Chapter 35


Running my fingers through my hair, I yawn softly as I head into the kitchen to grab the takeout menus from the drawer. My eyes running over each of the menus I have to try and figure out what kind of food that I really want. Trying to think about what find of food I fancy for the evening. Whether I want some Chinese food, sushi, pizza, fried chicken (we've had enough of that as it is) or if I want burgers, some Mexican food or some curry. My stomach whining to itself as I file through the menus and lick my lips in anticipation.

Work had been quite the long haul today, if I'm being totally honest. Keigo had to go out on an emergency call so he couldn't turn up to work (which I wasn't complaining about because it's his job, after all) but that meant that I ended up being needed by the other departments. I ended up doing five models that day, making sure that their makeup was done perfectly and that I complimented everything about them.

And one of them was quite the bitch...

Despite my will to compromise about things, this girl was adamant that I wasn't going to do her makeup. Apparently her usual girl does it ten times better and I shouldn't even be in her presence. So, I left the room and decided to go onto my lunch break early (I'm not putting up with that) and let the model stress over who's doing her make up. It's not my problem. It's her fault if she doesn't want Hawks' personal makeup artist to do her makeup. Not mine.

Thankfully, I could go home early (since Keigo's emergency call would last a good few hours) and just relax. I had a nice relaxing bath with a glass of wine and a book. Then I watched a couple of movies with Angel curled up in my lap (I can't watch any series unless Keigo's with me). Just have some me time...

Well, with the accompaniment of dimmed windows, blinds that leave no room for people to look in, locked windows and doors and a couple cameras dotted around my house to make sure that it can catch whoever it is that's trying to threaten Keigo.

Or at least try to...

Ever since he received those messages, Keigo has been on edge. He has refused to leave me alone if he can help it. When Keigo can't be with me, Rumi or Yu will take his place. Sometimes, I can be on my own (which is a godsend) but that's only if I'm at home and the blinds are closed and everything is locked. If anything, I'm probably taking this better than Keigo (and it's me that they're threatening!).

However, I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable at the fact that someone is stalking me...

For ages, I've been trying to rack my brain and figure out who it could be. Could it be the League of Villains? Someone trying to threaten Keigo with me for information? Someone that actually wants to kill me (although I can't think of anyone that would be so cruel as to do that)? If it could be someone hired? If someone is just doing it for the hell of it... someone that wants to have a laugh (in a rather sadistic and disturbing manner) and create havoc.

It's just mind boggling...

The sound of the front door opening rips me from my thoughts, my head peeking up to see who it is before relaxing at the sight of red feathers flying through the house (something that Keigo has a habit of doing to find out where I am). Shutting the menu drawer, I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear and head toward the doorway of the kitchen and lean against it to watch Keigo slip off his shoes with a small hum. The male still clad in his hero outfit...

He's home.

Relaxing slightly, knowing that I'm safe if he's home, I walk toward him and wrap my arms around his neck to greet him. As if communicating silently, Keigo wraps his arms around my waist and nuzzles his face into my shoulder with a deep breath. The male cold from the outside world. His cheek like ice as he presses himself into my warmth with a soft, relaxed and content hum. A smile imprinting onto my neck as he snuggles and kisses my skin softly with a hum.

"Tough day?" I ask softly, rubbing circles on the back of his shoulders as he wraps his wings around he and nods against my skin, "How does takeout sound? We can watch that new series on Netflix if you want?"

"Just wanna cuddle," he mumbles into my ear, kissing the shell of it with a soft smile before clearing his throat, pulling away and looking up into my eyes, "I'm sorry I had to bail on the modelling today, baby bird,"

"You had something more important to do, Kei, I'm not mad," I explain gently, giggling as he rubs his stubbly chin against my cheek and peppers my face with kisses. His lips freezing cold, "I got to finish early anyway, so Angel and I have been cuddling,"

"What? Without me?" He asks, gasping playfully as I stick my tongue out and head into the living room with the takeout menus. The male follows close behind and pulls me into him as we crash land onto the couch, "The treachery! Having cuddles without me is low, even for you,"

Rolling my eyes with a giggle, I stick my tongue out at him and snuggle into his chest as he wraps his arms around me and nestles his face into the crook of my neck while I look over the takeout menus with a small hum. The male perking up when I pull out the Chinese food takeout menu with a kick of his lips.

