The evil shadow (Despicable me x reader)

28. A night alone...with him

The next night, I had to babysit the girls. Meanwhile, Gru received the letter of his uncomfortable visit. Of course, this letter was made up by me, informing him that I will come over in two days. The authorities are something you shouldn't mess with and Gru knows that. His face was pale, as he reads the name Miss Hattie. "This is worse than I thought" he said to himself, hiding the letter. His girls would freak out if they knew.

Gru decided to talk with Lucy about it, calling her from outside the house. At this point, he was pleased to have me as a babysitter. His brother is too much of a child himself, that he wouldn't leave the four alone. In the afternoon, he wanted to visit someone he rather not meet again, but since it is about shadow, he used all his courage to go.

Neither courage or strength was that I had just now. My night was rubbish! One nightmare after another haunted me and my mind won't give it a rest, constantly thinking about the news. Even that one moment, were my eyes have closed for five minutes, a phone call made me jump. Falling off the bed was really giving me the rest.

Ring!!!!

"In a minute!"

Ring!!!!

"Oh man!" At the fourth ring, I picked up, "N/A speaking."

"Where you busy?" came Gru's voice from the other side of the phone.

"Very. What is it?"

"I need you for tonight, are you free?"

Oh noooo.
"You need an answer now?"

"If possible."

"Just wait for a minute", placing the phone aside, I screamed into my pillow. The quick tantrum was pretty refreshing, as I got back to Gru, " No problem, I will be there."

"Great, thank you."

Click!

Bratt and Vector moved aside, as I came down the corridor, cruising under my breath. Eduardo and the Overkills were still asleep, not hearing it. For the rest of the day, they all stayed out of my way. Just one of them dared to ask me a question during breakfast. It was evil Bratt, hesitating with the words. I sighted frustrated, "Make it quick Bratt."

That was his cue to speak, "Could we sabotage the girls again at school?"

I ribbed the bridge of my nose, "And why do you want to do that?"

"To make it worse."

"Worse you say", this sounds good to my ears, "Very well, but don't overdo it. Report to me when you are done."

"Roger!"

The loud noise wasn't health to my headache though. Annoyed and in pain, I screamed at him to get lost. Somehow, I have to survive this night...with that idiot of a brother. With a few painkillers, I went back to bed till then, going to stay awake.

It was worse than any horror movie, standing before the black house. I regret it immediately, as I knocked on the door. The one who opened it was no other than Dru. His greet was as terrible as Bratt's salute, "N/A, you came!"

"Obviously" I said, in a more bored expression. He moved aside and waited till I was inside. His sudden move on grabbing my shoulder made me jump.

"May In have your coat?"

"I can do this myself, thank you."

Dru's cheery smile weakened, "I am just trying to be a gentleman."

I clicked my tongue, "How about respecting my privacy for once, that will do." Placing my coat on the hanger, I left him alone and headed towards the living room. Gru was on the floor, sorting out his magazines, the 'Evilmags'. He waved at me to come forward, "Ah N\A, welcome."

Unfortunately, I wasn't as pleased to be here, "Is there a reason why I should come an hour early?"

Gru nodded, "Yes, you met Dru have you? He will be around, in case you need help. I thought you might want to get to know each other." Lime the previous night wasn't enough, I thought. "Sure, I could use an umbrella this time." Gru sighted, "Don't to anything I might regret." Too late, you already did, I thought and went back to the smiling something. Dru held me a leaflet of the local pizza store "pizza?"

"No, can we get something else?"

He thought for a minutes, "Spaghetti?"

"Sounds good."

His next words startled me, "Okay, tonight is my treat."

Gru was beyond that, completely shocked by his brother generous treat. It got more of a surprise, as the delivery boy had more than just the meals. Chocolate, champagne and many other sweets. This got Gru curious, he had to ask his brother about it. He was at the door, taking the food, "Dru?"

"Yes brother?"

Gru helped him with the meals, "Don't you think you overdo it a little?"

"Why? Spaghetti for us, sweets for the girls."

"And the chocolate and champagne?"

Dru's suddenly smiled uncomfortable, "You noticed?"

"What are you up to?"

"Nothing, I swear." Dru is a really terrible liar, his brother was fully aware of his intention, but he wanted to hear it from him.

"Dru, I told you to give it time, with that you might frighten her off."

"Don't worry, I have it all under control."

I don't like the sound of that, thought Gru, hoping that I will set him straight with words...and not with another bottle over his head. He grabbed his car keys and left him with me alone. Dru took his chance to get into a conversation, only to find me on the phone. Bratt was looking forward, from another attempt to ruin the girls school day. Knowing that Dru was listening, I changed my choice of words, "Hi honey. I always got time for you..." For Bratt a clear sing that someone was listening, playing along. For Dru was it a slap in the face, his heart suddenly hurts and began not to feel too well.

"I have to darling. See you later." I turned on my heel and stared at Blondie, "Is something?"

His voice was weak, "Food..the food is here."

I ignored it though, "Yay, let's eat. I vet the plates and you wait in the living room. With a weak nod, he left the kitchen. Dru couldn't believe that I was already taken. I was the first girl he ever felt for...and this was the reason he doesn't want to give me up.

With new hopes, he couldn't wait to spend the night with me, "I can do it!"
