Chapter 23 Zoning
Chloe Regens
“You bought a torch?” I asked.
“What’s wrong with that?” He asked me.
“I can buy that.” I pointed.
“So?”
“You’re annoying.” I hissed and he shrugged.
“Let’s go to the bakery side.” I pulled his arm and dragging him to the bakery side. Oh men.. so many fresh breads got out from the oven and it smells good.
“How many to you need?”
“Do you guys eat a lot?” I turned to him.
“What are you making first? It depends.”
“Frech toast.” I said.
“We can eat 4 per people.”
“Okay so we need 5 of that.” I pointed at the plain bread package and he took 5 packages of it. We walked to the egg section to buy eggs and then we buy milks and maple syrup.
“Do you want ice cream?” I asked Ken as he stand beside me looking at the freezer.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“No.”
“Strawberry or chocolate?”
“I said no Chloe.” He said seriously, I glared at him and suddenly my eyes caught an old woman carrying a big blanket. I ran to her and helped her.
“Let me help you.” I smiled.
“Ohh thankyou young lady.” She chuckled.
“It’s okay, where is your trolley?” I asked.
“With my husband there.” She pointed at the meat section.
“Next time ask for help. It’s not good for your body.” I said and she patted my arm.
“What’s your name young lady?”
“I’m Chloe, how about you miss?” I asked.
“Call me Hera.” She hold my arm and walked, we walked to her husband who is currently buying some meat.
“Parker.” Hera called her husband, he turned to us both. She gestured me to put her new blanket on the trolley. I put it in.
“This is Chloe and she helped me bringing this.” Hera said pointing at the blanket.
“Thankyou.. uhmm Chloe? I’m Parker.” He introduced himself.
“You’re welcome.” I smiled.
“Chloe.. should we go?” I turned to see Ken, standing there with our trolley. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Hera and Parker.
“Uhmm Ken, this is Hera and Parker.” I introduced him to the old couple.
“What a handsome boyfriend you got there Chloe.” My eyes widen and I shook my head.
“He’s not my boyfriend.” I chuckled awkwardly.
“Young people.. Why haven’t you ask her out?” Parker asked Ken and okay this is awkward.
“We’re friends.” Ken answered.
“Oh too bad.. you both look so good together.” Hera said and I just smiled.
“We better get going, our friends are waiting for us.” I said.
“Okay then.. Thankyou Chloe and I hope we can meet again in the future.” Hera said and I smiled.
“Bye.. Parker and Hera.” I said and Ken only smiled politely. We walked away and now I’m thinking what ingredients that we need for our breakfast.
“I think this is enough right?” I asked turning my head to Ken, but he looked at the trolley blankly.
“Ken.” I poked and he turned to me.
“Do we need to buy other things again? Do you need anything again?” I asked.
“No.. this is enough.” He looked at the trolley and said that. We walked to the cashier and I put the things on the cashier.
“Caila.” Don’t tell me that he’s the starbuck staff, I turned to see that staff. What’s his name again?
“Oh hey.. Fancy seeing you here.” I said and smiling awkwardly.
“Yeah.. just buying sushi for breakfast.” He showed me his sushi.
“Okay.”
“Do you see the number written on your cup?”
“So you’re the Joey?” I turned to see Ken raising his eyebrows. So his name is Joey.
“Your boyfriend?” He asked the same question as Hera.
“Brother.” Ken answered.
“Oh..”
“I’ll call you later.. I’m in a hurry right now.” I said not wanting him to ask things further.
“Okay.” Joey smiled and paid for his sushi on the cashier beside us. He bid his goodbyes and we paid for the things. My mood just dropped and I know why.
“Give it to me.” I’m currently holding the plastic bags and walked out first from the market.
“Are you on your period or something?” I glared and Ken, he looked at me with questioning eyes. How I want to poke that eyes!
“Chloe.” He held the plastic bag but I’m not letting it go. I kept walking and he followed me by walking beside me.
Putting it inside the car and I walked to the passenger seat, throwing the keys to the driver seat. Ken got in and he looked at me confuse.
“Okay.. you’re being bipolar. Can you explain why?” He asked but I don’t want to answer him and I don’t even look at him.
Suddenly he caught my chin and pulling my face to face him. I looked into his eyes and he raised his eyebrows. An idea landed on my head, I leaned my head and stole a kiss on his lips. I smirked.
“So you’re piss just because you want to kiss me?” Oh he’s so clueless.
“Shut up and drive.” I said.
“I’m not driving until you act mature.” He said and I turned my head to him.
“You really don’t have a heart, do you?” I asked in a cold tone.
“No.. I don’t have one so enlighten me.”
“You literally friend zoning me and sibling zoning me!” I bursted angrily.
“Well we’re friends and I’m your brother because your brother isn’t here to protect you.” He said like it was nothing big. I pulled my feet up and movex to Ken’s lap.
Yes I’m sitting on Kenneth’s lap everyone, I circled my arms around his neck. He looked at me a little bit shock.
“You know we’re more than friends.” I said looking into his brown eyes.
“I’ve told you tha-”
“Do you think I will listen to you?” I cut him and leaned my face closer to him.
“Chloe.. go back to your seat.” He said in a really dangerous tone.
“I’m not a kid nor your friend nor your sister.”
“Chloe.. I’m warning you.” He said seriously as he put his hands on my waist wanting to move me. Before he can do that, I crashed my lips to his. Running my hand through his hair and started to feel that sensation again but this time is bigger than ever.
I’m going to break you Kenneth Domanco and you can’t stop me.
