The Time Traveling Killer

Chapter Nine - Two Months Later

I sat in my room, we had furniture in our apartment. It was like my house, cozy and cute. Ev lived with us and her many boyfriends that came and went. I had gotten a phone and laptop, keeping up on the news of Hollance. Chief Williams had caught him, it would be two more weeks before he was sentenced. 

Chief Williams advised us to stay out here until then, he didn't need Hollance getting any ideas. I agreed, but I was already making a website for Gronzes and Babies. I was excited and Flynn convinced me to do online college courses. I would get my Master's Degree in a few short months, maybe a year. 

Flynn and I did share a room and Ev was still being over protective, it made me laugh though. Flynn walked in, I looked at him from my laptop and paused the video. "What's up?" I asked as he sat down on the bed. “Nothing just taking a break from moving around the furniture in the bedroom down stairs. It still doesn't look right.” He said and smiled. 

"It looks fine, you just don't think it does." I said and closed my laptop and sat on my knees. "We can almost go home. Two weeks tops, then we buy a house and we decorate again, we buy furniture, and wait two years, then we get married." I put my arms around the back of his neck. 

"Then we… start our family and go on from there." I said, he kissed me. ”Only two weeks.” He said and grabbed my sides.  "Yep, Zachary, Hollance, and Miley are getting life sentences." I said. The brown in my hair went about halfway. My red regrew, and it was as curly as usual. 

 "I love you and we need food." I said. “So we have to go to the store.” He said and kissed me, slowly my back was on the bed. Ev walked in. "Stop! God I can't leave you two alone. We need bread and milk, and something for dinner, so let's go." She put her hands on her hips. 

I groaned and covered my face. "I'm letting you get pregnant Milli, you're sixteen. Have a life, then ruin it with babies." She said. I sighed and looked at Flynn. "I told you, we need food." I said. He pulled away and grabbed our jackets. 

“I know we need food, I was just having a little fun before we left.” He said and looked at Ev. "Fun? I don't think so, you would get all over her, without thinking and next thing we know, bam! We are in the hospital with little baby Gronze." Ev snapped. 

I pulled on my shoes and grabbed my bag. "Ev you know he doesn't want that, he's barely twenty one." I said. "Which is another reason, you shouldn't even be doing it! Your underage." She said. I rolled my eyes. ”Says you with five boyfriends.” Flynn said. 

"Who are all my age." She said. "Look Flynn, I like you, as long as you don't make a stupid choice with my best friend." Ev said and grabbed the car keys. “I already said I didn't want to.” Flynn said and walked out. "Then why try? If you're gonna do it, be safe at least." She climbed into the car. ”I didn't even do anything.” Flynn said and got in the car. 

"You could, that's my point." She said, I got in the back, wishing this wasn't a conversation. "We go home in two weeks!" I exclaimed. "Oh my god, really?" She squealed and screamed. "Finally, I miss home." She said. “What about your ‘friends’ here?” Flynn asked. "What about them? I have other friends." She said, I sighed. 

"This is what I do. Flynn, don't make me the bad guy. These guys are future material." She said. “That's pretty messed up. Meet them, hang out with them then just throw them out.” Flynn said, Ev scoffed. "Yes, boys like them aren't meant to be husbands, they would leave you for the next rich b***h, but that doesn't mean they aren't fun." She started up the car. 

"Boys like you, put a ring on it because you want to stay. You never waver, never leave too long." I smiled at Flynn. "See." She said. “So you like messing with them.” Flynn asked. "You are way too serious Flynn." Ev said and rolled down the windows. I put my hand out as she drove. 

"Flynn, do you wanna do a movie night?" I asked, I watched as cars passed. “Like watching movies and eating popcorn and candy. Sure.” He said and looked at me. "Okay, I'll get that stuff,  you get dinner, and Ev can get everything else." I said and grabbed Flynn's hand. He kissed it. 

We stopped at the store and got out. I kissed Flynn before he went off his own way to get dinner. I walked around, found popcorn, looked for good candy, got some chips, and drinks. I walked out of the aisle. Someone ran into me, I hit the floor, and everything in my basket scattered. 

I looked at the person, it was Zachary. I gasped and scrambled away. "Miss, are you okay?" I looked away and then back. It wasn't him. "Yes, sorry. You look like someone." I said. "I'm sorry about the mess, I'll help you." He said and stood up. Flynn ran over and helped me to my feet. "Thank you." I said, Flynn rubbed my back. 

"I'm sorry man, I didn't see her when I came out." The guy apologized. “It’s okay, I can help her with the mess.” Flynn said and nodded as he knelt down and picked things up. "Okay, I'll  be on my way." He said and walked away. I watched him then helped Flynn. "When I looked at him, I thought I was seeing Zachary." I admitted. 

“Zachery isn't going to find us, stop worrying.” He said and put everything back inside the cart. "Saying it doesn't change how I feel, what if they get out of prison and hunt us down?" I whispered and he grabbed my face. “They still won't know we went to england.” He said. "I mean when we go home." I said. 

