Burning Desire (Alastor X Reader)

Chapter 21: This is not Paella

*

As you had just returned to the hotel lobby you almost ran into Boris. The wolf-dog was slightly startled at the sight of you. He couldn't help laughing and clumsily placed a hand behind his head while his ears lowered embarrassingly.

*

"Oh, I'm sorry, little boss, I was in a bit of a hurry."

"You don't have to apologize Boris, I don't want to be indiscreet but, where are you going? "

*

At that moment Alastor entered the hall singing lightly through a few radio noises here and there. Boris saw him immediately and couldn't help but frown scornfully.

You threw a discreet glance over your shoulder while ignoring the tempting smell that made you want to let him know that he was getting hungry.

Alastor gently tapped his jacket to remove what seemed to be a few tiny specks of dust before readjusting his hair.

You quickly understood what he was doing. He was listening.

Boris looked at him with disgust and then gave you a smile.

*

"Well, I'm going to do the 'little errand' you asked me to do when we were talking with Charlie and Vaggie about the hotel, remember?"

You thought for a few seconds and then you put a smile on your face.

"Ah yes, the "Vodka." " You said cheerfully.

Boris couldn't help but laugh slightly as you could hear Alastor tilt his head in confusion.

"Yes, yes, that's it. How many would you need? »

"Mmmmh well I think it should be 5 bottles of excellent quality, I want them to be reliable and to rip the palate off of anyone who dares to drink them."

Boris placed one hand under his chin as he enjoyed the sight of Alastor, who, although he was doing his best not to show it, was completely lost and was doing his best to decode what you were saying.

"Ok 5 bottles of very good quality minimum, I'll see where I can find that for you, but where do you want me to bring it to you. "

*

This time you knew Alastor was listening carefully. So you used your hands to answer.

"Come on, Boris, don't you have any ideas? I thought you knew me better than that~" You pretended to tease, but while you were talking you used your hands to tell through sign language where he had to go.

"Go to the bar 5 minutes from my place "The Liberty" you can't miss it it's completely dilapidated, the owner was killed in the last extermination. It'll be a good rallying point. You can renovate it as you wish, I give it to you, it will be a good protection for them since it's on my area. "

...

"Oh yes, I see what you mean now," replied Boris, moving his hands to answer you subjectively.

"All right, little boss, though, I'll probably be home pretty late, so let Charlie know."

"I'm glad to hear that," you replied. "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything here"

"All right then, see you later " He turned to Alastor who had a suspicious look on his face and gave him a big mischievous smile before leaving the hotel.

The deer turned his head towards you and raised an eyebrow.

"Vodka?" he asked suspiciously.
