Tealana sighed, trailed a palm over her face. Leaned back in the chair, frustratedly. Unawared the door opened, and shadowed figured entered the room followed with light foot steps. Not turning to see whom approached her, as she said. "Not now, please. Unless you had brought me caramel latte with tuna red onion sandwich and freddo ice cream."
No reply. The booklet was placed down on the table. Opening her eyes and glanced upon the booklet then turned around, and looked up slowly the torso of her visitor. Leonardo stood quietly and smiled. Tealana smiled back and asked.
"How did you like your story, Leo?"
The blue clad terrapin smiled, and answered. "It was good, I enjoyed it. And I look forward to Donnie's. Can I read Mikey's and raphie's?" Tealana chuckled and replied. "I assume they could be still reading theirs."
The blue clad terrapin hurried out and left tealana sitting in the chair, wondering to herself. "Golly, never thought it was that good. Must've enjoyed it that much now he want to read his brother's." Glancing to the readers, winked. And chuckled alittle.
chapter 6
Little later, lair...
Elena and april laughed, entering the doors with casey following in after them. Carrying the pizza boxes and chinese food. Casey wasn't laughing, he appeared to be more bemused with the compliment. "Hey case, what is wrong? Didn't you like to be called the butler?" Elena joked. April chuckled.
"Doesn't mean I am in black and white, can call me the butler. We aint in a penthouse." Casey grumbled, unimpressed. Elena chuckled, taking two boxes from the top and replied. "Never know, one day just might."
Leonardo drapped his hand around elena's waist and kissed her shoulder as he asked. "What is this I hear about that one day we may live in a penthouse?"
Elena smiled, nuzzled lovingly and answered. "Oh nothing dearest, just us girls joking as we are teasing casey again." Leonardo glanced to casey and chuckled quietly, as he caught a glimpse of his unamused expression.
"Oh I see, teasing casey again. I am thankful you don't tease me otherwise you know what the punishment will be." Leonardo murred, softly as he nibbled her neck. Elena chuckled, blushed. "I do, you won't be that harsh on me."
April folded her fingers over her lips and giggled. "You two are something." Complimenting the pair. "Come on, let's eat." Elena giggled, and playfully cringed against leonardo's beak as he continued to kiss her neck where he knew was her most vulnerable spot, her ticklish spot. Leonardo would lightly nibbled on her neck, to tease her as he knew that he could with every chance he gotten.
Elena pleaded. "Ok, please no more my love. I am hungry." Leonardo chuckled and whispered. "Alright, sweetheart."
Never released her waist as he followed and sat down on the couch. April smiled whilst she handed the fried rice to Elena and she lovingly fed her terrapin mate. Casey lightly smacked april's butt, she lightly yelp then lightly slapped his chest. Casey chuckled and playfully winced.
"Ow."
"Shame on you, casey." April pointed her finger in his face then walked to the kitchen. Leonardo smiled, noticing that casey was told off again. Elena chuckled as she heard her lover and whispered. "Somebody in the naughty corner."
Leonardo kissed her temple and chuckled, agreeably. "Anyway, where is donnie?" Mikey broke the silence, interrupting with a mouthful of fried rice. Wolfjade, glanced mikey and folded her arms. "Now this is the type of table manners the children will inherit?"
Mikey sheepishly smiled, shrugged alittle and nervously chuckled. "Sorry, babe. Old habits die hard." Wolfjade sighed, and replied. "That is one habit going to be broken. Let's hope the children don't picked that up."
"Speaking about children, how are the pups?" April asked, grabbing a prawn chip and took a bite and waited before she continued with her question. "They'd be crawling right?"
"Not yet, and they're good. Sleeping, finally. Enjoying the peace while we can." Wolfjade, tiredly answered. "Good point, enjoy it while you can." Munching on another prawn and nodded agreeably as wolfjade said, whilst pointing her thumb toward mikey.
"If they are anything like thier big kid father here. I'd be indeed very happy." Elena looked to leonardo and wondered the same about donatello. "Come to think of the missing clan member, where is he?" elena recited the question that was left answered.
Leonardo shrugged his shoulders alittle and replied. "Not sure, I'll be back." Taking his arm away from her shoulders and kissed her temple as he stood up. Elena smiled and watched leonardo leave the living room to donatello's room. The group continued to converse, and eat while deciding on the movie they recently rented to watch. Leonardo stood outside his brother's bedroom door and exhaled, raising a closed fist to lightly knock on the door.
He waited, three knocks later. No reply, either a response. Raised his eye ridge and reached for the doorknob, turned it and opened the door. Peeping his head within and called. "Donnie?" Looking around the dark space room, scouring for any means of life within. "You in here, donnie?"
Again. No answer. Shrugged his shoulders, pulled his head out of the doorway opening and closed the door. Elena looked up to leonardo as he returned and sat down, draping his arm around her shoulders. "Well? Donnie coming to get some food?"
"I suppose donnie is sleeping, I couldn't get a reply from him." Leonardo replied, paused a second and kissed her cheek. "He will come and get something to eat when he is ready."
Elena smiled, nodding and glanced to mikey as he stood up. Holding the rentals in each hand, giving the option to all of which movie they agree to watch. "What is it going to be? Sci fi or Comedy?"
"Who's bright idea to get sci fi? Wouldn't that be like horror?" Wolfjade asked, feeling alittle uncomfortable with movie choice. Casey lowered his gaze, rose his opened hand and answered softly. "Mine."
