[I reckon I should have updated this chapter yesterday but due to my ability of becoming a lazy ass, I wasn't able to finish it. For that inconvenience please accept my sincere apology.] :-P

"Princess!"

I look up only to get thrown on my back because a small bundle of energy also known as little Ben decides it would be cool to jump on me while I am on my knees counting left over books. I let out a grunt as my bum collides with the hard ground.

He clings to me like monkey, wrapping his arm and legs around me. "I missed you!" He shouts in my ear.

What?

Surprised, I hug him back, "I missed you too, Ben."

"Ben!" A man's voice reaches us loudly followed by his big figure. Mr. Parker takes in the sight of us and fights hard to keep his stoic demeanor on.

He clears his throat, and addresses his son, "Ben, what the hell are you doing? Get off Miss. Ray."

Ben shakes his head stubbornly, "No! I missed my princess."

I glance back to Mr. Parker helplessly. He just grins and look over his shoulder. His wife Helena who is very pregnant appears beside him looking furious.

"Benjamin Elias Parker! Come here this instant!" She shouts, making Ben tighten his hold on me.

"Princess please save me." He whispers on my ears ignoring his mother's demand.

"What did you do?" I whisper back, knowing very well he must have done something terrible to get this second degree.

"Nothing bad, I just gave her lipsticks to my girlfriends. I have one left, I'll give it to you if you save me from her now." Bloody hell. He is still negotiating in this condition.

Now I understand his sudden display of affection. He thinks I could save him from his mother. Clearly he doesn't know there is no fury like a pregnant woman's, even his father is not coming in between.

His mother moves forward and grabs him by ear, pulling him back, "You little devil! How dare you to touch my lipsticks! You gave them all away! You just wait till we get back home."

Taking all the enjoyment I could from the scene, I awkwardly stand up, dusting my butt.

Damn that hurts like hell.

"Ow. Mum, I said I'm sorry. I promise next time I will ask you before touching them." Ben cries, trying to get his ear free.

Helena's scowl darkens, "You are not touching them again! You hear me?"

"Yes mum." He mutter without a trace of sincerity.

"And you will not go near any of my make up kit!"

"But mum, what I'm supposed to give my girlfriends? They like your stuffs and they let me kiss them in return." Ben argues.

My mouth drops open. Is he for real? Oh yes, he is. Its just I keep forgetting he is future ladies man.

Mr. Parker snickers but one glare from Helena shuts him up, "Then grow up and start earning to give your girlfriends these stuff but don't even think about mine."