He hugged me and I squeezed him. “Chief williams will deal with him.” He said and pulled away enough to kiss me. I pulled away and smiled. "Maybe not in public, people are staring." I smiled and stood up. He chuckled and pulled me over to his cart. "What if we moved to a different part of town?" I asked. Something in the cart was ringing, I grabbed a phone. 

"Flynn this isn't mine." He took it and answered it. He froze and looked around. Ev came over with her cart. "Hi." She said. "Flynn?" I touched his arm. “What is this.” He asked and put his finger to his mouth. I could hear someone on the other side, but barely. 

"Put Millicent… phone I want… goodbye or… watching." I looked at Flynn. "Flynn what's going on?" I asked. "I can... her you have… choices." Flynn gave me the phone. I put it against my ear. "Hello?" I asked. "Hi baby, it's Hollance." I froze and swallowed. 

"I can hear you breathing and I feel alive. I was allowed one five minutes call, so I'm going to make this quick. I love you and that will never change. You can hide from me all you want, in England or in Tacoma, but… I will find you. I may be locked up right now, but I won't for long, one day I'll get out. I'll come see you and whatever life you've made." I gasped. 

"I'll take you away and I'll do all kinds of things to you. I'll make you suffer for hurting me, for breaking my heart. I'll kill Flynn and Ev, I'll t*****e you and break you mind! Do you hear me? I will…" The line went dead and I dropped the phone. "Milli?" Ev whispered. My teeth chattered and I crumbled into Flynn. 

I sat up on my bed, I apparently fainted and slept in the car. Flynn was worried and wouldn't leave my side. We called Chief and told him what happened, he sorted it out with us. I looked at Flynn, he closed and locked all the windows, drew the curtains close. He laid down next to me and I stroked his hair back. “Are you okay.” He asked and held my other hand. 

"Freaked out, but other than that yes. He won't get anymore phone calls, and he's being transferred down to Washington D.C. to keep him away. I'll be fine Flynn." I said and kissed him. “He needs to be killed.” Flynn said and put a bag of cherries in between us.

"He'll die in his cell or get himself killed, he's not going to get us." I said and ate one. "Now look who's worried." I teased. I took off my shoes and jacket and laid down, eating the pitless cherries. “I am not.” He said and kissed me.

"You just suggested killing a man." I said and put a cherry in his mouth. "You might be a little worried, admit it." I demanded and put his head against the pillow. “Fine I am, about what he could ruin.” He said and kissed me. "See, worried. He won't hurt us, Chief is making sure." I said and let him go. He pulled me against him. “I can't wait two weeks to go back.” He said ate another cherry. 

"Yes you can, for our safety." I said and kissed him. "What's for dinner?" I asked, he smiled. “Noddles.” He said and smiled. "Just bland noodles?" I asked. “No with the meatballs. I forgot.” He said. "That sounds better." I said and ate more cherries. “And tomato sauce.” He said and kissed my ear. "So spaghetti?" I asked, "Will we have French bread?" I asked. “Yes that’s what I meant.” He said, 

"Oh okay. Well then we'll have brownie ice cream, candy sundaes, and popcorn, a new movie, and secretly do other stuff." I whispered and lifted his shirt. He laughed and rolled away, I smiled as he sat up. “And what’s other stuff.” He asked and pulled me up. "Um… things Ev doesn't allow, we'll be safe, for her." I said and stood up. 

"Want help with dinner?" I asked, he got off the bed. "We could listen to music and dance." I suggested. “While cooking. That isn't safe.” He mocked. "We have to boil noodles, it'll be fine." I said and spun around. I ran into the kitchen and spun around. "Come help me get pots." I said. “Why can't you get them.” He joked and walked into the kitchen. 

"Well I could, but…" I put out my bottom lip. "But I have to get the noodles." I said. “You can't get both, what about the meat balls.” He said and took out a pot. "Noodles first." I put my hands on my hips. "You chose dinner, you have to do most of the work." I said. “Who made that up.” He said and smiled.

"I do, just now… yeah just now." I said and patted his shoulder. He yanked me back and set me on the counter. I laughed and lightly pushed him. “Why do I have to do everything? I thought of it.” He said and held my waist. 

"Yeah and thinking of dinner is such hard work!" I mocked, and put my head back. “It is.” He said and kissed me. “I had to think so hard.” He said. "Oh, my poor baby. He had to think of noodles and meatballs and tomato sauce in a pot." I pushed his hair back and chuckled. He kissed me again and I shoved him again. "Get the pots." I demanded. “It was difficult.” He said and shook his head and kissed me. 

"Was not, now go or no other stuff." I said, he gasped and covered his heart. “You would never.” He said. "Wanna try me?" I asked and crossed my arms. “Fine.” He said and pulled away and grabbed out a pot. "Now fill it up and let it boil." I said. “Why do I have to.” He asked and slowly put water in it.

