Chapter 49:HIGH NOON PART 2

When I came out of Mace's room I noticed an open door that had up to a million books inside I just figured that it was the mansion's library that Jenila told me so much about..Some things she said were that it holds the deepest and darkest secrets of the De la cruz family but in order for one to access it you have to be determined to dig deep..I walked towards the library and looked left and right making sure that no one noticed me then I slowly entered the room and my jaw literally fell to the floor..This place was like a museum of books..I could get lost in the place..As I looked around still in awe of the place I noticed an odd looking wall that seemed to be a different shade of gold from the rest of the wall..Thanks to my good eye for small details I noticed this defect quickly..I walked slowly towards the wall and placed one hand on it and moved it around trying to see whether I would feel anything odd..but nothing..I tried to push it to see whether there was a whole new room behind it but still nothing..Feeling annoyed I looked up due to the thunder from outside and thanks to the light of the thunder I saw a lever way up near the crystalline ceiling dome..and it gave me a light bulb moment I sneaked out of the library and got a building potion out of my bag and came back and decided to make a really tall ladder then I put the potion away and climbed the ladder..The height just got higher and higher and whenever I turned to see the ground I could almost see nothing..

I got a little frightened and swallowed hard as I kept on climbing then as I reached to where the lever was..the ladder became wobbly and to my shock it disappeared and then I fell..I closed my eyes and screamed as I fell and to my suprise someone caught me..I opened my eyes slowly and let out a sigh of relief when I saw who it was..It was Mace and he held me so close to him our faces were only inches away from each other then I shook myself for him to put me down and he did.He stared at me and then looked up in total confusion wondering how I was able to reach the lever even without a ladder or so he thought..Then he spoke..

Mace:London how did you fall from such a height?..This place has no ladders..The ladders were all burnt a long time ago..because of intruders..

What do I tell him..so that he won't get suspicious of me..

London:Um..well you see..I was curious about that book up there and since I saw no ladder I decided to climb up there..

Mace:You what!..You climbed up by yourself with your hands..

London:Yes..I'm a..well I used to be a gymnast back in the day..so with a sitch like this I just thought I should climb it and I really wanted to get that book up there..

Mace:Wow..I'm shocked..it's surprising actually..like you're so multi talented..the way you were able to carry that heavy rod back at the office and beat those thugs on your own and now climb to such a massive height is crazy..

London:Yeah..well thanks..and what are you doing here anyways?..

Mace:Well you took a really long time..and I was getting really sleepy so I decided to look for you..

London:Oh well..I was just exploring this beautiful library that's what I did after I used the restroom..

Mace:Ok..totally ok..You can explore the next time you come here..

London:Really!..

Mace:Yeah..

London:So I can come anytime I want to..

Mace:Yes you can..and I don't care about my Dad's opinion if he objects..

London:(Hugs Mace)..You're amazing..

Mace:Well yes..and I wanted to show you something..

London:Ok..

We both went back outside to the terrace and then he showed me the picture of the restaurant that I had felt was familiar and then he spoke..

Mace:London I've been wanting to ask you..uh will you go out on a date with me..to this restaurant..and actually it's really dear to me and I want it to be special for the both of us..so what do you say?..

As I stared at him speechless something caught my eye behind him and I noticed that it was my phone!..I pushed him aside and rushed to it immediately..

London:My phone!..What happened to it!..why is it in a million pieces!..

Mace:Oh uh..well it slipped out of my hands when I wanted to remove it from the charger..I'm really sorry..

London:Oh hell! How will I call Aunt and Miguel now..

Mace:Don't worry I'll get you a new one..first thing tommorow..I promise..

London:Ok..

Mace:And I hope you agree to go on a date with me tommorow..(Attempts to leave)..

I thought deeply as I held the pieces of my phone close to me and then an idea popped up in my head..I would still be able to come here and go to the library if I go on that stupid date with him..and it will totally work..and also I could use a brand new advanced technology gadget to aid me on my mission so why not..

London:Mace wait..

He turned to me with an expecting look..then I spoke..

London:Ok..I agree..I will go out on a date with you tommorow..

Mace:(Smiles)..You really mean it..

London:Yes!..

Before I could talk further he ran to me and lifted me up in his arms and twirled me around in a hug then he slowly put me down as we both laughed..

London:You look extremely happy as if you've been waiting to ask me since forever..

Mace:Yes..To be honest I told some of my close friends and staff about it and they all wanted me to ask you..

London:Hmm..well Tell them later that I said yes..

Mace smiled widely and pulled me into a hug and I smirked while doing so..now I have a huge plan in mind and I'm only a few steps away from achieving my ultimate goal and I honestly can't wait to see that wretched floozy and manky whore of a man Armando De la cruz finally see how hell is like..His countdown starts now..
