Mystical Mutant {Editing}

Chapter 43

LOUIS' POV

She held her silver tray horizontally as her eyes lurked around the place. Her eyes sparkled as I waved. Fiona walked in my direction and took out her book and pen from her pocket. "Hey... can I take your order?" she darted with a shy smile.  

I gradually pushed the paper then turned fully to her "only if you're on the menu" I smirked. Fiona's cheeks heated up, her eyes widened "Louis! Please be serious for once" she whispered.

"I'm serious, we need to go" I replied in the same tone, "But why? Even if I wanted to, I have work to do" Fiona exhaled. "Not if I can help it" I walked to the door "hey! Where are you going?" I flashed a smile and then continued.

"Good morning, Ma'am," I said. The woman stood on a chair trying to reach for the cabinet, she paused and squinted at me, "It's me, Louis." I smiled, "oh, Louis my boy! Please call me Mrs. Brown" she adjusted her chair.

"How may I help you today?" She smiled ear to ear. "Ahh.. you see, I want to spend quality time with Fiona but I guess it's impossible" I sat on the chair with a deep sigh. 

"I-Is there anything I can do to help?" Mrs. Brown faked a smile, "Ahem... I was just wondering, how much do you make in a month?" I gazed with standing ears "it's not so much, but it's-" I held my hand up, she stopped talking. 

"I hope fifty thousand Diaz will be enough to cover up for Fiona's absence during our dating period " I pulled a cheque from my back pocket and signed it.

 Mrs. Brown's mouth dropped to the floor, her eyes had the symbol of Diaz, the currency of Diadora. "Y-Yes, sir! Have fun, Fiona is all yours" she laughed like a dinosaur and grabbed it.

A smirk formed at the corner of my lips, I bounced out like I owned the place. Fiona was discussing with a customer when I pulled her hand "Hey, this is no time for games, can't you see I'm working" her eyebrows crumpled.

"Just come with me, I took care of everything" Fiona followed with a confused look "wait, let me drop the apron first" 

She had blue shorts, yellow sleeves with white lily designs, and white shoes. I suggested we should visit mama ocean, Fiona agreed even though she visited this morning.

She jumped and played around barefooted "hi Mom!" she half-yelled with a chuckle, Fiona turned her head "if she waves slowly that means she's happy, Mom makes violent big waves when she's angry" I nodded as she explained. 

"Hi Fiona's Mom, it's me, Louis" I waved my hand with a grin, her waters became restless "Ah, you don't have to worry, we're together now, Fiona is safe with me" Fiona raised her head as I laced our hands.

I was expecting her waters to calm down but instead, her waves kept increasing, like a predator that got eyes on its prey. "Run!" Fiona pulled my hands, we hurried to the forest "phew! That was close" she breathed "Yeah... I don't think she likes me much" I said.

"Just give her time, okay?" Fiona smiled, and I nodded. "How is Mint? Is he in Magnolia?" she said. "Nah, I brought him to Diadora" Fiona squealed "Oh my gosh! He's here? I want to see him" she gave me the puppy dog eyes.

"But, he's in my hotel room" I arched my brow, "lead the way" Fiona motioned, "A-Are you sure you're okay with that?" I rubbed the back of my neck staring at the ground "get your mind out of the gutter, let's go" Fiona rolled her eyes, "but I didn't say anything, you know?" I mumbled.

"I need to take care of a few things first" I gave Leonardo a call, I told him to inform all my escorts to meet me in Diadora park, which is quite a long journey.

I placed my cap on Fiona's head "just to be safe" she replied with a nod. We took a cab to the hotel, she didn't stop twisting her head in all directions. I lowered my head and whispered "act normal" . She glared at me for a while.

The receptionist by the door was about to take Fiona to the regular elevator "she's with me" I pulled her closer "oh my! Apologies sir" the woman bowed then walked away. 

The elevator door opened, Fiona's eyes widened, I offered her a seat as the door closed "t-this is amazing!" her eyes moved to all corners. I smiled at her reaction. 

The place was quiet "echo!" I turned and shushed her, Fiona covered her mouth and giggled. 

"This is my room" she gasped "wow! Are you kidding?" Fiona took her time to admire everything, she peeked through the glass door "wow this place is huge, how much?" I raised my head "Hmm... I think seventy thousand Diaz per night"  

Fiona opened her mouth "shut up, that's a lot! This place is classic though" I flashed a smirk "well, I wouldn't mind having a roommate" Fiona facepalmed with a deep sigh.

I took off my shoes, and dropped my glasses on the dressing table "You wanna watch a movie?" I looked over my shoulder, she nodded then dropped my cap. 

I brought popcorn and sodas from the dining room, pulled the cover, and grabbed the remote control from the table "so what do you wanna watch?" I asked with my eyes on the television, I turned as I got no reply, Fiona was staring with her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"What?" I arched a brow, my eyes widened "oh! I'm so sorry, we can stay on the couch if you want? Or-" she shook her head "no, it's fine" Fiona stiffened as she slipped under the blanket "I'll watch anything" she replied. 

I played an adventure movie with action as its subgenre. We munched on popcorn as it started, I gazed at Fiona, and after a while, she turned "why are you staring?" she said.

"Nothing, it's just that I'm still getting used to the hair" I chuckled, "I-Is it that bad?" Fiona touched the tip, "No! It's very beautiful, I like it" I smiled, we shared a moment of silence 

"But my long blonde hair was better, right?" she pouted "hey! Look at me" I cupped her face and stared into her eyes "I like you no matter how or what you look like.

she brushed her lips against mine " I like you too" I put the popcorn bowl behind Fiona and pulled her closer "do that again" I glanced at her lips "after you" she blushed.

Her warm breath brushed my skin as I leaned closer, "Am I interrupting something?" my heart sank to my stomach, I could recognize that voice anywhere.
