650 Words
For an hour they played and Misha really enjoyed playing with agnus.
"Aunty, I'm hungry" Misha said
"What will you eat then?" Agnus asked
"Ice cream!" Misha yelled excitedly. Agnus chuckled
"Not what I had in mind but how about rice then later we get ice cream" She suggested to which Misha asked "really?"
"Yes" Agnus confirmed.
"You're the best, daddy never lets me eat ice cream. Only once a week" Misha told her
"And it's good diet" She agreed with Damien but Misha had other thoughts
"But I hate broccoli and he always wants me to eat those, broccoli tastes yucky" she stuck out her tongue in disgust.
"But it's good for you" Agnus said but Misha disagreed "No, it isn't"
"It is" She said then began tickling Misha. The little girl squealed in excitement. Agnus chuckled and then let the girl go, saying "time to eat"
"food!" Misha squealed
When Damien returned, it was past 9 in the night. He had his key, entered and locked it behind him. The house was quiet, not what he expected but when he entered the living room. He saw Misha, asleep and a blanket over her. Agnus sat beside her, scrolling on her phone, she hadn't noticed him.
"I expected Misha to still be awake" Damien spoke. Agnus looked up
"You're back"
"And you didn't notice" he pointed out
"Oh please, I was busy" She said
"With?" Damien asked, he was curious
"It's just work, I wouldn't want to bore you. How come you came back late?" she asked after giving him an answer that did not do anything to his curiousity but he answered her question
"Big meeting, project. I hate work half the time" he said
"Don't we all?" she asked rhetorically. She stood up, ready to leave "well, I'll see you"
"Wait, you're leaving?" he asked, not really expecting her to leave
"Yeah, I've got a home to return to" Agnus answered like it was obvious
"It's 9, you can't go home. It's not safe" Damien said, he didn't want her to leave alone at night.
"I'll be fine, I've got pepper spray just in case" she said but that didn't make Damien's worry seize.
"Still, I'd feel awful if I let you leave. Why not spend the night?" Damien suggested, her eyes widened.
"Spend the night?" Agnus repeated/asked
"Yeah, it's better this way" Damien said but she shook her head
"look, not to be a bearer of this kind of news but like you said this morning, we were never really friends and I hardly know you so it's safe to say that I don't trust you" agnus explained, his expression fell.
"Oh"
"yeah" she said
"Okay, it hurts that you don't trust me but I'm not like Matilda, I'd never use you. I'm pretty loaded and I'm just asking you to spend the night. Believe me, I'd drive you but I took my car to get repainted, I hailed a cab home so that's why I'm suggesting" he explained
"Oh, I see. I really misunderstood. Thanks for the offer then" he smiled "doesn't mean I still trust you" his smile dropped.
"Good to know" he dropped his bag and approached where Misha lay. He picked her up carefully with the blanket wrapped around her and walked passed agnus, upstairs. Agnus sighed.
"Maybe I was too judgy, I mean I don't really trust people now but maybe I was too forward. Oh well" A minute later, he returned.
"Come, I'll take you to a guest room" Damien said.
"thanks again Damien" agnus said
"No problem" Damien said