"You want Chinese food?" I ask, showing him the menu with a smile before laughing as he takes the menu and rifles through it before pointing to what he wants, "Anything else your fat ass wants?"

"Well, if we're talking about dessert," he coos, smirking toward me as I head toward the home phone to call the takeout place with a small hum, "I was thinking me, you, your bed in your room with the clothes all over the floor and our —"

"Finish that sentence and I will shove my boot up your ass so far you'll be able to taste leather," I threaten, pointing toward him as he bursts out with laughter when I throw a pillow at him and call the takeout place to place an order for us, "Hi, yeah! Can I place an order please?"

"Hi, yeah! Can I place an order please?~" Keigo imitates, his voice going a little higher making me roll my eyes and give him the middle finger as I place our order. The winged male snorting as I throw another pillow at him to keep him quiet, "Yes! Can I have, um, some sweet and sour chicken... yes! And uh... some... uh... chicken balls and spring ro — Ah! Ow! Baby! That hurt meee!"

"Good," I hiss, hanging up on the phone after placing my order and the delivery and jumping onto him and sitting on his waist while he laughs, "I do not sound like that!"

"Oh I'm sorry, I must be mistaken for when you're under me and I'm ea —" He begins before laughing as I cover his mouth before he can finish his sentence, "What? Am I wrong? You go 'Mmm~ Kei! Ooh! Ahh!'"

"Wha — I do not!" I protest, hitting his arm as he chuckles evilly and grins playfully while I shake my head and flick his forehead, "What about you? Hm? You sound constipated whenever you're turned on!"

"Wha — I don't! I sound so much better than you do, baby!" Keigo argues, hitting my thigh as I stick my tongue out at him and moan in the lowest pitch I can to imitate him making him laugh, "You're such a weirdo,"

"Says the one who gets jolly when I brush his feathers, at least I have some self control," I retort, squealing with laughter as he gawks at me with wide eyes, "I love you~ I dooooo~"

"I love you too," he coos, kissing me gently and a hum and laughing as I squeak when he slaps my ass when I bend down to kiss him, "You're adorable, you know that?"

"You're adorable when you're not being a complete dick," I hum playfully, kissing his nose gently before sliding off his waist and heading to the kitchen to grab ourselves a couple of drinks, "What do you wanna drink, Kei?"

"Beer if you have any," he calls out, squealing like a schoolgirl when Angel trots in and he becomes a completely different person, "Hello my little angel! Is my angel cakes wanting some cuddles? Yes she is! Yes she is! Aren't you so beautiful? Yes you are!"

Biting back a laugh, I grab a pint glass from the cupboard and fill it with some beer while I grab myself a can of soda with a small hum. A smile on my lips as I walk back into the living room to find Keigo playing tug of war with Angel who's growling playfully and pulling at the rope that Keigo's pulling at with a smirk. After placing down the glasses, I slide next to my boyfriend and kiss his cheek and watch them play with one another.

The sound of the doorbell ringing cuts Angel's attention away from the toy and begins barking at the door making me sigh while Keigo heads toward the door before I can do anything. He grabs his wallet and opens up the front door while I keep Angel and I out of view so he can get our food and pay for it. Knowing that Keigo would crucify me if I answered when he was around.

After sorting out everything, Keigo walks into my room with a bag full of the food making my eyes sparkle while I grab some plates and cutlery for us to dig into our food. Smiling to each other, we open up the tubs full of the scrumptious food and begin to dig into everything. The pair of us snuggling into one another as we chow down on our meal while watching the tv.

"Good call?"...

"Oh definitely, but can I have dessert later?"...

"If you behave,"...
