The Devil's Sweetheart

After the small photography lesson, Leena felt like her skills have enriched a lot and she was already thinking of expanding her photography website after consulting with her producer who is none other than Francis Hayes.

When she approached the car, Leena sighed in relief when Devin was the one to get into the driving seat. Finally, I can reach early.

Sitting in the backseat, she closed her eyes and started giggling, when she imagined about the devotees she would earn just like her beloved photographer when she promotes her studio, but without knowing someone was throwing daggers at her all the way.

Not able to resist seeing the half baked photos which she has taken, Drew knocked her head slightly. The blow was enough to get her out of the fantasy world she was in.

"Why did you hit me, nutty idiot? Look, my hair is all messed up now." Yelling at him, Leena looked into the rearview mirror and began fixing her perfectly groomed hair. Devin chuckled softly and adjusted the rearview mirror again to get a glimpse of her, now and then.

"I didn't hit. Besides, you deserve it. You should be happy that I did not kill you today for the things you have done to me."

"Everybody is blaming me." Leena swallowed down a sob and wiped her eyes which were free of tears.

"Drew, what did I tell you before?"Devin stressed every word

"Don't stop me Vincy. Do you know how this fruit cake has played with me? I have become a lab rat for her photography experiment. Of all the things she has done, I was at least happy that, the photos would be good. But none of them could get a pass mark." All the pent up anger Drew has been holding since the photography session, he has vent out finally.

"Do you dare to call my photography mediocre? " Leena screamed.

"See it for yourself." Throwing the camera onto her lap, he asked her to check for herself of her so-called beautiful photos.

"It's just a blur. It happens sometimes, why are you so vexed about it?" Looking at the photos, Leena felt they were really good.

"If shooting your most beautiful photos is also my mistake, then maybe I really deserve the punishment. Mr. Adonis, stop the car by the lane, I will get down." Leena added wiping her tears.

"Drama Queen has started it, already," Devin mumbled.

"Stop your acting. Your drama credit card limit is getting exceeded." Drew glared at her.

"Then cancel my subscription. By the way, my acting is better than your driving skills."

Both started combatting with their words until they reached home. The only thing they didn't have in their hands were the weapons. Without butting into their conversation, Devin silently listened to their arguments, for he has no mood to get entangled in their quarrels.

...

After getting down from the car, Leena and Devin went inside their room to have some rest while Drew was wandering around the house in search of food again. Just after eating, he was about to enter into his room, but his footsteps halted when he was called by a familiar voice.

"What's up Andrew? Looks like you have become very close to someone in just a day?" Kyle asked with a smile. She was not understanding what sort of ability Leena is possessing that could attract everyone close to Devin.

"It's not my first time. I have already met her in New York." Drew's eyes lit up when he thought about their talks in the restaurant. He can't believe he found a vegan pal now.

"You don't talk much with girls, right? Do you like her? She is quite close to me. I can help you with it." Kyle asked in anticipation. Leena has become a hindrance whenever she wanted to talk with Devin. Even though he has given his rejection already, but her heart was not ready to accept it.

"She is like my sister, Kyle," To her misunderstanding, Drew answered her clearly. He wanted to tell her that Vincy loves her but held the thought to himself when Kyle is not close enough to disclose their secrets.

"I don't know what's so good about her that every one of you is keeping her on their head." Kylee shook her head at a snicker. Even though she is an outsider, she has been treated like a queen by everybody especially Devin.

"She doesn't wear masks, unlike someone." Saying that Drew walked into the room leaving the outraged Kyle. Even though they just had a fight, he was enjoying them and Drew has already accepted her as his new sister.

...

When evening approached, Leena, Devin, and Drew drove to Bernard's house.

Sitting in the car a little far away from his house, Drew and Leena brought over a bag full of bananas, and literally finished the half of it in no time.

"Why doesn't he come out, Mr. Adonis?" Leena asked peeling another banana.

"It's the hundredth time you have asked and stop eating bananas already." Devin has been seeing her finishing bananas, one after the other as if she has not eaten for days.

