Mafia QUEEN Retiring on Eighteen

12. Lilly

He slowly raised his head to see why she stopped right there.
Her eyes...
For a split of second  her eyes had the queen in it.
It looked like she is carrying it all the way along.
Moon light.
Stars.
Cold breeze.
Balcony.
Everything is perfect.
But those eyes.. those eyes need something different.

He couldn't help it.
He leaned toward her ears, slowly putting his palm over hers, he whispered
"That Queen, she deserves a tight hug".

It was something no one ever told her. Maybe the most sweetest word she wished to hear . He got her there for a second. 
"That's too much of a Joke Ordell "
she stood up and said firmly.
"It's as if you are siding with a criminal "
Charlie kept her roughness.

"I know,  it's ridiculous " He also stood up and walked toward the table with Fish bowl in the other corner.
"Do you have a name for it "
He sounded bit curious.

"Name??? !!" Charlie is hearing such a custom for the very first time.
Do people name these things?
Wow.. it will be cute...  it will really sound as if someone's with me in my room if i name it... wow..

But what will i name?  Something related to him?? !!

"Yeah Name...  Don't you have any name in your mind?? "
He turned his head towards balcony where she is standing in moonlight.
She isn't looking at him.
She looked like a child who is searching for a name. 
Finally her eyes widened, she turned towards the corner with  a happy smile as if she found something great, and said
"YEAAHHH... 
LILLY... Lilly...  isn't Lilly ever best name???? "
She is really excited because she never thought she can beautifully connect him to another name.

Lilly...
A May Lily? !
A May Lily is a symbol  that means "RETURN TO HAPPINESS ".
Yes for some reason i feel like he is gonna be the one who will help me return to happiness.
Maybe in other way he is so much beautiful and pure that i don't dare to make it mine.
Anyway it suits him well..
This fish,  it's him.
Lilly.

"Lilly?
It's a beautiful name "
He smiled at her.  His 'father looking' smile made her realise she was acting completely childish.

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
Charlie recognised its Ellen by her silent walking phase.

Turning toward the wall which is next to her bed he said,
"You have a visitor !
I'll be leaving then. Sleep well ."
After taking one more second to look carefully into the wall he turned to her , and paused for a moment and went out.

Ellen Knocked again. Charlie didn't let her come in. Ellen kept waiting outside her room while Charlie sat back on the sofa and spent the whole night looking at the moon.

Ellen felt that something is coming up.
She waited. Standing there ,till she let her in. But the whole night passed.

In the morning Charlie called her in.

"NEVER DARE REPEAT IT.
Never DARE to test me again you SLAVE"

A bristling voice came from the  sofa facing balcony, as of a Lion King hiding in darkness.
