BONNIE & CLYDE (Timebomb) [CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN]

I) 2 - "BIRTHDAY GIFT ?"

• October 22nd, 2023 : 11AM...|

The sound of the ringing phone broke the silence in the room as the clumsy blue haired girl answered totally panicking. Sitting in front of the TV, Jinx exaggeratedly exhaled before the scene, lazily throwing a pop corn at the screen. "Thanks for the photos of your bedroom.." a voice spoke as she rolled her eyes totally annoyed by the current events. "Ah, my room ! Uh, it's full of photos of Adrien because—" the sound and visual of the TV quickly shut off as Jinx threw the remote on the screen after making sure to turn it off. "Why would you have pictures of Adrien in your room when you're dating LUKA idiot !" She insulted infuriated.

Jinx soon stood up, making sure to grab her bowl of pop corn with her and made her way to the kitchen where she carefully put her appetiser to eat later. "Stay here poppy, I'll eat you later." She spoke in a gentle voice patting the food before she left the kitchen a small smile on her lips. But this smile soon faded as soon as she remembered that episode of Miraculous she just watched put her in a really bad mood.

Marinette was just « too busy » to pay attention to Luka, and guess who it reminded her of ? Her father ! Walking in loud steps Jinx noisily went to her room and slammed the door, as soon as it had close she dramatically jumped on her king sized bed taking one of her cuddly toys in hands. "I'm glad you give me attention." She whispered staring at her pink haired self made doll. « Vicky » she named it. It was one of the various stuffed toys she needed to sleep, it has been that way since she was a kid.

"I heard the door slamming. What's wrong this time." She jolted when she heard the low voice. Sitting back up, she looked at him moving closer to her as like usual he had entered her room with no noise, almost hiding his presence. She looked up, louring when her eyes met her father's. It was surprising how fast he made it to her room today, new record set. Her attention quickly went back to her doll, totally ignoring his presence. "Jinx." He called.

"Oh, does it look like I want to talk ? My bad, didn't want to give off the wrong impression.." She scoffed in a sarcastic tone while eying him with disdain. She was upset and wanted to show it. In her opinion she had every rights to anyways, her father has been gone for 3 days without even thinking of warning her, and came back home expecting her to welcome him with a smile. He let out a sigh sitting down beside her, Jinx just let out a scoff crossing her arms. She wouldn't look at him, he didn't deserve it.

"Listen butterfly, I had some business out there but now I'm back. Don't make a face, you're prettier when you smile." He teased trying to get her back to her smily self. But she wasn't buying it this time. He dared to forget.

"You don't care about me.." she said holding back tears as her voice unintentionally broke mid sentence. Indeed the bluenette really was really sensitive due to having only one person in her life who most of the time was absent.

"Of course I care Jinx, you're my daughter." He clarified frowning. If there was one single thing he loved in this world that had no interest except for money, it clearly was his daughter, and he couldn't bare the thought to even imagine that she thought he didn't love her or care for her. "Then why did you forget my birthday !" She yelled in an accusing tone, closing her eyes in the process. Here it was, he thought, what was on her mind and truly hurt her. He faintly smiled looking at her before moving his hand to his pocket. From there he took out a rectangle white box which he handed to the most precious person in his eyes.

Noticing it, Jinx tried to discreetly turn her look but curiosity eating her she fully turned and took the box. "What is it ?" She asked confused.

"A gift. A gift for the most beautiful soul in this world. Happy 18th birthday my butterfly..." he wished giving her a kiss on the forehead as she gasped. She right away jumped in his arms totally moved. "You didn't forget about me daddy !" She shared a huge grin as he slowly nodded patting the top of her head. "I would never." He assured. She sat back in place, starting to open the mysterious box to see something unusual in it.
