The Devil's Sweetheart

"Good Morning Reese darling, I hope you had a passionate and hot-blooded kiss in your dream?" Leena playfully winked at her. For Leena, annoying the best friend standing in front of her is as satisfying as eating a banana because she is in crazily love with bananas.

"Passionate my ass. I was about to have my first kiss you know and it was all spoiled by you." Reese was throwing daggers at Leena. She was about to see her groom in the altar and have her first kiss, those two biscuits spoiled the dream and it's not even the first time it has happened. Reese is from a prominent Allen family and owned the famous Vision resorts and hotels in New York City, but she was least bothered by her position offered in the company. There are many roaches in the Allen family striving for the CEO position and her brother is already taking care of those cockroaches, so she is contended her family supported to live freely. She only wanted to live an independent peaceful and happy life.

"Was that me you were about to kiss in your dream?" Leena blinked her eyes with excitement and opened the door to let her best friend in.

Reese's nerve twitched with her shameless words. Too bad, I don't have anything to beat this annoying brat now.

"You shameless idiot, even the new girl joined in our office is suspecting us for being in a relationship and you still act like you are not bothered." Reese has never seen such a narcissistic brat in her life. She met Leena and Jane during her university and the trio set off as best friends. Following Leena's near-death accident, when she launched her own fitness channel after she succeeded in gaining the stardom, Leena was looking for someone to assist with the company. Reese happened to be looking for a job at the same time after she resigned as a secretary in her previous company. Reese's love for Leena was so extreme, she herself offered to be Leena's assistant. Leena jumped with joy when her best friend offered herself to assist her. Little did Reese knew, she has entered into the tiger's den.

Reese was dragged to every celebrity event Leena was invited to. Every single date she is arranged by Leena's brother, she pulled her into it and shamelessly claimed Reese as her love life. To add spice on the wound, she even bought a condo in greenwyn village and made her stay next to her but she never thought they were being targeted by the media and the little commotion happening outside. The media has trolled and labeled them as a dashing and attractive couple. Attractive my foot, Reese thought. This brat didn't even bother to clear that rumor.

Reese knew Leena was hurt in the past but never imagined her wounds run so deep, she had shut herself completely from all the men. How much that bastard has damaged her, Reese knew. She wished that rotten brute to be tortured till eternity. Till now Leena always maintains a distance even standing in front of a man. Even though Leena put a strong facade to the outside world, Reese knew it was a mask she is wearing and behind that veil, she is still a broken girl in need of little love and care. The broken girl has built her walls too dense that none could break it, her shattered heart has built her walls too high that no man can climb it. But Reese believed, someday someone's going to strike those and break through all the walls she is guarding and create a hurricane in her life and Reese is waiting for that man to see her best friend's genuine smile.

"Well, isn't it good? Without any trying, we have become a couple. Don't worry, I will take good care of you in the future". Leena placed a hand on her shoulder and pulled close to her.

Reese's face blushed with the sudden closure. why is this idiot so beautiful in every dress she wears? Reese cursed at herself for having such a thought and broke from her reverie when a sweet cinnamon fragrance entered into her nostrils.

"Hey, I am hungry, give me the oatmeal you made." Reese put all her thoughts aside when her stomach growled. She needed some energy to argue with this idiot.

"I did not make any. Go and make your own." Leena crossed her arms and glared at her, but the pig-headed Reese still ignored her dashing into the kitchen.

"The oatmeal dropped in the kitchen counter is still hot which means you have prepared it." Reese opened one of the kitchen cabinets and started her hunt.

"Detective Sherlock Holmes, why don't you make yours instead of wasting your valuable time searching for mine." Leena was inwardly laughing at her best friend. Too bad, the oatmeal is solemnly mine today Reese Allen.

"If I knew how to make, do you still think I would be eating your weird food." Reese opened another cabinet when her search did not yield any results in the first cabinet. Where did this idiot hide the bowl?

