Bill is driving his expensive car away from the city towards his house. It is a long drive. He has picked the furthest place from the city, he could find and like at the same time. It isn't at any way easy to find something he likes because his tastes are so specific. He wants a warm house with a garden, silent with no cars passing by nor houses near by. He wants three floors and a private church. He wants a lot and nothing he had searched for fulfilled his demands. So he built it on his own. It took a summer for it to be finished but now it isn't only a house to him but a home.
As he is driving through the tall dark forest he turns his eyes to look at the beautiful creature who is sleeping in the sit beside him.Her head on the window, curls everywhere, but he could still see a glimpse of her face. Furrowed eyebrows and a slightly open mouth, little puffs of breaths leaving her pretty lips. He wonders what she is dreaming about, what makes her so uneasy. Maybe she is dreaming about the reason she left her house or something that happened back in her childhood but she never succeeded on letting it go. He could never know. He focuses his eyes on the empty street to see that they have finally arrived to his house. As he drives through the gates and parks in his usual spot Andromeda wakes up, yawning and leaving a cute soft noise while rubbing her eyes. He observes her not knowing why she intrigues him so much. Her sleepy brown orbs turn to his blue ones and for some minutes they just stand there watching the stars through each other eyes.
"Hey flower before we go inside I have to tell you something."
She doesn't focus on the pet name but more on his nervous voice. What could he have in there? Dead bodies? Rooms full of cocaine and guns? She turns worried and for the first time since they left the streets she is afraid, really afraid. She could step inside that house and get killed or even worse. She doesn't know what that man is capable of. He sees the worry in her eyes, little droplets of tears framing her beautiful eyes and he just can't handle it.
"It's a dog, I have a dog and his hostile with strangers, I wanted to tell you so you wouldn't be afraid. That's it."
Her worry disappears and a smile takes over her face. She suddenly walks out of the car and eagerly runs to the front door. She loves animals but her parents never let her have one. Bill laughs to himself and steps out of the car. He can see the excitement in her eyes and he stools because he doesn't want her to be disappointed when he opens the door and Pennywise don't let her pet him. He walks slowly to her and he can feel her eyes scanning him. He smirks, he knows he was an effect on her and that boosts his confidence even more. Maybe he can never have her as his but at least he likes seeing her all flustered with rosy cheeks just for him. He could never have someone like her, she is a beautiful flower and he would only destroy her pureness. He just can't do that. He now stands beside her, her body covered with his coat basically floating in it. He puts the keys inside the lock and he can hear the scratching from behind it. Before he opens it he says to her. "Step behind me." She isn't though. "Please just do what I say." She puts her hand on top of his and slowly opens the door. As soon as she steps inside she has fallen in her knees and Pennywise starts barking like a mad dog. She expands her hand and Pennywise eventually stops barking. He sees his dog slowly sniffing on her hand and stepping forward then he rolls to the floor like a little puppy. You This girl is magical he thinks to himself. Pennywise since he was a puppy never let anyone pet him. But that girl is different even the dog can recognize that. "Petal come on it's late."
"Can I pet him for a little while?" "You need to sleep come on now." Andromeda pouts and stands up following Bill.
"Don't pout sugar please."
She still doesn't answer him so he whistles for Pennywise to follow them.
"What's his name?"
"Pennywise and if you want now that he likes you he can sleep with you tonight." A smile spreads on her face and he swears to himself.
They walk up the staircase but andromeda is too sleepy to pay focus on her surroundings. He walks inside a room on the first floor and waits for the sleepy girl to step inside as well.
"This will be your room, mine is right next to yours. I'll go grab you some of my cloths to sleep on okay?" Before she can answer he is out of the room. The house has a lot of rooms but he wants her close to him. He finds some cloths that will fit her, well not exactly, she's so small and tiny she will be swimming in his cloths but they are better than the destroyed drees she is now wearing. He brings her the white t-shirt and the black boxers and finds her hugging Pennywise, well what her hands could fit.
"Here take them, you can sleep in them and tomorrow we'll buy you some cloths."
"Thank you." She says will yawing. A silence drops and they stand there looking at everything except from each other. Bill isn't good towards anyone and it feels weird , unnatural even for him to treat someone so nicely. So why is he treating her with such kindness he doesn't know,
"Thank you for everything."
"Goodnight."
He leaves the room and Andromeda is so tired that she can't stay a minute awake to think about everything that has happened. Her eyelids close like curtains and she lets the sleep take her away.
