Delilah's reign

skyfall

                  ALONZO'S POV

"Miss Delilah?"
"

Oh Rowan how many times do I have to ask you to stop calling me miss?
I'm okay with Del"

I waited patiently wondering when she'd notice or at least let the guard speak

"Miss Delilah... 'er... Del... you have a visitor"
"Who?"
"Me"
The shock was visible in the way she tensed
And as she turned to face me I couldn't help but notice the huge smudge of syrup on her face staining her perfectly shaped full lips
"How can I help you" she said
"There are some issues that needs to be discussed"
"Next time you choose to show up at my house uninvited, give me a heads up" she said wiping of the smudge off her face

I looked at her wondering how she could have gotten so much syrup on her face as my eyes trailed down her long legs...

"Lorenzo you were saying?"

"Yes,... the council members advised that we hasten the marriage and by that I mean they want us married in three months"

"Three what?... What do you mean three months?"

"Let me finish, you're coming with me today so pack your bags"

"Haha... Haha... hahaha... a joke this is a joke some kinda dumb joke, listen if you came all the way dressed all fancy to play some kinda shitty prank on me then know it didn't work, I'm not falling for it"

"Look, I dont fancy this either and I do not have time to waste on irrelevant talks... so do as I say, pack your bags and let's go"

I watched as she looked at me in utter disbelief and shock and I smirked on the inside knowing I had struck a nerve... she stormed off up the stairs making sure the sound of her feet making contacting with the ground was loud enough to course a headache.

Moments later she came down the stairs with two boxes And the same outfit she had on earlier.
" let's go... Rowan take my bags to my car"
" you'll be riding with me"

" keep dreaming Gucci"

Gucci? Why did she call me Gucci?...

"The bags go in my car and as I said You are ridding with me" I said with more authority and command making her shiver a bit.

The guard looked at her for permission and when she nod her head I knew I had won

The drive to my house was silent and long with only the sound of the car engine being heard

When we finally reached the house I stepped out of the car signalling for a guard to come take her bags

Wondering why she hadn't come out yet I stepped close to the door about to open it when she pushed the door open heading straight out of the car and towards the front of the house like she knew the place...

I walked steadily after her intrigued as to how feisty she was

DEL'S POV

Pulling up at the mansion i was engulfed in multiple thoughts
"was this the last i would see of my father?
Was I ever going to go home again... And why did I feel a certain wave of relief"

Still engulfed in my thoughts I didn't notice when Alonzo appeared by the door and I pushed it open...
I must admit it felt good cuz I still held grudges from that day at the gathering and this morning, i didn't finish my food...

I walked fast knowing I didn't have a clue where I was heading then stoped in from of what seemed to be the entrance as I saw Alonzo walk up from behind and held the door open for me.
