Hollywood Zenith

" Kayla! Stop! What the hell are you doing?!"

Samuel turned toward the voice to see a middle-aged man glaring at them. He was tall and fit, considering her grey hair, but his uniform was the thing that caught his eye. He was wearing a beautiful black police hat with several gold-colored threads running through it in the middle giving it a distinguished look.

His suit appeared military, with one shoulder housing several red threads and his chest full of different medals. Samuel knew immediately he was someone higher up the ladder.

" How can you raise your hand on our guest!? I trusted you to protect him but you are throwing a fit? Don\'t you know who he is?" He said in a stern voice reprimanding her actions.

" Yes! I know who he is! He is a lecherous bastard!" She refused to back down.

" Kayla! That\'s it, you are-"

" It\'s alright. It\'s just a little misunderstanding, you don\'t need to punish her for that." Samuel surprisingly jumped in to defend her. Everyone was shocked to see it, but at least it dampened Kayla\'s rampage.

" If you say so Mr. Rothschild but I have to do something to set an example for other. Kayla go back, We will talk later." His intentions were clear; she would not go scotch free for this incident.

" It\'s up to you but you are?" Samuel asked politely.

" Just as Mr. Pierre said, your French is impeccable! I am Lucas Bernard, Paris police chief." He said, smiling. Samuel didn\'t even notice that he was conversing in French until now; his language adaptability was scary sometimes!

" Mr. Lucas, it\'s a pleasure to meet you but what are you doing here?"

" I just wanted to greet you since I heard you were visiting the city. It\'s nice to meet next generation leader whenever I get a chance." So basically, he was here to show his face? Samuel dealt with these types of people all his life.

" I would love to stay and talk but you see I have a child with me so.."

" No, no, It\'s fine. Please you don\'t have to accomodate for someone like me." He was good with flattery.

" I am sorry. I promise that our next meeting will be longer, but before that..." Samuel put in a few good words for Kayla. He felt terrible about how things ended, and he knew the higher-ups would make her an example if he left things as they were.

Thankfully, Lucas was not an unreasonable person. Samuel thought he would suspend her for some time, but now that he had spoken, it would be a lighter punishment. Few overtimes but no red marks on her career.

They talked for a few more minutes before Samuel returned to his car. He was heading to pick up Mayra from her work; Elise was still peacefully sleeping, so he had to drive a little slower not to wake her up.

When he reached her workplace, Mayra was already waiting for him. She tried to hug him but was mercilessly rejected, Samuel not feeling very well about engaging with her pranks anymore. Maybe because he was a little pent up recently, he felt much more sexual these days!

...I think you should take a look at

" This place is huge! I don\'t know how you could afford it on your meager salary. I guess your husband is rich!" Samuel teased her. They were in a pristine housing district; it was fancy, with each floor allocated to one family. Not many tall buildings were around, which helped with a beautiful view of the city.

" About that-"

" First let me put her down. Can you show me her room?" Samuel interrupted her.

" Yeah, follow me. She would be staying with us for a while, but due to her sudden arrival, we didn\'t get around to fixing her room properly." Mayra led Samuel and Elise, holding him in his arms, to a room on the upper floor.

" You call this not ready?" Samuel entered the room, and all he could see was pink. Pink walls, curtains, bed sheets, and some whites mixed in, but no other colors were seen. A dozen or so toys were also placed in the corner, but none of them opened.

" Right, there are few lightening problem and the bathroom is still unfinished. It\'s operational but we are thinking about matching it with the room\'s ambiance." Samuel didn\'t know if she was joking or not. She obviously didn\'t have much experience with dealing with children.

" Leave it be. You should consult Elise before making any changes. I don\'t think she is as obsessed with pink as you!"

" Says the person who bought her a pink dress!" She looked at Elise\'s attire and joked.

" Fine, but consult her in the future." Samuel walked toward her bed and gently laid her down. After removing any jewelry and her shoes, he tucked her in, it was a little early to sleep, but they could check in on her every few hours.

" She is smiling sweetly. She just had fun on your outing." Mayra said, caressing her hair. They left her room and went downstairs to the living room. Samuel asked for his room because he needed to take a shower. Mayra also went to her room to freshen up; a relaxing shower after work was the best!

They met downstairs, Samuel borrowed some clothes, but it was too tight for him, so he put on a long robe for the evening. Mayra was also wearing some pajamas, but it was obviously too short! Samuel could tell at a glance she was not wearing anything underneath!

" I will order some food! We got to celebrate our reunion like adults!" She proclaimed as soon as she saw him.

" Alcohol? Are you sure it\'s fine?" Samuel kept glancing at the ceiling, avoiding making any glances toward her exposed body.

" Heeh, I thought our little Sami was all grown up now, but I guess he is still a kid!" She grabbed his hand and stuck his arm between her chest. It was evident that she was teasing him, but Samuel was getting more and more frustrated!

" You! Sultry woman! Do you have no regard for your body?" Samuel jumped back, his sudden move made them jiggle even more, but she kept laughing.

" Body? But I am still a virgin, do you want to check?" She said something unexpected. Samuel looked at her face, and he could tell she was not lying, but she began laughing again.

" hehehe, look at your face! It\'s pure gold!" Samuel covered her with a spare bed sheet, but it became a pillow fight. With how she treated him, he was sure she still looked at him like a kid, which he hated for some reason!
