76. A Petty Man. *
Our room for the night was just as rich and fancy looking as the the outside. Although the bed wasn't as comfortable as ours but it is just one night.
" She seemed nice to me Lady Yelena. "
" I know how much you want to be on good terms with her love, but let's just wait until tomorrow. "
He went straight for the bed and layed across with Anna jumping on him right after he settled.
" Sweetie let dad sleep.."
" I'm okay love, let's go and eat something at Joblin. We can say hello to Rosemarie. " - he lifted her up in the air before nimbly getting back up delighted her doing so.
He handed her to me and stretched. " I just need a cold bath. "
He went in search of one, most likely just ask Carlos to blast him once.
We packed the little we brought out. The furniture was very well made, with various symbols all contained a big E in the middle like on handles and even carved on the side.
We went outside soon enough seeing Zephyr speaking to some girl, who was a blushing mess and drooling over him. He smiled politely and shook his head. Then the girl nodded fiercely and ran away.
Tch, tch..
" Who the hell was that!? " - I let Anna down and poked his head.
He seemed to be in good spirits, and I couldn't tell if its from what she said or my reaction to her.
" Her?..oh she is just Lovely."
He looked after her direction and I placed a nice kick aiming for his stomach but, only kicked the air. I got picked up from behind and heard Anna laughing before, I was spun around.
"..I love it.. when.. you.. jealous. You should do it more. "
He kissed with each word teasing my lips, biting it..good distraction.
" I used to..all the time, but it turned into a full time job. You never get jealous so.."
" R- right.."
He looked guilty and aroused my interest.
I grabbed his face and turned it towards me.
" Tell me..what did you do? "
He seemed reluctant to tell me.
" Nothing love. I just agreed to the.."
The girl returned accompanied by several others in similar outfits. She carried a bucket of water and the rest of them stopped some distance behind her.
" Thank you Lovely.. "
She spilled half of it from receiving a normal smile from him. She my age but...looking at her chest..she seemed more mature.
I pinched Zephyr side harder than intended but nothing. He smiled the same smile at her.
" It's a an honor Zephyr. If you need a-anything else I'll be close. My Lady.."
She tilted her head forward towards me quickly and ran to her coworkers watching us.
" Okay...what is happening !?"
He flashed a happy smile before telling us.
" Well.."
" Dad can I go play with Ciren?..I'm bored."
" Well of course, but me and your mother will be off for an hour. So be good and ..don't hurt the other kids. They not as strong as you princess..."
He looked at me while explaining the rules and looked like and evil man planning something.
"..ask the lady who brought me the water...call her..Lovely. "
She went towards the maid and he returned to me with a shit eating grin. I was close to start swinging this time instead of a kick.
" Okay calm now ..her name is Lovely Anees Em. She is a niece of Carlos not a servant. She just dress .." - he gave a strange smile looking at her direction. " ..well like them, for some reason.
Never asked. "
I looked back at the girl taking Anna by the hand ..she did wore similar dress like the others but looked different.
More dignified and elegant. I guess Zephyr just makes women look all flustered and fidgety.
" Ohh well I..YOU.. play entirely too much Zephyr! "
He laughed at my outburst and pulled in close.
" It was a unique opportunity.. what was I supposed to do? Wait until she accidentally introduced herself..alright!..okay..let's stop before you get hurt..lightweight."
It made wanna hit him at least one time that much more!!
He evaded my kicks and when he decided I was done ..locked in his arms around me immobilized my body.
" You kept your training up? Ohh...Lightweight Lylly at her best." - I felt his lips on neck.
" If that stupid nickname stuck..ooon..hmm.."
I felt his member pushed hard against me and looked around, after seeing no one.. leaned into him and rubbed hard against it..fuck..I miss it so much.
He slid his hand inside me and I almost came there and then. I wanted to him to go further but ..
" We got to get going. " - he stepped away abruptly the turned back confused. "..you okay love? Yep yep..oh here we go again."
My clumsy attempt to hurt him continued.
Bastard..playing with me. Make me think I lose my mind?
" I knew you were That petty..you mad at me for yesterday. It was all on purpose!! "
He blocked my kick..but very gently. Jerk..
" Of course I am..I mean what were you thinking? "
He grabbed my jab and turned me again...I felt it again pushed against me.
" It feels pretty clear to me, you need more training..can't you tell?
Hell,yeah I can...
" ..So after you apologised..we good to go."
Hell no...
My annoyance almost erased my dirty thoughts..
I APOLOGISED!??
" I APOLOGISE!?? UGHH COME HERE!! "
" Alright..put some of your wheight into it now! "
---
We were walking hand in hand but still in a fight.
He refused to apologise for his antics and dared to demand one from me. We arrived at an impasse and I won't budge!
The Jobil Inn was as less busy considering it wasn't even high noon.
Rosemarie looked bored wiping the dust of some bottles.She looked up hearing the door and right at us coming in and her smile bloomed like a flower.
" The future Astoria family. Zephyr you become a regular quickly.. "
A regular?
" Well Rose your mushroom gratin is good enough to forget..how rare, to find really good food these days..and those who can make them. "
Oh good foods and those who blah blah blah..Good one idiot.
" Hey Rosemarie. We just came to say hello."
She took us to a table and brought some breakfast eggs,bread and ham. Some water and milk and took a seat herself listening to our stories.
" Dinner at Lord's Em house and your daughter turning 6 right? I remember you telling me last week..." - she lowered her voice. " Zephyr, I also heard new developments about the war. "
He leaned closer and I followed wanted to hear how he spent his time in here...alone..without me..just add it to list for things I need to hurt him for.
" Karta is on the march.. they haven't announced it to the people yet but, the guards are opened up after a few free drinks and spilled it. " - her eyes looked calm, war was nothing new with our neighbouring countries.
" They will come from the north, scouts were despatched...you were right. "
He smiled with a strange glint in his eyes. I wanted ask so bad..but we were in an fight.
" Thank you Rose. You are as brave as your food is delicious. "
She waived the charming bastard off with a blushing face.
" Rosemarie come to Anna birthday party if you're not busy. Let Zephyr pick you up and you can spend the night at our home. " - I offered a sincere invite. " Even in our bed..I'll have no use for it anymore."
" Well okay..what ? "
" Don't mind her Rosemarie. Her back is stressing her out..darling you might prefer a park bench. "
Rosemarie raised her eyes at out tone. But, Zephyr had more to say.
"Besides...I never like that bed..too big..too many damn pillows. I mean who needs 12 pillows? " - he turned to her tilting his head. " Don't you hate them as well? "
" Y-you mean..pillows? "
She was lost completely now.
We stared at each other for while before gone back eating.
By the way, we only had ten now..idiot.
