I can only look at my phone in shock. What was I supposed to tell him, that I gave a man I met at the store my number just because he was nice to me? Especially when I have a boyfriend. Especially since he's a total stranger and that the only thing I know is his name? That would sound crazy, which now that I think about it, it is!
But, the only thing I could tell him was simple. I had to confess, and tell him the truth. Like what I should have done when we were already on that topic, and when he wasn't as angry as he is now.
"Dallace, I-Im sorry." I say.
Yes, I did say I was going to confess, but that's all that came out. Dallace looked at me, he didn't seem to look angry, but I just know he is. The only thing he did was stare at me, I'm not sure if he was waiting for me to say more. Which I, myself, was looking for the right words to say.
"Is that all you have to say?" Dallace states firmly, his gaze seemed disappointed for a split second, then returned to it's serious form.
"No..." I manage to say without bawling right then and there.
Why was I so stupid!? Just tell him the truth! I look absolutely guilty right now. Which I am, I so very am. I look as if i've cheated on him. What is wrong with me? I'm really about to cry? While Dallace is acting mature and serious about this whole situation? He's even giving me a chance to speak and I can't?? I really couldn't be any more pathetic.
"Then tell me, who the fuck is Newton?" Dallace raises his voice slightly.
"He-he's the guy from the store. But please, I-I didn't know he'd-" I start.
"Don't tell me what you thought he'd do. Tell me why he has your number. Tell me why this, guy, has been spamming your phone with messages since one in the morning!" Dallace yells, not containing his calm demeanor anymore.
What was happening? Usually I always knew what to say. I'm always so calm, but now... I'm just lost for words, and I don't know why.
"Just listen to me okay? I'll tell you everything. Just please, listen to me." I say, trying hard to not stutter.
"I'm listening." Dallace says, his firm and calm voice returning once again.
I explain everything to him, down to every single thing we said to each other. To what I had thought about Newton when debating whether or not to give him my number. How weird of a feeling I got from him, hoping he'd put himself into my shoes.
I know I had made a mistake, a big one at that. There was no doubt about it, but I hated seeing Dallace like this. Stern and harsh, even though he has a valid reason to act this way. It still ached to see him this way. My foolish and utter impulsiveness made him act as so, and I could never hate myself more for it.
Dallace hadn't said anything in minutes. He had only been starting at me deeply. I assume he was thinking, hopefully as I had thought before, putting himself in my shoes. But the silence was so deafening, too deafening to say the least.
"Dallace I know I messed up. I really do, and I'm so terribly sorry. No words could ever express it. And I'm not trying to say this to make myself look better but I wasn't thinking and what I'm telling you is the absolute truth. I didn't see through him as I do with everyone else, I should have known you'd be mad. I should have thought more about it, I really didn't know he'd contact me so late. So please just please forgive me. I'll block him, avoid him at all costs if it'll mean that you won't be angry with me anymore." I scramble at my words, speaking quickly and panicky.
More silence comes from him, nothing but silence. It was so very uncomfortable. At this point I'm just internally freaking out, repeating what I had said over and over. Making sure I didn't say anything to make him any more upset than he already was.
"N/N, how did he know what kind of bread you were looking for?" Dallace says.
"...What?" I ask, obviously stunned by his question.
What was he asking? Did he really just listen to me say all those heartfelt things then simply ignore it and ask how Newton would know I was looking for a kind of bread?
"Where exactly were you looking for that bread at?" Dallace asks unfazed.
"Uhm... the bread section?" I say, still confused.
"Tell me, very specifically, how you searched for the bread before Newton showed up."
"Uhm, okay... Well, when I had looked at the spot of where it were to usually be placed it was empty. So I looked for it on those same shelves. Then I looked on the opposite side, hoping it was there, which it wasn't. Then Newton appeared."
"Did you see Newton when you entered the isle?"
"Erm... no, it was empty."
"Did you ever feel or see Newton looking at you at all?"
"Well, a tiny bit before I heard footsteps coming towards me. I also saw uhm, a figure in the corner of my eye at that same time. I assume it was him I suppose."
"Y/N."
"...Are you still mad?"
"Of course not, go to sleep now alright?"
"Okay..."
I lay back down without another word. Dallace had a warm smile on his face, the same smile he always did when he would look at me. Did he really forgive me that fast? But why?

Dallace's POV
| —— —— —— —— |My precious Y/N was, just as I had anticipated, not another liar like the rest. Not that I excepted anything less of my darling anyway. I knew she would never. I was heartbroken to see her face at my acting. I couldn't help but snuggle into her as soon as she laid down as a apology. I didn't want to scare my darling but it had to be done.
I could never leave Y/N alone. Not with a filthy place like this. Filled with disgusting and inhumane people. Letting her out of the house was just one of the many nice things I will allow of her. Even more of a thank you for being such a precious darling and taking me in as her own.
Of course this kind gesture of hers comes with some benefits of mine. Such as giving her my upmost attention and love. And of course, following her to ensure her safety. She would understand these necessary measures, I mean who wouldn't? I have nothing but good intentions.
I have noticed some... things recently. Things that I find unpleasant. Like how my darling is so beautiful and stunning, that she attracts disgraceful and childish boys to look her way. My darling has no control over her own beauty so I don't blame her. I could never blame my darling for such a thing. After all, Y/N is always perfect.
Speaking of which, Newton has gotten a bit... close with my darling. At first, I was trying to contain myself as Y/N had instructed. So, I let Newton live. But now... now he was most definitely, crossing the line. I know I should always listen to my precious.
But a little surprise for Newton wouldn't hurt my darling.
