Chapter 73 - Seventy - Three : Jerk Of A Boyfriend
Maya's POV
It was really easy to go ntal , cause I thought I've actually ran mad. I perfectly knew coffee wasn't chocolate and Niklaus didn't hit as soone who enjoys sweetened stuffs but the amount of bitterness I tasted in that coffee would never be forgotten till the day I die.
It was so bitter to the point it stung my tongue and irritated the inside of my mouth.I coughed and retched until my voice went hoarse but I could still collect bitter saliva in my mouth.
Suddenly, I felt an arm snake around my waist and was turned towards a body. Nik lifted my chin and said to "Open up " but I gave him a questioning look.
"Salt will cut the bitterness " He said to before I opened my mouth and he dropped a two-fingered pinch of salt into my mouth
Few minutes later, I found myself on the sofa in the living room sucking on a swirly rainbow lollipop like a five-year old while glaring daggers at Izzy who didn't look bothered by the way.
I pulled the lollipop out of my mouth and said to Izzy sternly " I'm confiscating all your electronic gadgets for a week which ans no making of calls, streaming video and playing gas "
I wasn't stupid , I knew soone had tampered with that coffee and the only person capable of pulling such a crude prank was the one and only Izzy.
She spat " You have no right! "
"Sorry to disappoint you but I was given the full right by your father and as your nanny to discipline you when in the wrong " ca my reply but she just rolled her eyes towards heaven , contemptuously.
"You wouldn't dare! " She sassed back
" As a matter of fact, watch " I stood to my feet " Now hand over the cellphone, young lady " I demanded and stretched out my hand in anticipation.
"Make " She dared with a raised brow
"Works just fine for cause I have this wonderful thought of inviting Annabelle over for dinner and there's this urge to have a very, very good chitchat with her and I'm sure she would love to hear of your latest rendezvous , wouldn't she? " I threatened with a sweet smile on my face and we began a stare down until she gave in.
Izzy strode towards and handed over the cellphone in quite a rude manner and turned to leave but I stopped her.
"Your tablet " I said motioning to the sofa where she had hidden the device earlier when she thought I had not being looking. I had to give this girl so credit - she was incredibly smart.
Izzy must have known this would happen and had hidden it on ti but her plan was busted, I caught her in the act without her knowledge - *KO
As childish as it might sound, but it was so refreshing and I'm so happy I have the upper hand this ti ; I defeated Izzy in her own ga!
After handing whatever device she had on her to - both hidden and unhidden - Izzy gave a death glare and strode to her room, banging the door so hard, the house shook.
I sat back down and turned to ask Niklaus with a concerned look " Was I too harsh on her? "
But Niklaus shook his head and gave a thumbs-up sign saying " No, you did right " but he clasped his heart theatrically "You were so cool that my heart began to beat too fast.Wow, I really thought I saw an amazon warrior "
I scrunched up my nose and scowled at him
"What nonsense are you vomiting this ti? "
Without warning, he grabbed by the waist and pushed up against his body , the side of my head resting directly on his chest.
He asked with a smile " Can you hear it? "
Though it didn't sound as exaggerated as he said earlier but I could make out the "thump thump " sound of his heart and soon enough, it felt like music to my ears.
I leaned in further and wrapped my arms around his waist, his chest was as a comfy as a pillow.
"Oi " Nik called poking in the ribs with a finger and complained " I'm not a human bolster "
I ignored him and instead tightened my hold on him " You used as a bolster yesterday, today's my turn " I stated firmly.
Nik threw his head back and laughed "I never knew you were this petty "
"I learned from you of course " I murmured against his chest while his hands raked through my hair
"If that's the only thing you learnt , then you're not a bright student " he ridiculed and I hit him on the chest annoyed.
"I'll have you know I was the best in my class and I graduated summa cum laude " I clarified .
"Fine, you're a top student " He concurred at last and drew further into his embrace and I actually had plans of sleeping when his cellphone rang, disrupting this peaceful and romantic mont. Reluctantly, I got off his body in order for him to answer the call.
" Hello " Nik said and then walked out of sight. It was obvious that he didn't want to listen to his conversation.
I sighed deeply , lay on the sofa and picked up my phone and decided to browse the net for latest gossip.
I hardly searched for long before a trending video caught my attention.
" MAN ARRESTED FOR PUBLIC INDECENCY "
What really attracted to the news wasn't the headline, but the face of the said culprit who looked suspiciously similar to my ex-boyfriend.
So I clicked on the news, making sure to read through the lines and by the ti I was done, I was utterly flabbergasted.
This was totally unbelievable, Andrew might have been a jerk of a boyfriend but I never knew him as soone of questionable morals unless..... Oh my God.
I turned just in turn to see Niklaus putting on a grey blazer, he looked like he was heading out and his face was back to it's stoic state.
"Niklaus, are you - "
He silenced with a kiss " I'll be back, see you later " he said and left before I could even protest.
