Mr. Heartbreaker's Lollipop

XIV- Am I ever going to see my best friend again

Mr Heartbreaker and I had bickered a little over the amount of cereal he put for me as I don't eat much and insisted he joined me.

Seth had finally gotten up from under the table where he was hiding from Asian girl, Mala. They had exchanged a few selective words over their strange looking meal which could be noodles in another world but it looked green.

Now, everyone was done with breakfast. Breakfast?

My eyes must have started to blink rapidly- it does that when I am under pressure- because Mr Heartbreaker asked if I was okay. No, I wasn't.

"What time is is?"

"It's eleven thirty," He answers slowly and I nod my head, grabbing another cup of pineapple juice.

"A.M." He finishes and I choke on my fruit juice.

After a dozen pats on the back by three pair of hands, I felt as good as new, and ready to try my tongue at talking, again.

So, It's morning. A new day.

Everyone looks at me and if I wasn't so stupid I would have felt the tension in the room earlier. Mala was smiling a little too wide, Mr Heartbreaker was being too good, and Seth was being... Well, Seth.

I stand up and walk away from the dining table, away from the three weird people in the room, away from Mr Heartbreaker's distraction. I walk towards the glass door which leads out to a balcony looking over a beautiful garden. I walk up to hold the railings and stare into the morning skies.

It's a beautiful day.

"Is she going to commit suicide?"

"Does she remember?"

Seth and Mala start to argue about my mental status. According to Mala, I had amnesia, but Seth insisted I was going crazy from remembering last night and that I was going to commit purposely fall off the balcony. I smile as I listen to them argue about everything imaginable and only freeze when I heard Seth tell Mala that I was horny last night and Mr Heartbreaker had stayed with me throughout the night, so who knew what we had done.

I wait for Mala's reply and breath in relief when she tells Seth he is crazy. But then she adds, "It would suck if my high and mighty brother had sex with a girl in comma."

"Shut up, both of you!" Mr Heartbreaker bellows and I turn to watch them scurry out of the sight.

Not wanting him to see me watching, I turn back to stare at the ducks waddling in the little pond at one side of the garden. Debating within myself if the ducks are real or plastic does nothing to abate my awareness of Mr Heart's presence.

Did we do something last night? Or did I suddenly reach the height of self awareness.

Why didn't anyone wake me up to change out of last nights clothes? I should've at least showered.

"Lollipop, I want to talk to you." He approaches me cautiously and stop when he see my fingers tighten over the balcony railing.

"Listen to me before you jump." He says, sounding resigned, and I glare at him, finally turning to face him.

"You're seriously not going with Seth's theory, are you?"

"You heard." He concludes.

"They weren't trying to not be heard."

He chuckles and I try to keep a serious face and fail horribly. When we are done smiling and exchanging gooey eyes, the silence that follows is more than a little awkward.

I clear my throat.

"I have a few questions."

"Of course," he mutters and leads me to a cushion at the far end of the balcony where we sit facing each other.

"I promise to answer all of your questions." He adds with a lopsided smile that makes me want to blush, badly.

Why the hell can't I blush!

"First off, I need you to explain to me what happened last night."

"So, Mala was right?"

"Oh I can remember alright up to the time your sister fist punched me. I just can't remember parts when I lost consciousness due to your sister's punch."

I am breathing heavily when I finish talking and have to take deep breathes to keep myself from getting angry, but my mouth won't shut up.

"I mean, when I said to take me to your home, I didn't ask to be kidnapped and used as a punching bag. Are you always like this? Mere minutes after meeting you at the party, you took me to a racing place where I got physically abused and locked up in a cage by your sister!" I am shouting at the top of my lungs and shaking all over by this time.

Strong arms wrap around me in a hug until my body stops wracking and I start to sob quietly.

"Am I ever going to see my best friend again?"

Mr Heartbreaker continues to hug me tightly and hush me causing me to cry all the more. I only stop crying when I hear someone coughing not so discreetly.

"Leave her to me, Son." The silver-haired lady says to her son as she walks up to us.

"I am not leaving her to you. She's my business and I'll handle her."

"No, I know what she wants. They all want a piece of your money and I know how to deal with little girls like this. So, leave her to me."

I really want to point out that I can hear them talk about me like I'm not here but the intensity of the conversation stops me.

"I said No." Mr Heartbreaker simply says and crosses his legs as he makes himself comfortable on the cushion.

Don't drool over him, his mother is here.

The mother in question stares at her son and when she realises he wasn't going to jump out of the cushion and run off to play with sand, she sighs and walks up to me.

"Listen honey," She places her well groomed fingers on my shoulders and I try to stop myself from cringing.

"I understand you feel scared and alone and you do deserve some explanation which no one here has the time to give you. So, I want you to take this and leave. I hope this is enough to console you for all the stress you had to pass through last night."

The silver-haired lady opens my palm and hands me a paper and my android. When I look at the paper, it's a cheque of a hundred thousand dollars, above average high escort fee.

I blush profusely and run for my dear life. Only, no one sees me blushing, they just see me dashing off.

A/N: I know, I'm a horrible person, I promised to give answers but I didn't. At this point, I am no longer writing the Lollipop X Heartbreaker story, the story be writing itself.
