THE TRIPLET

part 2

-

"Hello, Mrs Love. How are you doing?" Lilith smiled at the librarian.

Mrs Love was a very sweet woman. She didn't look like her age at all.

She had 1 child and 3 grandchildren. They wouldn't visit often since they're far away but they were on a call 24/7.

"Why, hello there, dear. What brings you here today? Weren't you just here yesterday?" She smiled sweetly.

"Well, yeah, but I already read that book, so I need to buy another one. You always have good books." she giggled a little.

Mrs Love tilled her head smiling. "You're a very gook kid, most people don't even care about books anymore! Last night when I was returning home I saw a big 3 boxes full of books! And get this- all of them were new! Can you believe that?"

Lilith frowned. "Oh my, why would anyone do that? What did you do to the books?"

"Well, I saw 3 boys walking and I asked them to help me take them inside. They were shocked at first but they did help me. One had blonde hair while the other two had dark brown. They quite looked like triplets, no older than 20."

"Well, if you need any help you know my number and I'm always down to buy any book you recommend!" Lilith smiled.

"I know! I know! Now go and choose a book you want and get out of here" Mrs Love joked.

Lilith giggled, that was what Mrs. Lobe would tell her every time she visited.

She went and picked out some books, enough to last her for a week.

"Just these, please!" She smiled as she placed 4 books on the counter.

"Of course, dear."

Lilith paid for the book, thanked Mrs Love, and went out of the shop.

She sat in her bodyguards' car, placing the books beside her.

"Josh, could you take me to the park? I really want some ice cream." She looked at him in the mirror.

"Of course, Miss Romanov."

"Please, just call me Lilith!"

"As you wish, Miss Lilith."

She groaned, knowing it was no use. He was still going to put 'Miss' first no matter what she told him to call her.

As the car stopped in front of the part Lilith opened the door. "Wait, what kind of ice cream do you want?"

"I do not want ice cream, Miss Lilith," Josh replied robotically.

"You don't like chocolate, right? I'll get you 5 scoops of vanilla. Be right back!" She jumped out of the car, running toward the ice cream.

"Hi! I'd like 5 scoops of vanilla and 5 scoops of chocolate, please. But in separate bowls." she smiled at the boy.

What she didn't know was that the De Lucas were watching her every step.

Right now they were trying to calm their nerves down, trying not to kill the boy right there and then.

"Coming right up, Miss!" The boy smiled and then winked at her.

"Oh no, that's it!" Matteo got up but Ace and Elijah pulled him down.

"Don't bother," Elijah whispered to him.

"Thank you." Lilith paid and left, not wanting to even look at the boy anymore.

She wasn't interested. It was that simple.
