Bab 11: Chapter 11: Think again mister!
Chapter 11: Think again mister!
The man looked at her like he didn't believe her. Demi's smile never wavered but the sincerity that she will carry out her threat never left my eyes either. It took him a second to end the call and switch off his phone.
She picked up Noah to try to soothe him. She placed him on her laps and wiped his face with a soft towel.
"Hey, Noah....stop crying, you are making people uncomfortable" she smiled at the boy but he didn't care. His cry intensified and she had no idea what to do with him.
She couldn't exactly call Charity or Wendy for help.
"Hi Sweetie...tell me what is wrong and I will make it better" she spoke to Noah in a soothing tone.
"Can you make him stop? He is giving me a headache" the douchebag man in suit said to Demi and she ignored him.
The man that was holding a newspaper dropped it and he sat up. He was the same man she had a spat with earlier, Blake Rivera. While the man in suit rampaged through his briefcase to get a document, the man with hazel eye (Blake) slipped something into his drink.
Demi looked at him and he pressed his index finger to his lips to tell her to be quiet and since she didn't really like the man that made Noah cry in the first place, she didn't stop him when he downed the coffee in a gulp.
Five minutes later, he was snoring softly like a pig. The hazel-eyed man left his seat and made his way to sit on the empty chair beside Demi
"Do you know what I hate more than people using me as a human pillow and people who blow up my life?" He asked and looked at her intensely.
"People who don't worship the ground you walk on?" Demi meant it
"Close enough but no, it's people who yell at babies and make them cry"
"Putting sleeping pill in someone's drink is illegal" she told the man.
"Don't tell me you are a lawyer too in your spare time, Red?" The man said with a smirk
"Don't call me Red and yes I am a criminal Attorney, maybe you've heard of me....Demi Aaliyah Macks" I told him.
"I have never heard of you, Red and to be clear, I don't believe you either. You are the maid I fired yesterday"
Noah's tiny hands went to Demi's hair and she tried to push the hair away from him. The hazel-eyed man took Noah from her without asking.
"He is a lovely kid, Red" he commented and the child almost fell off his hand.
"It's still Demi or Aaliyah not Red and thanks, Noah is indeed lovely but don't you need my permission to pick up my baby?"
She hadn't meant to call Noah her baby, it just slipped from her before she could stop herself.
"What the hell are you doing with a baby? The kid must have the worst luck to get you as his mother"
"Aren't you a regular knight in shining armor?" She mocked him. "Hand him over to me or I am going to start yelling for help. You have three seconds, psycho!"
If Noah was a teenager and he cared about what Demi had to say, she would have whispered the word traitor to his face but he was an infant that cared nothing of what Demi thought of him as he relaxed on the chest of a complete stranger and dozed off like they have known each other for days.
She watched Blake closely as he placed his hand on Noah's back and rubbed it in a soothing way and for a minute and for no reason at all, she was envious of her infant half nephew. Then a thought popped up in her head - she would sleep too if she was rocked like that by those shoulders.
"Do you still want to yell now?" Blake asked her as his head tilted to the right like he was daring Demi.
"No but you don't have to be so smug about it!" Demi snapped at him.
Blake didn't try to make a conversation or pretend to try to make Demi comfortable. He just closed his eyes like he couldn't care less if she was human or not. It infuriated her. First, he did something she couldn't do when he got Noah to shut up and now? Now, he was just being an ass to her.
"Wow...you are on another level" Demi said out loud accusingly for his rudeness.
"Shush, red" he whispered without opening his eyes.
"Don't you shush me, you imp!" she said through her clenched teeth.
Demi knew deep down that it was an incorrect name calling since he looked more like an angel than an imp but calling someone an angel wasn't exactly rude or annoying.
"You are going to wake the baby because I hurt your fragile feeling" Blake mocked her.
Demi found it more annoying that he kept his eyes closed throughout their verbal exchange of armor piercing words aimed at embarrassing each other.
"God please, I am not that insecure and my feelings are not fragile just like my fist won't be when it finds your jaw if you spoke to me in that tone again" she threatened in a slow whisper and rolled her eyes.
"Then stop throwing tantrums like a hormonal teenager and let me have a moment of peace" Aiden yawned like she was boring.
She was Demi Aaliyah freaking Macks! No man yawns when she was present or treats her with indifference. She wasn't used to be ignored or look down on until recently her day consist of people trying to be her and hoping they could become her as their life goal. Guys worshiped the ground she walked on, girls spend their whole life trying to become her, lawyers pray they don't have to go up against her in court and criminals hope they are lucky enough to have her in their corner.
Nobody has ever shush her or told her that she was throwing a tantrum like a hormonal teenager. Nobody dared.
Without thinking that she was in a place with half asleep passengers, two teens that were playing candy crush, an older lady sipping her fruit juice and a young man reading a book, she pressed her lips to Blake's.
