Pov. Lila
"Plato, how can you refuse me?" And then she sits on his lap and greedily bites into his lips, from which he literally rapes her with his tongue. From this performance, the spoon accidentally fell to the floor, and when I picked it up, I immediately saw his mischievous eyes. Is he trying to scare me?
" Lila, come to my office! his velvety voice was piercing," and it was strange that no one was surprised.
" You know Platon Olegovich, we need to hurry to school !" I'm looking for a good excuse not to be alone with him.
" I already called your Director and warned you about your lateness, so don't worry!" We go out into the corridor, and I try not to get close to it, or my heart might break and stop right in this corridor. His perfume enveloped him like a terrible drug. The door to the office opens and I feel how hot it is here, maybe the devil has invited me to his hell?
"Scared?" A whisper in the back of my head, and I'm afraid to turn my eyes, because it will definitely swallow me.
"Why would that be?"
"Well, you're shaking like I'm a dangerous maniac!" I didn't like his sly smile at all. He opens a folder and I wait for his next words:
"I know all about you! And for a long time!" It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over me.
"I don't understand! Can you explain?"
"You are an orphan Lila, and your grandmother owes one million rubles! Tell me, how are you going to give them away? "only now did I realize that his eyes were treacherously brown. For a moment I stopped breathing, as if he had stolen my soul and was about to get to my heart.
"Maybe I should get a job. It all happened so fast!"
"What a naive girl you are! his gruff voice makes my blood run cold.
"What should I do?"
He pauses for a moment, then gives me a sly smile as he leaves his seat and leans so close that my back is against his Desk.
- Lila, I can pay your debt! But for this you…
As I dreaded the end of this sentence, his finger touches my lower lip, and I feel goosebumps all over my body, I'm wearing a warm sweater, and I feel cold. How can this be?
"What will you ask?" It's not a healthy attraction that's taking your breath away. I can't imagine what he's going to say.
"What do you think? Just become a member of our family! My daughter! But without all the paperwork! You are a girl already grown up, you are soon 19 years old and I can not become your guardian! Sorry about your little brother, he might go to boarding school."
"Oh, God, no! I have no one but him!"
"That's the point, I want to help you! According to the papers, I will only become Vasya's father. He will always have a roof over his head and a lot of expensive toys! And you Lila will become my daughter only in words, we will remain strangers on paper," he breathes my name, and eats with his eyes.
"Platon Olegovich, but what will your wife say?"
"I'm not interested in her opinion! I want you..." He paused after that sentence, and I hope it's not what I thought. Thank God he continued:
"I want to save you! I have been dreaming about children for several years now. But unfortunately, my wife is infertile. Your grandmother would be so happy to hear that you were agreed," his gaze lowered to my lips. And I immediately leave my seat.
"Will you be my dad?"
"Yes, but don't you want to?" He's coming so close again, and I get goosebumps all over my body.
"I don't know " I stutter at every word.
" But Plato already sees how the sweet girl Lila sits on his lap every morning and eats Breakfast with him! You won't refuse!" Нis haughty smile scares me.
" I have to pay off this debt by the end of the month!" He looked out of the window at the falling leaves, and I am speechless with their beauty in this autumn landscape.
"Consider it nonexistent!"
" I don't know how to thank you!" I decide to touch his shoulder, then freeze as he glares at me, as if enticing me into his game.
" What can be gratitude, you are my daughter!"
The door opens and I see an angry Vasya.
"Lil, are you coming? The teacher will definitely not let me in the classroom now!"
"Yes, I'm on my way! " I look up and see his mischievous twinkle. Just don't regret your choice...
