"I am not forcing you, I am just doing it for your own good. Sorry if you felt that way. Why don't I buy you more snacks as an apology?" He didn't mind her anger towards him instead he felt more close to her by this behaviour, that's why he smiled towards her slightly.
By the thought of having snacks she beamed happily. She ignored all her anger and looked at Soham with her love for snacks as her gratitude.
"Snacks! I love that! I want-... Wait how do you know that I love snacks?" She asked confusingly. She very well remembers that she never told him anything about her dislikes or likes.
He flabbergasted by her questioning look, earlier he was enjoying her coquettish act for him but now... "I... Heard when you were talking to Roy this week." Well she won't put her guards against Roy at the least.
Serene pondered for seconds "Did I?.... Well yeah, I talk a lot of rubbish with him. But you are buying me snacks, don't come back later." She immediately put her guards down against him with his reply. Though she still doubts, she knows one thing at the least that he won't do anything wrong to her. She can judge that much at the least.
"I won't." He replied with his genuine smile. He wanted to buy something for her since the day he found out that she is poor in financial condition.
"Okay I need some sleepovers, something casual to wear. Then I need some toiletries too. Last but not the least, snacks." She put out all her necessities she will need for the next five days.
"I'll wheel you around." He can only do this as he knows that girl's do like shopping and he shouldn't budge when they are in shopping mode.
"Hmm." She hummed.
...
Soham took three sets of sleepovers for her to select "Which sleepovers?" He never thought that one day he would be doing this, but to his astonishment, he was actually enjoying it more than Serene. He likes to select things for her. Instead of sleepover he selected shoes and some attire for her that he liked at first.
"Select whatever you want, I am bad with all these things. Just do it fast, we need to go for snacks too!" She didn't mind wearing those outfits which he liked. She is used to doing that. At home not a single dress or attire in her wardrobe is her selection. Those all were brought by Harry or Henry. What she likes are footwear that are boots or shoes.
When he couldn't come up with any decision he bought all three of them. Then stopped himself from behaving out of character and directly went for the snacks section.
"Yess finally we are here. Bring that 5 packets and those green packets too. And those 3 of them. Then those toffee packs over there."
At once she listed out everything. She isn't sure about her senior behaviour but she thinks that these five days will be her party all night.
"Are you gonna eat all of this alone?" He couldn't believe that her little body could eat this much.
Serene nodded her head like a chicken. "Of course, but we still lack chocolates, let's go fast, I am hungry." She wanted food since morning, she can't hold herself anymore. Soham also realized that yes she needs to eat something fast. He called his restaurant to deliver some healthy dinner at his place before wheeling her towards the other side.
....
"Hmm 6 of the family pack, not bad Soham." She patted his arm as giving him recognition for his good work.
"Are we done?" He asked.
"Hmm"
He checked all the stuff again in their cart to be sure. He very much likes shopping, and that's a fact now. Initially they only decided with a few things, but hanging around with her, he bought a lot more than needed for her. Like they are living together from now onwards.
