CHAPTER 29: Impossible

He is here! Scar will gonna see him!

I am screaming internally.

I run outside my room to stop Scar from opening the door but I am too late.

She already opened the door and it is funny. You know why? Scar's is in shock. Her eyes were wide, mouth gaping and she is still grasping the door knob as if it is the one who is holding her up properly and Gideon is expressionless.

Gideon saw me immediately and entered our flat without any warning.

He went towards me and kisses my forehead.

He guides me to the couch and place the pizza and other containers on the coffee table. Scar is still standing beside the door still in shock.

"Scar!"

Nothing. I'll try again.

"SCARLET!"

She's out in stupor when I shouted her name again.

She closes the door and made her way in front of us.

Looking indecisively. She looks at me and ask.

"Ella please explain to me what's happening."

What is happening? I look at Gideon asking for some help but he just raise his eyebrows. Wow. So helpful.

"What do you mean?"

She pointed at Gideon. "Him! Why is he here in our flat?"

"Him?" I pointed at Gideon to clarify.

"He is my boyfriend." I said nonchalantly.

After I said that Gideon kiss the crown of my head.

"Bo-boyfriend? Are you fucking shitting me right now?"

What kind of reaction is this?

"Yes? Is there something wrong?"

"I can't believe this." She went to our kitchen and began to drag a chair and she sit in front of us.

"Ella do you have any idea who is sitting beside you?" She ask again.

"Of course I know. He is my boyfriend. Why are you still hangup that he is really my boyfriend."

"Because Ella he is THE James Rosen-Hower. He is practically a celebrity!"

"James who?" I look at Gideon and ask "Who's James? Your brother?"

He smiled and this time he kisses my cheeks.

"I am an only child love."

"James who?" I ask Scar again.

"That man that is sitting beside you. That is James!" She pointed at Gideon.

"You are James?!" I pointed accusingly to him.

He chuckled and say "so adorable love."

"Okay. So he is James apparently so what?"

Scar gasp "Are you really sure he is your boyfriend?" What the fudging fudge is wrong with Scarlet?!

She faced Gideon and said solemnly "I am sorry sir if my friend is roping you with her schemes. Please forgive her. I'll make sure she'll not do this again sir."

Schemes? Me? The fudge?

This is insulting. I mean I know the blaring difference between me and Gideon but coming from Scar? That hurt.

Before I reprimand her from her behaviour and tell her that she is being rude Gideon started to talk with his arctic voice.

"Miss Scarlet is it?" Scarlet nodded.

"I don't think you understood your place in this situation. I understood that you are her friend but now you are not acting like one. You keep insinuating that Ella is Lying about our relationship. You repeatedly accuse her of deceiving me into this relationship and she has no capable of attracting a man like me. A person like you is one of the reason why this society is getting worse. Your are caged by your ideals and doesn't accept oddity and change. If I were you start acting like a matured adult because you are hurting Ella more by your ignorant accusations."

Uhmm. Okay.

What can I say?

Go Gideon! Woohoo!🥳🥳

Scarlet was gaping at Gideon. She is looking at me as if asking me to defend her.

No dude. You all did that to yourself.

"Now if you are done staring we will take our leave." He stands up and at the same time he grabs my arm.

He walk towards the front door and stops momentarily at Scarlet who is still looking at the couch as if we are still there.

"Oh by the way Miss Scarlet. Tell your boyfriend to stop doing drugs during his tour because frankly I don't condone it and there are more great artist who much deserve his place." At that he turned around and went out of the door dragging me behind her.

"Gideon."

He's still walking.

"Gideon!"

Nope. Still ignoring me.

"GIDEON!" I forcefully release my arm to his grip.

"What love." He is exasperated. I can tell.

"Don't drag me! You know that I am vertically challenge! I can't keep up on your steps"

"I am sorry." He came near me and grab my wrist again but carefully this time.

"Did I hurt you?" He inspect my wrist and saw there is a little bit of redness.

"I am sorry love."

I nodded. Good.

As I was starting to walk again I suddenly felt weightless.

This man! He is fudging carrying me! On the stairs no less!

"Gideon! I told you not to drag me so your brilliant solution is to carry me?!"

"Yup."

This fudger!

"I am heavy! You'll break your back!"

I don't care if I disturb the other tenants because I am screaming but this is humiliating. To be carried around deprive in using my locomotive appendages.

"You're not that heavy love and I quite like this position. Don't you?"

What is the advantage of being carried bridal style? To demonstrate Gideon move his face closer to my face. I mean very very close. "I can easily kiss you whenever I want." He murmured.

In embarassment I hide my face to his chest. I heard him chuckled. This mustard!

We reach the 1st floor in no time. He is not winded at all. That's 3 flights of stairs!

He deposited me inside the car safely and then he entered. When we started to drive I shouted.

