Chapter 70

"It's Edward's! Not mine!" She yelled bending on floor to pick one gun and putting it behind her back before bending again to pick Michael's gun and threw it towards him.

　　Michael caught the weapon with surprise, his eyes reflecting mild respect and mild admiration.

　　"You can go for now! But if you kick some girl one more time, I'll make sure to remove your bladder and make you pee in front of whole public next time you dare to do it!"

　　To my surprise, he just nodded, bowed a little and went outside.

　　"You have Edward's gun? How!?" I looked at Edward who stood as confused as me.

　　"Well! I came to your bedroom to surprise all of you, but then I thought I would take Edward's gun and would threaten you into thinking that I am some criminal. So I took his gun but you appeared before I could scare you away!"

　　"Where exactly did you find the gun, then!?" I asked bitterly, eyeing Edward to show him how much he wouldn't let me have his gun when Rose could easily found and use it.

　　"Why, In your shoe box, of course!"

　　"What? In my shoes box!? Why would someone hide it in my shoe box?!" I glared at Edward, asking him in third person.

　　Rose yawned and started to pick up her discarded clothes on floor. "Because it's the place where you would least expect the gun to be found!"

　　"You hid the gun in my stuff thinking I would never search my own things for it!?'

　　Edward merely scratched his head in nervousness.

　　"Guilty!? But it's for your own sake, lily! I didn't want you to get hurt or anything. That's why!"

　　"My my. Such a young love in such a tender age. God pardon me if I happen to curse such true love unconsciuosly cause I was never a believer of love, soul mates or partners. I'm going to take a shower now! Continue you two!"

　　-----------------------------------------------------------

　　Covering with lid, I placed the last food container on dining table before placing spoons and folks around the plates. Miranda helped me carry all those as she still thought I was weak with all those late night sleeps. I requested her to go sleep early as she did work all day and she could be sick anytime the way she was pushing herself considering her tender age. So I was glad for once that she complied and went to her room to rest.

　　Rose was still taking shower, while Michael stood beside Edward, giving him report of whole day and the recent heartrending incident. His views about Rose made me think he was visualising her as some convicted criminal or serial killer affiliated with some dangerous Mafia.

　　"Sir, I still think it wouldn't be very good keeping that woman in this house!"

　　I smiled. "But Micheal, she's my friend. A friend of your Sir as well! So I assure you she's more of a kind-hearted person in real life than some serial killer you are speculating her to be!"

　　"But, mam, if you could just order me once, I could find her the best apartment in the whole city! Just One order and the peace of this whole house will be conserved for eternity! Mam!"

　　Edward chuckled lightly before picking up a spoon to eat. "You are worrying too much Michael. She's a real sweet girl we knew back from our college days! She isn't a threat!"

　　"But Sir, didn't you see how casually she pointed guns at you and me!? She ended up destroying your bedroom, breaking things in just one day!! She's more of a man than any women I have ever seen in my whole life!'

　　I chuckled, pouring a glass of water, "Oh dear! You're worrying over nothing. Drink some water and calm yourself!"

　　He nodded and started to drink it when suddenly, I saw him splurt out water, coughing violently, covering his mouth while staring directly behind me, his eyes widening to see whatever it was.

　　I followed his gaze in confusion to see Rose standing right behind me.

　　In nothing but a towel.

　　Very short towel at that!

　　Her wet hairs were sticking to her cheekbone, some of them sticking beautifully on her forehead and her long legs stood perfectly in view to anyone who dared to gawk at her.

　　Quickly my eyes averted towards Edward who was not on his seat anymore, and I found he was nowhere to be found. My phone blinked with text and I opened it fast.

　　Had some urgent work to do! Will eat when we'll have less audience!

　　~Your Edward!

　　"Rose, what the hell are you doing here?" My eyes bored holes at her short fluffy towel," like this!"

　　"Oh me!? I was just going to take my suitcase!"

　　"And where is that, might I ask?!"

　　"Why dear, behind the bushes of course! I forgot to bring it over in hurry but now I need it urgently to cover myself in some elegant clothes!"

　　Thank Godd of beautiful Goddess, she wasn't planning to roam around my pious house like this!

　　"No. You won't go outside like this! What would my neighbours and people passing by, think of you!? No. Hell no! Michael!"

　　"Ye... Yes Mam!"

　　He stuttered!?

　　"Go bring her suitcase to her. Now!"

　　"Yes Mam!" And he fled outside in hurry, as if his legs flew like a rocket to the moon.
