Chapter 16. Liliana and Lilith

• • Mark and Lynne's POV • •

We were so closed and I couldn't resist anymore "My bad" I took a step away from her "Mark Jones," I offered my hand. "Lynne… Lynne Smith" she placed her hand in my palms. Her fingers were small and soft.

"Fuck, what a waste, this sexy guy is gay… Urrr…" I cried deep down. I wasn't dreaming of having any affairs with him but DAMN!.

"Nice to meet you, Mark, and thank you for everything," I word honestly escaped my mind. "You are welcome" he retorted. "Damn, I'm hungry" words honestly escape my mind again and it was so embarrassinging.

"Bertha," he immediately called, I was about saving that it was a mistake but Bertha instantly showed up "Take care of this lady. Give her everything she needs" he said then he turned to me "I have to leave" he moved upstairs.

"Madam" Bertha faced me with a huge smile on her face "How can I help you?" she asked. "Food!" I smiled. I was damn hungry, I could finish an entire cow alone. "Follow me" she took me to the kitchen.

After, eating "Please, take to the room in which I was," I told her. "Ma'am you will spend the night in another room, that room has to be cleaned" she said.

"Can you take me there?. Please, I will like to clean it myself" I begged. "You don't have to, people are been paid for that" she said with a smile. "I insist. It's my blood" I sulked.

"Humm… Okay. Follow me" she moved ahead and I followed her. She opened the door "Here, is the room in which you will spend the night" she said. The room was very clean.

"Bertha…" I glared at her. "And just by it" we moved to the next room "Is the room in which you were previously. I hope you won't get confused" she opened.

"Thank you very much" I hugged her. She remained stagnant, she was stunned or perhaps irritated. "If you need something let me know" she said. "I need…" I listed a few things. Without wasting time, she came with all the necessary.

It might sound weird, but I wasn't comfortable having my blood-stained the bed. It felt like my menses. With Bertha's help, I cleaned everything. I was sore when I went to bed but satisfied. My heart was at peace.

As usual, I was very Matinal. It was barely seven o'clock when I was already set in the living room for breakfast. The young lady Lynne was still asleep. It's normal she had a long night.

Last night I overheard her and Bertha. They ended late around 1 am. I slept later after 3 am because I had a lot of accumulated work from the office. Anyway, that was the list of my worries.

I felt at peace having Lynne home, I knew she was safer with me. It was hard to infer where that strong urge to save her was coming from. It was like something exhorted my soul of to help her.

Anyway, I guessed it were my hormones in action. She was beautiful, you and naive and this hit my curiosity.

Nonetheless, I wasn't foolish enough to do something that could jeopardise our ordinary relationship. Any libidinal adventure wasn't an option with her. I set boundaries in my mind.

Just when I thought I had dealt with all the hardships for the day, she barged into the dining room with her annoying face "Dad wants to see you" Liliana exclaimed as she walked in. "Why ain't you picking your phone calls?" Lilith followed and both were scolding me.

To think I planned to have some peace this morning. That is; seat home, eat, contemplate Lynne's naive face and have some good drinks. Boom! Those two ladies stood right in front of me "Noted" I coldly peeped at them.

"That's all you have to say?. I can't believe this" Liliana furiously glared at me. I don't know what she expected me to say.

"Sir, which drink do you want this morning?" Bertha walked to me without noticing their presence in the room. She felt some weird scents so she turned around and saw them "Sorry, my senses aren't as they used to be in the past. My bad" she explained.

"What can I serve you ma'am?" she moved to them. "No need, they are living" my voice halted her. She glared at with embarrassment. "You heard me well, Bertha. You can leave!" she moved away reluctant to.

"I'm feeling a strange scent in this house… Something female-like. Mark, who are you with, I hope she isn't a human?. Humm, — It can't be, you never bring them home. Who is she then?" Liliana investigated with curiosity garnished on her face.

Without wasting any time, she moved upstairs. Luckily, I was smarter and I obstructed the path. She could be a pest at a times. What do I mean she was a constant pest in my life?.

"Get out of my way!" she hits me on the shoulders. "Don't be pathetic. You ain't going nowhere. You both should leave now. I need back my space" I yelled.

"Are you driving me out of your house?. Wow, — Who is she, do I know her?" she urged me to talk in vain. "Mark, fear not, I won't bite her" she taunted..

"Ha! Ha!. I'm scared of you" I replied sarcastically. "Then allow me to see her." she kept on shoving me in vain. "What makes you think it's a, she?" I asked.

"Enough!. You both should stop acting like kids" Lilith chided "Mark…" she hauled my name "You are above this!" she reprimanded. Indeed she was right but never when it came to Liliana. She knew how to active my silly side.

"We have to leave anyways" Lilith pulled her sister with her, saying "Give him some peace." she frowned. "Thank you, Lilith, I keep telling her that" he shrieked.

"Don't thank me, you ain't making any efforts either" she scowled as she dragged Liliana out with her.

"Today at 6 pm on the dot, dad said it urgent and you know him" Liliana still managed to add as she disappeared from my site. Lilith took her straight into the car.

"Why did you force me out or ain't you eager to see the lady in Marks's bed?. You know-how private he is. If he brings a lady home this means she matters to him" Liliana angrily lectured her sister.

"So Damn what?. If it's serious he will show her up when he's ready to. You don't have to invade his privacy like this. Give him some space, he's not your boyfriend" she chided.

"But, — he's my brother" Liliana was embarrassed. "And what is he to me?. A friend?. No, he's also my brother but I don't stalk him at any least opportunity. It's becoming an obsession with you. Come on" she condemned.

"Wow, Lilith, you're making sound as if I'm a psychopath. Lol, I'm just poking fun of my brother and that's all. I know you can't understand, you are too stiff" she grumbled.

"I'm not stiff" she frowned "Whatever, we have to go shopping before, Derek notice his credit card is missen" she happily screamed. "Woah!!!" Liliana happily screamed, she loved shopping.

Lilith drove off.
