~Eleanor's POV~
I plop down onto my bed with Raza running to me, "Mama!"
Hearing that word made me laugh as i embraced him, "I'm back."
Raza then nodded then turned to the 5 men sitting on the couch. "Why they here?" Raza said cutely with his baby voice. So cute~
"We have something to do later, so we will just rest here for a while." I softly said to Raza as i hugged him again, i can't help it, he is just too cute!
I look over to the others who were talking, should i make pastries?...I probably should.
"Raza do you wanna help me bake?" I whispered to him who nodded profusely after making me giggle. I held his hand and walked out, careful to not distract the boys.
As soon as i got out Emma walked over to me swiftly, "My lady! What happened to your hair!!" Emma shouted feeling stressed as she turned me around.
"Oh this? Nothing, This will go away soon." I said blowing away the pieces of hair falling on my eyes.
Emma was kept on nagging me as i went to the kitchen, "My lady! Do you need something?" The chef said wiping his hands with a clean towel.
Emma finally stopped nagging me as soon as we arrived, and Raza just ran to the counter to eat the pastries.
"Raza, you should thank the chef first." I said ruffling his hair as he nodded, "Twhen u" He said with his mouth full of cupcakes, making me laugh as i grabbed a napkin and wiped the icing on his lips.
I then turned to the chef who was surprised seeing me with a little boy who looked exactly like me, "My lady...Is this..?"
I laughed as i waved my hands around, "No, no, He's my familiar, Raza, the dragon." I said smiling cheekily then the chef immediately nodded as he smiled feeling embarrassed.
"About why I'm here, I wanted to use the kitchen for a bit, is it fine with you?"
The chef widened his eyes in surprise and bowed, "My lady everything in this villa is yours, you don't have to ask." He said with his head lowered and i smiled.
I then turned to Emma who was quietly watching us in the corner blushing, Oh ho ho, Does someone have a crush? I do remember Emma being only 26...yet she acts like an old lady..
I giggled, "Chef..."
"Antony."
"Chef Antony, why don't you accompany Emma while i use your kitchen?" I said smiling while he blushed.
"Of course my lady, how could i refuse your order."
I pouted, "That wasn't an order, but ok, byebye!" I said pushing both of them out of the kitchen leaving me and a stuffed Raza.
"Let's get to work shall we?" I tied my hair up in a ponytail and washed my hands.
What should i make?
***
After 4 hours in the kitchen I'm finally done, I made a simple Red Velvet cake, Macarons, cookies, Tiramisu, Churros...
Wait, i think i overdid it..
"Thank you for helping me Raza" I said as we walked back to my room. Raza stopped midway while huffing, was he tired?
"Are you tired?" I asked softly and he nodded while yawning, rubbing his eyes in the process.
I felt an invisible arrow struck my heart seeing his cute appearance, i wonder if my future child will look this cute?
I carried him back to the room as he slept in my embrace, his cute chubby arms around my neck began to feel loose as his face nuzzled closer to my neck, How cute~
"Sis, you're back!" Constantine said running up to me. I put a finger on my lips signalling him to keep quiet.
"Yeah, i made some...food.." I whispered.
Then some maids went in with trays of desserts placing it on the small table in my room.
"You made all this in...4 hours?" Hugo said looking at all the desserts.
"...Yeah." I said laughing putting Raza softly in my bed tucking him in. I guess i overdid it...I can't help it when I'm stressed though...
Charles started happily eating while the other's facepalmed.
"I'll go get some fresh air first." I said leaving the 5 of them to eat while i went out to the balcony. Breathing in the fresh breeze as i tucked a hair behind my ear.
"...Are you okay?" A cold voice said behind me making me turn around.
I smiled at Cole, "Yeah..I'm..Fine." I said turning back around to look at the scenery.
Cole walked beside me, staring at me, "The sunset is beautiful." I said reaching my hands out.
Cole merely looked at the sunset then back to me. "You're shaking." He pointed out.
I pouted and tried to stop my hands from shaking. I convinced myself that it was finally over, but it made me feel even worse. Lilian died just like that...with out any explanation why she did that..
"Ha..." I breathed out, I don't even know why I'm feeling guilty.
"Talk to me." Cole said flicking my forehead, I rubbed it and pouted.
I turned away from him, "I told you I'm fine, I just need time to think."
Cole laughed and back hugged me, his hot breath fanning my neck making my ear's red.
"It's over now, you should stop worrying," He whispered and i turned around still in his arms.
"Still.." I was cut off by him placing his lips into mine, It's hot..
"You're fine now, stop worrying okay?" He smiled licking his lips making me blush even more.
I got away from his embrace and went to the door to go back in, "Pervert.." I murmured walking in as he kept on laughing.
As soon as opened it all the food at the table was gone, Meanwhile Charles burped and rubbed his tummy.
"So fast?"
They laughed, " We were hungry!"
I giggled and plop back down to my bed, Wait the compass..where did i put it?
I checked all of my drawers, cabinets, under my bed, pillows, everywhere.
"Whachu looking for Ellie?" Alastair said noticing i was puzzled, Cole soon came in. Did he smoke? I could smell tobacco..
"Um..Did you see a gold compass in my room?" I said scratching my head, and they turned to each other shaking their heads.
"No, why?" Constantine said.
I bit my lip, and told them everything, except for the part where i saw Cole's mother.
"Oh..." Alastair nodded feeling amused.
"So did you guys see it?" They all shook their heads.
...Where the heck did i put it? I swear it was just on my bed...
I plop down on my bed softly to not wake up Raza, I buried my face on the pillow, did it just disappear?
Soon after i heard some noises, so i look over to them who was crawling on the floor and grabbing all the books out of the way with wind magic.
"...Pft--" I laughed and they turned to me, "...What's so funny?" Alastair said coughing.
I shook my head, "Nothing...But you really don't have to help me find it..maybe it just disappeared? either way, I'm sure it will find it's way to me when i need it.." I said smiling while Raza woke up, rubbing his eyes.
"Mama?" Raza said siting on my lap cutely making eye contact with me, I subconsciously pinched his puffy cheeks as he yawned.
Meanwhile, Cole was glaring at Raza for whatever reason.
Raza leaned his back to Eleanor as he played with my fingers while i caged him with my arms to stop him from falling.
"If you say so..." Constantine said scratching his head then looking at Raza who was cutely playing with my fingers.
"Anyway, about Raza, did you figure out why he turned like that?" Constantine pointed out and they all shook their heads.
While Charles just smiled looking at Raza without anyone noticing.
"Either way, I'm fine with it." I said giggling and patting his head, "Isn't he cuter this way?" I smiled cheeking and they just stared at Raza with a blank face.
"Anyway i want to visit..Cath." I whispered as i smiled sadly,
"Right now?" Cole said.
I nodded, "I have something to say to her."
They all looked at each other and exhaled,
Cole ruffled my hair, "Make it short."
I looked up,smiled and nodded, while Raza tried to take Cole's hands away from my head, "Mn!"
