An hour later, I left my now new room and was on my way downstairs to meet Mr. Cutie pie. His image kept reflecting on my mind time to time and could not help getting excited. I had never seen such a pretty boy before and to add to it, he was shy and had even blushed earlier. His coloured cheeks almost made me want to keep patting them till they became scarlet but he was too dismissive. I guess it was because he had been affected by his boss's foul character. Anyways, I was there and I would not let that happen. My positive vibes could melt even the coldest ice so cutie pie would not be a problem.
The ding of the lift opening brought me back from my little fantasy. I walked out excitedly ready to execute my perfect plan but before that, I checked my outfit for the ninth time. I sure needed to do some shopping because everything that had been prepared, was nothing near to my taste. They were either black jeans and black shirts or long black gowns. I had no choice but to put on the pyjamas that were barely white, black overshadowed them. I breathed out heavily shaking my head disapprovingly with the whoever ordered such clothes, then proceeded towards the living room.
After half a minute of scanning the area, I could not see a single soul. But then, I remembered something cutie pie told me earlier. Giggling silently, I rushed to the kitchen which was not that hard to find, and there stood cutie pie.
"Cutie pie! I knew I would find you here." I shrieked enjoying how he froze in shock before turning towards me like a robot. I waved my hand at him smiling like never before but the young man in front of me seemed to have been electrocuted. His mouth opened a little but he was unable to say a word, as he looked at me from head to toe with a confused look.
"Oh, don't mind the clothes. I couldn't find anything to my liking so I just wore this one," I explained guessing the look in his eye.
He nodded but then turned away without a word. I pursed my lips being ignored by him but my mind was made up to make him fall into my trap. I would pursue him till he accepted the offer of being my boyfriend. Invisible stars shone in my eyes with the thought of being able to hold his cute face into my palms. I wanted to pinch them until they were filled with colours.
"Cutie pie, what are you doing? Can I help?" I whispered standing behind him. I could not see over him due to my short height.
"Am already done, Miss. It's not appropriate for you to be here. Please wait in the dining table for me to serve your dinner," he finally said his backside facing me.
"It's okay. I can help with anything. Here, lemme take the chicken soup on dining table and you bring the rest," I was about to take the soup but he held my hand, then released it blushing. What a cute baby he was. I was over to the moon and almost wanted to cap his cheeks in my arms.
"Miss, please don't cause trouble. Let me do my work," he seemed a bit colder and distant, as if wary of something. What else could it be except his ice cube boss. I rolled my eyes and scoffed thinking of that man. I might have been out of my mind for even kissing him earlier. I brushed him off my mind not intending to ruin my mood.
"I won't cause any trouble for you. I'll take this slowly to the table and you bring the rest, easy sneezy." Without waiting for his response, I took the bowl of soup and dashed out of the kitchen.
"Slowly, Miss," I could hear him shouting from the kitchen worriedly. I smiled thinking he was finally starting to notice and care about me.
On my way to the dining table, I was whistling a tune happily that I was not sure I had heard it before. I had done so a couple of times before but I had thought maybe it was a song I knew from my lost memories.
After placing the soup on the table, I held my waist plotting how to execute my plan. Upon deep contemplation, I made the perfect plan. I turned around and was about to run back to the kitchen when my head collided with a strong figure. My eyes started to feel itchy as tears welled in them.
"Bloody hell!"
"Watch your steps!" It was Alaric. Of course, my cutie wouldn't be blind and with such a hard chest.
"Are you made of cement? It hurts, man... And why were you standing behind me? What are you even doing here?" I narrowed my eyes but the pain increased, as I let out a hiss annoyed.
"This is 'My' house." I could not miss the emphasis on the my but just scoffed as I rolled my eyes looking away from him.
Another pair of footsteps caught my attention. I leaned my head sideway looking beside Alaric's body that was blinding my view. I caught cutie pie's approaching figure, with two bowls of food in his hands and immediately pushed away the annoying man from my way walking towards cutie pie.
"Let me help you," I grabbed one bowl from his hand smiling cutely yet shyly and walked away before he could retort.
I took a seat after placing the food down, and someone pulled a chair beside me. I lowered my eyes shyly while a beautiful smile found my lips. Slowly, I raised my head looking at the person but my mood fell immediately seeing ice cube sitting beside me.
"Boss, you are here?" Cutie pie spoke and I turned towards his voice and he was standing opposite us, arranging the plates. I could detect the surprise in his voice just like I was before. Maybe cutie pie also had the same plan as me, spending the time together?
"Am I not supposed to be?" I almost wanted to shout yes but as he had said earlier, it was his house. How I wished to steal my cutie pie and take him away from this cold empty house. I would surely do so one day.
"I didn't mean that, boss." Cutie pie lowered his head fearfully making my poor heart break. How dare this ice cube bully my sweet cutie pie? I was about to reprimand him when I saw cutie pie walking away from the table.
"Cutie pie, where are you... going?" The last word was barely a whisper as the man sitting beside me spat out the water he was drinking, and gazed at me with a look I did not care to interpret. "What's with you?" I questioned confused.
"What did you just call him?" His voice was a bit hoarse, as he wiped his wet lips, his other hand pointed towards cutie pie.
"Oh, that." I dragged my voice smiling blushingly. "Cutie pie. Isn't he cute? You agree with me, right? Of course, yes. Stupid me. Look at his cheeks, I feel like pinching them since I saw him but he won't let me. Now am pursuing him relentlessly but he won't give in... Why are you making that face? Oh, I see. You feel bad for me too. But don't worry, I know how to seduce..."
"If you utter another word I swear am going to fucking kill you!" And I went silent but then. "Are you jealous of me?" My mouth could not just keep silent, so, that night, I had to sleep with an empty stomach just because that jealous man wanted to punish me.
