Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

Bianca bid Jonah goodbye as he left the apartment, she sighed in relief and turned back to the male god cooking up her kitchen..

This was the first time she had seen him so concentrated on something..

Her lips made a little slant to the side which vanished completely when he raised his head to her…

She moved to stand by his side watching him chop the tomatoes skillfully, a look of surprise crossed her face..

Guys from rich home Cook? she questioned herself.. according to her research what they were always good at was flirting with girls, throwing lavish parties and drinking their guts out..

“So he’s just a neighbor right?” Xander asked pulling her attention back to him, she met his gaze with a confused expression..

“Uh.. you mean Jonah?”

He gave a firm nod..

“Oh.. yeah he is, but more like family..” she continued..

Xander sighed inwardly, for a moment there, he thought Jonah was probably a guy interested in her…

He ran the back of his palm over his left cheek feeling a bit hot in the kitchen..

“So.. from what I see right here, you do know your way around the kitchen.. who taught you how to? one of your girls?”

She questioned with a chuckle failing to see the sour expression which crawled up on his face, she reached for an eggplant on the kitchen island cluelessly..

“I thought we were over this..”

Bianca took a glance at him with a smile adorned on her lips..

“Over what? come on, you really didn’t take my words seriously or did you?”

He shook his head to her question, not today, he wasn’t going to tackle her on this one otherwise their small bond might be strained even more..

“My cousin did.. he’s a great cook”

“Oh, really?”

He gave a nod and snatched the eggplant from her grip..

“The kitchen is mine young miss.. why don’t you go do some girly stuffs, like curling your hair or polishing your nails?”

“Yeah.. I totally forgot.. umm you have a little something over here” She pointed to her cheek indicating a small piece of the lettuce he chopped earlier..

Xander touched his cheek but failed to remove the green on the side of his face.

“It’s right here.. hold on”

She helped to pinched the small piece of lettuce off his face and turned around leaving the kitchen all to him..

“Wow.. unbelievable” he whispered beneath his breath watching her back leaving..

Alexa grudgingly left the room after she was done with her shower, she sniffed the arm of the blue gown she had on..

It reeked of ‘cheapness’ and ‘low budget’ which she was allergic to, her beautiful collection of dresses must have been burnt in the fire..

“I thought you wouldn’t come out of the room, I was about to head up there”

Hardin’s mocking voice brought her out of her thoughts, startled, Her face reddened recalling the scene in the shower room half an hour ago..

“Shut up!” she seconded walking to the nearest couch in the living room..

Just when she was about to take a seat, a duster was thrown at her..

She caught it before it could hit her face, turning to the culprit, she hurled it back at him with an irritated glare..

“I’m not going to join your weird family’s cleaning day, it’s already bad enough that your grandma woke me up from my sleep so early..”

Hardin picked the duster off the ground and approached her slowly, his face was blank making it hard to know what he was about to do..NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Will you do it, or should I make you do it?” he questioned..

Alexa gulped down nervously, but she tried so hard to maintain her calm expression, make her do it? just like what he did this morning?

“Are you trying to scare me? believe me, my brother is a lot more scarier than you and I don’t even follow his rules..” she retorted in arrogance..

But Hardin had a calm expression as he approached her slowly, she could feel her heart beating wildly in her chest..

Soon his scent reached her nose drawing her to the fact that he was way closer to her than he should be..

“If he’s as scary as you say, then why would he choose me to tame his wild younger sister?”

He held her arm and pulled her closer to himself getting rid of the gap between them..

“W-hat do you mean?” she squeaked with a widened gaze at the sudden collision between them..

Hardin traced the outline of her face with a finger before his hand fell on her nape caressing it gently..

“I have different ways to tame spoilt and wild ladies like yourself.. my grandma and I haven’t failed to tame a single lady in all of these years and I’m not about to”

Alexa had a confused look on her face, he was either doing this to confuse her or to scare her..

“It’s not everyday a handsome dude wakes up in the morning thinking of ways to tame me.. my brother must have skipped one little information about me Hardin.. and that is my obsession of winning every single time”

Before he could comprehend what she meant, he found himself falling on the couch after she pushed him gently..

Alexa leaned down to him on the couch, running a finger over his lips..

“You’ve got the prettiest eyes and lips Hardin but sadly you make me sick whenever I look at you, you’re the perfect definition of a domineering jerk!”

“Am I?” he questioned meaningfully to receive a nod in response..

He suddenly pulled her down, unaware of his mischievous thoughts, she fell on his laps with a gasp..

His thumb grazed her cheeks while he sat up from the sofa, his jade orbs met her black ones which held a hint of nervousness in them..

“You also missed another information about me miss arrogant, I certainly don’t like to lose, especially to a lady..” he whispered drawing his face closer to hers..

Alexa’s breathing became deep as she tried so hard to keep her calm expression, she tried so hard to convince herself that this was no less than a trick he wanted to play on her..

But her stubborn body refused to adhere to her mind because she found herself closing the gap between them..

Though Hardin was doing this to mess with her mind, but he couldn’t stop himself when he stared down at her inviting lips, that was probably the first mistake he made..

His lips moved against hers, he had only hoped for it to last for a second, but his mind went blank when she reciprocated..

Olivia stopped on her tracks when she heard the familiar giggles of Kelvin and Kiara coming from the door leading to the large kitchen..

What were they up to this time? she turned on her heels and returned back to the door, it was slightly ajar, from this slight opening, she could see Kiara and Kelvin hopping around Damien who was busy kneading a dough..

If things weren’t a bit awkward between her and Damien, they really gave the perfect family type of vibe..

The trio snapped their heads to her when she walked in staring at them confusedly..

Kelvin had white flour smeared on his cheeks while Kiara’s white dress was stained with a red liquid, and the oldest among being Damien, his black pants also had white stains on it..

Her eyes grew large, just a few minutes away from them and they were already covered in flour and ketchup? she marched straight to Damien who had his back against her..

“Mummy come join us, Daddy is trying to make cookies for me and Kiara”

A sigh escaped Olivia’s lips, she had a feeling that whatever Damien was doing was as a result of Kelvin and kiara’s constant bugging..

“I left for only five minutes and now look at them..” She scolded..

“What? they only asked me to make cookies for them.. and that’s exactly what I’m doing” Damien said in his defense..

“Oh really? they asked? and if I asked you to jump into a fire would you also do that?” She inquired with an arched brow obviously teasing him but his response shocked her to the core..

“I’m willing to do anything that would make you both happy, you and Kelvin mean the world to me now.. and I really mean it Olivia” He winked at her meaningfully..

Olivia was left in a daze, was it her head or did he just look sexy with the way he winked at her? her cheeks flushed red at the thought…
