He Could Be The One✔️

Some bugs need squishing

Dom's POV

Before we wend to the park, we decided to go to the grocery store and pick up groceries since we didn't have much food-wise. The minute we entered the store, Mikayla let go of my hand and took off. My heart dropped.

We chased after her, but she was quick. Oh god. You hear about situations where kids disappear in the store with strangers. It was at that moment that I felt like my world collapsed on me.

I searched down the aisles as Kami went to tell an employee Mikayla was missing. God, let her be here.

*******

Mikayla darted around aisles giggling as she bumped into someone. She stopped and took a step back.

"Hello, there, little girl."

She stared at the person.

"Are you here with your mommy and daddy?" They asked.

She looked at them.

"You know, if you want, I can take you to them. I'm sure your parents are quite upset to see you gone," the person said to her.

"You're a stranger," Mikayla said.

"But I'm not," the person said in a calm tone. "I'm your grandmother." She said to her.

"No, you're not," she said back to the woman.

"Sure, I am. I'm your mommy's mom. My name is Vicky," she said, holding out her hand. Mikayla looked at her. "If you come with me, we will go find your mommy and daddy, then I can take you to see a puppy I bought," she smiled.

"Okay," she said as she took Vicky's hand as Vicky led her away.

*******

I was about to lose my shit with this employee before a manager stepped in.

"Is there a problem?" He asked me.

"Our daughter ran off. She's four, with dark curly hair and emerald green eyes. Her name is Mikayla. She's lost." I said quickly, trying to keep my composure. That's all it took, and the manager announced a code.

Then I heard all the doors close and lock. The store went into full fledge lockdown.

All employees stopped and went looking calling Mikayla's name. I ran to find Dom and met up with him as we searched, yelling her name.

"Mikayla!" We both yelled.

"Daddy!"

Her voice seems so far away. As we saw her, that's when we saw her. Vicky was trying to drag her out of the store, but couldn't because the doors locked.

Mikayla struggled as we bolted towards them.

"Stop moving, you brat!"

"Let me go! Daddy! Mommy! Help!"

Dom got there first and grabbed Mikayla, and I was right behind them. Vicky stormed towards them, but I stopped her, hauling off and punching her right in the nose with my ring.

She stumbled back as she grabbed her nose, as blood gushed.

"You bitch! You broke my nose!"

"And I'm going to break it again if you even think about touching her," I yelled.

The police showed up shortly afterward and escorted her out of the store. This situation was insane.

Dom looked at Mikayla, "Why? Why did you do that?"

"I'm sorry, daddy," she started crying.

"Mikayla, you can run off like that. Do you hear me?" He was angry but firm with her.
