Smooth Criminal

Chapter 4

Mia's POV

Just as I think we are about to kiss, I pull away.

"What are you doing?" I scream at him.

He looks away. For a second I think his cheeks change color but I'm pretty sure it's just the lighting.

"I-I'm sorry. I thought I saw something on your face. It was n-nothing." Johnnie tells me.

Now I feel bad for yelling at him.

"It's okay. I'm also sorry. For yelling." I say, "Just tell me next time." I add softly.

He just nods.

I walk back upstairs to my room and go to bed.

Johnnie's POV

I stayed in the study after she left.

I thought we were going to have a moment but she yelled at me.

Maybe I just need to give her time. She did just get into an argument with those other people.

°°°°°

I woke up the next morning really hungry.

I went downstairs to the kitchen and saw Mia sitting at the dining room table eating. She had a plate full of food. I wasn't sure if she would be able to finish it all.

Before I could ask if I got any, she pointed at the counter island.

There was plates and bowls of breakfast foods along with many pitchers of liquids. For a main dish, there was breakfast burrito's and omelettes. For a side dish, you had eggs, bacon, rolls, and toast. There was whipped cream, different types of syrup, and strawberries as toppings for all different types of pancakes and waffles. Chocolate chip ones, blueberry ones, peanut butter and chocolate ones. For drinks, there was OJ, AJ, regular milk, chocolate milk, and coffee with different flavors and creams I have not even heard of.

I just stood and stared for what felt like 20 mintues. It probably wasn't though.

Mia broke the silence, "Are you just gonna stare or eat something?"

I grabbed the biggest plate I could find and just piled on a bit of everything.

When I sat down, I started stuffing my face.

That's when I heard someone giggling which progessed to laughter. Then a chair fell on the floor with a laughing Mia going with it. She was holding her stomach and laughing so hard I thought something was wrong. It was so loud that her butler, Pedro, came in. When he glanced at me, he started chuckling. Mia had started crying beacause of how hard she was laughing and Pedro had to leave the room because he couldn't contain his laughter anymore.

Mia had grabbed a glass of water and-.

"Hey!" I yelled at her.

She had spit all the water at me.

She stared for a couple minutes then burst into laughter again.

"At. Least. You're. Face. Is. A Little. Cleaner." Mia spoke between laughs.

That's when I realized they were laughing at moi.

Me.

I grabbed a spoon and looked at myself. The whole bottom half of my face was covered in food. My white T-shirt was stained with syrup and orange juice.

I went to the bathroom (mostly 'cause I had to pee) and washed my face and hands.

When I came back, Mia had composed herself and was putting away the leftovers of breakfast.
