She is not your woman

-chapter seven-

Fyn Slysonic (Sly for short) swimmed at the swimming pool at a late hour to get rid of his frustration and caught a cold.

The next day, as Stella drove to his house to pick him up, she got a call from him telling her he wouldn't be going to the office today. His voice sounds different and she knew he caught a cold. she wanted to revise back but decided against it. 'If he is the FS that I know, he wouldn't go to the hospital neither take medicine. Still as stubborn as ever' she thought.

Fyn Sly just came out of the bathroom when he heard a knock. Without asking or checking who it was he opened the door.

He was surprised to see Stella standing with lunch boxes on her hands.

"Heh hi, I noticed your voice sounded different and I thought you were not feeling well so I packed some food for you." Stella said as she bends her head down with her face a little red. He was half naked having only a towel around his waist.

"Oh please come in. Please sit and give me few minutes to get dressed." then he rushed into his room. He entered his room and put his back on the door, his heart was beating fast as blush creeped on his cheeks. He noticed how she looked at his body, and that was more than a good sign for him.

'If that's what it takes for her to open up to me then I'll do it.'

Fyn Sly never cared about his appearance but because It was Stella he spent more than ten minutes checking himself out.

As Stella was waiting for him she heard a knock, she opened it and saw a man outside.

"Hi" Fyn Scott greeted.

"Hello" she replied.

"Is my brother in?"

"Your brother?"

"Oh sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Fyn Scott I'm Sly's younger brother" he introduced himself.

"Well My name is Stella Lockwood and I'm his secretary. And yes he is in"

Fyn Scott raised his eyebrows, 'secretary, I remembered applying for that position and he declined saying he doesn't need a secretary, so why now?, something smells fishing.'

Fyn Sly walked out and saw his brother talking with Stella, he wasn't happy.

"Scott what are you doing here?"

Scott was speechless, he remembered someone disturbing his sweet sleep and telling him to come as soon as possible if he still wants to keep his life.

Noticing how he dressed he looked at his 'secretary', 'so this what's going on, you even dare to deny me, hehehehe it's pay back time' and evil thought suddenly entered his head.

Without answering his elder brother, he turned to Stella and noticed the lunch boxes besides her. "sister Stella I'm hungry, are these food boxes?" he asked.

Fyn Sly expression darkened, those boxes were meant for him and him alone. He wanted to reply when Stella interrupted.

"Yes, and it's more than enough for all of us." She then arranged the food on the dining table.

Fyn Sly stared at Scott with a dark expression as if telling him to get going, but the reply he got was him staring back at him with an expression which says 'I'm not going, what can you do about it'.

If looks could kill, Fyn Scott would have been dead a thousand times. Stella called and they went to the dining table.

Fyn Scott put food on his plate, before he eat his phone vibrated. He looks at it and saw it was a message from his elder brother. 'If you still like this life of yours don't even think of eating that food. This is your last chance, Make an excuse and leave' Scott read and laughed inwardly. He looked at his brother and saw him staring at him. He ignored his brother and starts eating.

After eating, ignoring his brother's extremely dark expression, he turned to Stella. "Sister Stella this food was very delicious, I wish I could eat it everyday. Why don't we exchange contact so I can contact you and visit you during weekends." Scott said excitedly.

Stella smiled, she remembered this boy when he was five just two years younger than them. He was very adorable at that time, she couldn't believe at the age of twenty-three he was still very adorable.

When Fyn Sly saw the look on her face his face darkened even more. 'Is this stupid brother of mine flirting with My woman in my presence?.'

Scott seems to know what he was thinking and gave him a look which says 'She is not your woman'.

Fyn Sly saw he wasn't bulging, he decided what to do as he picked his phone and dialed a contact.

"What?" a sleepy voice was heard.

"Come to my house now, Scott is...."

"Yeah I Know" he interrupted angrily and disconnected the call.

Fyn Sly knew even though he sounded angry he wasn't angry because it concerned Scott.