Stopping bananas? No way. To further annoy him, Leena started singing a song on a banana.

Bananas ooh na-na

Half of my heart is in bananas, ooh na-na

I can keep calm and go bananas, na-na-na

There is something about bananas

And now I want to taste my bananas

Bananas ooh na-na.

"Let me continue from here," Drew started singing in an exciting mood when it was about the banana.

ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh....ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Bananas ooh na-na

I love it when I eat my bananas ooh na-na

I am smiling like a monkey with new bananas na-na-na

It got me singing like

Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And then we had to realize

There are no more bananas to eat

oh-na-na-na-na-na

"Let me end it." Leena added.

Bananas ooh na-na

I can survive my day with bananas ooh na-na

I like yellow because it is bananas na-na-na

ooh-ooh-ooh, I am getting my potassium from bananas

ooh-ooh-ooh I may soon become a banana....

bananas na-na-na

Bananas na-na-na

Come back to me bananas

Bananas ooh na-na

"They are acting just like monkey descendants." Devin shook his head and closed his eyes listening to the melody voice of his darling.

"Why isn't he not arriving yet?" Leena asked after she was done with her singing. Even though they have arrived early due to Leena's continuous nagging, she was still expecting that scum to get out of his home soon.

"I am getting suffocated with this dress, Mowgli," Leena said, fanning her body. She gets nauseous with the car AC, so has she asked to turn it off.

"Both of you, remove that ridiculous banana outfit. Otherwise, I am not taking you into his house." Devin suddenly remembered the funny outfit they were wearing which they told it was to hide their faces.

"No." Both uttered in unison. They have spent all their time in selecting the dress code and finally went with the banana outfit which was famous for thievery cartoon, bananas in pyjamas.

"Then stay here."

When Devin did not listen to their pleas, both reluctantly agreed and remove the banana overcoat.

Just after some time, they saw Bernard's car coming out of his house. Instantly, Leena became aware and screamed at the top of her lungs.

The moment Devin got down from the car after he went, Drew and Leena followed him as well.

"You are not coming with me. Drew, take care of her. Unless I tell, don't get down from the car. Is that clear?" Devin declared leaving no room for discussion. There is no way, he would take her with him. He can not imagine if something happens to her over there. Even though he was prepared, but he didn't want to put his guards down when it comes to his sweetheart.

"Can you please take me? I will be really good and I will not make any noise." Leena pleaded. There was something in her voice telling her not to leave him alone today.

"It's not safe. Stay here. I will get the evidence in no time." With a sweet smile, Devin patted her head trying to coax the stubborn girl.

"You don't know the passcode of his house," Leena argued attempting to test her luck for one last time.

"I got it from Leah." Devin walked out not before flashing a wink at Leena.

...

"It's been an hour. He is still not turning up. Shall we go and look for him?" Leena asked getting worried by each passing second.

"No. Vincy will kill me."

"Brother." Leena pleaded with emotion but still Drew was not listening to her.

"Is there any other way Bernard can enter his house? I have checked all the CCTV cameras when I hacked, but there is no such thing for his home. Nothing will happen to him, right?" Leena was whispering to herself. She felt scared after a long time when she thought about him being in a danger.

"What if something has happened to him?" Her heart was in turmoil. What if something really happened there? Even though she knows, the search would take a little more time, but her wretched heart was not in a state to reckon anything until she sees him with her own eyes.

"Don't worry. Vincy is very good at martial arts."

"Just because he knows martial arts, you are not bothered even if something happens? What kind of friend are you?" Scolding him brashly, Leena was about to depart from the car but it was blocked by pair of hands swiftly.

"You cannot go." Drew meant it. If Vincy knows about it, Drew would be not be spared.

"Andrew Dawson. Nothing can stop me now." Leena declared. She has decided, even if something would happen, she didn't want to leave him alone fighting over there.

Without any choice, Leena bit his hands and when Drew has put his guards down, Leena kicked his feet and ran away even before Drew could catch her without knowing the aftermaths.