"You know how I feel about horror films, casey." Wolfjade whined, pouting in the slump of the couch. "But this isn't horror, honest jade." Casey protested, sighing. April interrupted and explained. "Science fiction is exactly horror, jade. Yes, some are slightly graphic of horror sense but this is science fiction. Promise, it is perfectly safe." Reaching over and grasped her paw, gently squeezed assuring.
Wolfjade sighed, returned the gentle squeeze as she recieved from april. "Ok, I'll give it a go." April smiled kindly. "We can watch comedy if you want jade?" mikey assured. Jade smiled and replied. "It's ok, I'll be ok."
"You sure?" he asked. She nodded and answered. "I'm sure." Mikey returned to his seat beside her and held her close, kissed her temple. "I'm here to protect you." Jade chuckled, smiled. "I know you are."
April cooed sweetly. "That is adorable."
"So, which is it?" Taking the rentals from mikey's hands and held them up once more. "Sci fi or comedy?"
Finally the group replied, in unison. "Comedy." April smiled, placed the sci fi film down aside and said. "Comedy it is then." Inserted the disc in the player, returning to her seat and waited as the film was about to start. Happily ate her chinese noodles.
Meanwhile, central park. Donatello waited in the shadows, looking out for jasmine. Unsure he made the right decision in wearing a large overcoat and hat. Luckily he had, as he noticed the onlookers of strangers that walked by. Unable to see his appearance properly as they walked by. Begun to sweat, nervously and tightly held the flower bouquet he recently purchased.
The pair said and asked nothing. Just continued on thier way, presumably to be a figure of imagination or possibly a statue. Donatello exhaled relieved and leaned against the tree that became his saviour temporarily. Looking to his watch, it was almost 7. He grew anxious and felt sick in the pit of his stomach with multiple of uncontrolled butterflies.
Took a few breathes to calm himself, and finally he relaxed. Not far, a young woman walked down the path. Approached the bench where she and donatello agreed to meet. Quickly she appropriately corrected her clothes, lightly fussed over herself then sighed as she sat down and waited. Looking around and out for donatello to meet her.
Donatello stood in the shadows behind her, and immediately he was captivated by her beauty. His mouth had turned dry, and the nerves returned. Jasmine was waiting, and donatello wanted to flee.
Seeing this beautiful woman waiting, for him. He feared the worse. Then suddenly, his shell cell vibrated. Taking it out, and flipped it open. Reading the message he recieved.
'Are you coming? How far are you?' Looking up to jasmine as she waited, and paused for a few seconds. Deciding, procasinating with himself. Readied to press the keys, type the reply message then heard her sigh disappointingly as she stood up. Donatello couldn't let this chance to slip away from him. Closed his shell cell and hurriedly stepped out from the shadows but presented he had just arrived just as when jasmine stood up from the bench.
"Hi." he greeted. Jasmine smiled and answered. "Hi. Donatello?"
Donatello smiled from underneath the shadowed hat and replied. "Yes, I'm donatello. You are jasmine I presume." She nodded, rose her hand out to him as she approached him and replied. "That's me."
Looking down to the flower bouquet and asked with a smile. "Are those for me?" Donatello had momentarily forgotten until she had noticed in them in his hand and pointed directly, curiously. "Oh, yes. They are for you." Quickly rose and waitedly held them. Jasmine smiled, graciously taken the flowers and said. "Thankyou."
Donatello smiled nervously underneath his veiled hat and ask, stepping back to give way. "Would you like to walk or stay here and talk?" Jasmine smiled, and replied softly. "I would like to walk with you, to the pond if that is ok." Donatello smiled and answered. "I would like that."
The pair walked to the pond, enjoying and welcome each others company. Not far, hidden in the brush of the bush. A man, with a jealous rage had seen both jasmine and the strange figure with her. Closing his hand into a tight, trembling fist and clenched his teeth until they had slightly grinded. Decided to follow but was stopped as his phone vibrated in his jeans pcoket. Taking it out, glanced the screen for caller ID. Lowly growled with annoyance and irritably, instead of ignoring the call. He chose to answer it, knowing his employer will be irritably angry with him.
"Yes, master."
"You are needed immediately." the male voice instructed. "I will be there, in a short while master." Removing his phone from his ear, glaring down the screen and pressed on the disconnect button. Tucking it away in his pocket, lowly sighed and looked up to the direction of where jasmine and donatello had disappeared down. Grinding his teeth angrily again, turned on his heel and return to base as instructed.
**************
Leaning back and exhaled, exhaustedly. Running both hands over her face as she breathed tiredly. Standing up, pushed the chair back and walked to the door when Mikey stood in the way with a huge grin on his face.
"Finished? Can I read?" he asked. Tiredly smiled and replied. "Not finished, not yet and no you can not read."
Mikey whined. And started to harrass tealana. "PLease, please, let me read it." Tealana chuckled and answered. "No, mikey. Not yet. I am not finished. You can wait."
Raphael walked up behind tealana and folded his arms. "When will you be fin-" he paused when tealana leaped up to the ceiling and clawed for dear life. Raphael looked up and burst in a fit of laughter.
"Are you ok, tealana?" Glaring annoyed, and replied. "I'll be ok, if you could catch me to break my fall if you would raphael."
Raphael chuckled, untangled his arms and held them openly. Tealana fell into his arms, with a small yelp. "Was it something I said?" he asked.
"How did you manage to scare me like that?" Tealana asked, having her feet placed down on the floor. "I don't know, wasn't it meant to be mikey's job in scaring?" raphael wondered. Mikey grinned.
"Oh I get it, you two are hoping I'd give you the pages to read. Forget it boys. You can wait." Tealana walked to the kitchen, both mikey and raphael watched her then said as they glanced the audience.
"To be continued."
