Since Devin was not in the home to spend time, Leena went into uncle Pumpkin's home along with Reese. It's been a long time since all the three had spent quality time together and finally, they got a chance to gossip.
"I have a question for you, Uncle Pumpkin" Leena started. "In the future when you die, what unique thing do you want people to do in your funeral while your coffin is being dropped six feet below."
"I wish the bouquet on my coffin to be thrown into the crowd to see who is next." He replied casually.
The first time William made love to him, he told even the coffin cannot separate them from being together. That's when the hots for each other started. Recalling the memory, Uncle Pumpkin blushed beet red, and the urge for a naughty n.a.k.e.d dance with William intensified.
"A very unique one." Leena tipped her head back and laughed loudly at his witty reply.
"Indeed, Leena dear." He scurried towards Leena and whispered in a low voice that even Reese couldn't hear. "I am curious about one thing."
"What is it?" Leena spoke up in a whisper.
"Did you guys do it?"
"Why are you so concerned about it?" She peeked at Reese who seems to be engrossed in her mobile. Rather than me and my babylicious, he seems to be more anxious about it.
"We have released a new flavor in the company. Butterscotch. Wanna try it? I will give it for free as a trial." He muttered. It was specially made from medical silica crystal material which is very safe and toxic-free. Added with raised dots for extra stimulus to last long, they are standing number one in the industry now and their competitor Eighth heaven is simmering in anger.
Leena pressed her lips in frustration. Butterscotch? Is there a food product he hasn't utilized until now? Butterscotch lovers would sure quit eating when they learn about it.
"Your birth certificate would become an apology letter from your own c.o.n.d.o.m factory if you keep irritating me talking about those weird flavors."
The threat worked and Uncle Pumpkin instantly shut his mouth.
"Go and enforce it on your new manager." Leena got up and strolled out of the room angrily.
"What happened to her?" Reese put down her mobile and looked at the exiting figure.
"I denied giving her butterscotch and she is angry with me." Uncle Pumpkin barked. Did Leena know about my affair with the manager also? Damn you, William. I am going to kill you today.
Reese: " "
Leena doesn't like butterscotch.
..
Cursing the person for always chattering about the kinky stuff, Leena pulled her laptop to watch a cartoon show. Not before she watched an episode, Devin was back.
"What's up, Orthodox saint?" Devin asked the moment he walked into the bedroom.
"You are back, babylicious?" She threw the laptop and dashed towards him happily. "What do you want to eat for dinner?"
"Grandfather called up and I had dinner at home. So, you don't need to stress yourself."
"There is no stress. I enjoy doing it for you," She smiled that reached over her eyes. "What was so urgent that you left in a hurry?"
"I will tell you when the time comes." It's not yet the time for Leena to know the truth. "But you have to be a little careful around strangers."
He is talking as if someone is out for my life. Lately, Leena saw him conversing with Francis secretly. I have to find what these two are up to. Nonetheless, she doesn't want to sound suspicious to him and she simply nodded her head. "Okay."
"Good girl." Pushing her body upwards, he lifted and carried her to the bed. All the while, Leena talked about Uncle Pumpkin's witty talks and soon dozed off in his arms.
....
Days passed and finally, the day has come Leena has to attend the party Max Hayes is throwing for his daughter's birthday.
"Woah! This dress is gorgeous." Reese exclaimed as soon as she saw Leena coming out of the walk-in-closet in a gorgeous red off-shoulder s.e.xy prom gown that stopped before her knees. It fitted very well emphasizing her arcs.
"Of course Miss Allen. Anything looks good on the great Leena.." She lazily commented.
Reese sighed. She started again.
"I am ready. Let's go." Leena clasped Reese's hand taking a last glance at her veneer. "You are a celestial goddess." She muttered with a smile.
"I don't know why I am dragged to the party." Reese cried.
"I don't want to be alone, Reese darling. Didn't you recently complain I am not spending quality time with you?" Leena pouted.
"That is not how I wanted to spend time with you," Reese yelled. "You could have taken Devin or your Francy."
"Those two are boring candidates for a party." Stepping into the elevator, she couldn't help but look into the gorgeous beauty in the mirrors over and over and she threw a flying kiss to herself before stepping out.
As they both strode out of the apartment, a car was waiting outside. Seeing them, the chauffeur immediately stepped out of the car and opened the door for them.
"Thank you," Leena climbed into the car along with Reese.
"You are welcome, madam" He closed the car door behind them with a polite smile and sped the car to the party destination.
"Leena!" A scream emerged from the crowd.
"Reese also has arrived." Another scream boomed. If Leena has become famous for being a model, Reese has equally shared the limelight after being with her. Back then, they were branded as the best pair in the industry.
The reporters immediately vied with the cameras in front of both.
"Leena Hayes!! Can you pose for a picture?"
"A word for us, Leena."
"You have come with your executive assistant, Reese Allen again. Can you please comment on it?" One of the reporters commented.
"Did you break up with Devin and reconciled with Reese?"
Leena and Reese quickly looked at each other trying to suppress their laughter. As expected, the topic was brought up.
"Why didn't Devin_"
"Shhh" Leena silenced the reporter putting a finger on her lips. She looked into his eyes sending goosebumps through his skin. "I would explain it to you. But I don't have crayons at the moment." It was a modest way to tell their acting makes them seem very imm.a.t.u.r.e.
Satisfied with the baffled look on the reporter, Leena strolled inside the party hall, her beauty blinded everyone as she walked. A perfect blend of beauty and vitality, she was someone to lookup on to as well as bow down to.
Meanwhile, the reporter who asked the question scuffed his forehead in confusion. "She is a_"
"Feral." His fellow reporter added to him. "I told not to question her anything except ask for a pose." He still remembered the scene of her relay race incident on that night.
"Her tongue is sharper than a knife. It can kill without drawing blood."
