I just keep my calm when i'm infront of her. I still have my avidity to kill him, I just can't leave her in this state. I know she's in pain and she's hiding it from me, she can't barely move her body and her breath rigid.

She had a hard time eating so I'm feeding her right now, in her room. The last time I know I'm her saviour, next I become her personal cooked I never been cooked to anyone and now I'm her doctor. I'm all in one because of her, I can't believe I turned out like these—She made me like this, I didn't see this coming.

"I'm still capable." She said trying to snatched the spoon out of my hand. I smirked and rolled my eyes.  I looked at her with warning, wordlessly. And she looked down agitated slightly.

"Just shut up and eat." I demanded blanky.

"Thanks Kiari." She said sincerely and smile kindly. I stared a her with my usual appreance blankly, emotionless. I escort her in drinking water and wiped her lips with tissue.

"I'm full." She said rubbing her stomach using her left hand. I nodded and get her medicines on the night stand. I looked at her and she's looking on her meds with disgusting looked.

"You can sleep now Kiari. I can take care of myself." She said nervously chuckled. She's predictable, she wants me to sleep, so no one will force her to drink this meds. I shook my head and hand it to her, She looked really nauseate.

"Drink." I said gruelling and faintly smirked.

She disgustedly smirked and shook her head. I rolled my eyes and hand her the meds. But she looked at me and firmly shook her head.

"Nooo eww." She said nauseate shaking her head. I sighed and lean down and gave her a peeked kiss on her lips. She was litterally shocked and her jaw dropped in an instant I put the meds inside her mouth. I smirked and she quickly grabbed the water and drink.

"You're a nuts!" She shouted and smacked my shoulder. I chukled and she wiped her lips wet with water using her palm.

"Sleep." I said nonchalantly emotionless.

"How about you? You should get some rest too." She said before laid down in bed. I put her mattress.

"Later." I said casually. She nodded and slowly closed her eyes.

When I got to school I walked fast and look for Andy. I saw him inside the room talking to Tiffany, he looked at Tiffany deeply harsh and slapped her. Tiffany hold her face and began to cry, the slapped attract everyone attention in the room. Andy attempt to slapped her agaim but I caught his hand, and the intense scence started to filling up. I heard them groaned looking on us.

Andy try to take his hand off, but I hold it tight. I looked at Tiffany and signaled her to leave. She quickly stood up and ran away, I clenched my fist and punched hardly his face. He fell on the floor holding his side lips and blood slipped. He stood up and stretch his hand to punch me but I dodge it and punched him in his stomach, pushing the back of his head and bang it on the table three time. His blood trickling from his nose and forehead, and I punched him again and again and again until I felt something cracked on his ribs. He hold his side contorting from pain.

"Fucker." I said in low dangerous tone and carried him on the three stepped stairs and kicked him and he start rolling down. Grimacing in pain, until he gain unconciousness.

I walked out of the room and I heard them all sighed. I walked through the alley heading to my locker and pulled some clean rag and alcohol. and wiped my hand, Tiffany came sprinting and catched her breath.

"Thanks, Um- can I visit her?" She asked not throwing glances on me.

"Yeah." I said casually and close my locker. I went to the parking lot, Tiffany followed me. We get in the car and she sighed deeply.

"Uhm-can you drive like a normal people does?" She asked furrowed. I didn't mind her, and maintained my gaze infront.

"Wait. Can you stop for a while?" She asked and I drive to the side road and stop. "I'll just buy her an Ice cream." She said and flew away.

She opened the door carrying a four cups of dirty I cream.

"let's go." she said and I start the engine and drove way home.

The door opened and come in and instantly help me to sit properly. I sighed in pain and try to pacify myself hide pain that kills me and smiled at him. He smirked and rolled his eyes. I lately noticed Tiffany standing behind him.

"I feel better now." I said and force myself to smiled. She sighed and nodded.

"That's good so we could finally go to the  hollywood." she said exciment was obvious in her voice. I smile a real one, Me, myself was excited too. I eat the ice cream and I gigled I love ice cream but I love him more.

I looked at Kiari he was busied on his phone. There is no emotion presenting on his face. he stood up and walked out the room.

"So, you're living with him?" Tiffany smiled and it rik me to her idiotic behaviour. I know she's thinking something green, like that, I knew you know about it. I nodded still enjoying my ice cream.  I looked at her she bite her lower lip.

Wild confirmed!

"What?" I asked irritated raising my single eyebrow.

"Nahhh" she shook her head biting her thumbs nails."I just thinking something." She said and winked I rolled my eye and twist my lips upward.

The door wung opened and kiari smirked getting in. Putting both hands on his pockets. He stared us blankly, There's no emotions showed up in his face, I can't even read his mind by looking his gorgeous eyes.

"Lunch." he said and exited the room and leave the door opened.

"So you two kissed already?!" Tiffany asked twinkled her eyes.

I stunned and gasped when Kiari standing on the door his face showed amusement and he smirked. Leaning on the door.

Tiffany noticed my stunned expression and she turned around  to see what I was looking behind her.

"She asked you." He said nonchalantly. Looking at emotionless.

"Nahh, I ask you instead, So did you two kissed already? like quick peek on the lips or the wild kiss, which one?" Tiffany questioned kiari and she furrowed.

Kiari looked at me his expression change but it quickly vanished. And he shrugged.

"I'm hungry." I said rubbing my stomach and try to move up from bed. Kiari walked rushing assisted me to stand up. Tiffany following as downstairs, he hold my waist tight and carefully assisted me walking down the stairs. I hissed when I accidentally stepped my fractured foot. This is not good, I wanna cry, Can I?

