Shadow (discontinued)

nine.

"You want to take care... of me?" I questioned. Yaz blushed and looked up at me nervously through her eyelashes. Gosh she's so cute I just wonder how I got blessed with her in my life.

you kidnapped her...

oh yeah.

"I need some things from you though Lee" she states. I sit up in the bed and nod my head, signifying her to tell me what.

She sits down next to me and the bed dips. "I don't want to ever see the basement again, I don't want to eat on the floor, I want my own room and I want you to stop hitting me and calling me baby!" She slightly shouted. That escalated quickly. I feel the voice in my head trying to seep out but I won't let it.

Just calm down. Please we don't wanna go off, we're trying to make things right.

I close my eyes, take a deep breath and find my inner peace. I open my eyes to find Yaz staring at me intently with her arms crossed.

"i just need to take everything slow.  Give me a chance to catch up...ok ? Deal or no deal Lee?" She questions. I contemplate the thought. Can I really control my anger ? Can I keep the voice to a minimum ? Can I actually be nice ?

"I'll try. I can't make any promises baby" I state. She squints her eyes at me and I realize my mistake. "I meant Yaz" I say with a wink.

"Alright then! I'm hungry so I'm going to cook but you need to go out and get some more cutlery and plates and bowls because a fork and a spoon and oatmeal isn't going to work. We need more food too" She stated.

I can't go to a grocery store and get all that by myself, the anxiety is way too much. What if I break a bowl accidentally and then everybody starts looking at me with the what the hell look. Nah, I ain't goin for it.

"If I'm going you going too" I say. She whips around and looks at me like I'm a mad man.

"Lee how can I go ? I'm traveling the world remember ? Plus I'm a kidnapping victim!" She says in a 'duh' tone.

"Yes but you can dress up so you won't have to show your face. I have a cover up hoodie Yaz"

"Oh ok. Well um sure. I won't try and run" She assures me. I nod my head.

"I hope you know better than that"

***

"Ok go get another buggy because this one is full" I say. Me and Lee have been in this grocery store for well over an hour getting food. I filled up two buggy's already and I just need one more.

"Ok. Stay here"

I nod my head and she disappears to the other side of the store.

I tighten my hoodie on my head and stroll into the section with cutlery and dishes and shit like that. This hoodie hot as shit. Got my head sweating and shit.

I pick out these really nice burgundy and navy blue plates sets complete with bowls to match. I feel so fye right now. I think Lee will like these.

Today has been really good. She hasn't yelled at me, hit me or even cursed at me. She's been so nice and if this continues, I'll keep my attitude under control.

She proposed a deal to me. Give her 6 months to make me fall in love with her and if I don't, then I get to leave. Well shit ima fake it till I make it because I honestly don't want to be here with her. She snatched me from my normal life and hurt me. Even broke my knee. I can't forgive that. I'll give it a chance..possibly.

Nah fuck that. When the 6 months come, I'm out!

"Oh Yaz these plates are pretty. I see you got a little taste" Lee said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes at her until it hurt and continued strolling down the aisle.

I felt her presence behind me. "Keep on rolling yo eyes and see what the fuck I do to you" She whispered deeply in my ear. I froze and shivered a little.

I turned my head and stared at her for a split second and she winked and walked ahead of me. Dusty ho.

She picked out the cutlery then we checked out and started filling up the car with groceries. There was so many and I'm lazy so I made Lee do it until the carts were empty. I took them to the drop off thing and started walking back to the car.

"Ma'am! You left your water on the buggy!" Some man said. Shit! Fuck! What do I do ?

I turned around slowly then muttered a 'thank you' and quickly retreated to the car.

"Wait! You look familiar!" He said and I turned around to see him jogging to the car.

I yanked the door open. "Lee pull off!" I yelled. She looked at me, clearly confused. I grabbed the clutch and I put the car in reverse. "PULL OFF LEE! That guy wants to talk to me!" I yelled irritated. She immediately backed out and drove off the lot. I turned around and saw the guy taking a picture or something. Probably of the license plate.

"Shit! He saw how you looked?" Lee asked me. I shook my head, lying blatantly. I didn't want her to worry herself to death.

"Alright then we should be good" She said calmy. She checked her rear view mirror and stepped on the gas harder, getting us home faster.

***

1 month later...

Everything is going great with Lee. She hasn't hit me at all. Well she kinda choked me out but I was talking shit. Ehh.

I think I'm starting to like her. I let her call me baby now. Sometiems. She doesn't push her limits though.

She's at work right now so I decided to cook for her. Now that I'm cooking she stopped eating oatmeal. She doesn't even like it anymore.

I made rosemary lamb chops, bacon and cheese baked potatoes with spinach. Strawberry cheesecake for dessert. I should make something to drink. Lemonade ?

No we'll drink water.

"Baby!" Lee yelled. Her tone scared me.

She walked into the kitchen and gave  me a smile that warmed my heart.

She licked her lips. "Damn what smells good ?" She rubbed her hands.

She eyes the food and we made plates. It was so good. I can cook fr.

"Soo.. we been getting closer and things..and I want to take you out. If that's okay with you ?" Lee says nervously.

"Umm..yes. Sure" I say. She nods her head and smiles then continues eating her food.

Hopefully this will be good.