"WAIT! TURN AROUND!" The MIB turned around and look at me.

Why they are looking at me.

You did say turn around . So they turn around hence they are looking at you. Ella keep up!

"NO! not you! I mean turn the CAR around!"

I look at Gideon pleading him with my beautiful eyes. Okay that is going too far.

"What's the problem love?"

"I forgot something."

"What did you forgot? Is it very important?" He ask.

"Yes." I am teary eyed now.

"What is it? Don't cry please."

"You'll laugh"

He shakes his head in denial.

"Are you sure?"

He nodded. "Tell me."

"We forgot the PIZZA! SO turn around!" They started to look at me again. This fudgers "The CAR!"

I look at Gideon checking if he is laughing but he is not. When you look closely his eyes are saying he is amuse.

He saw my expression then suddenly he starts to laugh.

Hmmpf! I look at the window to avoid Gideon's gaze. This fudger.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

We arrive at Gideon's house and as usual his entourage welcomes us inside his home. Albert is still wearing his immaculate suit and it is already 9pm. Does this man even wear suit until he sleeps?

We pass his "living room" and we went straight to his "kitchen".

His chef is standing as if he is expecting us.

"Goodevening sir. Maam."

Gideon ignore his greeting but I wave at him. "Hi Mr. Chef!"

"Sit down love.". I sat down on his breakfast counter.

He was on the act of assisting me to sit on the chair but I already sat down.

He still check if I sat properly.

"I am not a child you know. I can sit by myself." I told him.

"Really? How old are you?"

I raise my hand and say. "Five."

"My big baby." Then he kisses my cheeks.

"You can take your leave Giacomo."

Mr. Chef was obviously surprise by Gideon's request but he did not say anything. He just bows and leaves the kitchen.

Gideon removes his suit jacket and raise his sleeves upto his elbows.

Sheezus christ! Mother mary!

I never thought a man can get more hotter!

I'll definitely encourage him to do that everyday.

He took out a white lump from one room. Which I learned a room fridge. I mean literally his fridge is a whole room.

"What are you making?" I ask.

"What do you think love?"

"You know that I have zero talent in the kitchen right? So can you please just tell me what are you making?"

He chuckled. "Pizza so what toppings do you want love?"

"PIZZA!" I cheered.

"Pepperoni, some veggies, can we put chicken bits?"

He nodded and proceeded to knead the dough.

I was mesmerized. His hand expertly knead the dough. What else can he knead?

I started to list some things mentally but my thought became R-rated so I stop.

I don't even know why am I thinking those kind of things.

Now back to Gideon.

He do those fancy maneuver that I see on pizza commercials.

Like I said befor he can do anything.

In no time he place the sauce the toppings that I requested and lots and lots of cheese.

I don't know how but a maid get the pizza that Gideon made and bring it to I don't know where.

My PIZZA!

"They'll just cook it in the brick oven outside love."

He has a freaking brick oven!

This house is incredible.

"Come on love. You should change your clothes and your bandage"

In excitement I jump from my chair expecting to land gracefully but it doesn't go as planned. I splat on the floor landing on my butt no less.

"Love!"

I turn to my side to rub on my ass. I think I broke my tailbone.

Ouchie.

"Don't move please. Can you feel your toes?"

I nodded.

"Your back?"

I nodded.

"Where does it hurt?"

My pride. Jam that chair. I am not that small. It felt like I fall off the stairs.

"I am okay. Just help me stand please."

He helps me stand and started to carry me again. I just let him. I am too tired to argue anymore.

We went to his room and he sat me down on his gigantic bed.

"Are you sure you don't want me to call the doctor?"

"Yes I am sure. "

He looks at me apprehensively. He doesn't believe me at all but he let it go.

He stands and went to another room and came back with silky pajamas mine is pink. Well even if it is not purple it is still acceptable.

I went to the bathroom to change. I ignore the look of Gideon. I spread out my outfit in the counter and discovered there is a mini package which contains a pair of underwear. I hope he did not open this package.

I finish freshening up and folded my clothes in the corner of the counter.

I'll pack that tomorrow morning for laundry.

I went out and saw Gideon already lying on the bed.

He is also wearing a silky pajamas.

"We match! Yey!" I run and jump on his bed I landed in the middle of the bed but rolled a few times thankfully Gideon grab my leg so I did not fall off the bed that would be embarassing.

I sit properly beside him and smiled sheepishly. Gideon looks frustrated. I wonder why.

"Love how many times did I remind you to be careful?"

"I am sorry okay?You know there are people that is clumsy and accident prone. Unfortunately I am one of them."

He sigh and said. "I don't want to resort to some extreme measures to keep you safe Love." He side hug me and kiss my forehead.

He reached out on the side table and produce a first aid kit.

I automatically gave my both hands to him.

He cleans and changes my bandages. There is still redness left. I hope it will heal soon.