"Are you okay?" Tiffany as me worries flexing on her face. I nodded and she frowned.

I stoped in the middle of the stair and sighed deeply. I can't take it anymore, the more I force myself to  walked pretend that I don't feel the excruciating pain it get worst and even more. Kiari looked at me blankly and he bend down and carried. Wrapping my left hand on his neck.

"That so sweet though." Tiffany said and chuckled. She looked at us and wink. "You know what you are perfect! A good girl and a bad boy." She said smiling playfully.

I feel my cheeks caught on fire, and I looked at Kiari he faintly smirked.

When we reached the dinning are, Kiari gently assisted me to seat. I looked around and saw Cilia at the counter she fluttered at me and I do the same. She's adorably I wanna kiss her pink cheeks. They serves us a lot of food as I looked at those I'm mouth watering. In a second I smile, and prepare my fork to stabbed the steak and torture it inside my mouth. I looked at Kiari, he was looking at me and amusement flashed on his face and quickly vanished that was sad. I wanna see that kind of his expression.

"I can feed you Sy." Tiffany said offering some kindness but I don't want to be a burdern for her good meal.

"No need, I can manage. Thanks Tif." I said and smile at her to make the situation better, although the pain at the back of my head killing me. Kiari silently eating and I looked at Cilia she's still standing there waiting for my order.

"Hey Cilia! come on join us." I said and everyone around, look at me. I didn't mind them.

"Thanks, but we know our boundaries Ms." She said smiling sheepishly.

I looked at Kiari and he stared and me emotionless, I sighed.

Boundaries between bronze and Gold is sucks. It's degrading. but that was the rules set by the golden spoon and bronze never set boundaries, because they work for money and the golden spoon the money work for them. If I'd looked closely to the boundaries, I shouldn't be here eating with him right now. I should be with the other maids. I lost my apetite I just keep stabbing the steak and pickles and don't have the courage to swallow.

"Hey Are you Alright? why you're not eating that?" Tiffany asked me worried and I just nodded, I really hate overthinking it can shut my mouth yet it can ramble my mind.

I could feel kiari's burning gaze but never attempt to looked at him. He poked my shoulder and looked at me raised his brows mean his asking me if everythings alright. I nodded and looked at Cilia she signaled me to eat, I smiled a little and the worst it's a faked one. I just drink my water and I could feel that kiari was making some gestures. And Cilia rush seated beside me, I was stunned and looked at kiari and Tiffany she's smiling and on the other hand Kiari just stared blankly. I smiled, I like Cilia, I'm comfortable with her and she's the only person risking her sleep just to help me find a job and house to move out. I gave Cilia my plate and she looked at me surprise and quickly giving me a furrowed eyebrows. I just smiled and drink my juice, She started eating slightly embrassed.

"Cilia." I lean closer and whispered to her and I groaned slightly as the pain shot on my back. Freaking bones they torture me everytime.

"Yeah?" She said also whispering.

"After this let's take a walked to the garden." I said and sweetly smiled at her.

"But you can't walk." She said looking on my foot. I rolled my eyes. I heard kiari cleared his throat enough to alarmed us. I seat back properly and drink my juice again I looked at Cilia and she looked at me I wink at her and a smile flashed on her lovely face.

I heard beep came from Tiffany's pocket.  She grabbed her phone stood up she signaled me, and walked over the living room.

"Why you're not eating?" Kiari asked me blankly and rolled his eyes.

"Um- Ms. Selina I'm done." Cilia said and instantly stood up.

"I told you that to call me that." O said, I meant her callsign on me. The Ms. Thing it's annoying.

"Oh-sorry okay." She said and winked and walked back at the counter.

"Tss." I heard kiari said and I looked at him, he smirked. He slice some beef and pointing on my mouth. I gaze at the beef, Before opening my mouth and bite the beef. It taste so good, I want more, He slice again and do the same until I found myself full and rubbed my big stomach.

I smiled looking on my big stomach. He smirked and amusement appeared again.

"I have to go Sy." She said holding her phone.

"Nahh it's okay I understand."She said and her phone beep again she checked something. "My driver is waiting outside I need to go. Bye Sy! Thanks Kiari." She said and stormed out the house.

I stood up slowly and Signaled Cilia to followed me. Kiari was looking on us confused.

"We're heading on the garden." I said and smiled at him. She shook his head and without any signal he carried me up on my room.

He placed me on my bed I seat there. I looked at him with burning gazed and he smirked.

He opened his phone and turned it down side. He crawled into my bed and leaning on the head board.

"What are you doing?" I asked he's nuts he do things he could only understand.

"You're noisy." He said blankly. His phone sounded and something flashed on the scree. So didn't let me go on the garden becayse he want us to watched movie? Awws lovely cat.

"What kind of movie is that?" I asked not breaking my contact on the screen.

"fifty shades." He chuckled and I smacked him.

"Kiari! turned that off! " I shouted covering my eyes. I heard him chuckled.

"It's exorcism " He said shooking his head. I sighed but wait? what? exorcism like ghost spefically it's a horror movie? no way I'll be having nightmare in this case. He leaned gently on my  shoulder, I feel pain but not too much.

"I don't watch exorcism." I said shaking and he interwined our fingers. I felt the whole zoo erupted inside my stomach making me shiver slightly.

The movie started and I slowly leaned my head against his.

The movie ended with a wild kisses and it reminds me of our kiss. I closed my eye and pacify myself calmed down my thoughts.
