CHAPTER EIGHT

The Old woman instantly moved to do as she was told, Luna annoyingly fell back on the bed, covering herself with the blanket from head to toe, making vicious noises that sounded like a snake or cat hissing.

Edoardo held on to Zeno's hands, patting and telling him he was doing the right thing.

It was almost like Maria already had things set up because it didn't take her minutes to return with fully packed boxes.

It felt as though Luna was moving out of the country never to return. "What do you need all these boxes for?" Zeno was forced to ask.

"It contains Miss Luna's most essential needs." Maria simply explained. But the problem Zeno was having was that the woman said 'most essential', but there were like five boxes here. She was so tiny, so why the hell did she need so much stuff?

"Anyway, call some men to help you move them to the car." He ordered.

"Don't you think it's time you get up already?" He turns to Luna who still lay angrily under the blankets. The only response to his words was her kicks and turns on the bed, causing him to grimace annoyingly.

He looks over at Edoardo and the man just clears his throat out loudly, indicating that he isn't going to get involved this time. He stared at Marco and Mark just picked up two of the boxes that were to be taken with them and walked out of the room.

Zeno's eyelids fluttered non-stop as he was getting slightly pissed.

Rubbing the side of his head with his index and middle fingers, he sighed and said, "Piccola, get out of that bed this instant if you don't want me to drag you out." He warns, now loosening his necktie. "I'm warning you, Luna, don't make me drag you out. Do you think I want to live with you too? Of course not. You'll only give me a constant headache, but that's what Papa wants, so let's not make this harder for each other, alright, now get up" he tried coaxing, but she was one stubborn little thing. She just wiggled in the blanket without saying a single word back.

"The bags and boxes have been loaded, Master Zeno," Maria says, and he looks over at Edoardo again, but the man just turns his head toward another direction. "I believe her shoes are among her essential things?" he asks because he would drag her out of there barefooted. "Yes Sir," Maria replies.

"Piccola, I'm telling you for the last time, get up from the bed, or else I'll bundle you." He warns again, and Lords!, was she stubborn!

He looks over at Edoardo one last time as he folds his sleeves up, and the man waves his wrist in the air, signaling him to do to her as he sees fit.

Zeno needed no more words than that. With three long and powerful strides, he reached the side of her bed and landed his hands on her blanket, pulling at it, trying to take it off her body, but she was as strong as a horse, and if he exacted any more force in pulling, he might end up hurting her wrist so he stops pulling and since she refuses to let go of the blanket, he wraps it around her body even more, packaging her like a burrito.

Leaving her head sticking out so she could breathe, he lifts the burrito wrap up effortlessly and flings her over his shoulder.

Kicking, screaming, and cursing at the top of her lungs, he moves her. "Stay put, Luna or you'll get hurt," Hw warns her.

She however doesn't listen and continues kicking him, hitting him with her knee. "I said stay put!" He slaps her on the butt with his full palm.

"You big oaf, did you just spank me? I swear I'll kill you the minute I get out of this, you brainless Yeti." She hits him in the abs with her knees again, and he spanks her again.

"I will continue spanking you if you don't stay put on my shoulder." He warns.

"Did I ask you to put me on your shoulder, you idiot? Why did you carry me on your shoulder and now you're spanking me." she bawls. "You're just a brainless mutt, I didn't ask you to carry me, so why are you spanking me?" She bawled even louder.

And to think he'd have to deal with this from now on and till further notice.

"Why are you crying now? It's not like spanking hurts you. I mean you're all wrapped up in this blanket, I bet you felt nothing at all." He stops walking and places her down.

"I didn't feel it doesn't mean you didn't spank me. My body might not have felt it, but my mind felt it." She cries, and he just rolls his eyes. She was such a drama queen.

"Okay fine. I'm sorry for making your mind feel the spanking, okay? But please, please let's just go peacefully. Alright?" she nods a yes as he wipes the fake tears from her eyes. "Good girl, now let's go." He states, forgetting that she could not move while being wrapped up like a burrito.

"Am I supposed to crawl like a worm or a caterpillar?" She eyes the blanket. "oh, sorry," He says and quickly moves to unwrap her but then… "You won't make me chase you around the whole house if I unwrap this thing right?" he narrows his brows at her.

"Hah! You got me. I was going to, but since you already figured it out, I won't." she assures him.

"You sure?" he asks again, and she nods convincingly, giving him her brightest smile. "Don't smile like that, that smile makes me feel like you're lying." she instantly drops the smile, firmly pressing her lips together, showing that she wasn't up to anything.

With his eyes glued on her face, and a heavy breath, he unwraps the blanket. "Let's go" she says, moving forward before him, and he breathes a sigh of relief as she wasn't running. He really didn't have the energy to chase her around the house.

"But DK," she suddenly calls.

"Hmm?" He looks up at her.

"Aren't you getting old? Why would you believe me?" the corners of her lips curled up into a smug, and like lightning bolts, she took off. The blankets fall out of his trembling hands.

"Why would you let her go?" Edoardo calls out from behind him,

"Are you really getting old?" Maria adds, and he turns around to look at them both, his whole face cringed with scary frustration, causing both elders to zip their lips. He clenched his fists, pressing his nails into his palm, his blood was starting to boil…

"PI—CCO—LA!!!"
