Chapter 6 - Shopping
1327 Words
Damien and Paige headed to the nearby wet market, which was a rather tiny establishment. The two went out and purchased a substantial amount of food to have on hand for the next few days. Damien was particularly concerned that Paige would find out about them, but he was also concerned that no one else would.
If they are constantly gone, it is difficult to meet basic demands like purchasing food and supplies for the pantry. They also purchased a significant amount of beef.
Paige's expression changed as her excitement level rose.
“Wow! Damien, you really stocked up on the meat! What are you planning to do in this location? Paige inquired of the individual.
The brows of Damien were furrowed. He is very angry. "Paige, in your opinion, what do you believe is being done with the food? Of course. Consuming the food, what else is there to do?"
Damien is juggling a lot of thoughts and ideas at the moment. He is interested in learning about Douglas' current circumstances as well as his whereabouts. He was concerned, for some reason, that he could have finished off Douglas for good. And if Douglas is no longer alive, it will be an even greater challenge for him to track down Maximo, his boss. Douglas is in fact the one who holds the key to locating his scumbag boss. And Paige was elaborating on his previous ideas. The constant questions and comments from the other person make her thoughts more unsettled.
Paige was taken aback by the manner in which Damien interacted with her. Her brows knit together in response to his demeanor. And then she made a babylike pout with her lips. Paige averted her gaze from Damien and instead focused her attention on the ground in front of them as they walked. Paige makes Damien feel next to her.
"What do you consider me to be, you i***t? Naturally, I am aware that the meal is consumed. You went out and purchased a lot of food, and there's a chance that I might cook later on, but you don't like the meal that I made. That's the only reason I'm asking you this. I am well aware of how little patience you have, Damien. That's why I'm curious about it,"
Damien imitated a youngster by ruffling his hair and kicking one of his legs in the air. "You talk a lot. Could you please be quiet? I need to think about things!
Paige's response to the expression on Damien's face and the manner in which he spoke was to chuckle. "Ahhh... do you have something on your mind? When you first said that, I believed you were crazy." It is obvious that she is making fun of him.
Damien was having trouble focusing on what he was thinking. "I said shut up!" He raised his voice to her.
Paige was taken aback by it. The girl was taken aback when Damien started yelling at her. Because of this, Paige started walking much more quickly so that she wouldn't be able to keep up with Damien. Paige feels enraged.
“Bastard! Arrogant!”
The annoyance that Damien had been feeling evaporated immediately. He laughed at Paige's confused expression. The girl has a really childlike demeanor. And since he didn't want to give Paige the outfit that belonged to his late wife Vanessa, he gave Paige the dress that he wore. The fact that he is such a large man gives the impression to the woman that the t-shirt he is wearing is a dress.
Damien felt better again. When he's with Paige, he gets the nostalgic feeling that he had when he was a kid.
Because of this, Damien made an effort to subdue Paige. He reached out and placed his arm across the woman's shoulder.
Paige felt a great deal of annoyance. The arm of Damien was dismembered and removed from his shoulder.
After laughing, Damien repeated the motion of putting his arm around Paige's shoulder. "Eww! Don't touch me, Damien!"
Damien was concerned that the plastic bags they were carrying might get punctured or that the meats might fall out of the bags because Paige ran away from him while they were carrying a large number of shopping bags.
"Hey! Don't run! It's possible that the meats will escape the plastic! When certain foods become available, I will give them to you in their uncooked state. You'll see!" The danger posed by Damien.
"Shhh! The nerve of you to suggest that I consume uncooked meat! Eww!” She made a rolling motion with her eyes, and her mouth was making a whispering sound.
Damien's mind wandered to an absurd concept. Paige's cheek was stuck with the bloody grocery bag he was holding, which had been splattered with meat juices.
Paige is disgusted. He couldn't believe that Damien would put the smelly meat from the fish in front of him!
Damien laughed as he repeated the motion of putting his arm around the girl's shoulder. "Paige, try not to get so worked up. Let's get home, shall we?"
Paige didn't answer. The girl's rage for Damien has not subsided. Her mouth is making a pouting sound like a child.
The stunning appearance of Paige's face left Damien speechless. Her cheeks are pink and delicately fair. The way the cheeks of an infant seem. Damien is exerting self-control in order to resist the temptation to kiss the stunning woman. Damien felt his heart rate quicken as he glanced at Paige's beautiful face.
The man was at a loss to explain the rapid rate at which his heart was racing. He had a crush on Paige, especially her red lips. Therefore, Damien pulled his arm from the woman's shoulder before she completely lost her faculties.
He instantly felt uncomfortable. It seems as though only the husband's late wife could give. Paige showed no response to what he had done.
He only caught a glimpse of the woman out of the corner of his eye, and he had no idea what was going through his head at that very moment.
It's been an hour now. Paige organizes the food and other items that they purchased from the wet market by placing them on the shelves and in the refrigerator.
"What do you believe to have been the cause of death for your wife, Damien?" Paige asked.
Damien didn't answer. His annoyance begins to well up once more in his chest. He was clueless as to the reason behind the girl's incessant questioning.
"Have you become unable to speak, Damien?" Paige gazed at him.
He turned his gaze to her.
"Why do you ask, are you trying to investigate something?"
"Shhh! Why? Is it only the person conducting the investigation who has the authority to pose questions?
"You're impossible,"
"Ha! And now I've become the unthinkable? I'm only asking questions! Now, if you do not want me to answer them, that is just great with me!"
Paige reacted to him by rolling her eyes. She took the broomstick from behind the counter and entered the filthy kitchen.
When Damien was by himself in the kitchen, his thoughts once again turned to Eric. Provide him with knowledge that hopefully will be meaningful to him. He was curious as to whether or not Douglas was still alive and if he was breathing.
The ringing of his cell phone in his pocket gave the appearance that his petition had been heard.
His eyes grew wide as he took a closer look at the sender of the text message. Eric.
He read the message with a giddy expression. In its message, it stated that it had been able to acquire some information regarding Douglas' whereabouts at the present time. However, Eric did not state if he was still alive or had passed away.
Damien experiences a startling illumination of his surroundings. He eagerly set out in search of Paige.
“Paige! Come here!"
