"Yeah, I'll take that too"
"Okay ma'am"
"Uh... Wait, how much is my total?"
"Just fifteen thousand ma'am"
"Just?"
I raise an eyebrow up.
Cade will eat me alive and that's for sure. Imagine having a bad day and you get a fifteen thousand debit on your phone. And I am sure he's having a bad day.
"We'll take it."
I hear a voice behind me say. My breath hitches in my throat, it is over. I turn to face him with a smile.
"Hi honey... You look ... Homeless. Are you good?"
I ask mockingly. He is disheveled, dirty and looks like he'd rather be in hell than in here. I don't blame him though.
The girl nods and walk off.
"No don't--"
But she's already gone. I look back at Cade whose hands are folded across his massive chest. I smile weakly at him.
"How--"
"My phone and wallet please."
"I don't.... I don't know what you're talking about."
I say gently
"Anna please, I am so tired. I don't have the time for this."
I roll my eyes.
"You're paying though"
I ask reaching for the gold card in my purse.
"Just hand over my things."
"And you won't call the cops on me."
This time, he rolls his eyes.
"Now, why would I- "
"You're rich, you can do anything"
I say but he just laughs at me like I'm crazy
"Typical"
I hand him his things just as the girl walk over with the packaged dress. She hands over the bag to me but Cade snatches it before I can even touch it.
He turns the bag upside down and check out the dress with a face. It's black dress with pearls all over the material. Nothing special but deadly costly.
"I don't like this"
"The last time I checked, this is a boutique that sells for women, and I don't recall buying a dress for you"
He turns to the lady without so much as regarding me
"Don't you have something not decent and revealing but not too much. You know, a sexy dress for a small breasted person. "
My mouth practically fall open to the floor from embarrassment
"Don't forget she's 5'4"
He adds to which the girl nods and walk off.
''f**k you Cade"
He sticks out his tongue at me and draw horns with his fingers.
"Gladly"
"I hate you"
"And I love you too " he days shaking his head and dramatically standing akimbo. The girl walk back out spreading the clothes out for Cade to see. I'm the one wearing the dress. What's sort of sorcery is this?
"Okay let me be more specific. This is nonsense. I want something red." He spare me a glance
"Would red fit her?"
He asks the girl
"Yes sir"
"Oh shut up"
I mutter under my breath
"Okay give me something red, very revealing, very seductive, sexy. Something breath taking and worth buying "
"Be right back sir"
The girl run back. I stare at Cade and shake my head at him.
"You dress like a clown"
"f**k you a million times"
"On the bed." He smiles. "No I like the kitchen better, more access "
"You're disgusting"
"Didn't kill you this morning"
He states as a matter of fact.
"You're short dicked"
"That is not a thing sweetheart and besides I don't think a short dicked person can make you moan, bite , scratch uh.... Kiss and come? If so I must have broken a record somewhere"
"You're an i***t"
"Two, one. I'll get you again babe."
"Bastard."
I slump into the chair. "You'll see, I'll mess with the plane tomorrow"
"My pleasure, I'd love to see you do that"
"I will"
"Yea, you know what? We'll pick a site at the mortuary for you on the way home"
"We're dying together."
"I always keep a parachute in check, i***t"
"Make it two"
"No"
"Shut it f**k head"
The girl come back again this time spreading the dress for us to see.
All I can say is wow. It is stunning
"Ring it up"
He hands her his card
"Cade... I'm not -- "
''I know you can't afford it and that's why I'm paying."
The couple beside us chuckle and I grit my teeth.
"f**k you and your money"
I walk out of the store with a huff
"Stop being such a drama queen"
I say nothing as I step into the car and he drives me to my apartment
"We'll leave by eight am, be ready by then okay?"
WEE HOURS
I shove all the clothes I'd picked the night before in the suitcase, along with the dress Cade purchased yesterday and my shoes on top. I close the bag up and drag it into the living area.
Just then the door bell ring. He's here already, never late always punctual. I open the door with a smile only for it to turn into a frown. It's my landlord
"Good morning Ms Parker"
"Good morning Mr Bean, my respectfully my name is Anna. And I believe I already told you that countless times" I say softly
"I don't care whatever your name is"
He says, moving closer so I can feel the warm breath on my face.
"I came here for the rent. Where is my money"
"I... I don't have it yet. I thought I told you"
I say with a nervous smile.
"You've been behind on rent for the past two months."
"I'm sorry... I.. I'm going to pay up. I promise I just-"
"Then" he straighten up
" I need you to vacate this house in the next one week. That one week is grace to pack your stuff and probably go back to your parents house "
Automatically I hit my palm on his face and hard
I make to shut the door when a car stop in front of the house. An old man get out of it. He's dressed in a suit, he round the corner and climb on my stairs
"Bonjour maidmoiselle" He curtsies
"Good morning"
"Mr Wayne said to bring you to the airport, we are getting ready to take off"
"Oh okay let me grab my bag then, one second."
I retrieve my bag and well out of the apartment, shoving my landlord out of the way. I shut the door and make sure to lock it before climbing into the car..
"You're George aren't you sir ?"
I ask once he enters the car
"Yes ma'am"
"Please call me Anna. I hate feeling old. Cade talks about you a lot"
" I'm highly honored " I sight the plane as the car stop. Quickly I get out of the car and grab my baggage and walk towards it. Inside I go through the stairs and seesh they're long for me. The door close behind me and someone someone collects my bag and leads me to my seat, beside Cade. Ugh. I do my seatbelt glancing at cade whose busy tapping away on his phone.
"Good morning d**k head." I greet
"Trouble. Good morning to you too"
"Oh please like you didn't see me before when I came in"
I say scoffing
"I'm sorry I was occupied"
"Yeah."
"Flight ready to take off please secure your seatbelts"
Some one announced and then the plane starts to run on the track reaching it's point before ascending the sky. Cade hold my hand and I look at him with disgust etched on every corner of my face.
"Do you remember?"
"What?" I ask with a sneer on my face
"What you said you would do this morning?"
"Hmmmm"
I tap on my chin dramatically. "Bout the airplane? "
"Yes"
"I do .You're just luck--"
"I did it. That was why I couldn't come to pick you I had to mix some wires, the pilot isn't even licensed"
"Hahah" I roll my eyes
"But I brought a parachute. I forgot to bring yours."
"You're kidding alright." I say snatching away from him.
"We could fly together if you want. I'll hold you but you'll also have to hold me too"
"f**k off"
"Or I could just stay here with you when the plane goes off. So we'll die together"
"One more word Cade and I'll kill you"
He chuckle and I roll my eyes putting in my buds. Bastard
