Illusions (Enoch O'connor)

Chapter 6; Sparks

Zaira pov: 4years Ago;

" No way Riddian! There's no way! Like physically no way I can put that many sprinkles on my sundae!"

You may be asking what I'm doing.

Well I'm trying to make a delicious sundae!

" Sure you can! I mean all you gotta do is pop off the top and let the sprinkles fall!" He said with a sly smirk as he made his own delectable treat.
I looked at him and chuckled, " You are a strange man Mikanie." My voice comes out like a whisper as I try to put small proportion of sprinkles on the vanilla ice cream.

" Oh so your not Princess of sprinkles?" He says walking over to me.
I shake my head as he stands behind me and wraps his long arms around my waist. 

" Well if you don't like sprinkles..." His voice began to trail off.

Then I realized what he was doing.

Fuck.

He grabbed my hand and dumped them onto of my Ice cream. I squealed as he ruined my dessert.
When he finished his sabotage he was smiling at me eating his own Ice cream sundae.

I sat across from him as he ate his ice cream. I was pouting like a child.

My hands were crossed over my chest and my lips were over exaggeratedly puffed out. I glare at my boyfriend.

" Jerk..." I mumble under my breath.

I hear him laughing at me. God his laughter is contagious! I finally burst out laughing, the two of us were dying, and by the time we stopped I had forgotten about my massacred sundae delight.

Riddian leaned forwards on the table with his elbows. He scooped up a bit of his sundae on a spoon an fed it to me.
IT WAS SO GOOD!
There wasn't alot o sprinkles, and just the right amount of chocolate syrup!

I groaned in content as it melts in my mouth.

As my eyes travel up to meet Riddian's, I see his dirty look as he raises his eyebrows. I shake my head and smile.
" Fuck you man."

He raises an eyebrow again, " Do you mean fuck you, or fuck me, princess?"

I choke on air when I hear his words. What the actual fuck!

Riddian's smirk is making my heart pound deep in my chest, but at the same time I wanted to punch his shoulder. Why did he have this affect on me?

He's always been quite the charmer.

He chuckle an leaned across the table and kissed my cheek. " It's okay Princess. Here have another bite."

Thats how the next hour went. Us feeding each other and me complaining about my ruined sundae.

By the time we finished our sundae I was tired and ready for bed.
I rubbed my eyes an yawned.

Riddian says I look like a four year old when ever I do that, but I can't help it.
He smiles and gets up from his chair before walking over to me. He scoops me up in his arms.

" Awww is Little Ruvik tired?" He whispered lowly, trying to make sure he doesn't startle me with his loud man voice.
I nod in his chest before yawning again.
I can feel his laughter vibrate through me as he carried me up the stairs.

He stopped for a second.

" You guys are to fucking cute!" Rachel's voice hollored. Riddian shushed her as I turned in my sleep.
" I know." He replies before he keeps walking.

The door to his room opens and he lays me down on his bed before covering me in his blankets.
I felt him lightly kiss my forehead before walking over to his desk.

On his desk were paint an canvases. He was painting a picture, he would normally work on this painting alot but he wouldn't show me. He said he only wanted me to see it when it was perfect and finished.

Skillfully he painted. He loved painting.

He kept glancing at me to make sure I was still there.

His worse fear is that one day he wouldn't be able to protect her. He wouldn't be able to keep his promise to her.
But he had two choices.

The second option wasn't favorable.

He tried to keep his mind off it so he stood up from he desk. He grabbed his chair and pulled up to the bed side where Zaira was peacefully asleep.

He looked at her and analyzed her face. She had a scar you could barely see just below her eye, and a slightly my prominent one on her right cheek.

She suddenly started whimpering. Her eyes squeezed shut as she mumbled help.

He stood up and got in bed with her. He wrapped his arms around her small waist and pull her closer. He kissed her cheek softly.
He leans his head down to her ears and whisper.

" Zai....It's okay. I'm right here. Everything's okay, nothing is going to happen to you. I won't let it."

She became slient.

The only sound of there breaths.

This was there favorite thing to do. Cuddle.
