Chapter 4 - Kitten in a library

"So, stop fooling around and start talking." I looked her in the eyes as she mulled over my words.

"𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚍𝚘𝚗'𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚜𝚝𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐 𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚜𝚝, 𝚔𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚗?" Her words held mirth and authority. She leaned closer to my already leaning face. The muscles in my face scrunch up in repulsion as I use force to lean back away from her. Something tells me we've already been in this situation before.

"Don't call me that. It's disgusting." As I back away and start to straighten up she presses the back of my knees with her heels making me lose my balance. I release a yelp as I fall forward to my knees. Her shoulders are the only thing I can cling to as I lose all rationality. Before I can completely understand what she just did she takes the sides of my face with her hands and drags me to her until we're only a breath apart. The proximity is too much. Her fingers dig into my skin as our minds are lost for a moment before once again regarding each other. When I'm back to reality I try to pull back.

"Let me go-"

"𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚒𝚜 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛 𝚖𝚘𝚝𝚑𝚎𝚛, (𝚈/𝙽)?" Her words were sinister. Her face overshadowed mine while she looked for a semblance of whatever it was that she was looking for. My heart stills and then continues pumping blood in a relaxed manner. Suddenly a wave of calmness overtakes me before a grin appears on my face. I let out a small chuckle and answered.

"Burning in the fiery pits of hell." I end with a laugh. M3GAN looks... confused... I don't dwell on it and instead use that moment of confusion to push away from her tight grip. Her feet and her hands fall back to their sides as I stand up in a cocky manner. I face away from her and start walking towards the door. Just before I close it behind me, I say:

"Oh, and one last thing. Whatever happened last night... Don't do it again or I swear on my name... I will dismantle you." I close the door with a click and leave M3GAN to charge.

--------------------------------------

The days pass. I'm more bored as life goes on. I'm stuck in this house with nothing to do. The house is clean, lunch is made, and every interesting Netflix show has already been seen. I lay on my bed and look at the ceiling. M3GAN has continued calling me 'kitten' whenever she feels like it, but something tells me there wasn't a repeat of that night which is reassuring.

I get up from my bed with a new resolution.

Okay, that's enough moping around.

I change into some outdoor clothes. Nothing too fancy just something to not make me look like a social reject once I take a few steps out of the house. I put on some blue jeans and a random shirt. On top of that, I put on a white sweater because it's not exactly warm outside. Then I get my wallet which is filled with Gemma's 'allowance' and my phone. I stride through the hall where I'm ready to descend down the stairs, but I meet M3GAN there.

"𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚊𝚛𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞 𝚐𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐?" She asked and I ignored her. I pass her without giving her so much as a glance and walk towards Gemma who was sitting in the living room with a laptop on her lap. She looked up from it when she heard approaching footsteps and smiled when she saw that it was me.
