Angels Can Fly

Chapter 8

Skylar P.O.V.

As I drive I take off my bandages around my neck and arms, and after a few minutes I become highly aware of Kayden's eyes on me. My new lines are visible and I hear him growl. I gulp but don't move to cover them. Once I get too uncomfortable with the awkward silence, I reach to turn up the radio and he grabs my arm and gently kisses each of my scars. I stare wide eyed staight at the road and he holds my hand as I keep driving.

When we get to the mall, my stomach grumbles and Kayden laughs and says lightly,
"C'mon, princess. I'll buy you lunch. It'll be our first date."
My heart stops but I have to keep walking because he is still holding onto my hand. I feel so little as I walk beside him and several dirty thoughts cross my mind. I blush furiously and stare down at my feet, almost running into a sign. He walks us to the food court and we go over to Chick-Fil-A. He orders a chicken sandwich for him and a large combo of chicken nuggets and waffle fries for me. He tells me we can share the fries and I nod, still looking down. After we get our food, he gets ketchup and we move to an available table.

He sits down in the chair that faces the most populated part of the food court, but as I move to sit next to him, he shakes his head and points to his lap. I stare at him increduously before giving up and sitting down in his lap, knowing how stubborn he can be. He hands me my nuggets and I eat quietly. He does too, one hand around my waist to make sure I don't fall. Soon, I relax against him and we eat together. Embarrasingly, I giggle when he drops ketchup on his chin.

I slowly slip into little space, where I haven't been in forever. I turn in his lap so that my feet dangle off the side of his legs and point to a nugget, then to his mouth. He opens his mouth and I feed him a nugget, giggling again. I smile up at him and he smiles back. As I finish my nuggets, my eyes start to droop and I yawn.
I look over at my phone to check the time. 1:15 pm. I yawn again and Kayden smiles at me.
"Nap time, little one?"
I shake my head and point to the sign for Hot Topic and he sighs.
"Fine. Let's go. Then I drive us home, okay?"
"Okie, D-". I catch myself just in time.
He looks down and whispers, "You can call me Daddy if you want. You don't have to."
I smile. "Okie Daddy."
He smiles and takes my hand, leading us to Hot Topic.

Once we get there, I run to the cat ears and hold them up for him to see. He smiles.
"Cute, baby."
I find a choker that says 'Cute but Damaged'. He doesn't like it, but I do, so I buy it. It's only $7.
Then we go into Spencers. I find a collar and leash set and he grabs it, quickly buys it then rushes us out.
"Time to go, kitten."
"OKie...Uppies?" I hold up my arms and he picks my up, placing me on his hip. I lay my head against his shoulder, and soon I'm asleep before we even get to the car.
He smiles
