The Beauty and the Idiot

Chapter XVII

Around a week later...

Things are going down. Everything within a week, I knew it.  

I damn knew it...!

I told you all, something terrible was going to happen. It was obvious anyway...

Let me firstly give you all some context. I think you all already know what to expect, however, let's do yet another flashback. I'll tell everything what happened within that week up until now, don't worry. For that, we need to...

Six days before the catastrophe...

I woke up around 6 or 7 am, the details aren't important here. Lika seemed to have planned something for that day, so she woke up early as well. She packed all the stuff you need for a picnic into a basket, letting me carry the blanket. 

On our way to... Somewhere, I still don't know this place all too well. But on our way we met Paola with her mistress Allegra. They joined us, and we enjoyed some time together. Paola even showed me some cool tricks with the pan, and Allegra recommended all the cool places to visit. I also found out that Allegra isn't just some rich girl with a servant she has a crush on, but she apparently controls the whole goddamn food industry of this place.

Everything edible in here, directed by her, and Paola, of course. 

Lika asked how she managed to get the huge ribbon tied around her dress, and that ribbon was dangerously close to her ass. Well, Paola ties it for her every morning, sometimes Paola even needs to wash her mistress's hair when she's in the bathtub or just spend time with her. This whole time Allegra has been flirting with her servant, sometimes it was damn obvious, but Paola never understood any of those flirts. 

"Is it you or why is it hot in here, Paola?"

"The sunddar seems to be shining bright today. You probably should get the sun cream."

"Can you-"

"You're old enough, Miss Fiore."

"But-"

"Here you go already."

"Ow...."

Or...

"Hey sandwich, are you buttered yet?"

"Soon done... There you go." and then she proceeded to give Allegra a sandwich.

"Paola, I hope you know how CPR, you're taking my breath away-"

"You shouldn't be joking about your chronically illness, Miss Fiore. Now, eat up your sandwich."

"Alright, Paola..."

That went on for the entire time. Allegra would get dangerously close to Paola almost all the time, however, something always interrupted them. Sometimes it was because Paola had to turn her attention to the food she was making, or sometimes because a few kids were watching, so Lika interrupted the two to get the kids away.

As said, this went on the entire time. Only as the sunddar started to set, we packed our things and headed back home. Allegra and Paola followed us two back home, through the city. At this point, I got used to the citizens living here, even the big guys. Well... Not really, a few still creep me out.

The two stayed with us for a while, before heading back home on their own. Nothing significantly happened that day, I actually could've skipped that whole day and moved on to the part where things started to go down, but I found it important to fill you all in the probably last peaceful moment of this journey.
