The Silver-Gold Reaper

Chapter 14

"You! Hurry up, so we could take off already! We don't have all day, Leech!" I snapped.
I turned and looked at the cashier, who was giving me a sneer as she looked me over.
We glared at each other and I walked over to the chocolate rack and grabbed some Almond Joy, Snickers, Kit Kat, Baby Ruth, Reese's, and Payday. I turned around and walked back to the cash register, where Bones stood waiting for me and the slutty cashier was making eyes at him. I couldn't help the satisfaction I felt that he ignored her in favor of watching me. I put my purchases on the counter with his things and let him pay for it.

The slut smiled at him and ran her disgusting hands up his arm as she leaned forward to display her fake tits, which, by the way, were not so on display when I first walked in.

"You know if I were your girlfriend, I would never talk to you so horribly," she said with a too sweet smile.

I shoved Bones away and got in her face and smiled, viciously.

"If you were his girlfriend, he'd have an STD. Especially, with the men you fucked. Sluts belong in a whore house. I could give you directions."

She glared and I let power seep out of my pores to fill the air.
She looked away, her human instincts warning her off from a threat. Subconsciously, telling her that she was fucking with a predator.

She quickly bagged the food and cashed the check.

We walked out of the store and back to the car all the while Bones was staring at me. When we got in the car is when I noticed how big the bag was.

I frowned, "Damn, did you buy the whole store?"

I put the bag in my lap and looked through it all. There was a bunch of cold drinks, that I didn't mind, and a bunch of junk food. Again, I didn't mind.

"I didn't know what you liked," he said and shrugged.

I stared at him while I felt my heart swell.

"These are for me?" I asked, blushing and smiling a little shyly.

His jaw dropped an inch. I mentally shook my head and glared at him, trying to cover that embarrassing moment.

"Their was no need," I snapped and threw the bag at him and started driving away from the station.

He huffed and looked out the window as he mocked me, quietly.

"Oh, thanks so much, Bones. You're so considerate after all I didn't eat this morning and I was hungry," he mimicked me. I did not sound like that and I wasn't sure if I should be annoyed.

"No problem, Calico, what are partners for?" he spoke for himself.

"You are so thoughtful, Bones, where have you been all my life?" he interlaced his finger held it to his cheek and batted his eyes, "You just get me so much. Sigh."

 I snickered and giggled, I had turned to stare at him, still not sure if I should be offended, but when he actually said  'sigh' instead of doing the action I couldn't help but, find it funny. 

He looked at me in surprise and I quickly turned back to the road, biting my lip. I tried to put a hard mask back on my face, but it was no use. I could feel the warmth in my cheeks and the twinkle in my eyes. It had been a long time since I laughed. A real laugh. Not a cold fake one that I do to mock my kills.

Every time I laughed it made me feel lighter. Happier. I always enjoyed being happy since I had never been happy until I met Winnie. Winnie, who can't laugh anymore. I sobered up.

The air filled with a tense silence once again.

"So," he said, "what was that back at the store?"

"What?" I frowned in confusion.

"Someone seemed a little jealous."

"I don't know why she was," I said, deciding to play dumb, "you're a leech."

"I was talking about you."

"I wasn't jealous," It was kind of the truth. I was being territorial, not jealous, there's a difference.

"Don't worry, I like you better," he said, out of the blue. I made a strangled sound, but didn't comment.

"Weren't you laughing just a while ago?"

No comment.

"Now, you're all Ice Queen again."

No comment.

. . . . . "Are you on your period?" he asked.

I looked at him and blinked in confusion, "What?"

"Are. You. On. Your. Period?"

I ignored the fact that he spoke to me like I was a child.

"Period?" I repeated, dumbly.

"Yes, are you on it?"

I was beyond confused.

"A- a dot? Why would I have a dot? Why would I be on a dot?" I asked.

He stared at me, "You're kidding, right?"

"No."

"I'm talking about your cycle. Your monthly. Mother nature. Process of becoming a woman. A woman's curse and a guy's cock-blocker.The baby starter."

I blinked at him and looked back at the road.

"Didn't your Mom teach you anything?"

I turned a glare on him and bared my teeth.

"She. Isn't. My. Mother." I spoke slowly and precisely.

"A period is the monthly process, that woman have, to prepare them for pregnancy."

I shook my head, not understanding.

"It cleans out the bad blood in the woman's system."

I shook my head again.

"Blood comes out of your vagina."

"Oh, god! That is gross! What the hell?!" I said in disgust, "No, I don't have those."

He narrowed his eyes at me and then, shrugged, "I guess if you were, I would be able to smell it."

"That is so nasty," I grimaced.

"How long until we get to Chesterfield?"

I didn't say anything and pulled into a driveway.

"We're here," I said and got out of the car and went to the porch.

I heard him follow after me and I was impatient to get this problem solved so I could toss the leech and take off.

At the same time, though, I was really sad that I wanted to kill him.
