The Devil's Sweetheart

Just when Devin got up to leave for the citadel hotel, a hand stretched out gripping the edge of his shirt tightly.

"Don't leave me." Leena pleaded in a whisper. She rapidly unfastened her eyes and reached for his hand when she realized she lost the affection and warmth of her comforter. The word clinginess was not in her dictionary but the longing to have him by her side has intensified today.

"I will be back soon." He sat at the edge of the bed and gently grabbed her fragile fingers to soothe her worries "Now now...smile..your frown lines are getting visible...don't you want to look beautiful for the photos at the wedding?"

"I do face yoga every day, idiot. How could I get frown lines?" Leena yelled snatching his mobile to check the lines on her face. Liar! I don't even see one.

"Alright, sweetest girl. I apologize for my mistake. Happy? Now if you let me leave, I have some business outside to attend." Devin cajoled her, to finish the task soon and get back to her early.

"Was it really Kyle?" Leena asked, she has a hard time digesting the fact she was involved in such a shameless act. But her instincts believed that she might not have done such a horrendous act.

"We are yet to find the truth. But have trust in me. I can assure you that nothing will happen." Devin swore to her.

"I do trust in you." Leena learned that he stands by his words and she got her reassurance already that he would safeguard her.

"Can you stay for a little longer?" Leena asked putting up her innocent puppy face not ready to part away with him. She wanted to know more about him and to understand him. Does he belong to my short-term goal or a long-term goal?

"I will stay." He whispered. "But we are not talking about the incident anymore."

"Ok done!!" Leena cheered herself with his words. "Can I ask you something, Mr. Adonis?"

"Like?"

"You haven't yet revealed your name." She asked. Now she has become the sugar patient dying to know his name. Even though it's a very common and straightforward approach which is not her usual style, she got bored with the ways she does crazily all the time. Once she wanted to approach normally.

"Forget about it until you disclose your name." He declared.

"You are acting as if you don't know my name. You would have known about my full bio by now," Leena argued, she has heard from Reese that in many CEO books if a rich boy wants to know about a girl, he would order his secretary and by the next day. Boom. everything about her past, her likes, dislikes would be on his table. She scratched her brain thinking how they get hands-on personal data without any source. If the woman is a celebrity, the logic would apply but how would they find if she is a normal woman? Even if Leena hacks she couldn't get such kind of information. Do they go for mind hacking? Leena wondered. And that annoying Reese binge read those kinds of illogical books.

"I am not a pervert like you. Besides, I still don't know your name." Devin half lied. His only mistake was getting to know her name through other means. But even when he got the chance to know about her personal information, he did not trespass her privacy. He knew she doesn't like to pry on her personal information. If he has to know about her, it has to flow naturally and that's how both like it.

"If I know that you are lying, I will roast you alive." She threatened him, for Devin's doom is coming soon.

"For a vegan girl, your thoughts are a little wild." He cleared his throat afraid of the day she would roast him but for now, he tried to distract her with an idea that popped up in his mind. "Shall we play a small game?"

"What kind of game?"

"Name discovering game!! We will try to find our names without asking anyone. If you can't find my name before Leah's wedding, you should grant me a wish and the same goes for you and no cheating in the process." He got a hunch that she would hack into his account in the worst-case desperate to find his name. Devin felt an extreme ounce of happiness his efforts are blossoming.

"Wish?" Leena marveled with the thought for quite some time. What if I fail? Does he make me his servant and order me to clean his bathrooms and sweep his floor until my back would ache? Worse he could even order me to massage his body, after all, I will be his servant by then. Dirty fellow. Leena imagined herself cleaning, sweeping, dishwashing, massaging his body and she stopped visualizing turning beet red when her hands went further down.

"Back to the earth Miss pervert." Devin snapped his fingers when he sensed she went into cuckoo land again. Even God doesn't know what kind of story her crazy brain would be creating now.

"Alright, Mr.Adonis. But I want the name of your first letter word at least. Mine starts with L." She said, the worse case if she fails, she would run away from the punishment. But if I win, I will make him my servant for one month.

"What's the first word of your name then?"

"D."

D? Deep-V-diver! Wow! what a name for this manly creature. Even when Leena has no idea of his name, she felt the name suited accurately for Devin's hotty body, and even before she knew, her eyes unconsciously drifted towards his pants when a thought suddenly pooped into her mind.

"Mr. Adoins can you remove your running shoes?" Leena's question came out of the blue.

"Why?"

"Don't ask questions. Just remove it."

Leena pestered him until Devin removed his shoes and after analyzing them for a while, she asked him to show his fingers surprising him.

Indeed they are big. She giggled with her discovery.

"What funny thing did you discover in my fingers and feet?" Devin chuckled listening to her sweet giggles are the melody to his ears.

"You will be amazed by my ingenious brain if I reveal the fantastic thing I discovered."

"I am all ears." Leena gestured him to come forward.

"Your ring finger is way bigger than your index finger." This is the thing she unearthed examining his hands and feet for a while.

"So?" Devin looked at his fingers and indeed his ring finger is quite bigger than his index but that happens with many men or am I missing something?

"You don't even know about it? Leena banged her head onto the pillow out of frustration. He neither knows Dorothy slang nor the black hole. How should I deal with this innocent creature?

" Did I miss something?" Devin asked.

"Fine! Looks like I have to teach you everything from the scratch. If your ring finger is bigger than your index finger, then your 'Alabama black snake' must be very big, idiot. Now you get it?" Leena whispered in a low voice, her tone has a mocking edge for not even catching a single dirty word. What else he can do when he doesn't have good friends to teach all this kind of stuff. It's not that I am experienced. I am just born intelligent unlike him. Poor creature. Austin must be busy dating girls and as usual, those two love birds are busy bouncing their pogo sticks into each other leaving the poor creature alone.

While Leena was feeling bad for Devin all the time, Devin was lost hearing her answer. He only came out of his trance when Leena snapped her finger.

"Mr. Adonis, back to earth," Leena shouted. He must have entered into a trance feeling jealous of my genius brain.

"How can you speak so shamelessly with a man and where do you learn all these things? Pleasure pump, Alabama black snake! You are the lewdest girl I have ever seen in my life." Devin came back from his stupor and the first thing he did is to knock her head for always imagining dirty things in her mind. Does Francis know about her dirty mind?

"You are calling me shameless and lewd? Aren't we BFF's, dunce idiot? They do speak all these things. Besides, I don't need to learn things. I am born intelligent." She adjusted her hair gently combing her lovely hair. Why does everyone knock on my head spoiling my precious hair?

"BFF? You are misusing it way smartly." Devin thundered. if I stay here for a single second, my thoughts would drift elsewhere. I have a mission to accomplish right now.

"Sleep tight, dirty girl." He put her under the blanket and was ready to leave, but Leena pulled his hand.

"Maintain a little distance with Andrew and Jasper," Leena warned him. Those two are sex maniacs. If they can go wild with even pants on, she couldn't imagine them without clothes and she was scared of this innocent person. What if they attack him suddenly. Do I have to safeguard him from those two? I should ask Reese about their affair to understand better to protect him.

"Alright." He squeezed her cheeks lovingly and walked away. She must be feeling jealous that they are occupying my time and space. Don't worry sweetheart.. Once I come back, I will spend my time with you alone.
