Chapter 73 - Seventy - Three : Jerk Of A Boyfriend (1/2)
Maya's POV
It was really easy to go mental , cause I thought I've actually ran mad. I perfectly knew coffee wasn't chocolate and Niklaus didn't hit me as someone who enjoys sweetened stuffs but the amount of bitterness I tasted in that coffee would never be forgotten till the day I die.
It was so bitter to the point it stung my tongue and irritated the inside of my mouth.I coughed and retched until my voice went hoarse but I could still collect bitter saliva in my mouth.
Suddenly, I felt an arm snake around my waist and was turned towards a body. Nik lifted my chin and said to me ”Open up ” but I gave him a questioning look.
”Salt will cut the bitterness ” He said to me before I opened my mouth and he dropped a two-fingered pinch of salt into my mouth
Few minutes later, I found myself on the sofa in the living room sucking on a swirly rainbow lollipop like a five-year old while glaring daggers at Izzy who didn't look bothered by the way.
I pulled the lollipop out of my mouth and said to Izzy sternly ” I'm confiscating all your electronic gadgets for a week which means no making of calls, streaming video and playing games ”
I wasn't stupid , I knew someone had tampered with that coffee and the only person capable of pulling such a crude prank was the one and only Izzy.
She spat ” You have no right! ”
”Sorry to disappoint you but I was given the full right by your father and as your nanny to discipline you when in the wrong ” came my reply but she just rolled her eyes towards heaven , contemptuously.
”You wouldn't dare! ” She sassed back
” As a matter of fact, watch me ” I stood to my feet ” Now hand over the cellphone, young lady ” I demanded and stretched out my hand in anticipation.
”Make me ” She dared with a raised brow
”Works just fine for me cause I have this wonderful thought of inviting Annabelle over for dinner and there's this urge to have a very, very good chitchat with her and I'm sure she would love to hear of your latest rendezvous , wouldn't she? ” I threatened with a sweet smile on my face and we began a stare down until she gave in.
Izzy strode towards me and handed over the cellphone in quite a rude manner and turned to leave but I stopped her.
”Your tablet ” I said motioning to the sofa where she had hidden the device earlier when she thought I had not being looking. I had to give this girl some credit - she was incredibly smart.
Izzy must have known this would happen and had hidden it on time but her plan was busted, I caught her in the act without her knowledge - *KO
As childish as it might sound, but it was so refreshing and I'm so happy I have the upper hand this time ; I defeated Izzy in her own game!
After handing whatever device she had on her to me - both hidden and unhidden - Izzy gave me a death glare and strode to her room, banging the door so hard, the house shook.
I sat back down and turned to ask Niklaus with a concerned look ” Was I too harsh on her? ”
But Niklaus shook his head and gave me a thumbs-up sign saying ” No, you did right ” but he clasped his heart theatrically ”You were so cool that my heart began to beat too fast.Wow, I really thought I saw an amazon warrior ”
I scrunched up my nose and scowled at him
”What nonsense are you vomiting this time? ”
