't also eat ice creams as well. This is an opportunity".
"Walker, I can get myself ice cream if I wanted to. I don't need you to feed me".
"I'm not feeding you master. I'm giving you the ice cream".
Ezekiel scoffed. "Funny logic".
Monalissa shrugged and put the ice cream into her mouth. Suddenly, she felt her head whip to the side and those firm lips cover hers. They were warm on her cold lips.
Ezekiel pushed his tongue into hers and took the ice cream from her mouth. Monalissa's eyes widened as her face underwent many shades of red.
Louis whi was standing at their side was flabbergasted at the sight. He kept his face and eyes straight as though he couldn't see anything.
When he was done licking the ice cream from her mouth, he released her lips. Monalissa didn't even know how to react.
"Continue eating it", he said.
"Y...y...yes mas... master", she stuttered.
Ezekiel noticed her red face and smiled slightly.
Elena got to the east side at dusk of that day. She arrived at her main destination, Diamond villa. It was a villa purchased by Elijah to keep the person she was coming to see.
Elena opened the house and walked in. Her pointed heels clicked on the tiled floor noisily but she didn't seem to care.
"Madam Pia, I'm here", she announced, her voice loud enough, echoing throughout the whole place.
The woman who was known as Madam Pia quivered in the room where she was. Her heart hammered in her chest.
"You don't want me to repeat myself again?",Elena said in a taunting manner.
Madam Pia walked out from the room she was staying in. She was dressed in a simple floral dress and her hair was tied in a bun.
"Elena", she called when she came out.
"I see you're doing well?", she asked with a dubious smile. "Why don't you come down let's have a chitchat?"
Madam Pia swallowed. "Alright. Let me get you some snacks".
Elena smiled. "You've become quite humble. That's nice".
Elena went to a seat and settled herself there.
Two minutes later, Madam Pia cam out of the kitchen with a little tray of cookies in hand and a bottle of wine. Elena smiled and readied herself for the meal.
"I wasn't expecting you", Madam Pia said as she poured the wine into the wine glass. She drank a mouthful and handed Elena the glass.
Elena smiled at how respectful the woman was being. Elijah really did humble her. Ever since that incident...
"You never expect me Madam Pia". She plopped a cookie into her mouth and chewed on it. "You'll be leaving with me tonight".
The woman gave a start. "Why? Did I do something wrong?"
Elena scoffed. "You did everything wrong the day you plotted that shit against him".
Madam Pia sighed. "The Don guy might find you, very soon, though he doesn't know you're alive. The boss wants you back ".
Madam Pia swallowed hard. She didn't want to find Ezekiel. She didn't want to meet him yet at least not now.
"Okay. I'll go with you", she said.
"You'll be staying at the organization. Make yourself useful when you get there".
"Yes, I understand ".
