Mara’s pov
When the waiter served the food for both the lady and myself. I stared at the good and then at the akdy wondering whether it would be proper for me to eat or not.
I looked at Keren who sat far behind the lady as she was also munching on her food but the look she gave me was a “don’t stare at me” look.
You are going to ruin the plan” yes she didn’t say anything with her lips though but her eyes were more than enough warning for me.
I brought out my phone and sent her a text.
“Can I eat this food?” I waited for her reply.
“Why not?” She instantly replied.
“What if she is trying to kill me? I am too young to die from food poisoning” I sent the last one with a crying emoji and she sent a laughing emoji.
“You can also feed her some, just to be sure” she finally replied and put my phone back in my pocket before I scooped some of the spoon with a smile on my face as I fed the pretty lady.
I cannot believe I am being paid so much just to feed someone this beautiful, I could do it forever.
After we were done with our food, she carried the back pack and took it with her. Once we were comfortably seated in her car, she locked the door and was about to drive off.
“Blood of Jesus! This wasn’t part of my agreement” I shouted inside the car, good thing the glasses were up so no one outside the car could hear us.
“Calm down okay. Keren has told me a lot about you, you need not to be afraid because I am not kidnapping you.
I want this lunch to be as realistic as possible so buckle up” the lady was calm as she also tried to calm me down, when I had begun to over react.
“Okay Mara.. breathe in.. and breathe out.. she isn’t going to k*LL you.. uuuhh” I kept on putting all my five fingers together as I continued my breathing exercises so loudly that the lady burst into a long laughter but I wasn’t in the mood to ask her why she was laughing.
“If you are done, your highness. Can I go now?” She sounded so sarcastic, damn! Even her sarcasm was good.
“Okay let’s go now” she shook her head as we drove out of the restaurant. We were at a great distance from the restaurant when she stopped the car and I could spot Keren’s car approaching us.
Keren stepped out of the car and the lady did the same, I waited for them in the car to have their conversation which I couldn’t hear.
I got tired of waiting so I also came out of the car only to overhear the lady telling Keren.
“She was even more than you said, I have to go now” she ended the conversation and drove off.
“Let’s go as well,” Keren urged me to get into her car. I couldn’t get my thoughts to settle at a particular place.
I kept on thinking about why Keren had to go through so much trouble just to deliver perfumes and why she avoided the police. I only lied to him because if he had recognized me then I would surely have found myself in a big mess.
“You think a lot for a teenager you know” Keren spoke, bringing me out of my numerous thoughts and back to reality. That was when I noticed that we were stuck in another traffic.
“Hmmn” was the only thing I could get myself to respond to.
“What are you thinking about this time? And I want the truth not the silly lie you told me the last time” her eyes were still on the road with one of her hands on the driving wheel while she used the other hand to shove some strands of her hair covering her face aside.
“You have beautiful hair” I suddenly blurted out of nowhere.
“Thank you. It takes a lot of products to keep it healthy. I will give you some to try them out later but for now you cannot escape my question”.
Keren turned off the car as she let her chin rest on her palm while her hand rested on the car door with all her focus directed towards me.
“Earlier on you said I should only ask you necessary questions and I should avoid asking too many questions so there is no need for you to know what I am thinking about and besides they are my personal thoughts and I would really like to keep then private” I looked out the window hoping that the topic will be brought to an end.
“Personal thoughts huh? And what if you are trying to kill me an that’s what you are thinking about?” Keren held my face and made me look at her while she raised her head up.
“And why would I do that?” I shook my head as she let go of my face.
” I don’t know,” Keren shrugged.
“Do you think of me as a bad person?” Keren asked me with so much concern.
“I can’t judge you when I don’t know you” I rested my hand on the car door as well.
“I want you to judge based on the little you know. Tell me, I’m I a bad person?” Keren was so eager to get a response from me.
“I don’t know, I really don’t see you that way though but you are a very reserved person who I feel keeps a lot of secrets. And most times your attitude seems to be very suspicious” I calmly told her.
She gave a faint smile which slowly turned to a smirk.
“You are always so calm as well,” I added.
“Then it’s a very good thing you work for me now, it will give you lots of chances to get to know me better” Keren smiled, there was something about the way she smiled that scared me although her smile was so beautiful.
“We’ll see” I shrugged and looked at the window, getting myself lost in my thoughts once again before she drove off.
