(Chapter 3)(store)

I woke with my hat on my face .
Savannah was gone what the hell!
Then I heard clatter in the kitchen, kolby was up. He was making him and Savannah some waffles. She was sitting on the counter. She had to have been picked up to be put up on the counter but when I had tried to pick her up last night she almost busted my ear drums.
Then kolby set her plate on the table. He let her put her arms around his neck and he warped his arm around the back of her legs instead of under her butt; like you normally would a kid.
He set her in her chair at the table. He let her eat. "What the hell she tried to make me suffer permanent hearing loss when I tried to pick her up. " I say.
"You didn't pick her up right B". He says. "What do u mean ?" I ask. "You tried to put your arm up under her butt, you can't do that , that's a bad place for her." Kolby says.
"What do you mean bad place ?" I ask.
"She has sensitive places". He says. He was talking in a low enough tone so that Savannah would pay us no mind.
"Sensitive ?" I asked. "Like she's been raped or something ?" I ask. "Yes she's been raped which makes her cry when you try to get near her or pick her up like that ." He says. "Why does she trust you". I asked.
"She doesn't , I just keep my hands cautious of where they land on her." He says. I nodded. I sighed .
"Well, I gotta go to the store". I say. "Vannah you what to go to the store with me". I asked her. "Is there candy at the store?" She asked. "Yeah". I say .
"Okay I go". She says.

I drove to the store with her in the back seat . We were there and she climbed outta the truck.
I took her hand. She had to reach for my hand pretty good.
She was a bit short, then again she was 5.

We were in the store now and I grabbed a cart.
She hurried after me. "Come here baby how bout we put you up in the buggy ". I say . I leaned down and she wrapped her arms around my neck and I wrapped my arm around the back of her knees. I put her in front of the cart.
I went and got the groceries.
My phone vibrated while I was in line and I answered . It was my girlfriend who was coming home this weekend from her parents . And as I was on the phone savannah snuck some candy onto the counter belt to be scanned. I gave her a look and she giggled.
