The Devil's Sweetheart

The room was quiet except that there were short murmurs. Some were still in the sleeping mode to the point that they are dozing while standing. All of a sudden everybody stood erect when the rough footsteps pierced into their ears followed by a man strolled into the room with a commanding aura. His face was lively despite his age. Seeing the people attending his class, he was satisfied with the headcount. "My dear disciples. I am honored with your willingness to learn yoga and meditation."

"Willingness? You forced dragged us, Arthur Wang." Evelyn muttered which only her husband could hear. She has to operate a critical surgery and by the time she was home from the hospital, it was midnight. She thought she could sleep till her fatigue wears off but it was her mere belief. Her father-in-law dragged her here. Can't he spare me for successfully bypassing his heart surgery?

"Everybody has shown tremendous growth with your flexibility and now we move on to the toughest poses from today." He started and called his assistant which he has solely appointed to serve them.

"Dad! Let's continue with the previous ones, pretty please." A woman cried when she thought of the pains she has to endure in the night. From the day her dad took voluntary retirement from the company, he has been tormenting them with crazy activities.

"Sharon Wang!" He reprimanded. "You are becoming deflated balloon eating your husband's food every day. Do you want to look aged at your nephew's wedding?"

"No! I will work hard, dad." Her voice softened. They haven't even chosen a bride for her nephew but he has been torturing with work out every day. 

"Good that you know it." He glanced at everyone and shortly sensed someone was missing. "Am I missing someone here?"

"My son, Adney, father-in-law." Eve brought up with an excited tone. She was happy that his notorious son would get whippings today.

"And my husband, Callison," Sharon implied with an equally anxious voice.

"Assistant Fernando," Arthur called up sharply.

"Yes sir!"

"Get cold water. I am going to drag those morons out." Arthur voiced out and glanced at the people standing. "Warm up your bodies before I come back."

"Yes!" Sharon and Evelyn high fight each other with a giggle.

Right, when he walked out all the people slumped on the floor to take a little rest.

Arthur strolled into the house and knocked on the door of his grandson's room once but there was no answer. He knew they must be putting earplugs in order not to hear the buzzing alarm.

He opened the room with a spare key and went inside to see a mess up the floor with the food particles. Finally, two people entered his view who were sleeping like logs.

He glanced at his assistant and immediately a mug of cold water was thrown onto them. With a jolt, both woke up.

"Grandpa! I don't want to exercise today. Can you please spare your favorite grandson today?" Adney pleaded. He heard a ghost was lurking in the outskirts of the city and his friends have visited and talked about their experiences yesterday and he couldn't sleep from then. Uncle John was out of the city to get holy water. So, he asked his uncle Callison to sleep in his room and by the time they slept gossiping about the ghosts and their stories, it was dawn.

"50 lapses around the house. If you don't get up now, I will increase the count with each passing minute."

With a cry, Adney got up to get ready thinking to escape from the classes and rest for the whole day. Finally, Arthur eyed his son-in-law.

"Father in law, please spare me. Even I can't do those exercises in the morning." Calisson pleaded. He cursed his wife for making him agree to start the restaurant in New York when they were in the most heated second. Had he knew his father-in-law would go crazy, they would have lived in France with his parents.

"Then how are you going to lose the 200 pounds weight which you promised to reduce."

"Technically, I weigh only 76 pounds."

"Is it?" He asked. "Care to explain how?"

"200 pounds on earth is equal to 76 pounds on Mars. So, I am not overweight. Just that I am on the wrong planet."

"You seem to argue with me a lot, Mr. Callison Moreau?" Arthur glared crossing his arms.

"I apologize for that father-in-law," Callison confessed. But deep inside, he was churning in rage. Who wouldn't scold you, old man? I am waiting for the day to arrive where I can torture you like the way you are doing now.

"Get into the studio." He commanded and Callison scrambled out of the room scared that Lucifer would unleash the beast inside him.

When the people present in the room heard the footsteps from a little distance, everybody got up and pretended to do the warm-up not to anger Lucifer.

"Assistant Fernando. Show the postures that they have to work out today." He ordered and started observing everyone.

"Fredrick! You have become as old as Methuselah. Bend your body and do them properly." Arthur ordered.

With gritted teeth, he corrected the pose otherwise his back would be whipped today. What kind of torture is this?

"Evelyn and Harley! I am not hearing your breathing." Arthur commander.

"Can he kill us at once, mom?" Harley cried looking at Evelyn.

"Wait for a little Harley darling." Evelyn painted with heavy breath already. "Every donkey has a day."

"Are you telling me that we are donkeys?"

Evelyn: " "

...

By the time they finished yoga and meditation, everybody got tired. They dragged their exhausted bodies into the home.

When Harley was about to walk out, Arthur called up. "When is she coming home?" He has shown the photo which he clicked in the hospital to Harley and she informed him that she knew her already and he was on cloud nine hearing that his grandson likes her.

"You have been asking this every day, gramps. Go and ask your grandson." She walked away revealing her tongue out.

...

Leena instantly got up from her sleep when she heard the slight footsteps in her room and when she looked at the other side of the bed, there was no trace of Devin.

"Did I wake you up?" Leena jumped with a start hearing his voice.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" She got down from the bed and hugged him tightly. She was telling him how much she is going to miss him once he goes.

"I did not want to disturb you." He whispered kissing the top of her head.

"Come back soon. If you finish your work early, don't wait for a week." She loosened her arms and gazed up.

He lowered his head and cupped her face. Pressing his forehead against her, he muttered. "I will text you whenever I get free time." Devin has thought of taking her along with him but even her work is important and she would get bored while he will be working.

"I will miss you, Leena."

"Even I miss you like squirrel misses her nuts."

Devin spanked her butt. "Don't you have any other thing to compare?"

"I am trying to cheer myself. " She pouted and encircled her arms to console him. "Do you want to know how much I will miss you?"

"How much?" He asked patting her head.

"Without you, days are like tears days, waste days, thirst days, fright days."

Her words were all he needed that she deeply cares for him and missing him. He lifted her chin gently and looked at her eyes. Slowly he inclined towards her and his one hand slid to the back of her neck. Their warm breaths were the only ones that divaricated the rifts between their open mouths. He slightly glanced into her eyes and Leena took the initiative to kiss him. Just like how he did in the past, she sucked and played with his lips before pulling back for a breath.

Devin left her lips and found his way up to the side of her neck, biting it just a little and then moving back and forth like he is searching for a special spot and he found it when she made a small sound that was a hymn to hear. He traced his tongue in slow circles around the spot. She tried to lift her arms and reach for his face but he caught his arm and held it tightly while his tongue was doing wonders. He pulled back a little when Leena was struggling to breathe.

"Again!" She whispered when she felt his warmth was missing. She wanted to cherish their moments the whole week she would be missing him.

The corner of his mouth lifted. That was all he wanted. She wants him to kiss her as much as he wanted to do it. His lips left her nape and traveled all the way and captured the rosy petals. It was not gentle this time but rough and demanding. Both were dominating for the entry, finally, Leena gave in when she couldn't combat with him. His hand dropped from her face to the waist and pulled her towards his chest. A moan escaped from the back of her throat and her nose made him go crazy. He lost it.. Leena could feel his heart thundering like him, his breath faster and his arms tightening around her.
