《Mr Reigns》Chapter 8: New Friendship
Advertisement
So here I was.
Sitting in a Ferrari with a Sexy man next to me.
Feeling bored as fuck.
I turned my head to look at Kale. He had a frown on his face. Well, he always has a frown on his face. He seemed to be focusing on the road. His hands tightened around the steering wheel. His knuckles turned white.
"Can you stop staring at me?" Kale suddenly asked. My eyes widened. Shit.
"I'm sorry" I quickly apologized. I must have looked like a freaking creep. I mentally face palmed myself. I was so stupid. Blame Kale and his good looks.
"Why did you agree finally?" Kale asked. I turned my head to look at him again. Did he really talk to me? I blinked several times, then finally licked my lips before talking.
"It will actually benefit our business. So why not?" I said with a shrug. He gave a curt nod. His stubbles made him look so hot. "Who told you to pick me up?" I asked.
"Stella" he answered. I nodded, not knowing what to say more. I was getting tired of this stagnant atmosphere. I rolled my eyes at how annoying it was. Why was the way to my home seeming to lengthen today?
"Kale" I started. He turned to look at me with his piercing green eyes. He looked surprised. Why? "We are both going to be in this rumor stuffs for a long time" I said. "So why not try to be friends?" I proposed. Again, he seemed surprised. He stopped the car. We were finally in front of my house.
"Friend with you?" he asked as if it was an offense. I rolled my eyes and opened the door.
"I know I'm not your type of people" I said. "But we can still try" I told him.

"My type of people?" he asked.
"Snobby and Rich" I said and again, his eyes widened. Seems like he wasn't used to honest people in his life.
"You're rich" he deadpan.
"But I'm not snobby and fake" I told him as I got out of the car.
"We can't be friends if you're going to insult me" Kale said smartly. I chuckled and shook my head. I turned to look at me as I closed the door.
"This is not called insulting. It is called being honest. And some honest people is what you need in your life" I told him. He stared at me, trying to decipher what state of mind i was in. I grinned and started to turn so that I was now facing the alley of my house.
"I'm good with the friendship thing" Kale said from his car before I could walk away. Turning back to look at me, I muster the biggest smile that I could and stared at him.
"Nice! I'll see you later, friend!" I faked happiness while showing him a thump up. Kale simply shook his head and drove away.
Friend with Kale Reigns?
This friendship sure appears to be interesting.
I walked to the door while humming a song. Well, the ride went a lot better than what I was expecting. I opened the door and walked in the house. Mom was not at home. She was most probably at work right now. I could hear the maids talking in the kitchen. I walked to them and they all smiled when they saw me.
"How is it going?" Evil, one of the two maids present, asked.
"I'm good. What about you guys?" I asked. As most of the times, I'd be home on my own, I bonded with the maids. Evie and Rosalie were the two maids with whom I got along.

"As usual they're good and gossiping!" Scott, the cook said as he walked in the kitchen. Ah. And there was Scott. He was around the forties. He was amazing.
"I'm hungry" I told him with a sheepish smile. He smiled back and placed a plate of spaghetti in front of me. "Did you have lunch?" I asked them, resulting in them shaking their heads.
"We were waiting for you" Rosalie said as she sat next to me. I smiled and watched as Scott placed their food in front of them. They were all settled around the table, ready to eat when I heard the doorbell. Rosalie made a move to stand up and I quickly shook my head.
"I'll open. You eat." I told her and stood up. As I walked down the corridor to the door, I could hear Rosalie and Evie talking about how Scott's food was good. When I reached the door, I opened it and frowned when I saw Kale.
"You forgot your phone in my car" Kale said while holding my rose gold iPhone in his hand. I smiled and took it from him.
"Thank you for bringing it back" I said. He stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say. "You're supposed to say 'You're welcome'" I told him. He licked his dry lips before opening his mouth to actually talk.
"I-" he went to talk and by the look on his face, I knew that he was not going to say what I was expecting so I quickly shook my head as an idea formed. I opened the door wider and motioned him to walk in.
"I'm going to eat spaghetti for lunch. Do you want to join me?" I cut him off and when I saw that he was about to refuse, I pouted. "For the sake of this new friendship?" I added. Kale stared at me. "Come on, you can't refuse spaghetti!" I exclaimed.
"Fine. I'm hungry" Kale said as he walked in.
"It wouldn't hurt if you actually smiled" I added as I closed the door. He simply turned to look at me with rose eyebrows.
"Give me a reason to" he said and I huffed.
"Spaghetti! That's a good reason" I exclaimed. I felt quite proud of myself when I saw amusement glimmering in his eyes.

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
