Forever Bound

Bad luck

Scarlet is a dangerous man who loves playing with fire.
"Stop provoking me, Eli." he whispered into my ears.
I could feel his breath.
"What?  I mummer.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't stop myself." he says by patting my hair.
It was an intimate moment that made my heart flutter when he gently took a whiff of my hair. Then he was about to closen the distance between us.
My heart was beating fast.
                    GASP
I suddenly woke up.
Thank god it was a dream.
"What's wrong with me?" I pat my face continuously.
I went downstairs. To my suprise there was actual unusual silence. I look around.
"Are they still sleeping?"
And yes, the brothers live together . They were gone yesterday because of some work Scarlet gave them.
I try to take a peek on to his room till I heard a voice behind me.
"Looking for somebody?" I gasp and look back.
I step back immediately.
"No, I wasn't." He walks over me.
"Do you have work today?" He looks at me .
"It's not a 9 to 5 job, El . I'm a business man. I can work whenever I want to." He smirks.
"Hungry?" He raises a pan. I look clueless . He cooks?
"Anything will work."
"So you're gonna get the suprise breakfast." I smile softly.
He got engaged with kitchen work.
I try to peek and follow him as he cuts  the bananas . He smirks and walks over me.
"You're good at this." I say to him.
"I'm good at other things." He gives me an evil smile.
I got caught in the moment.
He puts flour on my nose  and put the mixing in the pan.
He's crazy.
I sit at the table and he brings me  pancakes and put beside me.
"You're food is served, Ma'am."
He poured maple syrup on it and gave me eyes to eat it.
I dig in. To be honest, I haven't eaten good food like this in years . That food might be good but without love and efforts it's tasteless.
But ofcourse I won't give him a direct compliment .
"How's it?" I give him a disgusted look.
"Really?" He grabs my fork and take a bite . Did he just ? Used my fork?
"The food's just fine Eli." He says to me and takes a deep breath.
"Alright. I'll make you something." He tries to take away my plate but I stopped him by coincidentally touching his hand.
"I'm kidding. It's delicious."
I haven't let go of his hand yet. He looks at me on to his hand.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I let it go suddenly.  The others came too teasing us.
"Oh we shouldn't look." mocking us.
He crossed his arm .
"Don't be an asshole, Enzo."
They laugh.
"What are you making. It smells delicious." Dante comments.
He gives me a stare .
"See, there are actual people who appericate it."
I scoff.
I face Scarlet.
"I wanna go somewhere today."
He swallows his food .
"Where? I'll take you."
I shake my head.
"No, I wanna go myself." He looks at me.
He nods.
"When will you back?"
"After 2 hours approximately."
He clears his throat.
"Eli, go wherever you want. But don't cause any problem."
I scoff.
"I'll be fine myself." I stand up and go to my room . While all of them eats in stare.
After getting ready up I leave the house. I booked myself a cab so it wouldn't cause much time.

"Follow her. But don't make it too obvious." I command Dante.
"Sure." I nod.

I reached the mall. After buying myself some accessories. Even though they took me yesterday, I could shop comfortably. So after shopping my sugar dropped a little bit so I went out of the mall. There was an ice cream shop right in the corner of the street. I  walk towards the shop. I feel like someone is following me. Like I feel I'm being watched.
I try to look back but there wasn't anyone.
I walk faster and take a turn.

"Where did she go?" he asks.
"I told you to keep an eye on her."
