THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

“Emma, this is so cool!!!!”

Lily screamed for the second time after Emma had convinced her to open her eyes.

When they had taken their seats on the ferry’s wheels, she had immediately shut her eyes, following Emma’s promise earlier, whilst ignoring the chuckle she had heard escaped from the latter’s lips. And when the moderator had made an announcement and had wanted to shut the short gate, she had almost zoomed out of the seat, but it was like the latter had anticipated the move, and had hugged her to herself, whilst whispering into her ears to take deep breaths and trust her.

And she had done so.

It had taken some minutes of coaxing before she had finally opened her eyes. It had taken more than her own guts to do that knowing that the fun machine had been in its highest level and speed. At that moment, before she had opened her eyes, she had decided that she would cast a spell of time-halt if she wasn’t still comfortable, or wanted to disappear.

But it had turned out that she hadn’t had the need to do either.

Opening her eyes, and allowing the spirit of the fun to sink into her, under the constant encouraging whisperings of the redheaded human, she discovered that she had done it. She had ridden the ferry’s wheel, without feeling sick. And it was freaking fun!

“Emma…I will kill Damon and Daniel when I get home! I will kill Leila and Prescott too! They made me miss out on this!” She shouted, and Emma laughed, obviously pleased that her plan had worked.

“Thank you so much, Emma.” She said, turning aside to Emma who mirrored her smile with a one of hers.

“Don’t mention. It’s nothing.” Emma replied. “You made provisions for me today regarding food and clothing, and I deeply appreciate that. I knew it wasn’t really convenient for you. So, let’s enjoy the fun.” She added, before turning away and screaming out a huge yes.

Lily laughed, before doing the same, noticing that she felt a lot better than before. Talks about her aunt, Leonarya, always spoilt her mood.

A mood the human had managed to alleviate in minutes with a ferry’s wheel.

“You want to ride again?” She heard Emma ask, as the fun machine was coming to a halt.

“Yes.” She replied with a large smile. She wanted to ride it again and again and again.

“Alright then. But not again after that. Too much of everything is bad.” Emma opined, and she nodded while unlocking her belts so as to get up from the seat, as the wheels had come to stop a minute ago.

“Do you want Ice cream?” Emma asked Lily after the second ferry’s wheels’ ride.

“Yeah.” Lily enthused, bouncing on her feet as she kept her grip on Emma’s right hand.

“Alright then. Let’s head there.” Emma said, pointing at the Ice cream stand across them.

When they got to the stand and had made an order, Emma discovered as she put her hand in her pockets, that she hadn’t come with any money. She had forgotten that the trousers she was wearing wasn’t hers.

“Oh, no…” She muttered, looking forlorn.

“What is the matter?” Lily asked, noticing her not-good countenance.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“I didn’t come with any money.” She replied with a pout, and Lily chuckled, obviously amused.

“Don’t worry about it. I believe Lady Pat would make an exception for us.” Lily stated with a smile, before moving forward to meet the fat woman who was in charge of the stand.

Emma could hear the conversation that was ensuing between them.

Lily: “Hullo Lady Pat…”

Lady Pat: “Hullo Lily. How are you doing? How is everyone at the castle, including our benevolent queen?”

Lily: “All good ma’am, thank you. How is Uncle?”

Lady Pat: “He is fine, just a bit under the weather today.”

Lily: “Oh, alright. It’s not something serious?”

Lady Pat: “Not at all, my dear.”

Lily: “That’s a relief. I wouldn’t want anything happening to our favorite man. (chuckles)”

Lady Pat: “(Chuckles) You got that right. Is that your new friend? (pointing at Emma)”

Lily: “Yeah. She is my aunt’s special visitor…decided to show her around. We are actually here for a favor.”

Lady Pat: “Okay…spit it out. Anything for you, my Lili baby.”

Lily: “We want to eat some ice cream, but we forgot to bring some money from home. So… (gets interrupted by the woman.)

Lady Pat: “Is that all? Oh Lily…you should know that I would do anything for you. You can take as many as you want for you and your friend.”

Lily: “Really? Thanks a lot Aunt.”

Lady Pat: “Oh, stop that. Send my regards to your new friend and to everyone at home, including troublesome Prescott. (Chuckles)”

Lily: “Sure Aunt…will do that.”

Emma watched as Lily took up their orders and approached her.

Taking one ice-cream from the little girl, she looked up to see that the woman was still staring at her.

So, she waved a thank you; of which the woman acknowledged with a wave of hers and a smile.

“She is friendly.” Emma mentioned to Lily as they turned away from the stand to move towards the exit of the park.

“Yeah, she is.” Lily agreed, before taking a bite of the ice cream.

“Mmmhmmm…. always sweet.” She muttered in satisfaction, before taking another bite.

Emma watched as Lily ate up her ice cream like it was the best thing in the world, and mused.

It could be no better then Dina’s. She thought, before taking a bite off the vanilla flavored softness.

“Oh, my goodness me…” She mumbled, as she took another bite, aware that Lily was laughing at her.

“You like it?” The latter asked, as the walked out of the park.

“Yeah. It is so freaking sweet. Best Ice cream I’ve had in a while.” She replied, absolutely sure that she would be back here for more.

“Let’s sit over there, and talk.” Lily stated, pointing to a bench underneath a big tree with large leaves.

“Alright. Talk we shall…” She said, happy when she heard the little girl giggle at her statement, happier that she had succeeded in making the little girl free with her.
