"I'm so tired" I groan dragging my large white and grey five foot tall bear on the floor. His name is Barry or bear-y. I drop him on the couch and look at Aiden who is also holding a bunch of stuffed animals I made him win. He has a talent in carnival games so why not put it to good use.
"You're tired? I had to win over eight over grown animals why you walked around shopping for candy. I also had to bring them in. I am tired. I should get a reward." he mumbles the last part glaring at me before going back to the car to bring in bags of candy and chips.
"Sit here while I go help daddy." I walk behind Leo to the kitchen. He drops the bags.I point at some bags of gummies.
"Those go into the second cupboards top shelf. The candy corn oreos into the third." I say popping a grape into my mouth. He freezes.
"Aren't you going to help me?" He asks pointing at the things.
"I am helping"
"Lazy bitch" he mumbles.
"Hey not infront of them!" I yell at him pointing at the stuffed animals who have now fallen face flat. I grab my phone and see a notification that I got a message. I tap on it and Aiden's name pops up.
You looked good today. I
Really love the kitten ears. Why
Don't u dress like that for me?
I stop breathing, my phone drops from my hand into the floor as I stand there frozen. I stare into space scared and surprise, not until I feel Leo presence beside me. I look at him eye wide and gaping like a fish staring at my phone in his hands. His hands clench around my phone almost cracking it before he slams in onto the counter.
"I'm going to kill him." Leo growls, eyes darkening. I turn towards him.
"No you won't." he walks away from me grabbing a set of keys from the table and walking to one of the locked cupboards in the kitchen. He opens them and they are full of guns. So many guns. Guns that will make hunters or the SWAT team jealous. I stare in shock .
"What are those doing in the kitchen?" I shreak.
"Security purposes" he says cocking a 9 millimeter. He walks past me and pulls out a hidden briefcase from the corner.
"Oh so what? Is the burglar going to steal your Nutella or maybe the whips?!" I exclaim. He pops the case open and in it are gloves Google's, binoculars basically a whole spying kit and a mini surgical kit.
I think my best friend is a serial killer. Or a psychopath. Probably both.
"Can you just calm down at least" I say trying to grab the gun.
"Oh I'll be calm...when he's 6 feet under. I'm out." I march infront of him blocking his path.
"If you walk out that door you'll never see me again for two reasons. One I'm going to turn you in I don't give a shit if you have the best lawyer in the state and two I can not spend my life with a murderer. You can be a psychopath but not a murderer."
"I won't kill him. Just warn him by putting a couple of bullets in his body. Now will you move." He asks calmly like this isn't his first time shooting a person.
Maybe it isn't.
I grab a frying pan and a spatula pointing them at him.
"If you walk out that door I'll smack you with this pan till your teeth fall out and set that red dungeon on fire" I threaten.
"First of all you won't dare hit me. Second I'm rich I can rebuild that room in days and equip them with way better things." He scoffs.
"Please just let it go. I'll get a restraining order against him" he laughs.
"Oh yeah because a flimsy piece of paper is meant to keep a psychopath away from you!" he yells out loud making me take a step back. Ruby comes out of nowhere standing in front of me barking and growling at Leo who stares at her unamused. He rolls his eyes carelessly tossing the gun away and storming past me. Ruby settles down and starts rubbing up on me whining. I sit on the floor petting her and running my fingers through her fur. She lays on my laps and closes her eyes ears still up and alert scanning for any threat.
...............
I lay in bed hugging Barry who has taken up almost half of the bad space. I think he needs to loose some weight. I sigh and reach for my phone just to realize I left it on the kitchen counter. I look around my bright room. All the lights are turned off but the glow in the dark stars,a blue larva lamp and fairy lights gives the room a little light.
I close my eyes and try going to sleep. After minutes of tossing turning and rolling around and half way into dream Land. The door to my room creaks open a little allowing a little bit of light from the hallway to come into my room, my body tense as I hold my breath scared about who it might be. Aiden's name rings through my head like loud church bells. The door closes and I catch a glimpse of blue eyes. I relax a bit and close my eyes still not sure why he's in my room.
The mattress shifts as he gets under the covers with me.
"I know you are awake." he says shifting about to get comfortable.
"So?" I turn around to face him.
"I'm sorry.... I was just mad. The guy was stalking you and all you want to get is a restraining order and I can't shoot him. He's crazy " I don't say anything just stare.
"Barry says you're an asshole" I say out of the blue. He furrows his brows in confusion and slight annoyance.
"Who the hell is Barry this time?"
