Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

” He is already inside! ”

I bluntly said, taking the pot off the stove.

” Already inside huh? ”

My words seemed to stimulate him. He looked at me with playfulness in his eyes. As if encouraging me to tease him.

I couldn’t help but giggle as I saw Ryan go and sit on the couch after that. Then he began looking at me with a mixture of curiosity and mischief. I decided to have a little fun with him, so I walked up to him and leaned in close, making sure he could smell my perfume, pretending to fetch an ingredient that I didn’t even need in my cooking.

“What’s up, Ryan?” I asked, batting my eyelashes. “You seem a little tense.”

Ryan rolled his eyes. “Don’t start with me, Sherry. I know you’re up to something.”

I grinned. “Me? Up to something? Whatever do you mean?” I twirled a strand of my hair around my finger and leaned in even closer. “Let’s just say I have a little something planned for tonight and I am so excited. ”

Ryan raised an eyebrow. “A little something with who? Did all the blood and gore make you horny? I didn’t know you had such a turn on? ”

The way he smacked his lips, made me drool. I wanted to jump onto him but I controlled.

” I would have made special arrangements to give you all that thrill, had you just dropped a hint earlier that night! ” He winked.

I pretended to look coy. “Oh, don’t worry about all that now. I found someone special. Someone who knows how to treat a lady right and gives me a lot of joy. ”

Ryan looked at me skeptically. “You’re not making any sense, Sherry. Who could you possibly be going on a date with inside my house?”

I took a step back and looked at Ryan with a mischievous glint in my eye. “Fine, I’ll tell you. I have a date with someone who lives in this very house and is also close to you.”

Ryan’s eyes widened. “What? Who?”

I didn’t know if he was really getting paranoid or he was still playing along?

I leaned in again, my lips almost touching Ryan’s ear. “Bellow,” I whispered.

Ryan looked at me in confusion. “Below? Or Below? You’re going on a date with a little boy?”

I laughed. “Yeah, silly! I decided he needs some cheering up. I’m going to make him dinner and watch a movie with him tonight. So you see, I do have a date, just not the kind you were thinking of.”

Ryan shook his head, but I could tell he was trying not to smile. ” And what kind was I thinking exactly according to you? ”

I kissed him on the cheek and walked away.

I finally had to clear the mystery around my secret date so Ryan would return to normal. Only then could I ask him about the latest development on the ones that broke into his house and the bulldozer guy who was murdered.

I always loved leading a simple life. I never understood why people had to resort to violence and everything, just to earn a few more dollars. Specifically those who already had everything, unlike paupers like myself.

” So what’s the update with those people you went after? ”

I asked, cleaning the kitchen after myself.

” Hhhmmmm! We have some leads. But we need some more information. ”

He stood up suddenly,NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

” So Sherry, enjoy yourself. I will be heading out again. It’s nice watching you take care of Bellow. I really appreciate that. ”

He said and turned towards the door as my heart sank, hearing him say goodbye.

” Ryan, wait! ”

My tongue automatically shot the words out and I had no control over myself.

” Yes, tell me! ” Ryan turned back.

” Ummm, well, I just noticed that Bellow didn’t have his tongue. And you might have noticed it earlier as well that he has a scar from where it was apparently cut off. Ummm, do you know anything about his history? Do you know who did that to him? ”

I asked as anger splashed on my eyes and I think Ryan didn’t miss it. He came a bit closer.

He looked into my eyes for a moment for two.

” And why do you ask Sherry? ”

That was his counter question.

” Why? Just because… Just because I am angry and mad and losing my mind, thinking what beast could do something so terrible to a little child? What human? ”

It seemed like I probably had said something very wrong.

Ryan looked very disturbed after I uttered those words.

He turned and left without even answering me or excusing himself.

I saw him from the glass windows in the kitchen that he went straight towards his car. He hit the engines on and revved out of there like a bullet. Even the guards at the gate jumped back at his speed. It looked like he was driving in anger and frustration.

I stood there for sometime, watching the dust trail that he left behind settle.

Then I turned around and took the food inside and called Bellow.

” Could you please help me set up the projector? ”

I asked.

He happily helped me not knowing that the surprise was all for himself.

Then I brought the food in.

” Bellow, let’s watch a lovely movie and enjoy this meal that I made. I promise it will be fun. ”

He looked hesitant at the beginning. But then gave in when I said that it was Ryan’s order.

The room was darkened . I lit the candle lights. The projector was set up as well and then I decorated the table a little.

I saw Bellow run out suddenly, towards his room.

Then he came back after a while.

I had never seen him so well dressed.

It seemed like he had taken a shower and changed clothes.

He had even combed his hair.

Boy! It seemed like my date had come in all his handsomeness.
