The Queen and the Slave

Chp 19- The lunch

Stephanie's POV

The lunch.

How hard could three dominants and a second in command in lunch be?

Well.... difficult.

We all sat down around the table, in silence that even neddy kept looking around like he was expecting them to say something. Me and Steven did the same too but we still didn't say anything neither did they.

A few slaves kept asking sweetly if we needed a refill of champagne or any other desert they came with but we ended up declining. I noticed Lydia was there too, she was silently asking too before leaving to the kitchen.

Pearl sat there with a raised brow and her hair loose, she wore green baggy clothes, Emmanuel was in a hoddie and jeans...he ate his lunch without focusing on any of us. Kieran was purely pissed because he wasn't sitting in the head of the table anymore, his sharp muscline face was filled with irritation. David was the definition of pale but he kept on eating, Steven and Neddy including myself kept looking at everyone sheepishly.

Daniel sat at the head of the table with a smirk while twisting his food like he didn't want to eat. I knew very well that my dad sent him here for a specific reason but I think I knew what.

"So...." Daniel started smoothly while looking at Neddy who suddenly raised a brow like he noticed something we all didn't "you're the chosen host?"

"Um y-yea?" Neddy said shyly and as expected, he shared a damn plate with Pearl. Daniel started smiling beautifully while his hair fell over his shoulders like rain.

"And who is your mother?"

Pearl chocked before covering it as a cough, me and Steven passed each other a look before eating and observing the scene before us. Neddy looked at Pearl before raising a brow and Pearl raised one back before she suddenly nodded.

"Margaret Smith."

"Mmmhnmm.... and you were from an orphanage?"

"Yup."

"And then this orphanage suddenly burned?"

"Yeahhh but you see, I was already adopted. Creak has rare criminals which shocked me when I found out that some criminals burned it." Neddy lied smoothly and his face was neutral.... he's good, I would have sweated.

"I see so what's that bruise on your left cheek?"

"Ohhhh, I sort of got beaten up." He smiled sheepishly.

"Ahhhhh, well how are you David?"

David swallowed before looking up hesitantly.

"Good, you?"

"Perfect. I do worry about your obsession with said phone."

David raised a brow "my phone is just fine..." And looked at his meal silently but I had a feeling that he was done talking. Daniel just smirked before relaxing on his chair and finishing his wine. Luckily the slaves knew better and came to refill it but it was Lydia. I couldn't help looking at her short hair, it looked better actually. She didn't linger long.

"Um Steven how are you?"

Steven almost dropped his fork but composed himself "ah am football tired."

"Aha, how's the cheerleader team?"

For some reason Steven blushed and mumbled a simple "ok."

"And Pearl... how are you?. I see you returned to being fear itself."

"Tsk." Was Pearl's response "look at you, showing up here looking like my damn King. You should have told us your big ass was coming here so we could make you feel more welcomed."

Of course Pearl didn't give a shit if Daniel had higher status, she only spoke shit because she was a badass dominant. Daniel just pouted childishly.

"Where's the fun in that?"

"Exactly." Pearl said before feeding neddy who opened his mouth.

"And you Kieran--"

"Fine." He snapped.

"Ooooh--"

"Everything is damn peachy." Kieran interrupted again before rolling his eyes. Daniel just smirked before looking at me, I smiled respectfully although I felt like slapping him for coming unannounced.

"Am ok Daniel, and my life was just well... shocking."

"Yes...with the--" he stopped midsentence when a servant placed a huge pie on the table while the others came with six more small ones. Daniel looked around before reaching for the huge one the same time Pearl, David and Kieran reached for it.

"Woah! Motherfuckers am sharing this with my boo." Pearl snapped "let go."

"Ah nooo...am taking it." David roared back and Emmanuel who has been avoiding everyone finally looked at them all like they are children, Steven just placed his hand on his face while neddy dropped his mouth in disbelief.

They are fighting over a stupid pie.

"Am the damn guest so it's mine." Daniel said trying to pull the large pie to himself.

"And am the damn motherfucking bitchy heir... it's mine hoes." Kieran said.

I slowly stood up because I knew exactly what was coming, judging from Pearl's hands... that moved to the spaghetti.

"Neddy, Emnanuel, Steven." I whispered as Pearl finally held the plate filled with spaghetti "Run!!"

Neddy, Emmanuel and Steven quickly ran out of the dining room with me on their tails. Pearl already threw the spaghetti on Daniel's face who grabbed the barbecue sauce and threw it at Kieran and a food fight rose to a hand to hand fight. We all just peaked through the dining room as Pearl grabbed Kieran's hair and Kieran was punching Daniel who was pulling David's feet like he was a doll.

All for the largest damn pie.

"Does this happen frequently?" Neddy asked as he pulled his glasses before they fell on to the floor.

"Kind of." Steven mumbled "dominants don't like receiving small things."

"But it's a pie?!!" He said with pure disbelief. Emmanuel chuckled before pushing us to the living room.

"Get used it...we are all hosts here." Emmanuel said.

"Wait... Emmanuel you are a host?" Neddy asked breathlessly and Emnanuel nodded "but the muscles--"

"That's actually a look." He replied "now let's chill for one moment without stupid dominants...aurgh I was really enjoying the meal."

"I know the slaves sure know how to cook." Steven praised and that made me laugh a bit.

"Duh...I taught them."

"And you did good." Neddy praised before flicking through the channels making sure that he increased the volume because the fighting idiots were loud.

And we just chilled.
