Chapter 14 - Hidden plans

♡ ???'s POV ♡

"So how are you?" I asked the guy who was currently sitting on his couch, drinking his tea.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking my lady."

"Have you done what I told you to?" He turned to me, smiling.

"I did, but what are you going to do after that?" I smirked and chuckled. I know what I'm going to do, I just need to make sure it works...

"I know what I'm going to do, you just do your job well, don't let any mistakes happen." I had a plan for it, i will just have to talk to her about it and may it go smoothly.

"You know I never make mistakes, I'm the one who's doing all the work while you aren't even there to do anything you know."

"So what? At least we both will get what we want in the end so it's fair." I glared at the guy, just who does he think he is, I'm helping too right.

"Fine, whatever you say. When is it gonna start?"

"Whenever I'm ready..."

♡ Clover's POV ♡

Zeke has been in his room for the past few hours now, is he getting all embarrassed and shy after doing all that? I chuckled to myself, going over to the window, looking out.

The sky darkened and the clouds turned grey. I heard a tapping on the window and then it became a pitter-patter.

People ran for cover outside and umbrellas were opened as the clouds spat out their beads of water. Puddles began plinking as the rainfall became heavier.

The trees swayed as the wind blew, making ghostly like whistle that I hear.

I grabbed my phone, earpiece, a pillow and went to seat by the window. I listened to my music while staring out the window, looking at the droplets of rain water that slid down the window glass.

I would spend time at home like this when it rains. The rain, the sky, the stars, everything, I like it all...

Unconciously, the longer I got into the mood, I started singing the song, playing through my phone. "Your heart is what I hope to find~"

"I lose myself within your eyes~"

"Thank god I found someone like you~"

♡ Minutes later ♡

I jammed to the songs continuously to get my boredom out of the way. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt a heavy weight leaning against my back.

I peeked over my shoulders to see Zeke behind me with his head leaning on my back. I guess he decided to step out of his room huh, I chuckled lightly.

"Oh hey Zeke-"

"Continue..." Huh? Does he mean, continue my singing? I furrowed my eyebrows as I thought about it. I waited for the next song and sang it to him, maybe he'll get what I mean...

"Why don't you love me, touch me~"

"Tell me I'm your everything, the air you breathe~"

"And why don't you love me, baby~"

"Open up your heart tonight, cause I could be all that you need~"

I peeked over at Zeke again to see that he didn't move a inch. Did he fall asleep? I turned around slowly, to not wake him up, if he did fall asleep.

I held his head gently, placing it on my lap. I smiled, looking at him, who had his eyes closed. I looked closely at his features, he looked ever so peaceful when he sleeps.

I raised my hands to touch his silky smooth black hair and stroked it. If only we can be peaceful with one another without having short conversations, I wonder how would we be like?

"Why do you dislike me this much...? Why won't you love me?" I muttered out softly. I checked my phone for the time and it made me widened my eyes, I didn't know it was getting late.

I looked at Zeke, he definitely is asleep...how am I gonna bring him into his room like this. Then I thought of the suitable way to do it, well probably.

I got him off my lap and gently lifted his arm over my shoulders and tried to bring him into his room. Even up the stairs, his leg hitting every single step.

"Dang, his legs are giving me more weight to carry...but I don't think he'll feel the pain right?" Once we were in his room, I dropped him onto his bed while placing his blanket over him, turning on the aircon.

"Goodnight Zeke, sweet dreams~" I smiled, before closing the door. I headed back downstairs to water the little plant, that I left in the other basin.

"My little baby plant is growing hmm~" I grinned, seeing that the plant has been growing healthily. This is the third day...there's still, 11 more days till two weeks is complete.

Will there be any progress with us like how there's progress with the plant?

"I wonder..." I mumured. I got my things and turned off the lights before heading back up to the guest room.

♡ The next morning ♡

[ THURSDAY, 4TH DAY ]

I toss and turned, feeling uncomfortable somehow. I opened my eyes slightly to see that I wasn't on bed, Instead I was on the floor hugging a pillow.

I could hear shuffling noises coming from downstairs.

"Zeke's awake already...?" I got up from the floor and stretched my hands to relieve my back ache from sleeping on the floor.

I don't know how I even got onto the floor in the first place. Then I heard footsteps getting louder as it stopped outside the guest room.

I stood up from the floor, walking towards the door to open it but as I was about to lay my hand on the door handle, the door swung open with no warning. I stumbled backwards, falling to the ground as the door hit me.

"Oh your awake..." I looked at him with a sulky face as I rubbed my nose in pain.

"Yes, I'm awake already..."

"Breakfast is ready..." Zeke glanced at me, wanting to leave the room.

"Aren't you gonna help me up~?"

"You have legs for a reason..." I gave him my shimmering eyes, hoping that it would work. He walked back and helped me up, I took the chance and gave him a morning hug.

"Thank you and good morning~!" I smiled at Zeke, who was looking down at me. He didn't have much of a expression as he just stared at me with his cold gaze and straight face.

"Let go of me, I hate hugs..." He said, pushing me away from him, I looked as he made his way back back downstairs without looking back. I sighed and went to do my things.

"Ah...there's a bite mark." My fingers circled around the mark that Zeke did yesterday. I blushed thinking about it, I shook my head and went for a shower.

I felt fresh after having a shower, I took my bag and went down. I looked around the house and there was no sign of Zeke anywhere.

"Zeke?!" I called out but the silence replied back instead. Great, he left the house early again...I thought at least he would wait for me to get ready.

I looked down on the table, greeted with a nice simple sandwich, Zeke must have made it before he left. I took the sandwich with me, took my bag and went out of the house.

"Clover?"
