Soon after, Queen arrived at her destination. It took 5 minutes from the entrance to go to where the house was located.
Queen now stood in front a beautiful and large 2 storey house surrounded by flowers and trees. The house was isolated as it was located very deep into the garden. Yet, the style of the place was very modern.
It was a peaceful environment around and she
could smell the grass and the morning dew drops.
"Ahhh" Queen inhaled the fresh air and let out a contented sigh. She swung the keys around her finger before whistling happily.
She was on a mission today. She felt quite excited about it. She quietly inserted the key into the keyhole and scanned her finger before twisting the door knob open.
Queen expected to enter the house with no incidents but suddenly she heard soft footsteps running towards her.
As soon as the owner of the soft footsteps saw her, 'it' started barking.
'Bow! Bow!' It barked and growled at Queen. The voice belongs to an adorable looking puppy. The puppy was white in color with brown around its eyes. Queen could immediately tell that it was a jack russell terrier.
Queen was quite surprised but she didn't let the situation throw her.
"Hey there doggy!" Queen waved cheerily and bent down to sit at the same level as the puppy. She opened her palm up and the dog sniffed her hand. The dog started licking Queen's hand as it didn't sense any danger from her.
Queen giggled at the sensation before carrying the puppy up on her lap. She petted its ears softly and said,"Apparently you are a male. I wonder what's your name?"
"It's Cream Puff." A voice sounded from the right side of Queen. She turned to see Quince standing at the stairways. He was wearing dark blue pajamas, his shirt unbuttoned on the top, revealing a slight peek of his cleavage.
Any woman that saw the sight in front of them would be a bit hazy at the aura the man exuded. He still had his bed hair and his eyes were lazy from sleep. His movements and actions simply showcased his natural sexiness.
Queen, on the other hand, merely looked at him and smiled cheerfully. She wasn't affected by the sight at all.
"How are you feeling?" She asked with a teasing tone in her voice.
Quince ignored her question and asked one of his back instead,"How did you get in?"
Queen grinned cheekily before answering him with 2 words, "Your mother."
The truth was, his mother called her up one day ago. His mother and her mother Celine, are good friends since a long time ago. They were both from France and knew each other way before their marriage to their current respective partners.
His mother told her that Quince was down with a fever. Since he lived on his own, away from the main house of the family, she had been quite worried about him.
Queen wasn't sure how she found out about Quince's sickness since she even knew that he was sick because he was in the pool. Queen can only give thanks to the heaven that she didn't know the reason why he was there.
A day ago:
His mom: Bonjour Reine!(Queen in French) Am I disturbing you?
Queen: Not at all! How are you Madam?
His mom: I'm alright! But it's my dear son Quince! I was informed that he's sick.
Queen: oh! What happened? *genuinely surprised*
His mom: Apparently when he was on the cruise,he went back to his office drenched all over. I think he fell into the pool. Since he had been overworking himself for a few days, that incident made him have a fever.
Queen with a slightly red face as she thought of the reason: *gasps* Is he ok?
His mom: He said he is. But I'm so worried about him since he lives on his own. Reine won't you go check on him for me?
Queen: Gladly! It's the least I could do.
And that was how she ended up at his place.
Even though Quince had an inkling on how she got in, he still wanted to get an answer from her. Hearing her reply, he sighed helplessly.
Quince walked over to where she was sitting with Cream Puff. Seeing that his loyal dog easily allowed Queen to pet him made Quince felt angry yet amused at the same time.
Quince was asleep but when he heard Cream Puff barking he woke up. He came down to check what happened because usually no one new entered his house. Cream Puff was already familiar with everyone that came in and went out the house so he wouldn't usually bark.
'Cream Puff needs more training.' He thought before bending down to scratch Cream Puff ears on Queen's lap.
Queen ,seeing that action of his, took advantage of their position to lay her hand on Quince's forehead.
'Hmm he still has a slight fever.' She thought.
Quince was startled by her action so he momentarily stopped petting Cream Puff and stared at her face. He didn't know what to do at that moment.
Usually he hated anyone touching him but strangely with her, it just felt really natural. There was no awkwardness in her movement as if it was only natural to have this sort of close contact with him.
"You still have a slight fever." Queen said as she laid her hand on Cream Puff ears.
"What are you here for?" Quince asked in a cool tone as soon as he came out of his daze.
"About that." Queen said as she placed Cream Puff down on the floor before standing up. She tied her hair before looking down at Quince.
"To take care of you." She said as she put her hands on her waist.
Quince stood up to his full height, effortlessly towering over Queen before asking, "How would you do that?"
"By cooking for you. Now tell me where's the kitchen." She replied as she turned and strolled forward, in search of the kitchen.
