MY SASSY QUEEN

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN - CAUGHT

Natasha POV

A loud scream makes me jolted from my deep and peaceful sleep. I rubbed my eyes and opened it only to find my sister looking at me with wide eyes. Her cheeks turned into a shake of red and quickly turned around as soon as I saw her.

"I swear I didn't see anything!" She said while standing there but facing at the back.

"What the...!" My words left hanging as I glanced at my side. I saw Malik sleeping peacefully while his arms hanging on my bare torso. His face nuzzles on my neck and you can visibly see his naked back.

I slowly entangled myself from him but he groaned when I swatted his arms off me. I sigh as I decide to pat him slowly to wake him up.

"Love, come back to sleep! It's too early!" He said to me. I pinched him slightly so he would turn his attention to me.

"What?" He asked me all eyes wide open.

I signal my sister who's still waiting with her back facing us. Malik jumped from where he was asleep.

" Oh!" He said, smiling sheepishly at me.

"I will wait for you guys in the living room!" Sophia said and I inhaled a sigh of relief. But as soon as she came out of the room I heard my mom's voice from outside and my niece.

"Where's Nat? Is she still sleeping? Let me wake her up?" My mom's voice and I scrambled out from my bed looking for decent clothes to wear.

"You better get up!" I said to Malik who's looking amused at my reaction.

"What's so hurry my love?"

"Shut up! And get dressed or else my mom will walk on us with this look!" I said to him, As I finally reached for my robe and used it.

But the idiot just smiled and hugged me.

"No need to be shy! I have seen it all!" He said, peppering a kiss on my face down to my neck.

"Idiot!" I said as I smacked his chest but I smiled when I turned to him.

"Yeah yeah your idiot!" He said while sticking out his tongue playfully at me.

"You are so annoying!"

"Now I am the annoying one? Last night you said!" I put my hands on his mouth to stop him from saying further.

"Hey come out the two of you lovebirds! We can hear your lovey dovey here!" My sister shouted and both of our eyes turned shocked.

"Urrg, it would be so embarrassing walking out in this room" I said as I facepalm.

Just as Malik already did, changing into a decent one. We both made ourselves outside. I saw my mom and sister talking more while whispering to each other. I don't even need to guess who's there talking about it because it's previous that's it's me. Especially when I saw how their brows slightly went upward when they saw the both of us stepping out from my room.

Good thing my niece is there and quickly went to my side.

"Aunt N!" She shouted as she charged herself to me. I opened my arms to catch her since I know she will surely jump on me. Of course I staggered backward. Good thing there's Malik on my back who supported me. "OOPS sorry!" She slyly smiled when I almost dropped her for her sudden jump..

"Just as long, don't do that again! What if I don't catch you?" I told her.

"Hehehe.. Ok Aunt N!" She smiled obediently to me. Then her attention focused on my back. I groaned when she threw a sweet smile. Of course she will capture her heart too. This guy is full of charm.

"Oh hi!!" She waved at him with a shy smile on her face.

"Hi, I assume you are the sweet and beautiful Catherine Faith that your aunt always talked about?" Malik asked and she giggled whole, nodding her head vigorously.

I shake my head on their interaction as clear as the sky that my little niece is already swept by this charming guy behind my back.

"Hey Malik,!" My sister Sofia and My mom greeted me.

"Good thing you have time for my daughter? I thought Prince can be very busy!" My mom said clearly she wants to interrogate him. I shot her a warning look since I don't want Malik to feel uncomfortable with us.

"Mom!" I said .

"No! It's ok my love! Actually I just landed here last night and I went immediately to her since I am missing this girl pretty badly!"

I swear I can hear an aww sound from my sister but she quickly hides it. Her reaction obviously said everything.

"Sis, why don't you help me prepare breakfast. For sure you both don't have breakfast right?" My sister Sofia and I nodded.

"Yeah smartass!" I said to her,

"Good so me and Malik can talk for a while. While you two ladies do the cooking!" My mom clapped and I knew it already.

"Mom!" I protested.

"It's ok love! Why don't you give Cathy to me? I'll watch her while the two of you work on breakfast?" Malik said and I was stunned.

"Don't worry, I know how to handle kids!" He said secretly winking at me. But it didn't go unnoticed to my mom as she smiled slightly then hid it immediately.

I swear my family is super weird.

"Awww... Malik knows how to take care of a baby already? Wow! You are a very lucky one sis!" My sister whispered while we both went to my kitchen.

"Stop it Sof!" I said.

"So what happened? Don't ever tell me that it's not that serious. Because obviously both of you are not wearing anything between those sheets!" She said to me,

"Are we really going to cook for breakfast or you just want to interrogate me too?" I sarcastically commented on her.

"Obviously I am the one to cook for all we know you can't cook anything!"

"It's not true! I can cook something ok?"

"Like what?"

"Hmmm... !"

"You can't even think of one because even when you fry an egg, it will turn into fire!"

"Shut up! I didn't do anything like that!"

"Hahahaha.. you remembered the last time you cooked? You blasted mom's oven, that's why she never allowed you to step foot in her kitchen eversince!" She laughed.

I winced as the memories from that event flashed in my mind.
