Miss Delivery Girl

34 / / ❝don't tell me we only came here to fight.❞

Leila | Trevor | Sebastian

  

❝No, Leila, you can't. You're fucking sick, Sebastian!❞

  

❝Leila is mine, or the deal is off.❞

      

[ Trevor then grabs Leila's hands before dragging her out from the café, leaving Sebastian standing there, his arms folded, with a sly grin. ]

      

[ Once they're outside, Trevor clamps both his hands on her upper arms, shaking her body like she's a milkshake — MY MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD — okay, sorry. Got triggered again. ]

      

❝Leila, please! There has to be another way.❞

      

❝No, this is the only chance that you'll get to survive. I don't want you to—❞ [ By this time, Leila begins to cry. ]

 

❝I DON'T CARE! YOU ARE MINE, LEILA! WE BELONG TOGETHER.❞

      

❝TREVOR, WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS! ONLY SEBASTIAN AND YOUR FATHER CAN HELP!❞

      

❝I would rather die than to see that fuckboy screwing with you and your life.❞

      

[Leila suddenly lands a slap on Trevor's face. Both Trevor and Sebastian — the latter watching the scene from inside of the café — drop their jaws. More tears stream down her face as Sebastian hands his brother a victorious smirk. ]

      

❝Don't you dare say that; you will not die.❞

      

❝BUT IF YOU AGREE, YOU WILL DIE IN HIS HANDS!❞

❝BOTH MY PARENTS DIED IN FRONT OF MY EYES, I GOT ABUSED IN THE ORPHANAGE BY OTHER KIDS, NOW YOU!❞

  

❝ . . . ❞

  

❝I thought I would never love you but you rolled out the red carpet, entered my life, and charmed me with your kinky wit and Prince Charming-esque qualities. I really love you, Trevor.❞

  

❝ . . . ❞

  

❝And I don't wanna lose you like so many others that left me.❞

  

❝And I don't wanna lose you too. There is definitely something—❞

  

❝But what other choice do we have?❞

  

❝ . . . ❞

  

❝Your solution is just good as mine: non-existent.❞

  

❝I am not going to give up on myself. On us.❞

  

❝I'm sorry, Trevor.❞

  

[ Leila runs back into the café, followed by Trevor. ]

  

❝Leila, don't!❞

  

❝Sebastian . . . ❞

  

❝Miss Cinder-leila has finally reached an agreement?❞

  

❝Yes, the deal is on.❞

  

[ Both Trevor and Leila mourn in defeat, an upshot of a dilemma at the crossroads. Sebastian, on the other hand, raises his chin in arrogance as he claims his prize. ]

  

❝Good to know then. Give me one week to take care of the money. After that, Leila will be mine.❞

  

❝Forever?❞

  

❝Forever.❞

  

[ Quietude fills the atmosphere and the characters pause to rethink their entire existence — well, at least Trevor and Leila did. ]

  

❝So, are we staying for dinner?❞

  

❝I guess . . . ❞

  

❝Don't tell me we only came here to fight . . . This ain't Hate Line, guys.❞

  

[ God, everyone in this book just can't stop breaking the fourth wall. ]

  

[ What do you think about the chapter? Dramatic, eh? Don't worry, look forward for some more humor and fun in the next chapters and also . . . make-you-shook events. ]