"My food is best in the world and I am a very good cook." Even though she knew her food is not drool-worthy, it is highly nutritious and she was proud of it. No, this narcissistic girl is always proud of everything she does.

"Yeah, mixing all the ingredients and boiling is also considered as an art." Reese felt happy that she can troll Leena for her weird food and resumed with her search. She was getting annoyed when she did not find her baby food. Feeling dejected, she was about to beg Leena when she unconsciously gazed at the glass bowl which was hiding in the top cabinet. Reese smirked and felt luck was running in her blood.

" Why you __" Leena stopped arguing and her eyes widened when she saw Reese spotting her oatmeal. She rushed into the kitchen when it was about to tumble into Reese's hands. Before she could grab it, another hand tried to knock her down.

" Mine, because I made it." Leena glared at her without releasing.

" Mine, because I found it." Reese equally glared at her without backing off.

Both were tugging and pulling the poor oatmeal as if they were thrown into a drought-prone area and finally spotted the light of food in the form of oatmeal. Reese knew there is no point in continuing when her stubborn best friend is not going to back off. She decided to be the elder here and slightly loosened the grip. While Leena was tightly clutching the bowl, she didn't know Reese has slackened her hold.

Thud.

Both ended up falling on one another.

Reese's alarm bells rang loud and clear and she was terrified when Leena was about to collapse. She grasped Leena's hand in aid while the latter pulled her unconsciously and ended up collapsing. When the events slowly unfolded to them, both started laughing and giggling like Chimpanzees.

After the catfight, they roused from their stupor and cleaned the mess they made and the poor oatmeal ended up in the bin. Both were equally famished and decided to make a quick smoothie. While Leena pulled out the ingredients from the fridge, Reese's lips twitched with the smoothie Leena was going to make.

"Leena." Reese cried and continued. "Can't you ever make a smoothie without mixing all the fruits and vegetables". She still remembered the day Leena made this green smoothie which she claimed to be her invention. She sliced a watermelon, peeled two bananas, and blended them in a juicer. Following that she added a bunch of baby spinach into it and blended again. This brat even added flax seeds powder into it. Reese's mouth wide agape with the events and finally she sighed in relief when the master chef show was finished. But for Leena, it was still continuing. While Leena found it was not sweet enough, she added molasses syrup and jumped in delight when it tasted heaven.

"Says someone who asked for more. You even gulped down my entire glass. Besides, it is very nutritious. Molasses syrup has 5% calcium while Iron being 3%, flax seeds being high in Omega 3, Spinach with 2.7% of __"

"Alright nutritionist, my bad that I forgot you are a fitness Moghul and now let's hurry. I have a pile of files to study in the office." Reese knew if she made Leena continue with the nutrition contents blabbering, she will do it for the entire day. So Reese force pulled her into the kitchen. Even though the smoothie was a product of mixed ingredients, it tasted really good but she is never going to admit it before this narcissistic woman. Otherwise, she will sit on the tree and announce it to the whole world about her so-called bizarre invention.

When they were done with all the work, Carrot entered after her peaceful nap. Good that she didn't see both of them fighting over the poor oatmeal. Otherwise, she would have helped them eating by herself.

"Hey, imaginary carrot, what's up? I am curious though. Why did your mommy named you Carrot when you don't even have any." Reese laughed clutching her stomach. She always wondered the reason for naming carrot when Leena knew Carrot is a girl. If Leena knew her dirty thoughts, she would have thrown her out of the house.

Carrot rolled her eyes at the dramatic Reese. This idiot always calls her imaginary carrot because she doesn't have any. Carrot ignored and went into the kitchen to see her mommy.

"You cheeky brat, you are just like your mommy." Reese glared at the ignoring carrot and soon followed her into the kitchen.

"Carrot, you are up? Go and get your dress buddy. We are going to the office." Leena made a special room for the carrot in the office and filled with all the toys and takes her to the office every day so that she doesn't feel lonely in the house. Every employee in Leena's office loved carrot for her friendly nature and they even play with her in their free time.

After filling their stomach, all the trio headed to their office BLISS.
