Chapter 180 - Narcissist
Devin straight away drove to Leena's home when finished up his work. Following after they started staying together, both were reluctant to be apart from each other. Just when he keyed in the password, he heard murmurs from the kitchen. As expected, Reese and Leena were chatting while Uncle Pumpkin was cooking when he entered the kitchen.
The moment Leena heard his footsteps, in a flash she turned around. when she saw, it was Devin, she rushed and hugged him. "You came early."
"I was missing you. So, I finished my work ahead of schedule." He gently wrapped his arms around the waist without knowing Reese was dripping with spite for always appearing in between when they were conversing.
Watching Uncle Pumpkin stares, Devin released himself from the hug and strolled out of the kitchen before signaling Leena. With a guilty look, she peeked at Reese.
"He would come for my throat if you don't go now," Reese grumbled.
"Don't mind him. He is a little possessive." She winked and dashed out of the room.
"Both would compete in possessiveness." She muttered and turned to Uncle Pumpkin, looking at the door. Reese wanted to bang her head. Did he except that Devin would come?
...
The second Leena entered the bedroom, she was pushed to the wall by a tall figure towering over her completely. "I am hungry, Leena." He leaned forward and bit her soft lobe succulently earning a loud gasp.
"Stop it, Devin. It tickles." Leena squirmed when he bit her sensitive spot. "Release me. I will bring something to eat." Leena tried to loosen herself from his grip only to be pulled closer by him.
"But I want to eat you." He muttered skimming her bottom lip in slow strokes. "Where do I start?"
"First we eat dinner," Leena whispered putting a finger on his lips. She got so addicted to his kisses that she loses control all the time when his scent evades into her brain.
"At least, let me have you for starter th_"
RING. RING.
His mobile buzzed interrupting them again. Devin swore if it was Drew again, he is going to break his head today. Seems like he was lucky. He lifted the call with one hand while the other hand wrapped around Leena's waist and the call ended not less than a minute.
"Who is it?" Leena asked.
"It's Kurt. He is going back to Seattle tomorrow and he wants to meet all our friends."
"Don't go, Devinnnnn..." Leena wiped her dramatic tears. "I will miss you a lot..."
"Drama Queen you are, Leena." He spanked her back gently.
"Why do you smack my butt every time, idiot." Leena punched his taut gut with her fists knowing that it doesn't even hurt him.
"Spanking is a round of applause in appreciation of your magnificent cheeks, sweetheart."
'His mind is becoming dirty nowadays. Who is teaching him?' She wondered.
"Go and meet that snolygoster," Leena tried to distract him changing the topic.
"Don't think that I forgot our conversation. We will start again when I am back." Without heeding his conversation, Leena wanted to leave not to show her red face before her naughty thoughts corrupt her mind but she was pulled back by a pair of hands.
"I will take you to meet my family tomorrow." Devin insisted.
"Can we go the day after tomorrow?" With puppy eyes, she brought her trump card with her. She was a little afraid after the press meet. They would surely think that she is a riot.
"You have been telling me the same thing for a week and no excuses for tomorrow." His dad and grandfather have been pestering after they have seen the press conference and Leena has been postponing to the next day each time he asks. He knew she is a little scared of the bold front she put in the press meet. "Trust me, everybody in the house will love you. They are very sweet."
"Okay." She reluctantly nodded making a note to order a large volume of bananas for tomorrow.
"That's my girl." Devin gave a quick peck on her lips before he left to get ready.
..
In a private room of a high-end hotel, Kurt and Drew were babbling and laughing cracking jokes waiting for their friends and the moment Jasper arrived, Drew's happy face aggravated to the core.
"Nice hair cut Jazz," Kurt clamored vehemently.
"Woah! Even I love what you have done to your hair. But how did it come out of your nostrils?" Drew glanced at his enemy with mock innocence.
"Let my hand explain on your face, you warthog faced buffoon." Jasper twisted his face with a mocking laugh.
