Little Peach *Completed*

Chapter 23

Master's POV

I couldn't believe my luck when I saw that gormless idiot on the phone outside that had been with my Grace the other day. Thank fuck for tinted windows.

I couldn't help but smile to myself when I saw her exit the store, my eyes looking her up and down. There's my girl...

"Hm they're new..." I think out loud as I notice two other men that I didn't recognise. Curiosity gets the better of me, I know it'd be a risk to try and get her now, but maybe I can follow them and see where they go. I start the car and drive straight past them, pulling into a side street near the only car park on this side of town. Now to wait.

*-*

I didn't have to wait too long for them to walk past, pulling back to park on the main road as I watch them get into their car and drive away. Taking note of the colour and model of the car, I let a couple of other cars get ahead first, and then fall in line, following at a distance.

I'm more than thrilled when I notice them pull into a grocery store car park. Maybe they'll leave her in the car...

However, my excitement at the prospect of getting her back that easily quickly disappeared when I saw her exit the car and walk in with them. I furiously hit the dashboard, pissed that she was so close but I couldn't get to her. I pull closer to their car, my next plan needs some cover.

Now, I'm not going to say I'm crazy, but sometimes if I don't get what I want, things can get a little...out of hand. Unable to control my rage, I unbuckle my belt and reach into the glove box, fumbling around until I find what I was looking for. Stepping out of my car, I swiftly walk around theirs, slashing at each of their tyres, pleased that this dump isn't very busy and definitely can't afford CCTV.

I'm about to get back into my car when I notice bunches of flowers at the front of the shitty store. Perfect.

I head over and pluck out a single pink rose, helping myself to the note cards for the sad saps that want to show affection with pathetic words and flowers. It's ironic that I am writing a card, and that I'm going to leave a flower, but there is nothing affectionate about my intentions. I want her scared, I want her to know how close I was to her today, I want her looking over her shoulder. I want her.

Hobi's POV

"Right what film are we watching?" I ask clapping my hands to get everyone's attention.

"Grace should decide." Jungkook says with a smile.

"Oh, I don't really know what's good...one of you should pick, I really don't mind." She mumbles looking at her hands.

It breaks my heart when she does that, like she doesn't want to say or do the wrong thing, or she's worried she's going to upset someone. I take her hand in mine, giving it a reassuring squeeze, a small smile appearing on her face when she looks at me.

"What about The Greatest Showman? That's fun and easy to watch." Jungkook suggests, his hand reaching for the popcorn bowl.

"That's a good idea, and if Grace doesn't enjoy it, we can always turn it off." Jin approves.

"Hobi?" Whispers Grace shyly.

"Yes sunshine?" I reply.

"Can we cuddle whilst we watch the film? I'm still a little bit upset from earlier..." she mumbles pulling at her sleeves.

Without answering, I lift my arm smiling at her, pulling her close as she cuddles up to me, her head on my chest, arm across my waist. Her position complete when Jimin taps her legs, gesturing for her to put them on his lap.

*-*

"Fuck!" Namjoon groans as the power goes out, making Grace jolt awake beside me.

"W-why is it so dark?" She whimpers, her grip on me tightening. Sensing she's scared, I pull her into my lap, cradling her against me as someone turns on their phone light.

"Don't worry sunshine, the fuse box has probably tripped, it's nothing to worry about." I explain trying to ease her worries.

"I'll go and look at it, Yoongi will you give me a hand?" Tae says standing, his own phone light turning on as he finds his way out of the room.

"Hobi I don't like it." Grace mumbles pressing her face into my chest. Then an idea hits me, it was obvious really.

"Everyone turn on your phone lights, put them on the coffee table." I say, smiling as the room slowly lights up again as everyone follows my instruction. Soon we can all see each other again, everyone's eyes focused on Grace in my lap.

"Is that better? Look, you can even see Jungkook still eating!" I whisper into her ear, her head turning cautiously to look at Jungkook, giggling when she sees his cheeks puffed out like a hamster.

As she's giggling the lights turn back on, earning a cheer from everyone in the room.

"Who left the garage door open?" Yoongi says annoyed as he comes back in with Tae.

"I was the last one out there, but I definitely closed it." Jimin replies frowning.

"Well it was open when we went to the fuse box." Tae explains.

I feel Grace's body tense in my lap, her hands clinging onto my t-shirt.

"I swear I closed it properly." Jimin stresses, his voice firm.

"He's coming for me..." Grace's voice whispers, barely audible, but still everyone heard it.

Everyone's eyes are darting around, looking for someone to come up with a plan, or someone to take control. The panic only increasing when we hear a knock at the door, most of us jumping at the suddenness. Grace surprises us all when she climbs out of my lap, eyes sparked with something we hadn't seen in her before. She looked angry...