"Him" i point at the bear who is now hanging off the bed probably trying to avoid this awkward conversation.
"Oh. What if the others. You named them yet?" I nod at the others at the corner.
"Not all. The turtle is spike, the wolf is Asher cuz his ash, the giraffe is JoJo the rest are still to be named. Which reminds me I have to keep Ruby out before she kills them all" I say out loud.
"Speaking of Ruby is she still going to attack me?" He asks nervously.
"Yes. She will bite your dick off , rip you to pieces and use your bones as chew toys" I reply bluntly turning away. He shivers a little and squirms a bit, uncomfortable with the taught
"Can I hold you?"
"When do you ever ask for permission to hold me?" He doesn't reply and wraps his arms around me.
"Good night."
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
"Can I have an Iced White chocolate mocha?" I ask the guy behind the counter at Starbucks.
"Sure thing sweet cheeks" he winks at me.
Leo finally gave me permission to leave the house but of course with an escort. After yesterday he had been a little worried he even gave me a gun as a 'gift of protection'. I roll my eyes when I see my so-called escort flirting with some college chicks. Max starts flexing his muscles making them giggle and reach out to touch them.
I grab my order when it's called receiving another wink from the guy. I smile at him and go to my seat pulling out my laptop.
Leo also gave me permission to order anything and I mean ANYTHING so I that means one thing.
Shopping spree!.
I look at my cup about to take a sip and see some numbers scribbled on it. I ignore it going back on Amazon.
"For you" a girl drops a double chocolate chunk brownie on my table. My favorite.
"I didn't order this" I smile.
Just take it idiot.
"I know. Someone else did and they left a note." I shrug and grab the note and a brownie. Maybe it's the guy that gave my order. I take a bite and open the note.
You always order this when we come here so why not give you a treat to keep the memory alive. Just know I'm always watching and you are mine,you've always been mine:-). I love you.
- A♡
I choke on the brownie going into a cough fit tears gathering in my eyes. I throw the card, shut my laptop down and race out of the cafe but not before grabbing the brownie. Don't judge the food. It didn't do anything.
I race to the car and pull open the door tears still rolling down.
"Take me to Leo's office please" I tell the driver- Albert who looks at confused.
"Miss what's wrong?" He asks worried.
"Just drive!Please." I plea shakily looking out the window for him.
"What of Max?"
"He'll find a way home"
With that we took off to Leo's company.
•••••••••••••••
I rush into the building ignoring the stares and calls. I push the button to the top floor several times till it finally closes. The ride to his office seems longer than usual and my breath shorter like I'm having a panic attack.
The elevator dings open and I rush to Leo's office barging in expecting to see him at his desk but the place is empty. I distract myself by going to the bar in his office. I mix myself a rum and coke and drown it down.
Not feeling the immediate effect I throw the glass away and grab a bottle of some expensive looking alcohol. I don't bother looking at the name , just pop it open and start chugging on it.
Minutes later Leo walks in with some people behind him.
"He followed me. He's going to kill me" I say shakily just staring at him. His eyes darken and he releases something in-between a growl and a roar from the back of his throat. He quickly dismisses the people behind him and storms towards me wrapping his arms around me when he reaches.
"We are going to the police but first let's sober you up, ok?" I don't answer just follow him to the restroom. He hands me a toothbrush and leaves me to do my business.
I stare at my reflection; skin pale, cheeks have lost their rosy color ,my hair looks dry basically I look lifeless. I walk out of the restroom to his office where he stands all suited up. He grabs my belongings and we walk hand in hand out of his office.
•••••••••••••
"What do you mean you can't arrest him?!" Leo roars in anger pacing around the office. I sit there silently staring at the frightened cop who's busy watching Leo's stomping frame.
"I-i'm sorry sir. He doesn't seem to be a threat to anyone. He hasn't harmed anyone so far. I suggest a restraining order?" He shakes shrinking back into his seat.l when Leo glares at him.
"I told you" I mutter silently but he hears shifting his glare to me.
" A restraining order is useless! It's like keep a whole turkey infront of a dog and keeping a don't touch sign next to it. It won't fucking listen!" he yells slamming his hands on the desk.
I think I heard a crack. I'm a turkey now
"You know what if, I shoot someone it's going to be your fault because you dumb fuck can't capture one obsessed asshole psychopath!" He grabs my arm and hauls me out of the chair. I wave at the office currently speechless and....... crying?
"You are no longer allowed out of the house without an escort. Also where the fuck is Maxwell!?"
Help me Lord