"I wish I have never met you, maggot burger." Drew laughed deriding Jasper.
"I am jealous of all the people you haven't met until now, lubberwort." Jasper sneered.
"Fight how much ever you want. But let me tell you. I have two pending murder cases sitting on my table." Kurt's silent threat worked on him. Both instantly shut their mouths and silence prevailed until Wilbur arrived.
"It's been a long time, I have seen you, Will," Seeing his friend, Kurt suddenly remembered the press meet. "I couldn't believe Leena is your sister. She is a_ She is a_"
"If you have talked with her, then you would have understood by now and yes, she is a narcissist," Wilbur sighed. It's not the first time he has heard it. Everybody who spends time with her for ten minutes will understand two things. One is, she is utterly crazy and the other is she is a narcissist.
"Tough job to deal with her," Kurt shook his head. He has been meeting a lot of crazies. Elysian and now, Leena.
"I am used to it now. Once when she was around eight, the bedlamp in her bedroom was not functioning. Since it was a gift by her Francy, she wanted to get it fixed and she dragged me into the mess. Do you know what she said after I repaired it?"
All waiter for his answer in anticipation.
"She waited for me to repair, snatched all the credit for herself. She even blamed me for taking a longer time than needed. The worst part was, she began accusing it was burnt because of me." Wilbur explained remembering the story. It made him laugh at Leena's silly antics.
"Thank God. She did not tell that she could screw everything in the world.." Jasper added.
"Here, I thought she uses only gaslighting instead of lightbulbs," Kurt chuckled. He heard gaslighting is a form of narcissism to gain power over someone.
"She shouldn't have noticed even if the bedlamp is burned out." Drew butted in at last.
"Why?" Everybody asked in unison curious about his theory.
"Because she thinks that she is the only brightest thing in the world."
Everybody: " "
"You have studied a lot on her in Seattle, Drew," Wilbur wanted to roll on the floor. He wondered how his sister would react if she heard these comments. "Do you know what all she has_"
But he halted his words when he heard the footsteps and he knew who it must be since only one person is remaining. If he listens to the fun he is making on Leena, his body would be hanging upside down on his office building tomorrow.
When Devin entered the room, Jasper was the first one to sigh in relief.
"Thanks for not bringing that monster, Vincy," There would be no filter between her brain and mouth, for he has an experience with her for four years.
"If I bring her, you can't even run your mouth." Devin chuckled sitting on the chair. He made a mistake not to bring Leena here.
It was the truth, Jasper ignored the comments. Having chatted for a while, all were boozing around except Devin. He thought Leena doesn't like him drinking, so he did not touch it.
"I heard the long drug case was closed recently. How did you get a hands-on it." Drew lazily asked collapsing onto the bed. He heard one of the employees in his law firm discussing.
"Elysian. Satan of my life." Alcohol has taken an effect on Kurt and he wants to release the pent up anger he was holding for Elysian. "Sick bastard. He wants me to wear a jumpsuit. In his dreams."
"Elysian," Devin muttered remembering the day where an abrupt memory hit his brain and vanished. He silently listened to Kurt's accusation and the more he talked, the more he sensed a strong familiarity with one person.
"When did he deliver the information about the drug company?" Devin asked, he got a hunch now.
"A month ago. The next day I received a Valor Award."
"A month ago? Valor award." Kurt has sent a picture of him taking an award and the next day, Devin spoke about Bernard's case. Is my hunch correct? Why would a person who has not appeared for six years suddenly appears back on the same day? There was only one person he could assume.
"Is it her?" Devin spoke to himself in a low voice. Goosebumps sprang over him at once.
"You know what? That bastard has hacked into my account again and asked my sister's hand in marriage just like six years back." Jasper grinds out the words between clenched teeth.
That was a huge blow to Devin. Hearing Jasper's words, Devin's eyes glowed with savage fire.. He doesn't know what kind of punishment he should search for now.
