"Roman!" I warned "If I feel your hands grasping my thigh again, be rest assured I'll render you unable to create babies. So, and I say this kindly, back off".

He smirked and lifted his hand from we're they just wandered. "Relax Jacine. I was just messing with you". I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah right".

My phone buzzed from a message I just received. It was Collins.

Cereal_freak: pls can we talk😔

I huffed and replied.

Jacebear: I tld you not to talk to me 🙅

It buzzed again.

Cereal_freak: pls
Cereal_freak: I love you

I sighed, switched off my phone and stuffed it in my pocket. Roman must have noticed my attitude cause he placed his hand on mine and gave it a gentle squeeze. Honestly I was glad he didn't push me for answers but I was also a little miffed he didn't ask what was wrong.

I spotted a nice place to park his car. Just as he was about to enter, a crazy person that had a cherry red car, sped by and parked there.

"Heyy! " Roman protested "that was my space! "

The owner of the car opened the door and stepped out. Two words :

Mrs. McKinney

She grinned like the mad old woman she was and spat on his hood. Which turned Roman into a frenzy. "Who the fuck is this psycho grandma supposed to be? "
I glared at her and clenched my hands.

"My crazy neighbor Mrs McKinney ".

At the sound of her name, she whipped her head towards me and gave me her signature toothy smile. "Now that's no way to talk to a sweet old lady missy. What would your mom say? "

"She'd say go ahead cause she knows how much of a psycho you are granny " I snarled. She hissed at me and wobbled her way towards the entrance. As soon as she turned around, I saw one of her monkey's pop its head out of the bag. It blew me a kiss and popped back in. Roman's jaw dropped.

"Is it just me, or did you see the grinning monkey too? ".

"I saw it too Roman " I huffed "and I think she's up to no good. "

Roman grabbed a trolley and followed me around. We got most of the things I needed and added a few groceries my mom needed.

"Just one last item on my list" I told him "they're my favorite potato chips ever! "

"What're they called? " he asked.

"True Spirit. My favorite flavour is the paprika one. Absolutely foodgasm in my mouth". We walked over to where it was and saw that there was only one paprika remaining. "I might as well just take it " I told Roman and reached out to grab it. Just as I was about to pull it out, another hand grabbed unto it too. I turned to my side. Mrs McKinney.

"Listen her missy, bozo here needs his True Spirit and I'm not leaving here without them. So be a good teenage girl and hand them over to dear old Mrs McKinney. "

I snorted "like I'd ever sacrifice my True Spirit to a monkey named bozo. So why don't you make like the ocean and wave goodbye."

Roman snickered behind me at my comment and doubled over in laughter. Mrs McKinney grinned like the Cheshire cat and said "why don't you show Jacine how much you want those chips bozo? I think she doesn't understand". With that she opened her purse and a tiny monkey flew out and clung to my hair like a leech.

"GET IT OFF ME!!!! GET IT OFF ME!!!! " I screamed. Bozo was twisting my hair in all sorts of directions. He rammed me into the frozen meat section, the clothing section, the dairy section, the toy section. "Oh my God I'm feeling dizzy" I thought and threw up in the electronics section.

"Jacine I'm so sorry about this " Roman said from behind me. "Why" I choked. Then a sharp pain erupted from my head as I fell into the darkness.

"Still so sorry" he said.
