The Toxic Deal

BLUNDER - 3

CAMERON

Now was the time she decided to look up, her mouth was full of food which she was chewing in a very unladylike manner.

"dwndisbme"

"what?" Gabriel asked in confusion.

"iswaidwndisbme"

"what?"

"iswai-"

"finish your food first dumbass" I seethed in anger. I knew if she kept going like this then it will not take too long for King to explode.

My body was tensed and my heart was beating loudly in my ears. It took every ounce of braveness in me to not tremble under King's heated gaze. Today might be my last day on this Earth and if that happens then it would be all because of this foolish girl. I balled my hands in a fist to not let the anger took over my conscience.

But what took me by surprise was the fact that King was keeping his cool for this long. Maybe it was because she was a girl but as far as I remember, last time he dealt with a woman it didn't end well for her. I cringed inwardly at the memory.

She finished chewing the last piece of the sandwich and opened her mouth but instead of answering our questions, she took another bite of an apple. She was stuffing her face like she was not facing the world's dangerous man who could kill her without a second thought.

And then the third bite... followed by fourth... then fifth. And we stood there dumbfounded staring at her with mouth agape and wide eyes.

Ridiculous!

"I swear she is doing this purposely" Gabriel whispered in my ears.

I could feel the worry laced in his voice. But he was not the one on the tip of King's knife... it was me!

Honestly, I was not ready to turn around and take a look at the angry King. I was pretty sure that I would hear a gunshot at any time. But it never occurred.

Finally, after ten minutes the table was almost cleaned of all the food. She chugged down water emptying a bottle of one-litre capacity in one go. Damn!.

"wow! Now I am good to talk." She burped loudly making us cringe while rubbing her stomach. "So, you were saying something Camera?" she asked innocently, playing with her tied hairs.

Silence filled the room and I couldn't help when my brows scrunched into confusion.

"camera?".

"Yeah. That's you, shitty boy." She said casually making me clench my fists tighter than before.

"what? Don't look at me like that. You only said that day that 'my mind captures the image of every pathetic human being who irritates me in the slightest for eternity' and capturing images is the function of the camera and also it goes well with your name Cameron which is quite a pretty name for an ugly person like you"

My fingers twitched in need to reach at her thin neck and snap it right then and there.

The silence was broken by Gabriel's silent laughing which turned into coughing when I jabbed him in the ribs with a heated glare.

"don't. ever. Call. Me. that"

"now I got another reason to like the name more" she winked at me, obviously enjoying my all worked upstate. If only she was a man, I have had punched the daylights out of her by now.

"Why did you destroy the room?" King's calm voice rang in the kitchen making me and Gabriel shuddered in terror.

Her brown eyes swept from me to King. She took a moment staring at King's face, for which I applaud her as it was not every day that someone dares to lift their eyes up in his direction.

"I was hungry. I tried calling for your dolls here and knocked on the door for minutes. But you all were lost in your dreamland so I used my only available option to gain your attention and it worked perfectly fine." She shrugged.

"you ran over me" I forced the words out of my mouth as I was embarrassed enough in front of King but I needed to confront her.

"correction. You were in my way. And yes, always keep a big jar of water in my room. I have a habit of drinking water every thirty minutes. It's good for the skin you know. Actually, you should also try it, camera".

What the f**k?

"you even broke the toilet seat. What were you thinking? Do you have any f*****g idea how much this damage will cost us?" if only I could punch her and wipe that silly smile off her face.

"well I don't have such expensive things in my room back at home but they all serve their purposes really well. And actually, I was targeting the sliding doors as they are locked but couldn't manage to even scratch them. So, I gave up on them and decided to play it safe."

For the first time in my life, I was at a loss of words. For the first time, I was in a situation where I was not able to take out my anger. I stood there clenching and unclenching my fists in an attempt to hold back myself from committing a murder.

She stood up pushing her chair back with a loud screeching sound and yawned, flexing her hands in the air.

"I want a new room with a good view through the glass doors. And one more thing douchebags, don't ever disturb me when I am eating. And Gabriella send some clean and comfy clothes for me. I need a shower."

She smirked and walked past us flipping her hairs singing "havvee aaa worssst dayyy shitfacess."

We stood there letting the reality sink in and utterly shocked, including King. Gabriel sighed and opened the door of the fridge to take out a water bottle from it only to find that it was broken.