"I want dinner." I said and took off my shoes, sitting criss-cross. ”And I want to kiss you.” He said and smiled. "Oh, is that so? Well kisses must be earned not given." I said and drummed my fingers on the counter. “Can you give it to me?” He asked. "Give you what? You have to earn kisses, but one free one." I said, he kissed me. I pulled him closer and didn't go up for air, he was eager. 

"Did my other promise get you hyped up?" I asked. He pushed my back into the cabinets, He held my legs. He pulled away and breathed hard. I gasped and smiled, "That was good." I said and swallowed. "You are so eager." I said and pushed my teeth together. “You're beautiful.” He said and kissed me again and kissed my neck. 

I smiled and bit my lip, "Not in here, wait." I demanded and forced him away, he nodded and smiled. "We'll do it after the movie." I said. “Promise.” He said and kissed me again. "Promise, I always keep my word." I said and Ev walked out. He let go and started stirring the water before Ev saw him. “Hi.” He said and stared at me. 

"Hi? What are you making?" She asked and walked to the fridge. “Spaghetti.” He said. "Oh, good. I'm starving, so what are you two planning to do when we get back?" She asked. "Have a party, thank Chief, buy a new house. Spend a lot of money, rebuild the company. Gronzes and Babies. It'll be a company for baby stuff, clothes, toys, cribs." I said and smiled. 

"Wow, sounds like a lot of work, sure you can do it?" She asked. "I have Flynn." I said. “Thank you.” He said and smiled. "Your welcome." I blushed. "You two are acting like shy teenagers." She said and sat down. I blushed even more looking at Flynn, he glanced at me and smiled. Ev rolled her eyes.

Two weeks later Millicent, Flynn, and Ev were getting back on the plane going home. Millicent was sitting next to Flynn, he held her hand while she ate trail mix. Flynn and Millicent saw the whole city of London and went to all of the restaurants trying everything. 

They walked around the park and met so many people there. "Are you happy to go back home." Flynn asked as he ate a peanut, she gasped and sat pulled the trail mix away. "Hey! And yes, always. I want to go home, start our lives." She smiled. 

"I made the website and started designing cribs and car seats." She added. "So are we doing everything for kids?" Flynn asked. "Everything for babies, yes. Strollers, carriers, and clothes." She put her head on Flynn's shoulder and smiled. 

"Won't it be fun, we could play with all sorts of babies." She said. "I only want to play with your's." Flynn said, tossing her hair in her face. "I bet, but I'm not going to have babies for a few more years, so you'll, have to, wait." She sat up as people walked past. Millicent was still so nervous. 

Flynn looked at her, "Sorry." She apologized and sat forward, pushing her hair back. "It's okay. So we're having a party when we get back?" Flynn changed the subject. "Yes, for Chief Williams. He did all of this for us, he saved our lives. We owe him and then we'll open our new business." She said and looked at me. Her eyes sparkling like diamonds. 

"How are we going to make all of these things." Flynn asked. "We contact builders, designers, and people to help. We start as a daycare first and build upwards." Millicent grabbed Flynn's face in her hands. "We'll make due somehow, I promise." She said. He nodded and kissed her. 

"What do you want your first child's name to be?" Flynn asked. That was a question Milli thought about a lot. "Maybe Edward if it's a boy and Stacy for a girl." She said, Flynn scoffed. "Stacy, why? That is such a boring name." He argued. "Boring? That's my middle name!" 

She punched him, a girl punch for sure, it didn't even hurt. "No wonder." Flynn joked. "Oh wow! You think I'm boring." She crossed her arms and glared at him. "That just lost you fifteen kisses for today." She said. "It was a joke." He was quick to say it, he grabbed her hands. 

"Yeah sure. You probably do think I'm boring." She said staring at Flynn. "No you're not. Your fun." Flynn promised, Ev looked at them. "What are you two doing now?" She asked. "He called Stacy boring." Milli complained. "Stacy is her middle name." Ev said. 

"See!" She exclaimed. "I know that now, it was funny." Flynn said. "Yeah, I bet, what's your middle name?" Milli asked. "Fitz." Flynn answered, he looked at her. "Flynn Fitz Ariest? Okay it's not that bad, but Stacy and Fitz, they are perfect sibling names." Milli argued. Everyone began strapping in. "Okay those will be our first children's names." Flynn promised.

"Okay, I agree. You still lose kisses for calling me boring." Milli said and smiled. "No wait, I want them!" He begged while strapping in. "I don't believe you." She teased. You could feel the plane beginning to move, it took a few minutes to adjust, but Flynn felt queasy every time. Milli handed him the rest of her trail mix. 

"I'm full." She said. "I love you." Flynn said. "I love you way more!" She said and squeezed his hand. "Ready to go home and be a new man?" She asked. "And be a wonderful boyfriend, yes." Flynn was sure of his answer. She squealed and ate a peanut and laughed, "I'll never let you go, not now, not ever." She said, Flynn smiled.
