Lily's life has been nothing but struggle. Just when things couldn't get worse, her life takes a drastic turn. A turn for the better, or a turn for the worst?
⚠️TRIGGER...
Lily adjusted the pillows behind her and leaned back as she reached for her laptop to shop for a chandelier.
After shopping for a little over an hour, she had found three chandeliers that she particularly liked, but she couldn't decide which would better suit the nursery's theme.
She was so focused on comparing the images that she didn't notice Leeknow propped in the doorway with his arms folded over his chest, staring in admiration.
He watched her different expressions as she carried on her internal debate, quietly chuckling when she would make certain faces.
She finally made her decision and clicked the purchase option as she bit her lip with excitement.
"You're so damn cute." He finally said as he shoved off of the doorframe and stepped in, closing the door behind him.
Lily snapped her head up and smiled as she rolled her eyes at him. "Why am I- 'so damn cute?' She asked, using air quotes as she lowered her voice to a mocking tone to mimic his.
He shrugged as he made his way to the bed. "All the faces you make when you're focused on something." He replied with a sly grin.
"ALL the faces I make? So you've been watching me? Fucking stalker." She teased, pretending to be offended.
"It's my favorite pastime. What can I say?" He smuggly replied as he crawled onto the bed.
She shook her head as she giggled as he settled in next to her. He peeked at the computer screen and smiled. "I like that. For sweetpea's room?" He asked as he flicked his eyes back to hers.
"Yep!" She proudly exclaimed as she shut the laptop and twisted to place it on the nightstand.
"It's gonna be perfect." He hummed as he pecked her lips. "You wanna go to Topline with me in the morning?"
She backed away from him as an eerie, sadistic smile played on her lips. "For Kang?"
He gave a quick, shallow nod. "Yep. We're done with him, so he's all yours."
"We can pick Dae up on the way, right?" She asked in a hopeful tone.
He softly smiled and replied, "Of course, sweet girl. Tell her to be ready by 11."
Lily gave him a quick kiss of gratitude before grabbing her phone to message Dae.

Lily laughed once again as she tossed the phone to the side, shaking her head. She had been giggling throughout the conversation.
Leeknow peeked over from his phone with an amused expression. "You two seem to be getting closer."
He sat his phone to the side as she twisted her body to lay on her back with her head on his thigh. She locked eyes with him and asked, "It doesn't bother yall, does it?"
He traced her hairline with his fingertips before resting his hand on her cheek. "Not in the slightest bit, sweet girl." He replied with a slight chuckle.
"Good." She simply stated. "Oh!" She squealed as she launched from his lap. "I have an idea." She stated as she stretched out to reach her phone.
"Oh lord." He said with a teasingly exasperated tone as her threw his head back against the mound of pillows she had positioned against the headboard.
She turned around and stuck her tongue out as she raised the phone to her ear.
JK: Sparky! How my favorite niece feeling tonight?
LILY: Hey Uncle J! Adventurous. Listen- I have an idea-
JK: Oh lord
LILY: You and Leeknow both! What's with the 'Oh lord' bullshit.
JK: Because we know you- <Leeknow: We know you!>
LILY: Both of you- kiss my ass
JK: HA! Ok, ok. I'm listening
LILY: Can you get ahold of some rats by tomorrow morning?
<Leeknow: RATS!?> JK: HAHAHA! Sparky- what the fuck do you want with rats?
LILY: Humor me. Can you get some? And maybe a metal bucket? And I'll need the blowtorch.
JK: Dear lord, girl you scare the hell outta me, you know that?
LILY: Well judging by the look on Min's face- you ain't the only one. So can you?
JK: Girl- who do you think I am? Of course I can.
LILY: You're the best! Also- Dae is definitely coming tomorrow. I know since she's new, she'll need to be searched, but-
JK: I've already assigned Tablo to her, just as I did with you.
LILY: Again- you're the best. See you tomorrow!
JK: See ya tomorrow.
"Lily- kitten- sweet girl- what the actual fuck?" Leeknow questioned with arched brows and a morbidly amused expression.
She shrugged and replied, "What? It's for Dae!"
He gave a judgmental look and crossed his arms over his chest as he responded with a sarcastic undertone. "Dae asked for rats?"
"Yes and no." She replied as she opened the conversation on her phone and held it up for him to read.
He threw his head back in laughter. "Wow." He said as he shook his head. "And you still haven't told her what you do?"
"Nope!" She replied proudly as she hopped off the bed and placed her phone on the nightstand.
He narrowed his eyes and watched her intently as she hooked her fingers in the waistline of her shorts and underwear. "I'm excited about tomorrow. It's gonna be so fun." She casually spoke, as she pushed them over her thighs, allowing them to drop to the ground.
The fascinated and amused expression never left his face as he studied her nonchalant behavior.
"Don't say anything to her about the rats, though-" She continued as she yanked her shirt over her head and tossed it to the side.
He rolled his tongue across his bottom lip and his eyes were darkening with lust, as she crawled up the bed. "I want that part to be a surprise."
She shoved her fingers in his waistband and tugged. Without saying a word or changing his demeanor, he raised his hips enough for her to slide his pants and underwear out from under him. "I was actually thinking-"
He placed his hand on either side of her face and gently guided her toward him as he leaned forward, shortening the gap between them.
"What are you doing, Kitten?" He asked with a growing smirk.
She flashed a mischievous grin and replied, "Well, if you're not getting the idea- then I'm clearly doing something wrong-"
