Chapter 38

LOUIS' POV

I jumped as I heard the alarm in my phone, I sighed and turned it off, I fell asleep and Mint was not on his bed. I wore my slippers and entered the bathroom. "It has been a while since I used this bathroom" I inhaled the fragrance of the rose water mixed with the warm atmosphere. "Ugh! It's the flowers again"

...

I dressed in a zebra-colored shirt, black joggers trousers and white sneakers. I took a black shade from the golden rack of different designs by the edge of the silver mirror. "This is how celebs look, right?" I said, placing it on my tousled hair

I darted my eyes as I heard the sound of the door. Nicholas held Mint with both hands "Your food is ready, should I bring it?" I waited for a second then nodded.

"Hey Nick, how do I look?" I asked casually. "You look great," he glanced. Nicholas is usually in his all-black uniform, black sleeves, trousers, boots, short leather gloves and his security earpiece, he rarely puts on his dark glasses indoors, he dresses in black suits only for special occasions, my Dad made an exception because of me. 

"Ahem... I think I'll eat somewhere else," I put my palms together and Mint hopped on it, he snuggled in my hands with a soft squeak "Aww... I missed you too buddy,"

I went to the passengers, just like telepathy. My food was arranged on a white table, fruits and vegetables salad with a bottle of milk by the corner "oh... veggies" I mumbled with slumped shoulders. 

I dropped Mint on the table and rested on the soft cushioned leather chair. Mint stood on two feet as he stared at me with his big black eyes "Here you go little guy" I took a slice of strawberry and brought it to his mouth, I smiled at the fast movement of his cheeks.

"Young master, your father warned you not to take that animal out of the mansion" Leonardo walked in with six men behind. I dropped my spoon slowly then paused "excuse me? What did you just call him?" I raised a brow.

Leonardo cleared his throat with a smile "I-I didn't mean to offend you, young master, I-I'm just trying to protect it" he forced a smile. I inhaled then stared into his eyes "First, I advise you to get used to his name, Mint, that's the only way to address him. I had no one to take care of him, that's why he's here. Mint trusts me and Nick only." 

"Yes sir, noted," Leonardo replied, "Yeah... not that you have a choice" I chuckled with a smirk. He waited for a while before he bowed and left.

"Geez, Leo didn't have to bring his army, so dramatic" Nicholas scoffed, "I know right? I hate that guy," when I was done eating I sat on the floor and pulled out a tiny ball from my pocket, Mint laid on his belly with his four legs stretched. He knew it was playtime. I rolled the ball to him and he rolled it back with his little hands. 

"Louis, are you comfortable?" Nicholas asked, I gave him a thumbs up then continued.

"Please take your seats for landing" the pilot announced, I buckled up and held Mint with both hands as we landed. 

My eyes widened as I looked through the window, a multitude of screaming fans wearing my merchandise held different cardboards and banners with various inscriptions and colours, I also recognized the few foreign country flags in the crowd. 

Mint flinched as my phone buzzed next to him, I couldn't help but laugh at his cute reaction "you're so funny," I chuckled before picking.

"Young master, we are at the airport, you can come now"

"Okay, I'm coming" I hung up and turned, Nicholas, Leonardo and his men were ready. I held Mint on one hand as I stood up "let's go"

"Young master..." I stopped as I heard Leonardo "... the bunny, I-I mean Mint." He was right, I couldn't show off Mint, he deserves all the love in this world. If he starts to trend and make the headlines again my Dad will get rid of him for good. 

Nicholas held a tiny silver cage, it had layers of red sheets with small pillows, by the edge was some diced vegetables. "Don't worry buddy, it will be over before you know it" I smiled dryly before his cage was locked. Nicholas used a black cloth to cover it "he's safe with me" Nicholas grinned at me. 

I brought my shades to the bridge of my nose and looked at the mirror hanging on the wall by the right, I adjusted some strands of my hair to my satisfaction "okay, I'm done" 

As the door opened a new wave of cheers filled the atmosphere, "I love you L-elevators!" I waved with a grin, the crowd went wild and they waved their banners vigorously. 

I waved at the paparazzi swarming at both sides of the silver stairs, immediately my feet stepped on the land of Diadora. The paparazzi stuffed my face with their flashing lights as they called me severally at all corners. 

They adjusted as they saw the hefty structure of the men around me. The black Bugatti reversed and we quickly entered. 

I took down the tinted glass and waved my fans as we zoomed off.
