It almost sound like a threat but Alita laughed it out, not just because she want to ignore it, but because of Rocco’s fingers tickling her. She couldn’t help smiling and cracking up like a cute child that has no problem at all in this world.
“S-t-o-p!” She managed to say in midst of laughter.
But Rocco wouldn’t listen, he was enjoying the way she felt happy and laughing so sweetly for the first time in a while. He knew he couldn’t get to see her like that all the time so he had cracked her walls open today.
“Beg me” he ordered but she kept giggling “beg me I say!” He repeated.
Alita cracked more, she managed to get hold of one of his palms in both hands “Please” she giggled “I need to take a pee”
As soon as Rocco released Alita, she jumped on top of the bed and began to bounce. She quickly grabbed a pillow and hit Rocco’s head with it, she didn’t let him recover from his shock before she hit him harder.
“Hey!” Rocco cried.
“Pillow fight!” Anita giggles “Grab a pillow for I am about to hit you down!” She squeaked.
Rocco chuckled as he grabbed the second pillow “You wish!” Was his only word as he hit Alita with the pillow.
She lose stamina and almost fell off the bed, if not that her Knight full of muscles decided to catch her, she did be telling another story of her butt and back.
“I play this a lot with Gio” She breathed heavily.
“Bad news!” Rocco took her in his arms and placed her on his lap “He is going to school tomorrow”
Alita gasped, she doesn’t know if she should be angry or happy or show gratitude. She just felt sad, having a hurt feeling that she should have been told before being enrolled.
“Is that why he longer cares to see me?” She asked hurt.
“Believe me babe” Rocco touch her lips “He wants to see you every day but Lu had to be more strict to make you ready for your next task”
Alita went icy, she stared down at his face not knowing what to say, do or think. She tried to move out but Rocco held her tight.
“Relax,” he said “It’s not hell”
“Going to dangerous party as collateral damage and forced to drink to stupor, not hell?!” She yelled, her eyes widening like they would fall out.
“It’s just once” Rocco kissed her jaw “And besides you are not collateral damage, stop calling yourself that” he paused for a while, his gaze loved with Alita and his mood shift.
“Are you feeling bad for me?” Alita touched his face.
Deep down Rocco knows there is nothing he could do other than watch Alita gets ill-treated in Lu’s hands. Each time he gets to remember what a pet does, he wonders what bad she or her family must have committed to getting such hatred.
His actions show how much he hates her and is ready to do anything that would hurt her or kill her joy. Although the Lu he had always known never take his fellow human as anything especially Girls and snitch.
“Is my fate too harsh?” Alita whispered, “Is Lu planning to give me to Ze-”
Rocco matched his lips on Alita’s, Kissing her like it would be the last. Even when he knew he might hardly get to be with her for long again, he intend to make the last a memorable one. His fingers fasten into her hair as he pulled her closer.
Rocco groaned.
Alita squeezed herself into him as she kissed him back. Although she had no idea of what she was doing she really need what was been given to her.
She let Rocco dominate, as she had never been a good kisser, she let him take the lead, kissing back as she would never see him again.
Her hands went to his shoulders holding him like an anchor. A silent moan escaped her hips as Rocco’s hands went down her back, moving her in a slow rhythm as she grind against him.
“Rocco!” Lu’s thunderous voice interrupted them.
Alita gasped, she jumped off Rocco as she ran her hand over her hair, dress, and face. She couldn’t get to meet Lu’s angry gaze so her eyes zeroed on her toes noticing her ruined manicure in a while.
Lu groaned, he watched from Alita’s head to her swollen lips then her rough hair. Anger boiled inside of him as he did the unexpected, he clenched his fist and sent it to Rocco’s face.
There was no emotion in Rocco’s eyes, not hate or anger, it was like he had expected it and won’t do anything. He caress his face for a while and clenched his fist, he felt Alita rush to his side and grab his hand.
“Lu!” Rocco managed to say “You came!” Although he could see how Lu was trying to contain his anger and that made him slightly happy.
He cleared his throat loudly as he stared deeply into Lu’s eyes. Their gaze latched, nothing was said, no noise, just hot energy of hate and anger.
“Did I stop something?” Lu asked staring at Alita who got behind Rocco and held behind his arm “Rocco?” It sounds more like an order or questions.
“She needed someone” Rocco simply replied.
Lu smirked, he placed his right hand on his waist and raised the left one to his head, ruining his perfectly styled hair with his angry fingers. His gaze home on Alita’s still swollen lips and he scoffed.
“She needed someone to make out with her,” he said sarcastically “I should have assumed that girls do need people to kiss their lips swollen by the second hand of their master” he glazed at Rocco who lowered his head.
“Sorry sir,” Rocco said.
Lu’s face remain clueless, his gaze homed on Alita’s tiny hands around Rocco’s large arm and he scoffed. His eyes rolled dramatically and he looked up at Rocco, without saying a word, Rocco nodded and made to go but Alita held him tighter.
“Rocco!?” Lu mumbled through clenched teeth “OUT! NOW!!”
“I’m going with him” Alita rushed to his front, she spread her hands wide as if she could really stop him from picking her up and moving her to the other side “I mean it”
Rocco went icy, he knew Lu might get pissed and do something stupid by locking her in the dungeon or back in her cold room and he doesn’t want anything like that. Effortlessly, he picked Alita up and moved her out of the way, he could see the angry look in her eyes but for her sake, he had to go.
“I’m sorry” he mumbled again as he got near Lu, he made sure to let the door close quietly as he walked out.
“What do you want?” Alita snorted, both hands on her waist as she angrily push back her hair off her face.
“I want you to stop letting people kiss you” Lu replied as he walked past her to sit on her bed “It’s so disgusting” he added.
Alita remain silent, she then place her arms folded under her breast as she glared at him. She watched as he picked up her phone and went through her gallery. A picture of her and Gio red in laughter, playing in the snow appeared on the screen and Lu smiled.
“You never get to grow old” He mumbled.
He scroll down and more funny pictures show, he noticed one where she wore a pink bikini at the beach with Ricardo kissing, and he scoffed. He zoomed the pictures to her face and showed them to her.
“I see you have a thing for kissing” he teased.
He turned the phone back to his face and continued searching, before he could click on the next picture that caught his interest, Alita yanked the phone off his grip.
“Give it back,” he said calmly.
“No!” Alita yelled, she moved to the door and tried to open it but it wouldn’t “I want out!”
Lu grinned, he lay down on the bed with his hands under his head and yawned lazily. He pretends to sleep with a smile on his face enjoying how red he is making Alita look, he did intend to piss her till she loses it and acts like a good girl but expectations change when he felt water splash in his face.
“Let me out you fucking loser,” she said.
Lu went stiff, his expression showing nothing but his wet red face and his teeth gnashing. He stood up, walked past her, and opened the door wide.
“Take each second turns by your left,” He said walking back to the bed.
Relief spread through Alita as her face brightened, she couldn’t believe she had pissed Lu enough to give up on her. Happily, she walked to the door, hoping to give it a very loud slam before something came to her mind.
“I am talking Gio too” She uttered.
“No” Was Lu’s simple reply.
“Just in case you don’t understand all English, I said Devo andare con GIO!” She yelled but Lu didn’t move, he just stretched and turned his back at her “I am calling 911” she threatened.
“Go ahead,” Lu said “You have twenty seconds to leave his floor or I change my mind”