"Come on. Your pizza is ready."

I am ready to jump from the bed but Gideon already anticipated my moves and he carries me AGAIN.

"I don't think this is necessary."

His deadpanned look says it all. So I just shut up.

"You'll not gonna do this everytime right?"

No answer.

"Right?"

Ignored.

I squirm in his hold to get his attention. I mean I TRIED to squirm but his hold is so firm I can't really move.

"Not YET love but don't tempt me."

"Fine."

We went to his gazebo with a fire pit.

His maid already laid out the food in front of us. The smell makes me salivate. This is the first time I'll try eating pizza so I might eat this all.

I look at Gideon silently asking if I can start eating and he just nodded.

I grab one slice and immediately bite on the slice.

I can't describe it in words. Too delicious.

I keep on eating my slice and then I did not notice I am reaching for another slice. I just savor every bite. I stop when I felt my stomach was bursting from food already.

"My gosh Gideon! I have a new favorite!"

I said to Gideon excitedly.

I did not notice that he is staring at me the whole time I was eating.

"I notice love." After he said that He look at the table were the pizza was suposed to be placed

It is all gone. All 8 slices.

"Wow we finish it all?!"

Gideon just smile at me.

"YOU finish it all love. Do you want another serving? A dessert perhaps?"

"I ate it all?!" He nodded. Then I look at Albert standing on the far side of the gazebo. He nodded also.

"Oh." And then I laugh. Is this stress eating? I don't know. How can I eat the whole pizza without giving Gideon even a slice?

"I can join those eating competition at this rate right?!"

Gideon smiled. "So awesome!"

"Let's go love. It is time for bed."

I know he will carry me so I stand and ignore the fact that he will be about to do just that.

"Let's go. I need to walk to burn those pizza that you made."

"Lead the way love."

We walk side by side. It is very quiet but a good silence. We reach the main house and went up the grand staircase.

I was suppose to turn left but Gideon veer me to the right. Whoops wrong direction.

We reach his room. I stop in front of it. Waiting for him to open the door.

He grab my hand and scan my thumb on the scanner. The room opened immediately.

"Ho-How?" He just shrug his shoulder.

Okaaaayyyy.

Once the door opened I run to the bed and jump.

"YEHEY!! SLEEPOVER!"

in the 20 plus years living in this world I finally experience to have a sleep over.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

She is currently a human burrito. MY Human burrito.

I will not question why she is willing to sleep with me in the same room. Some will request a separate room but not my Ella. No complains in my side!

According to her this is a "sleepover" but she doesn't know that this arrangement will be permanent soon.

Whenever I remember all the judgemental questions her roommate throws at Ella a few hours ago. I want to drive back to her flat and threaten her AGAIN. I mean I never back down on my words.

How dare her assume that I will not be attracted to Ella. Ella is a unicorn in these goddamn world. She is precious. She needs to be protected 24/7. Ella is too good for me. I AM the lucky one not the other way around.

I unwrapp my Human burrito and place her beside me. She is sleeping already. I know with all those pizza that she ate she will crash soon.

It felt good that she finish the whole pizza. Good for my ego also because I prepare that just for her. It is fascinating to see her eat with gusto, without a care in the world.

I don't even know why some women doesn't even eat a thing on dates just salad. Whoever sets that trend is an idiot.

I place Ella's head on my chest and arrange the comforter up to her neck. I switch off the light and was starting to get sleepy when Ella started to snore.

I quietly laugh. I kiss her forehead and let her snore lul me to sleep.

I can't breathe properly. Something is blocking my nose.

I move my hand to remove it but I remember that Ella is sleeping beside me last night and now she is laying on TOP of me. Her head is resting on the crook of my neck and the rest of her body is perfectly aligned on top of me.

Surprisingly it is very comfortable.

I need to get up now because we need to go to work.

"Love." I shook her shoulder.

She just snored back.

Don't laugh!

"Angel." I shook her again.

No reaction.

So I roll over and I am the one who is on top now.

What an amazing sight. Her hair is a birds nest. She has drool on the side of her lips and on top of that she is still snoring.

Gorgeous.

I kiss her forehead then her both cheeks, and lastly her nose. As much as I want to kiss her lips I stop myself because she needs to be awake for that. I want her permission first.

I repeatedly kiss her until she woke up.

Her hazel eyes greets me.

"Morning love."

"Morning"

"Come on love you need to get up now or we are going to be late."

"Hmmm" I got that as a confirmation.

I get up first and took a shower. I wear my navy blue suit.

I call the kitchen to alert them that they need to prepare our breakfast. I went back to the bathroom and set the shower for Ella.

I went back to the room and Ella is still sleeping.

I shake my head in amusement. I need to use my hidden weapon.

"Love. Come on. Giacomo prepared some chocolate pancakes for you."

"Chocolate?" Gotcha!
