Pistanthrophobia

Chapter 3

•·.·4 days later, Madeleine's POV·.·•

I noticed that Espresso hasn't left their house in a couple of days

'Is it because they opened up a bit?'

I sighed

Then I got an idea

'I see them at the bakery a lot. They seem to love getting sugarcoated donuts! I can just order some sugarcoated donuts and a cup of coffee, then I'll go to their house and give it to them! This may also help with breaking them out of their shell'

I smiled and went to the bakery

I ordered some sugarcoated donuts and a cup of black coffee, then I went to Espresso's house when I got the order

•·.·Espresso's POV·.·•

I was still getting over my panic attack when I heard a knock on my door

"Go away" I said

"Espresso, I have sugarcoated donuts and some coffee!" I heard Madeleine say

"Fuck off. It's all a trick"

"No it's not. I promise"

'Everyone makes promises.. But they always break them'

"Yeah yeah everyone says that" I said

"I actually mean it. Espresso please trust me" Madeleine said

'Trust.. What a weird concept..'

"No" I said

"Alright. I won't push you anymore. The stuff will be at your doorstep. I hope you enjoy it" Madeleine said

Then I heard him leave

I thought for a bit, then I decided to open the door

When I opened it, there was a cardboard box and a cup

'Guess he wasn't lying..'

I took the stuff then quickly closed my door and locked it

I opened the box and took a bite out of a donut

I slightly smiled at the taste, then I sipped on the coffee

'This is pretty good'

•·.·Madeleine's POV·.·•

'I wonder if they ended up taking the donuts and coffee'

I decided to just check if they actually took it

When I got to their house, I noticed that the stuff was gone

I smiled

'I wonder what else I can do to make them trust me..'

'Hm. I could continue to bring them stuff.. Hopefully they'll warm up to me'

I walked away from Espresso's house just in case they see me and think I'm stalking them
