Her Silent Killer

Chapter 25

Who does this girl think she is? The nerve! If I was able to use my voice I would've told her where to get off. But since I wasn't able to, I just gave her a very sweet smile. I could see that my smile got to her because her face lost the bored look that she had on just now. She looked hella peeved. What had she expected? That I would go and mope in a corner somewhere? There was no chance in hell for that. I wasn't a pushover and I certainly wasn't one to cower from anyone or anything. I might seem vulnerable and weak now since I was going through the worst but best believe I'm the type that gave as good as she got.
Tiny: "I said I don't like you-."
Kumkani: "She's not yours to like, she's mine. So stop your shit, it won't work with her. If you mess with her, you mess with me." It was a warning. And Tiny knew it because she swallowed and backed down but I knew this wasn't going to be the end. I was actually glad because later, I would be ready for her... "beautiful I'm going to have a chat with them real quick in the kitchen okay?" I nodded. He kissed my forehead and they all went to the kitchen. The way Tiny was sulking was so hilarious shame. She looked a teenager. I'm sure she hadn't expected the king to tell her off like he had. My guess was that maybe she had done the same thing in the past to the women the king probably had in his bed and the king might have let her behavior slide because maybe he hadn't cared or whatever. But what Tiny didn't know was that I was different from all those other women. I was here to stay. I went back to viewing people's statuses on Facebook as the king talked to Tiny and the man in the kitchen. I couldn't hear what they were discussing. To be honest, I didn't much care. I had decided that I wouldn't inquire anything that had to do with the king's work. For my sanity and peace of mind it was best if I knew as little as I did about all that he did. Knowing that he was a contract killer, the Silent Killer, was enough for me. Really.

After a while, Tiny and the man, whose name I still didn't know yet, left. Tiny couldn't leave though without giving me an ugly look. She was hilarious that one... "you're okay beautiful?" He asked brushing my face lovingly. I liked how he did that. He conveyed a lot of his feelings towards me when he did that. I nodded. He eyes roamed my face and then he nodded satisfied. This man. I went to the Notebook app again and typed "Who are they?"
Kumkani: "Slim and Tiny. My Cleaners." Cleaners? Wait... Did it mean what I think it meant? I swallowed as I typed "Your Cleaners? They clean up the...bodies?" He read what I wrote and looked at me with those blank eyes of his and then he gave me a short nod. Oh my God! Oh my God! That's why there hasn't been any evidence against him yet  because the Cleaners made sure to get rid of it all. What I know from movies is that these people don't just take care of the bodies but they also make sure to clean the whole site too. They clean it in a way that there's no evidence that there was any murder that had occurred. So that's what Slim and Tiny's job as the king's cleaners entailed. I couldn't believe it. I mean, they both looked like ordinary people. Maybe that was the whole point. For them to look as ordinary as possible making it impossible for anyone to catch onto what they were and did. Oh my God! Talk about crazy and how you could never judge a book by it's cover. Because Tiny was tiny as hell and Slim was tall and kind of on the scrawny side. No one would ever even think of them being what they were. I knew the truth but I still couldn't. And I don't want to lie guys, I still struggled a little in coming to terms with what the king did for living. And that's one of the reason why I didn't want to know any information about who was going to kill and why. No. I was good. To settle down my heart I decided to move onto a lighter subject. So I typed "Who gave them those ridiculous names? You?" The corners of his mouth lifted. "God!!! It was you wasn't it?!!!" He said nothing but he did smile. Gosh! Every time he smiled I couldn't help but be mesmerized by him. Like now. I don't know what came over me or compelled me to do what I did but nonetheless I pressed my lips briefly to his and then I pulled back. I had shocked the king bethu. I had also shocked  myself. His eyes stayed on me as they roamed my whole face. Not knowing what to do I started to fiddle with the iPad which he then took from my hands and put it on the table. He then moved towards me slowly while his eyes still roamed my face to watch for my reaction.
Kumkani: "I'm going to kiss you now beautiful." He warned me. At that, I just closed my eyes holding my breath and waited for him to do as he had said. When the kiss didn't come I opened my eyes and his face was right there in front mine.
Kumkani: "Breathe little beauty." His whispered with his lips almost touching mine. When I gasped for breath that's when he kissed me. The kiss was slow but dominating as hell. It was like he was declaring his ownership over me, that I belonged to him and him alone with that kiss. And I felt owned bethuna. When the kiss ended we were both out of breath. Okay, it was mostly me than him but I could see that the kiss had affected him too. His eyes were an intense gray now. How was this possible? For one's eye color to change like that? He nibbled a bit on my lips and I keened and then he put his forehead against mine with his eyes closed. He looked in pain... "I lost control there for a sec. I'm sorry beautiful." His voice. God! I just shook my head and touched his face. He had nothing to apologize for. I had enjoyed the kiss. Yes, it had been super intense and whatnot but I had very much liked it... "I'm going to change the bandages on those feet of yours." He announced after a short while. And that's what he did.
