Be Your Own Spring novel Chapter 76

"No, of course not! He's a lovely boy. Would you mind if he stays here for a few minutes more?"

I rolled my eyes at her. Why is she so hell bent on making him stay?

"Uh.. Sure if that's not problem, It'll help me with my work too." The waitress says smiling.

"No problem....Right?" She asked Rowan and he smiled at her nodding his head.

"Okay, thank you very much, and Rowan, behave!" She warned him.

"Mama, I always do." He pouted, making Rozella giggle like a middle schooler.

We are saying bye to the little piece of shit after spending time with him for two hours.

Two-fucking-hours.

With that Satan's pawn.

"Bye Rosie, Bye.... Kwezr." He said looking at me up and down.

"Little shit." I glared at him. Rozella nudged me with her elbow but I just rolled my eyes at her.

"Bye cutie." Rozella waved and we left the diner.

We're walking on the street, going back to my penthouse.

I called my driver, but Rozella said she wanted to walk with me on this cold night, and something about it being romantic.

I heard her sigh deeply.

I looked at her and saw her clung to my arm, sniffing my jacket.

I turned towards her, catching her in the act, but she seemed unaffected.

"Brand?" She said breathlessly, making me chuckle on the lonely street.

I shook my head and smirked.

"You're never going to tell me... Are you?"

"Never." I said and booped her nose.

"Why?" She asked pouting.

I love her pout, it makes her look all cute and chubby and all mine.

"Why?" I sighed, "Because...."

She looked at me attentively wanting to know my answer.

"Because?.... " She asked motioning her hands for me to say the continue.

I looked at her and smiled sheepishly, "Because.... I feel like it."

She slapped my chest and took her hand out of my grasp.

She begin walking- more like skipping steps.

"Where are you going?" I asked, laughing.

"Away from you!" She huffed while turning around.

"You know there are dogs and thiefs here? Right?" I said smirking.

She stopped and I went towards her.

"Take me back to the penthouse." She said without looking at me.

"What if I don't want to?" I leaned in closer towards her.

"Nope, no. No kiss after what you did." She said placing her fingers on my lips.

I shrugged and sighed and started walking away.

I looked behind me to see her still standing there with her eyes widened.

I chuckled knowing what she is gonna say.

"You-you just gave up a chance to kiss me over some cheap butt perfume?"
